[@ShroomFishing]

Mate it always happens! Find the fish and then something crazy weatherwise happens and changes the entire landscape and we all end up back on square one lol. I'm gonna give it a red hot go this year on top as well, my backside still hurts from last time when I lost a handful of bream surface lures in that crazy king school video lol. I hope you smash em!

I love fishing there. Haven't been in a while and would love to go. So jealous of you enjoying the fight with some king's

This was one of my favourite vids from ya shroom keep it up also if you can pls try catch kings in the harbour

[@ShroomFishing]

Awesome, glad you rate this video so highly! Feel free to share it to some people you think will enjoy it. I actually tried in the past week, had live squid and live yakkas but no luck that day but that's fishing! Will keep at it

[@kurulus_editzzz1621]

Shroom got one more question how can I catch love yakka in the harbour. I heard you can use a small piece of pilchard with no sinker and cast it out. Is this the right way

[@andrewwarburton3943]

OK, I understand now why the squid didn't meet the frying pan.! Brilliant film as always mate. 👍

[@ShroomFishing]

I appreciate it Andrew! Yep, I can't believe we still ran out of squid! Would have loved to stay longer running on half cylinders after the carnage!

[@bdjayden]

epic! NICE kingy and good fight... i dont know why fish dont fight with me tho:( LOL, its also so weird how the fish still take your bait with this rig too. good job ill always suport you and keep these great vids comeing :)

[@ShroomFishing]

Thank you! Sometimes the rig is best in the most basic simplest form especially when you believe in the quality of your live bait. It does most of the heavy lifting and kings will ignore thick leaders and all kinds of things so having less components simplifies the equation. You will hook up soon!

[@bakit3927]

Also i have tried to go for kingies there too never have any luck. 20p line, any ideas for hook or sinker? And should we use live bait?

[@nathansoutbackfishing]

Awesome job bro botany bay is awesome

I appreciate it Nathan, when it's like this it's hard not to froth hard 👊

[@danielrighetto5018]

stewie is a legend, i still remember driving over the airport bridge and seeing him land a decent jewie, he might remember hearing someone scream, i always used to see him in my orange tinnie.

Well done guys. They are very powerful fighters . Great video Great fish. At least you won’t need to go to the gym after that workout. Have you thought about tagging a couple . Cheers

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Hilton! Always a good day when we head out armed with a plan. Slept like a baby that night haha. Never considered it, mostly because I never really expect to do that well! Very surprised as always. What a rush and I hope you come up tight to one this summer too!

You'll get a dream session soon Kyson! It's all chance and if you can get the right bait, that's half the battle. The next is due to how durable your gear is!

Will keep that in mind Filip 👊

[@jzfishing103]

Hey shroom I use float for kings would a two hook snelled rig affect the swimming action of the yakka therefore the kings would not hit it?

[@ShroomFishing]

Yes it does but the trade off may be worth it with a better hookup rate

[@bakit3927]

What time is best to fish there

[@ZeeXwarZZ]

Bro, you killing it hahaha keep it up champ

Killing it or the that kingie was killing me Zee! I hope to see you hooked up to a kingie this season bro!

[@ZeeXwarZZ]

@@ShroomFishing there is a reason why they called King fish but you came out victories my man, the crown is yours for sure. Hopefully bro 🙏🏻 just landing one is hard from land base. But this season 100% kingie

[@alexgunz4934]

I was there that day next to you guys we couldn’t get a yaka or a squid hahaha well done boys 🤙🏼

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Alex, it's tricky getting the livebait but if you can get it, you're in with a chance!

[@maldrury8313]

Surprised you did not use a stinger hook? I am planning a trip out there in the Yak - just thinking how tired I'll be on the paddle home.

[@ShroomFishing]

I usually forgo the 2 hook rig or stinger when just dropping it down especially since these squid were the perfect bait size and not large. Downrigging, a different story and especially if the squid is big one. Arms will be doubly tired Mal!

Don’t think I’ve seen u do a catch and cook yet Calamari tube stuffed with diced flathead & cooked in a lemon and garlic sauce I’d wanna try some calamari recipes but I can’t manage to catch a decent one … yet ,,as I’m only just starting to squid ,, its lockdowns fault

[@ShroomFishing]

You're right Benny. I might look into a catch and cook this Summer season. I don't know how to cook and what it would be but at least if would be comical. I've cooked some calamari before and it tastes out of this world! So different to the squid at the shops

[@alberthabib4220]

Loved the v video but wondering why you've got so many rods obstructing your work area. Great fishing.

[@ShroomFishing]

Good question! It starts off orderly but after a hookup or two mayhem ensues and a mess results lol

[@MJermMer]

I really need to have a go at this.... Tell Stewy you can't go and to take me instead :)

[@ShroomFishing]

You really do Michael! I forget how strong they are, they were all legals and I can imagine some really worked over reels after a few sessions of near-locked or locked drag fishing

Awesome video mate. Fishing botany bay tomorrow trying to catch my first kingfish. When your that close to Molineaux Point do you use a sand anchor or rock anchor?

Awesome! Does it make a big difference live or freshly caught dead whole squid?

Live squid is usually a step up over freshly dead. Sometimes the freshly dead will outperform a live squid but I've found more often than not it's the other way around but it does depend on the day

[@grimreaper6112]
