Yesterday i had Rory (leagacy on here) and John from yeehaa on board to spend a day out casting for kingfish. things started off pretty slow but the guys still managed to nab a few fish, Rory busted off a nice one and lsot his new shiny Hammerhead lure but lucky for him we found it flosting along the surface a short time later.
Later in the day we had a pretty hot bit and the guys nailed a heap of nice fish on hammerhead, falcon, killer and carpenter lures.
John got a heap of pics so i am sure he will add some in somewhere. But heres one of the boys loaded up on a double hookup.

Total over 30 king fish was landed for the day and John lost my Felcon stick bait at the end of the trip. so if you see one floating on the surface please post it back to me ... hahaha   Hammer-Head Cherry Pie 200-pilly  Cherry pie 200 - sliver  Felcon TT 200-black purple  Carpenter GT-gamma 105  Killer stick bait 200  Killer stick bait 150-45g  Killer stick bait 150-45g  MC Works' 806CR stick Bait rod  MC Works' 868 CR -100kg TUNA LIMITED -------------   WWW.YEEHAA.CO.NZ (09)5705058 30 Jellicoe Road Panmure |

The MC works rods were pretty impressive, not too harsh on the angler and able to put plenty of hurt on the fish. ------------- www.extremesportfishing.co.nz. Agent for Carpenter, Orion and ASWB products |

Forgot to mention in the report but on saturday one of the Kingfish John hooked jumped clean out of the water after it was hooked. This was the first time i have ever seen this happen and was pretty impressive. ------------- www.extremesportfishing.co.nz. Agent for Carpenter, Orion and ASWB products |
