Would you say the fish you hooked on a popper was a king? Shame you lost it, it only takes one fish like that to make the whole trip worth it.

It was a large something. All the knowledge i've acquired would point towards it being a king but without visual confirmation I don't want to make the call. That Saltist i'm casting is PE 6 and it was bending like my 6-10 Tcurve on a 2kg salmon. Already changed all my hooks to singles. Never again.

This is the popper that i've now hooked up on twice, now with new shiny decoy singles.

The location & rock platforms look promising, the variety of fish species was good. Good pics + report guys :thumbsup:

Nice trip you boys had, you'll get your kingie one day Douglass, rock ledge's are a young mans caper that's for sure.. unless there's a car park near by then I'd take it up again. :thumbsup:

Brilliant fellas! I'm heading up that way to do some fieldwork in a couple of months so I'll have to check out a few of these spots. I might have to dust of the heavy gear and chase a real fish for a change. Cheers for the read Dougie, loved it.

ps those dart are sea sweep (Scorpis lineolatus)

That's a massive road trip. Well done for the effort. Hopefully soon that big fish will come.

Yes - dart look very different to those sweep in the pics.
The fishing Just gets awesome as soon as you cross the border.
