[Internet ruins the fishery]

Commercial Fishing ruins recreational fishing ......

Recreational fisherman are a drop in the ocean in comparison to commercial fishing.. (pardon the pun)...

Amazing thread, speechless TBH..

Thank you to all that have contributed their trade secrets..

I have never caught a Jewfish, but I now feel as though nothing is stoping me except for time and effort ...

[Botany Bay Sunday]

I was out there Sunday too, with the forcast supposedly 2.6m swell I was planning to fish for squid.

Instead I peered out at the heads and accidentally ended up at the peak.

I think the weatherman had the forcast backwards!

Botany is hard for squid, I never do well there - here's where I go though.

1 - Back the boat right up close to the rocks. burley hard and you'll be plagued with yakkas.

2 - Pull in next to the walkway and drift out to the middle, its deep here but it holds some squid.

3 - Between 4 and 6m of water through here, drift along and you'll cover some large weedy areas - you can go a bit further around the rocky areas to the east too. Just be careful of the rocks.

I've heard of people doing well to the east of #3, other side of the oil wharf. Never tried there though.

Thanks heaps any advice is great .. and at least that's a starting point

Hi Raiders

I'm from Liverpool area in Sydney's west and I love fishing .. unfortunately for the better part of a decade its had to take a back seat to life... But I just picked up a side console from the Sunshine Coast (sh!t drive when your by yourself) its a Clark 515 dominator 2014 with a 90 Merc 4 stroke .. its got a lowrance Elite 7 chirp and a humming bird 798.. its a great boat and I cant wait to set some PB's on it .. Botany and Port Hacking are the places I will be hitting most but Pittwater Hawkesbury and Brisbane waters will get a run also ..

I must admit I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to sounders and how to use them to full affect .. any advice on where I could learn about them ??

Cheers and happy fishing

Hi Guys

My first post on here, I just bought a side console and I intend on hitting up botany a lot in the coming months.. I was just wondering if I could get some advice on where I can find the livebait grounds in the bay, preferably squid.
