Hey Datwins, If your still interested to learn to fish for other fish types, I'm happy to show you some of my skills that I have experienced when I fished the bay with my boat. Cheers Triton

Got out on the bay at 6am today & straight into getting some live bait, yellow tails. Set 2 rods with live bait & dropped them low, not even a minute one rod starts screaming, after a 5 minutes battle a nice King was on board, measuring at 70cm , also another 5 rats caught & released. After that moved on by drifting & caught a Bonito & Travely. Back at ramp at 10:30am, a bit of a slow day today but geeee so many boats out on the bay today, I don’t think I’ve seen so many. Cheers Triton.

Rafinx, mate that would be great. Let me know when your back on water & I'm keen to come out. Cheers Triton

Hi All, I'm interested in hiring a fishing boat & would like to know if anyone interested in splitting the cost. Would be Ok with 2 members but better that we get at least 4 keen fisho's, lowers our cost. I know that notice is short, but would like to get out on the water 2moro or Saturday, offcourse that's if a boat is available for hire. Places for fishing; Botany Bay, Harbour or Port Hacking. I'm dying to get out there for some fishing, but lacking a boat to do so, sold my boat about 2 years ago, big mistake I made. Or if anyone is interested in getting me on board their boat for company & a fish session, please let me know. We can split to cost or even better I'll pay for fuel & bait. Cheers Triton (Gaza )

Hi Brian, I used to own a boat the past 5 years & was fishing always the bay, so have a fair bit of knowledge of the bay. My boat was sold last year & looking at getting another one this year. I would be happy to come out with you & show you some of the fishing spots I’ve had success. Send me a PM if you’re interested taking me on board. Cheers Triton

Yes, it can be dangerous falling in those deep holes, but I don’t think it’s as bad as going rock fishing with huge waves smashing nearby. All you need to make sure is that you have a good pair of grip shoes, be light with your fishing gear and balance. I don’t recommend it for young kids & make sure there is another person with you. I recommend you check the place out before fishing & see if it’s a place for you to fish. Cheers Triton

Thanks Peter. The gear I used was an Okuma Reel / 8 Foot Ugly stick rod, 20lb line, sluggo's (white), no leader with a size 2 ball sinker. Botany Bay seems to be on fire with bait fish feeding, allot of fish appearing on top of water. Camera is now charged & in my fishing bag, all ready. Now just need to pick a day to get out there. Cheers Triton

Hi All, I'm new to forum & my first fishing report. Yep, I can tell ya that those King's are out there for sure. Yesterday morning I went fishing at Yarra Bay (Prince of Wales Drive, Port Botany) landbased from the concrete pylons. I was flicking plastic slagos & landed 2 Kingies , one measuring 68cm & the other a rat at 55cm, both released. Have hooked Kingies from a boat but yesterday was my first experience caught from landbase , only disadvantage is that they try to cut your line when heading towards a sharp rock, so need have a tuff line setup. Sadly I did not take my camera with me to take any photo's, but will be back these days at same spot to try once again & hopefully hook another nice King to take that great photo. Cheers Triton
