Crazy Kingfish Session || Longreef Sydney Kayak Lure Fishing
Getting the combination of wind rain and swell has been impossible lately in Sydney. I took the opportunity to get off the coast when it came and after kayaking around long reef for a few hours I came across a school of hungry king fish.
no monsters in the lot but on light gear, its a great time I wont quickly forget.
6 kings on an hour before I finally decided to call it a day!
the strategy was to find some balls of bait and drop jigs down on them.
I was not having much luck until I moved onto the main section of the reef off the headland and found lots of bait in between 10-15m of water. Jigging with the 20g aliexpress lures was fun, but upping the jig size did seem to yield a better result with the biggest fish coming on the 150g AliExpress Jig below.

Thanks 😊 wasn't super happy with the inside of the lense being fogged up but no idea what I can do about it in the future!
Beautiful spot there. I would love to go back but I’m also a bit scared, I gotta be honest. How you love the slammer? Couldn’t catch the size. 25/30 are pretty similar. I have the 25, may buy the 3000 as well.

I think you are appropriately cautious. I only go when I think conditions are near perfect. Regarding the slammer 4 2500 dx... I kindof hate it. I had to get the gears replaced, it came back just as Geary, then i replaced all the bearings with ceramics and shimmed it myself to make it "ok" to fish. While it's good, it isn't $380 good.

@@cballzoutdoors ok, so I’m not the only one. I’m bringing it back today (actually now), for the second time. When I purchased it, it was super stiff and they say it’s normal. They replace the bearings for me. Still stiff but better. In salty water, it’s a little tank, but now it’s (maybe geary like you said), very very scratchy when retrive. But power wise, I would only change it with a 3000. But, there ya go, if you got the same problem, then wasn’t a case. I’ll let you know what they says to me today 🤣

@4WLEX I looked online and basically saw a lot of people complaining about the 2500 dx specifically BUT have seen Rokkit kit with similar poor sounding gears in an Authority. I think it won't fail, but for a premium price I expect more.

@4WLEX I'm not sure what I'll do next.. despite all the issues I did fix mine so I'm just going to keep it for salt water bashing in the yak.. I am looking to try a daiwa at a 300ish price range so might get a caldia sw

Mate where do you get those foldable rules that you were measuring the fish from?

It's a daiwa measure mat from iso fishing lifestyle, its great because it also floats. They have a bunch of random stuff like that for a reasonable price as well

What’s your sounder setup and what the blue line spinning reel setup?

I have the garmin striker 4+ which is the cheapest you can get with gps. I highly rate it but any sounder has a big learning curve. Small setup is a slammer 4 2500dx which I do not recommend because to get it working, I sent it to penn. They couldn't fix it, I then replaced all the bearings with ceramics(expensive) then had to shim the gears (time consuming). Paired with an Atomic Arrows AAS-702 which is brilliant, and 15lb daiwa grand braid and 16lb j-thread fc leader
Hader boz 😂
