Well dat's Whangaparaoa in the background with little barrier the smudge (sorry Smudge*) over Mr Cicada's left shoulder. So at a guess I'd say ... Rangi light!
Ok here my guess, it's distruction gully, and your flickn your flies at the channel markers.
Sinful your right, 4 kg - 24 kg line, it dont matter, 8 kings is sooo much meat it just aint funny.
Cheers Wefaknis

Sinful,
Sorry to hear that. We have one or two charter operators in the Bay of Islands that are persistently guilty of similar actions. Why the hell is the kingfish limit three per person?? One per person is more than enough. We need a lower kingfish limit now!

Well done Cicada, great fish. What's Morsie got!!??? He is a freak with the rod too. Bet that one gave some lip!
As far as giving away locations, everytime someone mentions a spot it becomes open slather for pros and seedy "chilli bin" fillers.
I run a policy on my board that locations remain non specific ie Auckland Harbour, The Corammandel, the cavalli's etc because you never know who is reading this!!
