Hey Garry,
I'm thinking of joining St George. Is there always trailer parking available or can it get a bit busy sometimes too?
Cheers,
Bill.
Most times there is no waiting ,sometimes if there is a fishing comp on you may have to wait a few minutes ,but considering you can clean your fish wash your boat I think it's all good . If you would like to have a look around the club I would happy to show it to you, that goes for other Raiders also, pm me. Cheers Garry

Hi Raider,
What a busy day at the bay, no parking from 8 am at fore shore ramp, end up launching boat at cooks river ramp and walk 10 min for parking,
Pretty slow day, plenty boat in the bay, we end up with a nice feed of calamari only, cant find any yellowtail at all. saw a lot of dolphin at Kurnell.
Went back to ramp after lunch and waited for 20 min to retrieve boat,
Very frustrating when two well built bloke drive straight to ramp, reverse trailer down and start to unpack which took 10 minute, then stay still to talk on phone for another five in the ramp and hold other up.
I don't understand some people is so inconsiderate of other ( note that they had children with them so good luck to their child growing up to be nice people), No one confront these two so I kelp my mouth shut too
Week end fishing and boat ramps are a pain this time of the year I am a member of St.George & Sutherland Shire Anglers Club which have there own boat ramp, fish cleaning tables toilets and secure parking and lots more if you more info check the website www.stgeorgeanglers.org.au or pm me cheers Garry

Right! missed that part... My bad hah
No mate I was drifting it was caught on a 5inch jerk shad in Camo with a 3/8 jighead with a7lb mono leader 8lb fireline

Fished the Bay yesterday first time for a while lures only, started slow till about halfway into the run out tide then the Tailor moved in and there are some big ones out there [out the front of Coles at Ramsgate] so after donating six or seven jerk shads I moved to the Kernel side of the bay where I managed a few small Flathead a flounder and some small snapper, Just before the turn of the tide I moved to a favourite spot near the Kurnell boat ramp caught a few small flathead and was beginning to think that was it for the day when I got a very solid hook up lots of head shakes big solid runs it was a bit tricky as I was in the middle of a bunch crab traps anyway got clear of them and got it to the boat and after a couple of nervy shots with the net it was in the boat ,the top of the fish box is 65cm so I think it was easy 70cm anyway it was a good end to the day and good to see there are still some good fish in the Bay
-
Good to see you out there having go, the Bay is bit hot and cold at the moment
Cheers Garry

Nice King Congrats, I have to ask what is the ROD and REEL combo you have in that picture?
The rod is a okuma salina // jig 24kg ,the reel is a diawa saltist 4500 loaded with 60lb power pro braid and a 80lb wind leader

First hit out for Kings this year tried for squid early but usual no luck ,went to Moll point and got 10 yakkas in 15 minutes,tryed a couple of spots inside the Bay but all was quite ,hit little reef just outside the mouth of the Bay and bingo got a big hit on the first pass ,after some fancy boat work I managed to get him out into some deep water and after a few big strong runs I got him in the boat ,he went just over 90cm ,did few more runs over the same spot lost 2 yakkas but did not hook up ,will have another try later in the week if the weather is ok
Cheers Garry

GREAT READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn't ask for a better day weather was just perfect with no wind but a big rolling swell outside the heads of around 3 mtrs. Livies were hard to come by and couldn't find a patch of bait that would eat so stuck to using bait. Mol/point was dead few small snapper being caught but that's about it. Then headed near the oil wharf and same there as well. Water has dropped even more down to 17.5oC in some parts so headed outside where the water was warmer but even there was quiet
. Called it a day so headed home. All in all a dead day!! Yes mate I can relate to that ,tried for kings around the mouth of the Bay got bugger all, the bait schools seem to have gone, spent 2 hours at Moll Point the only excitment was a vist from the water police ,it could be the full moon???????????????????

That's an awesome king buster! Well done! I was out there today also, but all i managed were rats, a whole heap of them! A bit dissapointed after a couple weeks of legals. If you don't mind me asking, what time did u get the kings?
Between 8am & 10am
Cheers Garry

Do you rate it?
Yes mate it is 24kg model ,I was useing 50lb braid with a 80lb windon leader ,the rod worked great

Well after months of trying for a metre plus king in Botany Bay I finally cracked it, today the first fish I landed today was a 67cm model not was I was after back he went, then 2 major bust offs, then another big hit this time instead of going for the reef he went open water and after torrid struggle and some pretty ordinary gaff shots he was in the boat, I still think there are some bigger fish there but as the water I getting colder I don’t know for how long ????????????

Went to Molineux Point to chase kings today got some yakkas at the end of the wall and moved back up to the point set the yakkas out then cast out a couple bream rods with pilchard heads on 1.0 hooks lost 4 yakkas but no hook ups managed a Bonito on the pilchard but nothing else, as my mate bringing in his he saw a King right behind his bait but it would not hit it so I dropped my pillie down beside it and bingo away it went and went at least 100 yards of 8LB fireline before it slowed and then went again my mate quickly got the anchor in and we chased it ,by now I am thinking this is a good king and I was right about 20 minutes later we landed a 83cm King, my raider bream rod and 2500 stella and 8LB line and 10LB leader had really hung in there, but my right arm was a bit ordinary, By now the westerly was really blowing so we called it a day

Went to chase Kings in the bay last Saturday got 10 yellowtail in quick time at Moll Point there was some big bait school showing on the sounder so I trolled slowly around them first 2 passes nothing 3pass bingo big hit very strong fish I could feel the leader dragging on the rocks but it held I was using 80lb leader and 50 lb braid, after good fight I got him into the boat he just under 80cm and in very good condition ,next pass got a smaller fish about 70cm ,so I stopped trolling and just dropped straight down into the bait balls got done on the rocks by 2 fish I could not stop so I called it a day ,
But the Bay is still fishing good
. Called it a day so headed home. All in all a dead day!! 
NEVER EVER , EVER TAKE YOUR WIFE FISHING!!!!!
