Botany Bay 9/5/06

Recommended Posts

Hi fellow raiders,

My mate Bill and I fished Botany Bay today,launched boat at Penrhyn ramp 7am,

tried the Sticks for no fish,tried the oil wharf,no fish.Went ova to airport runway

just on 8.30,ran into Crazy John there with our mate Mark ,they had been there

since 6am for zilch.We anchored 20mtres to one side of them and proceeded to

burley in tandem,almost emmediatly both boats started to land Trevors one after

another with the odd Bream thrown in for good measure,30 mins of this and we

start to see Kings following our baits to the boats,then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bills rod goes off and 10 mins later he lands his 1st King for the day.For the next

3hrs we continued to land Trevors,Bream,Taylor and 7 kings.We all got busted

off on many,many occasions,either by being wrapped around anchor ropes,

bouys or by the sheer power some of these Kings possesed.I think we only

managed to land the small ones,bcoz we saw some monsters 80cm plus,and

from what I saw there were several bust offs on Crazy Johns boat,with some

Kings landed.I tried heavier line,but nothing would touch it,so back to the 6kg

mono and bang,another King on my 1st cast.

Current changed direction,and the bite slowed rite down,only Trevors were being

caught and we got sick of catchin em and turfin em back in,so Bill and I called

it a day,and left Crazy John and Mark out there.

All Kings hooked on peeled prawns and some on Pillie tails.

Kings landed went from 62-73cm

Was windy most of the day,and freezing in

the morning,we very nearly cancelled going out,

but Crazy John insisted we go out and join them.

Was a good move as it turned out.

That's the best catch I have seen out of the bay in a long time. Excellent effort. :thumbup:

Great to see the bay firing with good fish almost constantly now.

Can't wait to get out there myself. :1fishing1:

Great day. Well done on the kingies.
