Chris Sproal sent us in a photo Terry "Mako" Mulchay caught this kingfish at the Merimbula Wharf. It was one of three landed that day - March 29. All fish weighed around 12kg and took 20 minutes to land. Well done amazing “Mako” – an amazing effort!
Legal size kingfish meanwhile have been very scarce at Montague Island off Narooma but one client on board the charter boat Playstation was rewarded.
Skipper Nick Cowley confirmed the fishing at the island continues to be tough, but one his clients, Mark from Cowra, on Sunday scored a solid 90+cm kingfish, all on 20lb leader and on a light rod fishing for snapper, after a 30-minute battle landed the solid king. They also got a feed of maybe a dozen snapper, plenty of undersized kingies and a couple bonito.
