Botany Bay 13/3/06 Monday

[BUSTER 1]

Went for a fish in the Bay this morning bit of a late start ,well late

For me about 7/30, the plan was to have a fish for bream earley and

Spin for flathead later on ,got to the bream spot around 8/am ,thought

It was probably a bit late and the bait I had was a bit ordinary some old

Prawns and salted stripey and some pretty good pilchards ,the prawns

And stripey got no interest at all .But the pilly tail got smashed straightaway

I thought it was a good bream but turned out to be a nice snapper [33cm] put

Out another pilly bang another snapper after that things went a bit quite so I

Flicked out s/p two turns of the reel and bingo solid hit ,I felt head shacking

Thought it might be a big trevally turns out to be a rat king under sized of

Course [check photo he has broken 1/0 hook in his gill] any way back to the

Snapper got 3 or 4 solid hit but no hook ups ,set the baits again a flick out a s/p

It gets hammered bigger fish than last time big jump it’s sambo and bust off

,next the snapper rod goes off and another nice snapper comes in just Finnish

unhooking him when the other rod goes off and snapper number 4 comes in

after that things went quite so started flicking out s/p’s 3or 4 casts and bang

solid hookup another sambo 3 big jumps and 5 minutes later he is in the boat

quick photo and he is on his way ,after that it went dead so time for plan B

spin for flathead , not to confidant as the last few outings have not been very

successful ,tried a couple of spots no luck went over to Bonner Point the wind

had dropped to nothing and the drift was slow ,after a couple of drifts with

the dreaded bass minnow and a very slow retrieve I managed to snag 3 reasonable

flattys. By this time it was midday and very hot so I called it a day

The snapper went 32cm to 35 cm not bad for the Bay the salmon 65cm

Now I know why I couldn't get you on the mobile yesterday; you were to busy catching fish . After the past few efforts you must be pretty happy with a good feed of snapper & flatties lets hope they are around for the bay social

Well done mate, nice bag of fish - nothing sweeter then tender snapper meat with some chips and salad!
