I would of loved to fish it in those days mate.It was a good day out for many as from what I saw we all got onto some fish for a change. My sons 22 yrs old.I think he's worn out because he only got 7hrs sleep instead of his 8-12.I remember when I was 22 I was lucky to get 8-12 hrs sleep every 2-3 days at times.But I'll give him one thing,he managed to catch most the fish today fishing like that.lol.

Try posting in fishing chat and using the search function above as plenty here fish Botany Bay. Welcome aboard.

By the way,has anyone tried this new fishing technique?It looks the goods as my son outfished my wife and myself today and still bragging.Looks like it uses low amounts of energy.lol.

Thanks mate,we had a great time like usual. It was today. Your not wrong.You could use a frozen one as a baseball bat! Thanks Tara.There where plenty of family's sharing the day out there with their kids having a great time which was great to see.My favourite was a little girl fishing with her parents saying "Look daddy,I got a fish"then the mother would say "it's bigger than daddy's isn't it"and the little girl would say,"yep" each time she caught a fish which went on for ages.I could read the fathers thoughts from my boat.lol.But he went along with it.

Thanks for reading.

Hit Windang early this morning armed with a variety of baits with the wife and son to be greeted by a glorious day out on the water.We tried fishing the channels along the islands to be plagued by massive schools of mullet everywhere and other than my son landing a small tailor around the mid 20,s not much else on the drift there. After a discussion earlier last night with another raider we decided to head upstream to the drop off to try drifting for flathead/whiting.Within minutes my son lands the first casualty,a flathead around 30cm or so on a whole prawn. From there on in it was hook up after hookup and quite frantic at times with 3 fish on at once in a small boat juggling rods,bait and tripping over each other that I was kept quite busy being the fish netter,bait passer etc. Overall we must have landed around 25 flathead,around 6-7 whiting and 2 good sized squid that had a appetite for prawn on a #1 hook. I tried to get a few snaps on my phone amongst all the fuss. We could not have asked for a better day both in the weather,the fishing and family time. We kept 2 legal Flatty and 4 whiting for dinner the rest went back to live another day. Plenty of other boats enjoying the weather also. Cheers.

A friend had this blow out that took out his guard like a grenade in the process.Timely reminder to keep an eye on those tyre pressures and condition of your tyres guys.

Well said mate.I certainly have noticed the same thing.It certainly must be encouraging for Donna and Stewy to see also.Keep up the posts guys as I certainly enjoy reading all your posts too. cheers.

Great report and all round feed there.Well done!Yowie will have less fish to catch in the hacking now. Cheers.

I have a spare room to boot her out to for that fellas.

That's one extensive list you have there mate.And I agree you can't beat live or fresh anything.Just saw one of the fishing gurus mentioning the squid tubes that's all.

Just a quick one.Those fish shop squid tubes,do they make decent strip baits?Any one use/used them before? Thanks.

If your ears are sensitive to the wind now,there's no harm in wearing the earplugs or even a set of ear muffs.I myself have lost a fair bit of hearing over the years and have similar ear discomfort at times.I blame industrial deafness,the mrs nagging and loud music as a youth that didn't know better. I've had hearing tests every year at work and it's incredible how much your hearing declines once you go past the age of 30-35. My advice is to wear some form of hearing protection when your vulnerable to the noise and hearing discomfort. I always wear ear plugs when at work,mowing,using power tools etc. I always wear earplugs as soon as the mrs begins to nag and as it becomes constant nagging I then put ear muffs over the top as the plugs just can't cope.lol. Ps My boat doesn't go fast enough to warrant wearing earplugs. Look after what hearing you have left mate. Fab1.

I don't blame him.

Old Murphy wasn't on your side at all mate.My hat goes off to you for persisting and it certainly beats doing anything else especially work. Cheers.

I think you could fish right beside Yowie and he'll still catch all the fish.

Well done once again mate.You catch more in one session than what most people that fish the river catch in several.

How many times if we're honest have we towed when tired?You know how it goes,too many beverages the night before,late nights,the baby keeping us up etc,etc. These guys could have easily killed themselves or others around them. I can honestly say that there's been a few times that I have woken up to go fishing and haven't felt the best for various reasons and have aborted the mission as I'm the only driver.Can you? Food for thought isn't it.

What where they thinking?It never ceases to amaze me the stupidity of some people.My biggest worry is anyone can buy a boat and head out to sea these days with very little to nil experience under their belt. The same goes to buying a boat and rocking up to pick it up and simply hitching it up and driving off without any regard given to weight distribution,tow bar down weight,towing experience etc.Some people shouldn't drive a car let alone tow a boat from what I've seen.Hope the boaters where ok in the end.

Hi mate,the Bp on Heathcote Rd the WindyBanks chicken gut.I bought some on Sunday night. Cheers.

Well done!Great report.Looks like you've got the brain spiking down pat. Cheers.

No need to worry about trailer security.

Well done and great report.I fished the rising tide from around 6pm-midnight last night for a couple of bream and a few whiting with the family.We fished up from grays,Lilly Pilly and Yowie bay for the fish with plenty of small reds,bream,tailor thrown in.I got busted of by something with good weight and so did my wife at one point.A few people where out which surprised me but I guess it's the long weekend. I had pillys,Banana prawns,chicken,and strip baits but all fish caught where on the prawns.

Congrats on your first plastic caught Flathead.Im guessing it is very busy on the lake?Im thinking of having a crack there or down greenwell point in the next day or so.

Stay safe everyone.
