Mate, I have often found kings take a very slow actioned popper, with a slowwwwww "bloop" action then leave to sit for a minute then a short spurt... hmmm.. actually sort of a stick bait action come to think of it.]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 22:17:15 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54301&PID=775642&title=finding-a-likely-spot#775642 <![CDATA[finding a likely spot : flicked a popper for about 20mins...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54301&PID=775574&title=finding-a-likely-spot#775574 Author: tobez

Try flicking out a popper as you pass each channel marker on your way out or back in. we often see Kingfish around them early morning or late afternon]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 10:58:11 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54301&PID=775241&title=finding-a-likely-spot#775241 <![CDATA[finding a likely spot : cool - NW strait down the coast...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54301&PID=775045&title=finding-a-likely-spot#775045 Author: tobez

MAte, try around Whale, Richards, Neverfail at Whiti, especially if there is a bit of slop/swell running. With the permanent schools of trevs/kahawai around Richards for example, anywhere around them would have to be the go.
Also if you see fish coming up over cobra etc, another good area, (well, with poppers, haven't tried stickbaits there yet), or any of those pins SE of Red. So many options around the mercs it is chronic.
Be prepared for some extended casting sessions though until you find some fish.
 The best way is just to look for baitfish schooling on the surface that is certainly the best way in the islands anyhow, and has always seemed to work for me here.
Had a Mako nail a popper I was flicking around a big school of trevahawai at the Fingers once en route to the Kings... man, you never seen a spinning reel empty so fast! :-) lol
No, didn't get the popper back, sorry. :-)
