ill be fishing Botany bay on friday, hopefully will find some kingies

small hammerheads are fairly common in the bay, ive caught 6 or 7 of them over the last few years

Botany bay is 80 foot deep in places

there was at least 15 boats anchored there yesterday morning, there was quite a few around the 3rd runway too

got on the water about 6:30am, fished molinaux point for about an hour and a half with no luck, managed to catch a few yakkas at the point. at 8am i went over to the third runway and started getting a few trevally on floating prawns, after about an hour the first live bait went off and produced a 61cm king, a couple of hours later we bagged another the same size. then went and drifted whitebait off brighton le sands in hope of getting a couple of flatties, no luck on the flatties so we headed home with the 2 kings and 12 trevally all over 30cms, we also threw back quite a few smaller trevs. was a good day out with great weather too. not a breath of wind until 12 o clock. only downer was a couple of rain showers at about 7am

at least you got a couple, im about to head down there now, ill put a report up tonight

thanks for reply Davy, was planning to fish moulinex pt anyway

ive got the haines 565R and the appears to be identical to the v17

can anyone recomend any good spots in botany to burley up and catch live yakkas? also does anyone know were there is some good weed beds to jig for squid?
