oh yeah that makes sense. thanks for the advice.

i fish botany bay and ive heard alot of people refer to the third runway?? would anyone like to inform me where this third runway is? i can only count two??? i know most of the bay lingo but this one has me stumped. thanks in advance.

black fish bonanza up the georges. hopefully. it will be my first time hunting the blackies.

is that true???

thanks for the replys fellas. i use plastics quite often ive just never used gulps.

spend more money on fishing gear!!

thanks guys ill give them a go then. i just wanted some sort of reassurance that they wouldnt be useless to me cos i dont go freshwater fishing.

i went to get some gulps the other day (never tried them b4) they look good, ive found that i want to give the grub minnows a go. gulps come in a blue packet and a red packet, the blue says saltwater and the red says nothing on the packet about salt or freshwater? the gulps i thought looked good were in a red pack, does this mean they are freshwater???? do they still work in saltwater?? hopefully we have a gulp expert in the ranks?? ive looked on all the gulp sites but none answer my question? any help is appreciated. cheers

Two zero

hello raiders, i was planning to target some jew in the georges/botany bay on saturday night (23/05/09) because of the little moon that will be about. but with all the recent rain i was wondering is it still worth a shot??? the water will probably be muddy and freasher than normal. will this put the jews and breambos off??? i have been fishing before after a massive downpour and it wasnt very good but it may have just been one of those days. im interested to hear what theories you guys have. cheers

ive heard alot of people say they fillet there flatties, (i dont usually fillet fish i just wrap them up in foil and cook the whole fish with butter and garlic) and i would like to know how? particularly flatties because i catch them most. if anyone can post a link to some information preferably with some pictures? or just write a little explanation if its pretty simple. cheers guys

imagine having a paddle/swim at the beach and seeing that

love the tailor. i saw heaps being taken in the woronora on the weekend.

if worst come to worst retreat up the georges, still beats not fishing.

and well done mate sounds like a good day out. the leather jackets are under rated they are good to eat and reliable because there are so many.

well done sounds like a top day, and a great report too. very well done again!

i saw you there aswell. yeah something is up at the moment i havent seen a 30cm snapper in the hacking for a while or a nice flatty instead im seeing leather jackets (thousands) and trevally the trevallys ive seen are a nice legal size too?? i dont know maybe it has something to do with landbased. bu i too would not be giving up on it just yet.

went out to the port hacking on saturday 09/05, got out onto the water at about 7:30 thanks to a hectic morning trying to locate my mates wallet that was right infront of us the whole time, long story!. anyway we went to a nice drop off spot and noticed a couple of nice trevally around, my mate caught one after it gave him a good fight and i started to really burley up to see what else we could get around the boat (this spot is usually very alive and there is a good chance you will see some nice size fish of a few different types) well after about 10mins the leather jackets rolled in on us they were in plaugue proportions. last week i wrote a topic of leather jackets in FISHING CHAT, i had no idea how to catch the line clipping b@$tards and got some good advice from some fellow raiders (Thanks again guys) i tried a few of the things they had told me and before i knew it i had about 20 in the boat (a record catch for me considering this time last week i could barely manage one). after we got a nice bag of letheries we started trekking off to our next spot to go for something a bit different when my mate called that he saw some nice size fish swimming aroung in the channel so in goes the prawn and bang zzzzzzzzz. i pull out a nice trevalley and less than 5 mins later my mate pulls up another nice one but we released all the trevallys we already had a good amount of fish from the leather jackets and im not sure if you need to cook trevally a certain way? but they in my opinion are not the best tasting fish great to catch though. anyway it went a bit quiet at about 11:30 so we called it a day, a good day of fishing in the end. sorry no pics we lost the camera too but ended up finding it in the boat when we got back . on sunday 10/05 one of my mates wanted to break his fishing viginity and so i thoght we would go out to botany bay, the weather channel said bad weather but it wasnt bad at home so i thought it could be worth a try because my mate was all excited i didnt want to let him down. well put in at tom uglys and started trekking into the bay, it was hammering down out there we got about 50metres out from captain cooks bridge and had to turn back the bay was very rough. so we went up the river and threw some soft plastics around i landed 2 flathead both barely legal so i released them but we had been rained upon for quite some time now and it was freezing so i told my mate that we would stay out untill he caught a fish if he wanted but i dont think he rated his chance of catching one cause we were on our way home a short time later. not a very good day for fishing but an experience never the less. and its always good to get someone new out into fishing.

well done on some great bream very very nice and a nice bag of leatheries, very impressive. a good net man always comes in handy.

that was hillarious it reminds me of a manchester city game a while ago where baloons flew onto the pitch and the GK got all confused and forgot to stop a rather weak shot.

hmm... interesting, that not good news i was going to go there 2moro for an early morning bash but i might have to reconsider and hit the bay inlight of this news. cheers

im a bay regular but i dont squid much at all i had my first try the other day and i pulled up a big squid infront of the 1st (left when looking at it)(where the planes belt over) runway and we saw a few other ones there too. i dont know if its is a good spot or if we just got lucky that once? but id say if laperouse doesnt happen for you then it may be worth a try.

im with olive oil on this one.

GO BARCA i hate english football we need barca to win for the good of the game just like AC Milan did in 2007, ok that aside two of the "penalties" were very borderline so you cant knock the ref for the shirt pulling ones, eto'os hand ball was not a hand ball end of story, however pique did blatantly hand ball but on the other hand Abidal should never have been sent because Anelka tripped over himself and barca had to play the end with 10 men so atleast the ref was not bias he was just S#$thouse. Drogba, Terry and Ballack should get about 3 match suspensions it doesnt set a good example for youngsters at home. however everyone is talking about the match it was great viewing especially if you backed barca. personally i liked newcastles late late effort in the ACL BRILLIANT, and i dont even support newcastle.

i wouldnt complain sounds like a good session anyways mate, and you did land a couple and any king is better than no king. cheers
