Kingfish are amazing table fish. In this video, we teach you how to catch yellowtail kingfish using topwater methods and baiting on circle hooks.
In the 1900’s commercial fishermen used to trap kingfish in large floating kingfish traps, this was officially banned in new south whales in 1996. The populations were near wiped out. Since then, stock numbers have been coming back in healthy numbers; Which brings us to Tasmania.
Tasmania and its cool climate don’t seem to hold stock for long, but this year it looks like we’re shaping up for a good season; with some bigger models amongst them. Most yellowtail kingfish caught in Tassie are known as Rat Kingfish. They’re incredibly fun to catch, still fight very hard pound for pound, and make for an incredible meal.
They're elusive and frustrating, but incredibly exhilarating when you know they’re nearby. In this episode, we were spoilt. Stay tuned, because we’re sharing just how we’ve managed to secure a few beautiful models for the dinner table.
