Well done Roofy. What a catch and the young one with the biggest fish. Good on'im
6 hr drive from Melb went every Queens birthday weekend for 15 plus years , boy the stories from there.
Did do it once on my motorbike in 3.5 hours but cost me $250 in fines, gummy shark, salmon, tailor and blue swimmer crabs great spot too
I normally do a Queens birthday boys weekend with some friends, I think I might suggest a trip up that way.
If you drive another hour n a bit you will come to Eden, i'm here now 2 - 3 kg salmon off the surf and if you have your boat you can chase the king fish and boneto tuna. Its been a bit slow for me this week just a couple of salmon, silver travelly, flatties and as many 4" yellow tail scad and leather jackets you wanted!!
Not sure of my ship (tinny) would be safe in Eden Attachment 24363
But I might stop there on the way home from Narooma later this week
Should be fine mate i have seen bath tubs fishing a fair few k's of asling beach this morning and it been looking fairly flat, up to .5 meter swells i would say. The ramp here is just out of eden at quarantine bay, i'm not sure if can launch from the wharfs in town but if your not too confident in going out of two fold bay in your mighty vessel we have been getting our fish from the Navy wharf near the chip mill, or if you want to fish off the surf you can go fish behind the tip and i went today to The bay cliffs near wonboyn lake. Its a good hour n a bit drive including a dirt track that took me about 20 mins coz my MRS is a city grl that doesn't like off roading and i was just idling thru doing about 10 to 20 km/h
Went out on a fishing charter whilst in Narooma.
The charter headed out to Montague Island. We went in close where we fished for Yakkas for live bait, which my Missus had a ball catching, she caught more live bait on her own then the rest of us did. Lets call it a woman's touch.
Once we had enough we went onto the first bommie for the kingies. On the first drift my Missus got the first kingie on a squid bait rod and then a second, first two fish on board were keepers. (Photo of her two kingies, she didnt want to hold and touch them)Attachment 24503
So I thought we were gonna have a ripper day but it wasn't to be. But we all still did pretty good.
I think we caught 12 or 13 kingies, but only 5 keepers.
This one I got on the second bommie.

As you can see I was pretty happy with that. But was my only kingie for the trip.
The water was quite rough near the island off the bommie, we had a lot of trouble keeping the baits down even with the big sinkers as it was wind against tide so we went closer to the island in some sheltered waters where we got a stack of Mowies and snapper
I got two Morwongs Attachment 24524and one was a rip snorter Attachment 24525
And on the very last drift while the rest of us were reeling rods in to pack up my Missus pulls out a nice snapper to end the trip. Attachment 24526
EDIT, Told my Missus to put the photos into this thread, instead pasted the same post into it. Sorry.

Got to be happy about that, they have a very nasty attitude towards life in general.

Looks like a fun day out mate!
Well we spent a day out wide chasing marlin and tuna with no results. Bottom bashed 600m for blue eye cod and nothing....
Cone back with some deep sea perch and a few shifty flatthead but we did mix it up with the big boys...lolAttachment 24721
The shipping channels were busy...hahaha
..........on the move
Ahh the joys of game fishing :)
Still, a day out on the water is hard to beat, fish or no fish!
Yeah it was a great weekend away left early Friday and got back 3:30 today was a good laugh
Just tap it in just tappy tappy tappy
Mate has gone out to Portland this weekend apparently their catching tuna upto 95kg
cheers stevo.
just going through some old photos and found this , sorry about the cruiser , he has a troll now , while jigging macks at the 4 beacons the the old man thought he would drop a pilly on a 10kg spin stick , needless to say about an hour later , put the gaff in this . it had a mate with it , thought about trying for 2 but figured we had enough for a feed or 10
Gaddy
Great catch, any bigger and you would need another person.
We still get em to that size especially in the next couple of months , so hopefull once the weather clears the best last season was 38kg , but now we use 30kg full glass over heads , leaving the rod in a holder and jam a gloved hand in the spool to stop gettin bricked , there is no such thing as a fair fight with these buggers
Gaddy
Love to see it live on video.
I will try to remember this year , never think of it as usually when there is 1 there is a sceond hit as well
Video would be great but definitely need some pics this season Gaddy, also of your setup on the boat.
Cant go fishing so thought I would put some of last years best , bring on winter

Must go Yabbying this summer, been saying it every year but never get around to doing it.
Great channel we cross on the way to the Murray might give that ago, there is a member
living where we fish he may have a dam we can try.?
Some impressive hauls there Gaddy! Nice looking rig too.
Yeah, the electrics help but only if you know what you're doing :)
