    For the last few years it is has been much later (feb, march) before they are caught in consistent numbers off tonga, separation etc.

    At least that is what we have found. Usually when we have gone out looking for them earlier we just end up catching kingis.

    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Sorry i didn't mean to sound ungrateful

    Its actually heaps of fun

    One thing that we do that works really well is have a rod on standby all rigged up with a jig (right up your ally ah shearer)

    Often heaps of kingis follow up the hooked fish and someone who is free starts working the jig. More often than not this leads to another hooked fish.

    It has even worked once with tuna, we had two hooked on the trolling lures and when we could see them mum dropped the jig (on this occasion a shimano bottom ship) and it instantly hooked another tuna.

    It lead to total bedlam as there were only 3 of us on the boat but we eventually got them all in
