I would really appreciate some insight to drifting with soft plastics Faker.

Thanks a lot for the info Krispy, not much different to what we do except fresh prawns sounds the go, so will just keep trying CYA Buddy

Hey Krispy, Great catch there, I have been trying for a catch like that in the Bay for 2yrs now. What was the killer bait and tide time and depth, if you don't mind me asking. Cheers Larry

Hard work paid off with the fishing and the awesome video, Thanks for the insight buddy. Cheers Larry

thanks Gazza for the info I will try that drift out Thursday Cheers Larry

Not sure of the runway numbers but it was the furtherest from the foreshore Rd ramp. About 15mts out from the yellow bouys on the eastern corner.

Cheers Scratchie I am still giggling like a little girl

Great read Scratchie and good on your young fella handling the crappy conditions. What sort of boat do you have? Cheers Larry

Well done buddy that must of been fun on light gear.

Hey Guys and Gals, This is probably my first actual fishing report, as I do not usually catch anything noteworthy. The missus and I headed off from Parramatta to Botany at 05:00 Thursday 14/11/13. Traffic was flowing great. We hit the water at 06:00. Beautiful clear day but the south westerly wind was a lot stronger than was forecast and the bay was quite choppy. Tried anchoring using plenty of berley between the dredge and the wharf. Fished there for about an hour without any fair dinkum bites. So we headed off to the front of the 2nd runway to try a drift for a flathead. The wind seemed to die down at the top of the tide allowing us to drift at .6 knots. At about 07:20 my Terez rod bent over and my Shimano Thunnus 4000 baitrunner started unloading braid real fast. After a good fight up came my PB 75cm Lizard. I was using a running ball sinker with a 1.5 meter 14lb trace with a fresh medium size green prawn bought from seafood shop at Parramatta Westfield. The missus took a few proud happy snaps and we let the big girl go. Tried drifting for the next hour or so and nearly brought in another lizard about 60cm but she bit through the trace. The drift got up to about 1.6 knots by 08:30 so we called it quits. Cheers Larrry +

Awesome video and report buddy. Looks hard work on your own. Cheers Larry

Count me in for a DIY. Love your float making ideas guys. Cheers Larry
