stevo&beth Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) First of all just want to say what a fantastic site this is !! secondly sorry about the late post but here goes...headed out to botany bay on saturday morning 23/1 at 4am. fished under Tom Ugly's bridge for nothing !! Moved to Captain Cook bridge after an hour or so for the same result. decided to drift from Doll's Point back towards Cpt Cook. first cast-nice bream-29cm my personal best. Yeehaa!! next cast...baby hammerhead shark . are they common in the bay ? this one measured in at 45cm. spent the next 2.5 hours drifting near the bridge for a few undersize bream & snapper. all in all not a bad day out. (just good to be on the water) p.s still trying to work out how to post pics!! Edited January 23, 2007 by steve-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
