    Botany Bay Night Bream Session

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    wish I could be so casual about a 40cm Bream... that's a great fish :thumbup:

    Cheers, Slinky

    Nice haul!

    Quick question, a few people have told me that there's decent fishing around "The Drums" at Botany Bay - I've got no idea where that is - is it somewhere that's only accessible by boat, or is it somewhere I can fish by driving/walking? I understand if you don't want to give away exact fishing spots but a general idea would be nice, I don't have a boat and would like to go find somewhere with a little land-based action around Botany.

    Thanks a lot guys, perhaps I will look at the Starlo Stix Squidgy Spin Light 722 2pc 2-4kg rod, and the 2000 Daiwa Exceler Plus with some 6lb Fireline instead.

    GoFish is a little out of my way unfortunately, else I would be happy to stop in.

    Hi All,

    I've recently started to get back into fishing, and I purchased a crappy Shakespeare Catalyst 6'6" 3-6kg Rod & Reel Combo to start off with. It was enough to get me started but since using my friends G.Loomis Rod & Daiwa Advantage Reel Combo, I've come to realize that better gear would be money well spent.

    I mainly go fishing out at Narrabeen Lakes off the shore, or off the shore around Sydney Harbour. I'm not into Rock or Beach Fishing but may occasionally go out on a small boat.

    I'm not chasing the huge ones just moderately sized fish. Decent sized Bream, etc.. the usual common stuff.

    I want to spend under $300 for a new Rod & Reel Combo including some line to go with. I would like to keep it 2-piece so its easy to fit in the car, but wouldn't mind allowing for slightly heavier fish.

    I came up with this Combo and would like to know your thoughts if it's suitable for my application, or if I should perhaps go with different specifications:

    Reel: Daiwa Exceler Plus 3000 150yds/16lb

    Rod: Shimano Starlo Stix Squidgy Spin Heavy 702 2pc 4-8kg

    Line: Fireline Crystal 14lb

    Am I on the right track?

    Advice appreciated!

    Regards,

    Ryan
