Mabey docs should have a word to this chap.

Always said no to the georges after rain, perhaps I need to reconsider.
Congrats on the fish.

Hi,
I fish the botany bay usually once every week, and have found that the fishing for some species in the rain is better, however the majority go off the bite. Do you also have the same problem or do you have an explaination?
cheers,

go to the end of container wall and fish with livies for kings or try the oilwarf, third runnway, drums, molipoint, they are everywere.

Mate big Flatties and jews are also in the bay, even some bigger reds have been caught
Thanks for the replies, just got back from a hunting trip.
Nectic
Ive found where in the bay the reds hang out but can't manage any over 30cm, mabbey i need to buy a fishfinder. The flatthead on the other hand I might need some pointers from robeebee he seems to have nutted them out.
Mondo
I think your right I got to get a bigger boat and chase some fin, however I have fluked a few 10kg+ gummy's in the bay.

I hear what youre saying, but the only interest i have is not the challenge of the fight, but the challenge of the size of the fish. I have caught kingys on my bream rod and yes harder to catch but at the end of the day still a kingy.
Huntman
Kingys would have to be the most prolific feeder in and around the bay I have caught them using plastic, any fish that would try to eat plastic would eat anything I rekon. Ask jewgaffer how easy they are to target.
robeebee
I usually rig up my baitrunner 6500B with 25pound line, also my flickstick with 2500 stradic 30p braid. also with my pen overhead running 50pound line which I only rig up with big baits and tackle

Hi,
Just need some info on what big fish I can target other than Kingfish in botany bay. Im sick and tired of catching kings, I know that may sound unsual to some but to others they know what Im talking about,
please help.
cheers,

That should be some kind of record, catching 16kg kingfish and being towed around in a 13ft tinnie for 20 mins on 30lb braid. That amazing well done on a fantastic catch.

Hi all,
Went out on Sunday, mon, tue, wed caught over 26 kings @ 55-64 cm only 8 over 65cm, quesiton is does anybody know the dinamics of the school? How do I target just the big kings? where abouts are they swimming in the school?

Hi all,
Just wondering how do you get rid of seals hanging around the boat eating your catch?
Also is it leagal to kill them? or throw rocks at them to go away?
-
Ha ha ha, same here. I popped my kingy cherry at the hot water outlet on a 64 cm king and me and my mate lost our s$%T. The way we were carrying on you would have thaought we just landed a 1m hood!!!!!!
What lures did you hook them on??? ive never caught one on a lure yet.... not from lack of trying though!
sorry should clarify, never caught one on a hard body lure!
I used a red and white rapala.
-
The funny thing was when I landed the first one it was the 78cm king, I just started woo hooing and shouting as I was over the moon I just could'nt stop smiling all day.

Hi,
Organised to go out with a fellow fishraider but it fell through. Anyway decided to go by myself Got on the water at 8:00am and headed straight to the drums to land 9 trevally's to 39cm and 2 yakka's. The weather was nice so I decided to head out of the heads but as soon as I headed out the wind and swell picked up so I trolled back to the bay picking up 4 Kings to 78cm, got heaps of hook ups but could'nt land them by myself.
I beached the boat at ramsgate beach to clean them and had at 2 people trying to by my catch. But I ended up going over my mates place with the family and His wife cooked them up on the bbq wilst we got stuck into Jim beam.

Congrats, on your first Kingy and many more to come

Nice flattie, cograts on PB

Hi,
Keep in mind that I am not trying to change your opinion on this fish but only sharing what little knowledge I have on this local.
Sorry not getting back to you earlier in regards to my salmon prep.
Any way here it is:
Salmon has a naturally strong flavor and has firm flesh this in mind you can utilise it to your advantage, the trouble with most people is that they try to use it in recipes that a suited to bland / lightly flavoured fish.
1.Catch fish
2.Bleed fish by kniffing its gills, try not to kill it immediatly as the whole purpose is to keep its heart pumping.
3.Put on ice
4.Gut, Fillet, Skin, Debone
5.Cut off red meat if you dont like strong flavour
6.Leave in fridge for 2-3days keeping it out of its juices
Use any recipe that you like keep in mind that it goes best with sweet or spicy recipe.
Asian or Indian recipe's are best.
enjoy
