Botany Bay - Tuesday Options

[Majed]

My cousin Jimmy called me to go for a fish on his 15ft half cabin.....as i had been sick for a few days....i thought what better way to get over the virus...go fishing.....

Jimmy his brother Haden and myself were on the water around 3pm....water was a bit choppy around the drums and no bites...went to the oil wharf and anchored behind the oil tanker for protection from the wind, but all we could hook up was octopus....

so we moved to another spot....the wind had settled down a bit....we stayed at this spot from 4:30pm until 8:30pm....
lots of bites and catches from juvenille snapper....then the large Trevally's were on the bite....between 3 of us we caught 15 ranging from 32cm - 50cm.....boy are they fun to catch...

I hooked up a large King Fish on my smaller rod...it has 20lb braid, after about a 10 minute fight with minimal drag, the damn thing still managed to snap my main line, not the trace.....

After about 1/2 hour Jimmy lost a large salmon at the boat....instead of guiding it to the net, he thought he would lift it out of the water, and what do you know, he lost it....and later he lost a large jewie....

Not to be outdone i managed to hook up a nice 60cm salmon....and a couple of descent sized bream.....
a port jackson shark and a stingray...

All in all it was a fantastic afternoon of enjoyable fishing.....

Nearly forgot, guess who we came across fishing in the Bay......good old Jumpus....

These are the fish i took home.....Jimmy and Haden took their share home...i didn't take a picture of all...if they have i will add later...

Tell me about it must've had it mildly yesterday & feel like shite today

....water was a bit choppy

Majed it dosen't get any beter than yesterday twas a magic day on the water dont know where this chop was I didn't see any

Couldn't be bothered doing a seperate report so I'll just add here

Big temp drop from last week 5 degree's to be exact, all the small bait sized squid were non existant instead got sum studs wun of them a 30cm + shell not winging I got my dinner

Kungs were everywhere outside but only small models not big enough to attack my squid bait even had them up on the surface following my squid jigs

Ended up back in the bay in the arvo & the wun day majed needed to have worms he went out & got some conbantram

Majed when ewe have sweep & yellowtail behind the boat tis time to give that spot the flick, they only hang around on small tides & yesterday was a shocker for that

Did manage a few salmon b4 the yakka's got to the baits, snapper were all undersized got a few b4 the yakka's got to the baits 4get burleying cause the yakka's ate it all
