Kept an eye on Seabreeze to nail a session in light winds and hit the bay Friday morning at a gentlemanly hour and collected some prime poddies before heading out to try a few new spots and tactics. Pedalled the yak into the tide for about an hour and lost a few livies to tailor on the chew. Heading over to the other side of the bay and prospected around the weed beds in about 10ft of water. Came up trumps with a couple of flatties around 50cm then headed up with the tide before nailing a couple more, including a 60cm model released. Scored a nice whiting on a blade and an arrow squid on a soft vibe. Pleasant day out and back on shore around 1pm with a feed to take home:) I've trialed my new GoPro to take a few videos so excuse the amatuer finish. Just devoured a tempura battered seafood platter tonight as a result😋

Well done Stewy, good to get a decent legal one amongst all the rats!!

Awesome session Dave with delicious results!!

Great PB bycatch! Well done on the release and enjoy the crabs!

Great work on picking up the croc second time around and well done on the release:)

Persistance pays off Scratchie!...congrats:)

Hey Corro and Yowie Yesterday I cuaght the squid on 5 different sized and coloured jigs....when they are on they are on! Normally I stick to pinks and orange in the 3-3.5 sizes. I landed a 70cm+ flattie on a squid jig a couple of years ago and as I netted it it opened its mouth and out popped the jig.....made for a nice mixed bag:)

I was eyeing off yesterday arvo with calm conditions for a bit of squidding in Botany Bay. Launched the yak in misty rain and a light southerly and prospected for an hour before I found some. Got 7 nice inkers over the next two hours and conditions were perfect. Had a 60+ flatty follow up a jig that was being retrieved to remove weed😨 A couple of double hookups in the mix too! Salt'n'pepper time!

Nice work!

Very nice work on a beautiful fat flatty!

Nice catch Yowie!

Great catch , info and video,,,,,well done!

Happy 2019...nice work!

Cracking whiting!

Sweet as! Were you wading the shallows or scooping in the deeper water?

Well deserved:)

Good to see you on a real fishing platform Scratchie😁 Nice catch and choice conditions!!

Amazing fish there, it's a great month to be on the water during the week and you sure have nailed it....very impressive!!

Cant you staple two together? Great numbers though...must have been a workout!

Best to do some research and find a shallow sandy area that holds poddies. Set you trap with only a few inches max of water over it...the poddies stay on the surface:)

What a fish and lucky it's on the east side of the bridge😏

Just bought a Miller inshore barra rod for my new stradic so won't be shopping for a while but I have a couple of beefy replacements that are one piece and long buts, not so good for the yak but should do the job:)

Great read....gets the blood pumping!!

Nice work and well done on the king!

Hit the river this morning at 7am to catch the middle of the run out with a few livies in search of a jew or flatty. Once I was set up I realised I left my lifejacket at home 😢 and after watching the previous night's news and realising the river would be full of cops on jetskis and maritime boats, I decided to ask one of the waterfront owners to borrow one for the day, which worked out well, thanks Rocky! Dropped my poddy trap in and prospected with a blade and a diver over the flats but things were pretty quiet. Came back to check the trap and found a few nice 120mm poddies and a few smaller ones so it was out to the spot and down with the baits. First drift saw one of the rods get some attention with some nervous twitches and the first bait had been kidnapped. Next drift saw a good bend in the rod and I was on with some good head shakes. Soon after a very fit and long flatty slipped into the net but a vertical launch and death roll somehow "high sticked" my rod and it was RIP T-Curve😱, this rod had accounted for some very good fish over the past 5 years including my metre jew a few weeks ago! I managed to lip grip the girl and slide her onto the hull of the yak before pedalling over for a release video. On the lie detector she just tipped 80cm and I slipped her back into the water for a nice release, including a bit of acrobatics through a branch in the water. Had another drift and a large poddie was mauled by what I think was a jew that grabbed it tentatively and let go leaving a crush mark and a fair few scales missing. The big westerly hit about midday and it was time to pack it in. Now for some rod shopping.😏
