    Botany Bay 12th of January exploring pays off

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    JB is spot on you can still fish a small area of the western side of this bay , the yellow bouys are well marked , i fish this point often and drift into this area when fishing but as soon as i'm inside of the markers the rod goes back in the boat but plenty don't i just hope the poster B_S_J did this , and probably only he would know.All due respect to the MOD but the gun probably does need to go back in the holster until B_J_S can put his hand on the fishing bible and swear that he did follow the rules :nono:

    Soft Plastics help

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Sounds like you are on the right track Kosta already The rod is a pretty important part of the rig and the lightest purpose built soft plastics ones are the best as that was the 1st mistake i made all those years back when i started out ,my rods are only around the $80 mark and the reels only $60 so you don't have to go crazy with the price, the jig head i find is all dependant on the conditions and the depth you are fishing.I mostly fish around the 3-4mtr mark and always have the wind at my back and fish a 1/8" jig head 4"gulp worm in pumpkinseed or watermelon . 6lb braid and 2 mtr flourocarbon leader If the winds are light i may have to step up to the next size jig head to get the distance.If you check out my youtube videos you will see the main action i use is just a slow lift of the rod , you can mix it up and it isn't an exact science trust me as i saw a 13yr girl at Forster flicking plastics into the lake system with a llightening fast heave of her rod hooking up to a 50cm flatty .But the main thing is making sure you hit the bottom watch your line goes slack and then start your gentle flick up wards.I'm sure you will get results with and bloodworm wrigglers as they are good and i reckon anything with a good tail action like the GULP worms have are the best type .Good luck mate :sun:

    Well done helping girls , putting your own life at risk also . Boat ok?

    Thanks mate , boat is all good got couple of new scratches but thats why i have a tinny .I probably pushed it a little longer than i should have trying to save the jet ski but i was pretty confident everyone was going to come out unscathed as we all had PFD's on but there is always a risk i suppose ,I have nothing but praise for the professional guys in the police, waterways and volunteer coastal patrol who take on the big stuff outside, these girls were fortunate it was well inside the bay and not out the front.

    Had a interesting arvo last Friday trying to find a spot out of the 25kt SW winds , Molinuex Pt was the only place where the water was calm managed a stinkin pike there so i decided to head over to the other side to my usual spots but the winds made it almost impossible to flick the plastics .Was going to give it another 30 mins before heading off when i noticed 2 blokes who had just moored their work boat at Captain Cooks landing and were rowing back to the oil wharf in a little tinny the poor blokes were struggling so i went over a threw them a line and started to tow them in when a tug came over and took them the rest of the way , i then decided to call it a day and started to head back to the ramp it took me nearly 20 mins from the oil wharf to the edge of the 1st runway when i noticed 2 young girls on a jet ski drifting into the runway breakwall , i threw them the same line i had just tossed out to the row boat lads and tried to turn them away from the rocks but the swell was making it too hard and they were getting too close , they then fell off the ski with life jackets on thankfully and continued to drift into the rocks by this time i was getting close myself and yelled out to forget the ski and get in the boat i had to put the motor in neutral so they could jump up on the back step safely i grabbed the 2nd girls arms and dragged her in but it was too late and the "flickinlures" boat was banging sideways against the rocks " go the tinnies " while a A380 was taxiing right next to us witnessing the drama unfolding , i put the steering on full lock and threw it into reverse getting a couple of bathloads of water over the stern,the sound of my poor little boat scraping the rocks was a little worrying but the 2 girls were safe, as for the ski it was being bashed against the rock wall as we headed back to the ramp .I gave them my phone to call their parents who had by the way told them both not to take the ski out for the obvious reasons, the only smart thing they did that day was to call the police before i arrived , we met up with the Police on the way back and they asked if everyone was ok , they said they would try and salvage the ski if they could , not sure how they went .The parents were very glad to see their girls safely back on shore and couldn't thank me enough.Not much fishing was done but it certainly wasn't a dull arvo on the Bay.I did this little video just to show what the condtions were like , no footage of the rescue had no time lol

    Kings on company time 3/7/13

    in Fishing Reports

    Hi Raiders,

    Had a bet with my boss - he lost so got to go fishing on company time

    Took two guys from work who'd never caught a kingfish and headed out at a lazy 10am

    Set them to work catching yakkas - after 1 hour decided the 5 they caught was taking to long, so dropped the handline in, and 10 minutes later we had 20

    Had some tips were the fish would be from another Raider, but the best spot was out to far for Newbies so stayed close to the heads

    Downrigged and surface trolled the Yakkas - 2 minutes in and the surface one gets slammed by a rat - 65cm back he goes

    Another rat - then downrigger goes off - first bloke grabs it and struggles to hold onto the rod (maybe 5kg drag tops on a Charter Special) so i lift while he winds until he's got it - A Short fight and a fat 85cm lands in the boat, besides the 1 yakka he caught its his first fish ever.

    Bloke number 2 on strike - a couple of rats on the surface, until whilst we are all watching the next surface yakka has a torpedo racing at it - it slams the bait and clears the water - so I call it for a salmon until it dives to the bottom, he fits it better than the first bloke and a 75cm one is boated.

    Was keen to anchor up and burley hard - but one of the guys got sick everytime we stopped.

    They caught three rats between 63-65cm each plus their keepers, butI still hadnt picked up a rod - so over goes a jig - second retrieve 92cm king hooks up and boated. it was 3pm or so by then, we each had a fish so headed home

    They were happy - great day on the water big rolliing swell but with a big period between each one

    boss was angry as we kept sending pics of the kingfish (he's never got one)

    Boat home and washed and packed up by 5pm - great day at work

    Fish were nice and fat - even the rats

    Mmmmm. Crispy coated kingfish with Red Curry Sauce

    Harbour was 14c at 10am low tide the bridge low tide and 16c at 3pm on the incoming tide

    Heads was 18-19c and down to 17c in spots

    Heaps of dolphins inside the heads , lots of whale watching boats (we didnt see any) zero surface action on the way out or in

    No leather jackets, but salmon were around

    top report mate , nice job on the rice presentation by the way :banana:

    Too much Burley?

    I agree with MAKO the scent is the trick with limited solids , the quantity is up to the individual .I have 2 x 10kg chlorine buckets 1 with a heaps of 1/4" holes drilled all over it ,i find this size hole doesn't let too much solids out , i fill the bucket ( with no holes in it :soccer_h4h: ) with a 1/3 of each ingredient , plus a dash of tuna oil about 200mls , mix it all up and top it up with fresh water throw on the lid and chuck it in the chest freezer ( the one in the shed :chair: ) once frozen all you need to do is tap the side of the bucket pop out that yummy ice block and drop it in the bucket with the holes in it and toss it over the side , will last for a few hrs .So the ratio would be - tuna oil 200mls : 10ltr bucket of solids

    1: chicken pellets

    2: shredded stale bread

    3: left over fish frames

    cheers Mark
