Jesus jakey boy, I was screaming at my phone, lol. DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE, more drag, crank the drag, bahahaha there still some knarley foul on the bottom in the middle if ya let them have too much line, drive hard, heavy drag and stay on top of them, but shit ya still get done the donkeys
Have caught a lot of kingis in the entrance there on live baits. Not sure if it would be the same on a stick bait, but when we hook them on liveys we lead them out into deeper water with very little drag on them. Probably about 2kg. Believe it or not they generally follow like puppy dogs. I was the same as you initially, as much drag as we could handle and continually got reefed. Once we realised the trick was light drag we started catching them.
As a newbie for kingfish fishing this was a great episode. I learnt a lot watching this one, thanks! :)
Thanks for the comment! I’m certainly no expert but I am having fun learning!!
