Stonker red, nice work.

Yes, with a loose drag and line being stripped at a rate to match the current.

Hi everyone We decided to take our boat out to botany bay on Saturday and see if we could catch a few fish for a feed. We loaded up on yakkas and then proceeded to downrig them around a few markers, Mollineoux Pt and the Bare Island bommie. We had no luck at any of these spots. At this stage we found a spot to anchor up and soak a few baits. After we got a good burley trail going we started to get some hits. Most fish were undersize Trevs and Snapper with the odd Bream thrown in the mix. We had a live yakkas out but something kept biting their heads off. I decided to not waste our headless yakkas and filleted them up. We sent yakka fillets down into our berley trail. We started to get takes form Kingies every now and again as the school would pass by. Sometimes we had double hook ups. We landed a few and lost few. The biggest for the day was lost on the anchor rope. We kept four legals 65-68cm and released 8 or 9 just undersize models. We also landed a 54cm Tailor. We lost a few more Tailor due to being bitten off near the hook. We called it a day after that and headed back to the ramp. Here is a couple of pics. The little guy is my godson Thomo.

Some great eating fish there. Well done lads.

Done

Well done.

Well done Swordies, Blue swimmers taste great. Cheers

Great result there, especially on a fly outfit. Cheers

Looks like a great time was had out there. Congrats on your pb yellow belly Donna.

Nice looking Flattie there.

Sounds like you had a great time on the water. Shame about the big trevor damaged by worms.

Nice Jewy, congrats.

Bluefin tuna go great on the bbq, its just like cooking T-bone steak only ten times better. I can't bring myself to eat raw fish, puke. Lightly cooked and its a whole new ball game. Cheers

Great squid there, it's a feed on its own.

Wow!!! A couple of top Jewies there Stew. Great work again. Cheers

Nicely done.

Excellent fishing session there by the looks of it. Well done guys.

Thanks Stewy.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and this was in Botany bay. Cheers

I went out this afternoon on my own for another quick session. I caught 2 Flatties, 60cm and 36cm respectively, and a couple of numb rays, that had me dancing around while trying to remove the hooks without getting zapped. The people on the beach must have been wondering what I was doing. One bloke walked up to have a look and asked me why I was releasing it and not eating it. I said to him your welcome to it, if you can pick it up. He looked at me weird and declined lol. Here's a pic of the larger of the two Flatties.

Thank you Donna.

Sorry about the angled pics, first time I've put a report from my phone. I can't seem to turn them around the right way up.
