Have done it a fw times after jigging till my arms were falln off. As long as kings are present ur always gonna have a chance but what I noticed was the fish were almost always smaller than the fish we caught on jiggs. I use a diving swimmer which dives to about 30ft & a shallow swimming larger bibed lure this way ur covering a 30ft + water colum. ------------- Tight lines PE Pete |

Rapala cd 18 works good. On a trip years ago we caught 3 in 4 hours trolling to and from the snapper spot, and on other occasions we caught them on 9" green yellow and orange game lures, the old 125grams spinner painted bright orange with black angled stripes works good anytime these are the ones that worked the best for me |

Wanabe you paint that lure yourself? I've not seen that design or colour. What made you pick it? Best thing is it works! Great stuff ------------- The gods do not subtract from the allotted span of men's lives the hours spent on fishing - Assyrian Proverb |

we have done quite well on game lures like trophy lures t3 blue leader (flying fish colours) or t7 lumo(jack mac) kingis to 25+kg halco roster 165mm poppers (white/red head) kingi's to 16kg sebil bowa (gold/black) kingi's to 14kg tried rapala's cd18 and mag30's but dident work for us just got big kahawai the first time we struck the kings on game lures it was change of light had 5 lures out 4 kings hooked up but only landed 2 as we were only 2 onboad but 16kg and a 20+kg tagged the lures work best for us at change of light to about 2 hours after sunrise then top-water/jigging/ live-baiting takes preference we troll around headlands with plenty of current , pin's or structure with plenty of bait fish these are just a few of 2012/2013 catches      ------------- buying lures is one of those things only beaten by lying-down activities |

What sort of rig do you use for this? Sliding ball sinker above a swivel?

No sinker, just swivel, trace & hook & maybe bridal rig the livey or through the back depending on what you got

Yup, no weight, either up thru the roof of the mouth or bridle rigged. If theres no kings it's still a good laugh warching ky climb all over slow trolled macks. ------------- I waste most of my money on fishing tackle. The rest I invest in women and booze. |
