That is an awesome tale and well done on cracking the metre. The other runs must have had your heads spinning! My son showed me your video after catching the beast. Going to the effort of catching fresh bait was all worth it! Smiles say it all!

Great work on the quick session Bruce!

A delightful bag Yowie! Well deserved in the cool of the morning:)

Great work on the local catch Yowie! A nice feed, a nice release and a trip to look forward to👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome work as usual Pickles 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Beach fish of a lifetime.....congratulations🤪

Top looking hoods there! Congrats to all!

Nice local Red!

Love the knife work on the sashimi! Nice catch:)

Nice reddies there Yowie....imagine the size of the flathead that would inhale one of those mullet being bounced along the bottom😉

Great fish there guys...the smiles say it all😉

Horse of a bream! Must be very satisfying to pull that sort of fish from the built up areas!

Thanks Jamo! Water has cleared up and there seems to be bait everywhere...the birds are busy! Yowie, always nice to take a feed home after releasing a big fish:) Cheers Hucho! Thanks! It was good to get two good fish within the first half hour Zoran! Cheers Rebel! Killer, I caught alot more fish in the kayak overall.....I'm a bit spoilt now and shoot from spot to spot if the first 20 minutes is dead, with the kayak I fished harder in the one area;)

Collected some poddies yesterday afternoon for an early start in Botany Bay today. Hit the water just on low tide and stopped at a reliable drop off to send a couple of poddies down. Within 5 minutes one rod goes off and I grab it thinking it might be a flatty as the take wasn't that spectacular. The fish comes up quickly to the surface and I seen a yellow tail as it sees me then takes off with a few bullying runs into whatever structure was around. Soon after I had the king in the net and bang on 65cm so she was dispatched and iced up asap. Just as I was getting re-rigged a Maritime rib came over and disappeared soon after. He came back a few minutes later and I grabbed one of the rods to let him come alongside the boat but I was on again. This fish had a bit of go and I thought it may have been another king but soon enough a light brown flash signalled a decent flatty. The maritime rib dropped back and gave me some space to land the fish and I netted it without drama and called him over. The guy was very obliging and took some happy snaps of the fish and videoed the release for me. He checked my fire extinguisher and advised me to service or replace it, prompted by the recent serious boat fires that have caused havoc for some. There were birds working and boils all around as kings or salmon were smashing bait schools. Another suspected king smashed one of my livies soon after and I moved on to another spot up the Georges and picked up a nice bream in the mid 30s and a flatty in the 40s in deep water, both on poddies. Beautiful conditions and a nice way to spend a Sunday morning. I'll upload the release to youtube later this week:)

Everything perfect except the expected fish turning up:) Nice day out regardless😃

Fantastic post and some amazing feedback and advice provided. Take the advice given and follow your dream on this one!! Nothing better than turning your hobby into a career. BTW awesome mullet on the light gear....I try to find the 10-15cm models for bait:)

Nice work there! great feed👌

Magic pics and post Scratchie. Even better to have your son get a trophy fish. I wish I could get mine off the computer to join me for a bash!

Yowie I don't think I've ever seen a post of yours with only one species present😄 Great work again and enjoy those fillets:)

Awesome haul!!

Cracking post and great fish!

To good health and nice fillets:)

Awesome feed! Great weather...doesn't get much better:)

Great work Pickles! Your catch will be worth a fortune!😁 Would have been a magical day on the briny:) How far out is that sort of depth up your way?

Nice work Bob. It sounds like you may have saved a life here! Good for us boat ISS to read reports like this as it helps us prepare for when things go wrong and we may need to provide assistance.
