Headed out at dawn this mornign with only one rod and a popper determined not to give in.
Cast for about two hours with out even a rise so Headed out for a surf Had a 4 hour surf at stradie it was mint, Runnig verry late by now I thought if I have a cast as I get back to the sea way It would be My luck and Ill hook up. Arms pretty buggered after the surf with in about 20 secs trolling the rod was neearly ripped from my hands, After a short and hard fight hooks pulled, Had to have another cast and got hit with in 5m from boat one more for the road hooked up only a small kingie but great on light gear on a popper had to go left them on the chew.69861

Gotta love Kingies. They are the best species to learn on with offshore artificials- on plenty of days they will eat anything. That gives you the confidence & patience to try other lures on other species. Well done,G-a-G.
