Title: Over the border kings!
Post by: Tom Slater on November 26, 2010, 01:40:14 PM

Howdy all,

Thought i would share some of the fish we have been getting over the border lately
Shallow water with some pretty big kings makes for exciting fishing.

Next goal is to get one on a stickbait.


Jigs that did the damage were;
Daiwa Sacrifice Stick
FCL labo VM
FCL labo SL
Maria Blueflame
Smith Jacknifer
Hots Keitan

I have some more photos ill add when i get some time.

Cheers
Tom

Tom,
You killed us that day, at least I didn't let my boat down, not what I could say for every one else.  It was amazing the difference with you guys getting there only one hour earlier.

Yeah, definetly seems there is a hot bite right on sun rise. That's when we need to be throwing the sticks around. Couple of guys throwing poppers to draw them up and smaller stickbaits in behind. Plus you never know when a GT can pop up, i know they are there just got to get one fired up.

Either that or sinking stickbaits and get them down their in the zone, basically fishing a sinking stickbait somewhat like you would a plastic. And we both know they like a couple of plastics in their diet  8)
