Buster and co Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hi All, Long time reader, first time poster. Like some others here I have been going a bit stir crazy not being able to get out for a fish the last few weeks due to the weather, so was very glad to have blue skies and moderating seas today. Slipped the boat in at Parsley bay and made my way outside keeping a good look out for floaters. Some of the logs that have been dragged out of the river recently could bring my little boat to a very sudden stop. Anchored up on Boultons and got a couple of lines in. I had hoped the bump would bring the snapper on and they didn't disappoint, the first one coming over the side after about ten minutes, followed soon after by the knobby headed one. The rest followed in steady succession. Knocked off about midday with an esky full of fish and a smile on my dial. Final score for the day five snapper and one tailor. Seeing the whales again was just a bonus. Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livo Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Nice Reds Buster. Well done, but holding out for a bag like that before posting is cheating big time. and enjoy your posting. Look forward to more reports. Boultons must have liked the spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBLiME Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Nice haul of fish there! great to finally see some decent sized snapper.. those babies were just starting to get on my nerves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan L Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 wow. if boultons is in sydney, then for sydney waters that is an awesome effort i dunno but there's something special about snapper that makes them different from any other fish especially when they start getting bumpy heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abiasin Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 well done mate very good feed there and must have been good to get out there and wet a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster and co Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Rick. Great bag of reds. Did you get them on floaters or on the bottom? No finesse I have to admit. Just the old fashioned way with a pillie and a big chunk of lead. Works O.K. as long as there's no chinamen about. When they turn up, the amount of lead it's possible to leave on the bottom makes shares in BHP look like an attractive option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to get to from Pittwater and Broken Bay which is why it cops a hammering. Last couple of trips though it has produced better than East or West Reefs which seem to pull dirtier water out of the river. On my last visit to Boultons a couple of weeks ago I was boat number 8 and more arrived after me. Didn't catch anything like Buster & co's bag though. Again, an impressive catch. Very, very jealous Buster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
