robeebee Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Where do i start ? Sunday 11.30 am arrived at tackle shop where my brother works picked up a pack of 2' gulp shrimp naturals (the gun bait at the moment on the Basin ) and a can of Ultrabite (to see if it was at all possible to outfish my brother ! ) any way we arrive at the ramp at about 1.45 pm and see a couple of blokes from the local fishing club they say all is quiet out there and my heart sinks on the water for 5 minutes and my brothers hooked up already , nice bream 5 minutes later a nice flattie is boated ( by my brother ) i start spraying everything with Ultrabite and finally after 45 mins i've got runs on the board a flat one around the 44 mark , the monkeys off my back. we change spots and look for some dirty, shallow ,weedy water and out come the poppers ( yes i sprayed them too LOL ) bang , i'm on and its a nice hard fight from a nice bream poppers in the shallows is now my favorite form of fishing we move again and get into a school of tailor smashing up the surface on goes a metal slice and every cast a fish, not monsters but s---loads of fun after about 4 and a half hours its dark and we call it quits for the day,time to clean some fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robeebee Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) Day 3 I've left out a shiteload of things in these posts , my head is still spinning at the amount of fish caught (i didn't take a lot of photos and we released most , plus my brothers freezer is full of fish ) on the water early again and my brother doesn't muck around, 5 minutes , big flattie then another good bream , oh well , it was fun to watch then it was tailor time again my brother got called into work so i headed off land based for a couple of hours Edited April 18, 2007 by robeebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robeebee Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 day 4 went out early this morning again as my brother was working at 9.00 am got some more bream , flatties and a founder Jeez don't those bream fight hard,i was using 6 pound fireline and flurocarbon leader I've never had so much fun in my life as these past few days , it all seems surreal now we must have caught at least 30 fish a day (lots of tailor ) but lots of action all fish caught on either gulp , soft plastics , poppers and metals back in the real world now and i hope i can replicate these sort of days on Botany Bay till next time have fun ( i will ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkles Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hey Robeebee, great post, awsome pics and a top loooong weekend. Always loved getting into a school of tailor, great fun. But being a sydney harbour fisho, bream and flatties have been the staple since I was a lad. Catching nice size bream is awsome, they go so hard, and are one of the best eating fish around as far as I am concerned. I will be after the winter bream as soon as the kings have gone. Top post, well done. sparks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Robeebee Strewth, that's what I call a great long weekend! I was waiting for the "And today was dead" thing, great too see consistant catches on a trip. As others have said, fantastic looking little boat there. I'll bet it makes you proud to be able to say "My Dad Built It"! My Dad was good with his hands too, he built loads of great things, wish I could have had half his abilities but it wasn't to be. Don't feel too bad about your Bro outfishing ya, I play guitar like a 10 thumbed gorilla on morphine but my Bro is an absolute genius. Oh well, that's life I guess.
