42 stripey's in 5 days at the Kings.  Text from Grant Dixon, Editor NZ Fishing News Magazine received this morning.  " "Hi Grant, just on way down coast from insane five days on King Bank. 42 stripies...."  I wonder where a few of the bigger boats will be heading for the Nationals??? More details to follow no doubt.

^^^^ Wow, like the bad old good days of the 90's Grunta I hope they come down the coast in the same concentration, it's only 1st Feb so the next two months should fire up everywhere.

Primetime with John Gregory. It has the hint of those great few years of the 90's AC, that's for sure. 

I remember being with Guy J on Outer limits on King Bank back then when we were just starting to get our heads around tease/switching. In 3 days we had 18 stripeys and that was the experience of a lifetime - something that's firmly etched into the old hard drive that's for sure.

Let's hope the fish hang around in numbers for a few months and that plenty make their way down both coasts over the season.

I reckon Grunta - If I had a smaller boat up there not really a Kings boat I would be hammering the grounds off De-Surville cliffs over the next month.
