Great vid Andy. Such bad luck with those big ones,..damn. What fantastic conditions

[@KingsWithAndy]

Thanks Rob, has definitely made me recheck my hooks and live bait holding techniques…. Might make a video of my efforts to learn…. Both Olaf and I had multiple missed hookups on our circle hooks so need some review I think. Makes us go back again eh.

awesome vid Andy, looks like a beautiful spot. you guys up North get the awesome weather over winter.

[@KingsWithAndy]

Thanks for watching mate, we are lucky that we can get up North for the endless summer! It was a bit chilly at the start of the morning around 6*C but definitely warmed up later in the day.

New sub here! Awesome mission Andy 🎉

[@KingsWithAndy]

Thanks for the sub mate! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Another good vid, do you think a smaller live bait would have kept you hooked?

[@KingsWithAndy]

Thanks mate, I think there was an issue with the circle hook not free moving. Potentially the hook might have turned into the live bait… will experiment with some other options…. I think the size of the live bait is the reason a massive king took it….I have had previous success on big baits… maybe a bigger hook required

@@petepender5539thanks Pete for watching , I need to practice my bridal rigging…. I am unfortunately a bit lazy and go for the easy option annoyingly losing some good fish.
