Was wondering how those Atomic Piles would go on our kings. Are Decoro the agents for Patriots?
Some nice looking lures for sure and those Patrol magnum stickbaits look serious as.

well the week a head is looking good, so I will head up the coast and see how we go, lots of good areas up here to have a look at and a couple of places I want to cast a lure at for snapper, will give the rod and reel a work out for sure even if it is just casting about]]> Mon, 05 Sep 2011 19:26:52 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=69360&PID=994946&title=where-to-look#994946 <![CDATA[Where to look. : thanks Josh I will be doing that,...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=69360&PID=990736&title=where-to-look#990736 Author: Blue Asparagus

In the summer in the BOI I usally just boost around and chuck lures at everything I can, bouys piles, rocks reefs, points, bait schools, work ups etc. Take note of the tides you raise fish at certain spots on.For many of the spots I frequent getting the tide right is everything.  some spots I only make a couple of casts and if i don't raise anything move on, but for the deeper reefs/ baits schools I may cast for an hour or so in the same area trying to raise something. 

In the winter we often find surface feeding schools out deep (60-100M) but they are a lot more hit and miss getting on to them on top.

Re teaser idea, last summer we popped a bunch that raised to a spearfishing bouy being towed behind the boat while setting up to drop a mate in on a snapper posie.

This has given me an idea Mark...
Our Kings here in Cape Town are generally a topwater fishery, with jigs being a loooooong way behind... while our kings are nowhere near your sizes, in fact a 10 kilo fish here in the Cape is a trophy, we do get large numbers in the 4 to 6 kilo class, with a few fish pushing 8 or 9 kilos in the mix... while obviously smaller fish, matched to the right gear ( PE 2 and SB gear ) they are a blast, especially as its mostly a sight fishery.... 99% of our fish are caught on smallish plain silver spoons wound fast and straight... the faster the better... but as is typical of our kingies, you'll get 20 casts in with anything from 1 to 10 fish chasing your lure to the boat without hitting, before you get a fish to eat.... we boated 40 odd fish on Saturday past, where if we had hooked even half the fish that chased our spoons, we would have been looking at 150 plus fish... frustrating to say the least!
 
I have tried all number of fancy japanese lures, stickbaits, floating and sinking, SB's, weighted and unweighted.... no joy... unless its being wound stright and fast, the Kings aren't interested....
For ages I've been looking for a "secret weapon" to get these frustrating fish to commit more often rather than only 1 in 30.... these fish don't know a premium bait when they see one!!!
 
Our fish being alot smaller probably won't react kindly to a big prop bait like the PD version, and as our fish are mainly feeding on small anchovies, I reckon I might have to sneak myself into the bass fishing section at a local tackle store and pick up a few dying flutters, and upgrade the hardware and see how it goes...
 
Those of you not familiar with the "Dyling Flutter" its a classic bass fishing topwater, from Heddon ( same company that gave us the Zara Spook ) which has props both front and back, and comes as a version with just the rear blade.... might just be the right way to go....
http://www.landbigfish.com/showcase.cfm?PID=165
 
Might also be worth looking at the Peacock Bass lure classic, the Wood Chopper and Amazon Ripper... These baits are built to withstand Peacock Bass abuse, so "Should" be pretty tough with upgraded hooks etc...

Not sure if they will survive the class Kings you guys are blessed with, but they should handle our little guys no problem!
 
Cheers
Dre

thanks guys, some good advice right there, yeah Kezz with the marlin lures, we used to do it alot out of tutukaka and we scored some nice fish but the lures had hooks in them, so yeah a tease up would be the go alright.
well living up here I have plenty of scope to look at so a trip with the good captain will be the go

of the rocks tease them with a popper/stickbait pull away from them a couple times then let it sit or if your cheeky bit of topic throw a rigged pipper once the waters foaming lol]]> Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:57:00 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=69360&PID=990283&title=where-to-look#990283 <![CDATA[Where to look. : Those are those jumbo sized buzz-baits...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=69360&PID=990262&title=where-to-look#990262 Author: Capt Asparagus

Those are those jumbo sized buzz-baits yeah? They sure look very interesting.
When you are out jigging, often you will get the kings chase the lures very close to the boat.... when this happens, just put the jig rod down for a minute, pull out the popper rod (or stickbaits) and start working it.... the fish will be all fired up and close to the surface. even better if you have someone still working a fish or jigging at the same time.
