Haha man yeah ive lost an anchor there aswell but we anchored more around the side of the point (as you can see in my video), in the channel (20mtrs). I find anchoring right off the point does the anchor damage

yeah thats my paranoid dad lol

hey Formosan, I was there with my son when u guys where cleaning your beastly catch and i must say ive been fishing the bay about 2 years and ive never seen any one at all with such a great catch of kingzz . I have a question for you guys multiple choice 1# is that your best catch at Botany 2# is that an average catch at Botany 3# is that a poor catch at Botany you guys certainly know your kings also so close to ur PB wow

Went out on saturday 9th march got out on the water and 5am, went straight to squid grounds wasted a quater of a day chasing squid and only managed one, Went to the live bait spot (yakkas) near the tugs spent 30 minutes there caught 8 solid yakkas and a 50cm Flathead. Started trolling up and down the northhead on the first troll caught the bonny with plenty of action down deep and in the top to middle water column. After another 40 mins trolling with no luck and regretting not having the right size sinker bomb for our Downrigger went back to mollineaux point and anchored up after 15 minutes we were on. A nice Jew fish surfaces after issues with the gaff we finally got it in. Here's the video of our day

Hey man im eager and waiting to see this video . Still amazed at that 107cm king

great to hear

bloody beaut catch

i was out there as well but i didnt have as much luck as you did with the squid, but when the southerley hit we where the first back to the ramp and by the time i washed the boat down it was like pitt street out there COMPLETE CHAOS ..... but gotta say great squid any tips you want to share

congratz on the new motor it looks terrific and a good flatty to celebrate

brilliant read congratz

some people have all the luck looks like a great feed and nice post

hey man great fish where did you get the jewwy from

yes maybe they did flip on the bommie, it was a bit rough maybe 10-15 knot easterly, i know that when i saw the guys on the police launch heading back too the ramp the 3 guys were not wearing any life jackets and the guy who done a great job putting out the mayday call and giving botany bay rescue all the info he did say it was too risky for him to try and rescue them, maybe they where too close too the rocks. I forgot to mention the second boat on the scene was the big dive boat that launches from foreshore ramp and they had about 10 guys all suited up for diving on board, they may have assisted in some way

Hi i was fishing at trev alley today when i heard a mayday call about 1030am, about a boat capsizing between bare island and north botany head. apparently it had 3 people on board , they managed to scramble on top of their vessell to await rescue. it was interesting to hear botany bay rescue in action over the radio and it didnt take long too see the 3 police lauches at high speed come to their aid they also had a rescue chopper for assistance. These guys are lifesavers . Did anyone else hear about this or have any more information they can share ?

good to hear you caught something to take home eg flatties, and as for the morons just give them the good old one finger salute

great report and good too see the whiting are around.

great king and the sushimi looks appertising any chance a pm with the location cheers

Went for a fish on Thursday with my 16year old son, we started at 5 am and our plan of attack was to get some live squid and try to break our kingfish virginity. We headed over to Kurnell near the groynes and flicked a few yo zuris around the weed beds we managed 5 squid in total 3 were too big for bait and 2 great bait sized squid. They say persistence pays off but after 3 hours of squiding we had enough and needed a change of pace. We baited up with one live squid and a dead and basically slow trolled the bay around the drums, mollineaux and up and down the channel, i couldn’t find any sign of kings on the sounder and also noticed there was not a great amount of bait schools either, so after doing the slow troll for maybe an hour with no luck except being smashed by small leathers we went in the channel and drifted from Molineaux point back to the third runway trying some more squid down deeper when my sons rod started to go up and down so we waited with excitement then nothing, all went still so he waited about 5 mins and still nothing so let’s inspect the squid and see what was left of it. As soon as he started to wind the rod went tight and he was on to a heavy weight which we both thought might have been a ray until the headshakes started we realized it was a flathead, she put up a good fight with a few deep runs she went 90cm nice solid fish. We got her in the boat and took some good pics as fast as we could then let her go to fight another day. My son was over the moon ill never hear the end of it as he now has caught the biggest flathead in our boat ill have to do better next time. catch and release video of squid and the flathead below

nice catch looks like a good feed

thanks ill give the unweighted prawns a go

Hi the weather is looking good on sunday for a day out in Botany Bay i was wondering if the king tides are good for the bite or not. i am hoping to fish both change of tides from 330am till maybe after 2pm , fishing the low and high. Any thoughts guys

better than nothing, what river?

great report squid your doing a lot better than i am , i was wondering why you butterflied your livies( is that cutting them open) Also do they work better than putting the yakka out alive ? sorry for sounding dumb im just trying to get some tips and tricks all info helps cheers

great report but too bad about the weather you certainly gave it a good try

great report and pics a bit of a worry about the chippo fish with the scabs, maybe polution related
