Penguin Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) Hi raiders, Fished Botany Bay Tues,went to 3rd runway(5.30am) we boated 2 bream to 32cm,2 trevs to 38cm,1 flatty 42cm 1 flounder 32cm,then the slimeys moved in and we were gettin hammered on every bait we had non stop for 20mins,then I saw a huge silver flash go by under the boat as the slimeys bolted out of there.Then my big rod which had a whole squid on it bends as the reel starts to scream,and throws out 30lb mono at an alarming pace,I grab the rod set the hook and this fish is still goin and goin,I tighten the drag a bit more and he stops after taking a good 80 mtrs of line,I get about 20 mtrs of line back,then hes off again hard left, and straight to the yellow marker bouy,I feel my line rub hard on something then the enevitable,ping,he busts me off .Crazy John in the boat beside us cant help but laugh at my situation. I re rig but nothing ever touched that rod again all morn.We caught 2 more bream to 35cm,1 trev and a s__t load of slimeys that would not go away and let us fish for something desent. so we called it a day. Cheers penguin. Edited April 12, 2006 by penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Sounds like a good day out on the bay mate at least you caught a decent feed. Better luck next time landing the monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattieman Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm glad the Third Runway fished well for you, penguin. Sounds like a similar day to mine. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
