PORT AUGUSTA

we were pretty excited about port augusta after hearing about the 40-50kg kingfish caught in 6 metres of water in front of the warm water outlet from the power station. it was a bad start when the steering snapped on the boat 1km from the ramp, we managed to get it going good enough to just get there and back, we had 2 shots at the big boys mitch hooked one on a stick bait after seeing some surface action but snapped the 50lb braid after a massive run & one grabbed a live squid but the circle hooks didn't set. we saw another boat hook up but drop the fish at the boat after 20mins, spoke to some guys at the ramp said the boated a 30kg model. the boat is out of action now so looks like we will be home a little earlier
