It’s important to have plenty of spots to visit when the kingfish are on because the boating traffic and the number of bait fishos on the better known reefs is crazy.
Residential kingfish can sometimes be found in the deeper holes of the Harbour and estuaries during winter, but they tend to be unpredictable and unreliable.Starting at the 50m mark and working out to the 120m mark is not a bad strategy. In winter as the water cools the kingfish tend to congregate on the deeper reefs in 30-50m or deeper.Kingfish will bite right through the day, but tide changes that coincide with moon rise or moon set are definitely worth fishing, so be sure to have identified structure and baitfish in advance and be on the spot when the window occurs.When you find bait mid-way up the water column and off the bottom you know that the kingfish are feeding on it! If you find bait and especially if you can see fish marking up but not biting, take a note and try the spot again after a tide change and sometimes the fish will have become more interested.If there is bait on such a structure then kingfish will be there at some point in the day or tidal range. The key to finding kingfish is to identify major pieces of hard structure that cause the current to upwell, such as a pinnacle, large rock, wreck or artificial reef.
The Sydney area is often thought of as an area where kingfish are predominantly a bait fishing species, but plenty of fish can be taken on lures, too.But often kingfish can be extremely fussy and difficult to tempt, no matter what lure or bait you put on their nose. Many people think of kingfish as being aggressive, pelagic predators that will attack any lure in their path, and they can be.Eric’s Tips For Catching Sydney Kingfish On Lures
