Botany Bay 21/2/06

[Penguin]

Hi raiders,

Fished the bay Tues 21st with my 2 regular fishing

buddys Bill and George.Started off at Molli pt and

got zilch,small jackets were everywhere and attackin

any thing we lowered into the water including

soft plastics,takin little bite size chunks out of em.

They were like Pirahnas.

We moved to our fav spot near the 3rd runway and

within 2mins I had a 28cm Bream on board.5 mins later

Im onto a king as I get him to the boat,I look ova my

shoulder and Fisheries have pulled up alongside us ,and

ping my line snaps.

After a quick check of our licences,and being told u dont

catch Kings on prawns they were off.All was quite 4 about

half an hr when,zzzzzzzz George is on he calls it a King then,

zzzzzzz im on,I call it a King also.Bill is running around

pullin in the other rods and trying to avoid us.George lands

a 58cm King and 5 mins later I land a 65cm specimen,both

caught on peeled prawns.Smaller King is released,ova the

next hour we landed 3 more Bream (28-37cm)and 8 Trevors

(28-39cm)and this weird lookin long (75cm)fish,sum1 said is

called a Long Tom.Bite went off then we went hm.

Tight lines

hey great report guy's.

will definitely try peeled prawns with kings, we were doing well with live nippers on the run in port hacking but mainly bream no kings....worth a try sounds like it works in the bay..cheers WD

Hi mate

Peeled prawns have worked for us,no sinker only a swivel and 4-6kg line

on a small rod,our other rods with sinkers cought not a thing.make sure u

berley well and back off your drag and slowly let out line to keep it drifting

naturaly in the current.

Maybe you have a better way but this seems to work for me.

I'll try again 2moro to post pics.

Good luck on your next fishin trip.

Thanks again.
