howdy all,

been a while since i put any pics of some green and gold beasts up, but had two trips out over the weekend to check out the kingis

saturday was a bit on the sloppy side and we eased into things with a good dozen ratties


before they started getting bigger


and once we nailed the colour and where the fish were holding we were into some good 15kg models


and finally a nice 18kg fish, our friend from indonesia couldn't quite manage to stand up to hold him for the photo, eventually released to hopefully grown to twice the size


sunday saw some nicer conditions and a group from speights country

kelvin wright nailing this nice 19kg fish the best of the day, loads of other kings caught and released over the day


some sweet kingi action, but not quite as sweet as washing down some fresh kingi sashimi, macadamia crumbed kingi and smoked kingi flaps the last few nights with a few summer ales.....

have a good christmas all

Awesome, some great Kingi action Epic

I think you must be deliberatly turning your stern to the open ocean ,so we cant see the aldies in the background and get a location from it .Some great fish think i'll have to come down that way over xmas 

Great fish!!!!

All the bigger ones were long and skinny and had spawned, a few of the bigger ones would have gone well over the 20kg mark with better condition. A lot of fish have moved in close round the Aldys, close to the Sugarloafs and coast as well
can't wait for some sessions in close to shore first thing in the morning with the kingis crashing bait round the boat
cheers
carl

Nice....pink doing the damage?

Great pics of great fish........only thing  ...when you said "green and gold"...I thought you meant you supported Australian sports ...happy to see it was NZ Kingfish...

F'in mint Carl....................... As always
