Great bag of fish Larkin

Nice bag Larkin was out the weekend before and could only manage a few $65 a kilo at the local fish market so you did well.

Great report and great photos

Nice fish Larkin looks like you had a great day.

Took my son Dylan and his mate fishing last weekend head down to the ramp at Gunnamatta bay early Sunday morning about 6 am to fine no parking as a few cars had taken spots reserved for trailers so we headed off for Kurnell to launch the boat westerly wind was expected to drop off later on in the day so I decided to head around to Bate Bay to have some drifts for a fed of flathead.We fished with soft plastics, After starting our first drift using the sea anchor to slow the drift each of the boys hooked into a couple of nice fish both got very excited about the start to the day just as l got the lines back in the water I noticed maritime head towards us.As they came boat side announcing it was a safety check we all had life jackets on so that was checked off the list as the gentleman rattled off the rest of safety list for fishing off shore v blanket, torch, horn, 2 litres of water for each person, flares, just read the expiry date out to me he asked as I looked for the date I found that they had just expired last month he informed me that I could be looking at a $250 fine but he would let me off as they had just expired but I would have to return to the river to fish after inform him I had launched at Kurnell he told me to go straight back to Botany Bay to fish.We got back to the Bay and had a few drifts for a couple of flounders boys had a great day and I was happy not to get a fine so fishraiders check them expiry date on our flares.

Thanks Larkin was just great to get out Thanks Yowie got them in about 40m was using wide gap with gulp lures think we should have changed to long sank hook think we dropped a couple like they were just mouthing the tail of the lure and missing the hook not sure was feeling some weight and it was like they just let it go. Thanks Rebel Think there was a few out there think we were using the wrong hooks we dropped a fe Thanks Isaac

Finally got to go for a fish on Sunday morning took the next door neighbour got a early start look like the wind might have dropped off over night was looking to head south but as we headed out just as the sun was coming up we were greeted by a lumpy sea and a strong wind decided to play it safe and hang around the Bate Bay and see what the wind would do using the sea anchor we were able to get the lures to the bottom first drift plenty of spikes and one nice blue spot and the wind had picked up spent the next few hours drifting across the Bay trying our best to keep the lures on the bottom catching plenty of spikes and a couple of flounders and two more blue spot keepers wasn’t the best day but the neighbour got a feed and it was better than going to work

I fished most of the creek from the mouth to the very back of it over 40 years ago with my brother we would spend about 6 weeks at Xmas filling our days in that creek it’s probably the reason I fish today some great memories

I have caught good whiting in the Bonville Creek just behind the caravan Park with yabbies years ago
