Thread: catching kings

Live school bait like mack etc. by spinners what lure do you mean? Stick bait or popper sounds like it may have worked. Jig is good when they are deep.
They can be wily buggers. They will see the trace and hook and not go near the bait, take it off the hook and throw it in and they will scoff it. Can drive ya buts when they are eating causiously.
@Spanners a mate got a 20kg on his softbait gear when fishing for snapper in the harbour. Took 40 minutes and the had to chase it in their tinny like you do marlin
