Pot Luck

Been a while since I have posted a report. Have not fished much this year as I would have liked to but nonetheless have caught something when I have gone out. The first catch was before this bad weather hit. I spent a very cold night out in Botany Bay casting strips of squid and squid heads behind a heavy birley trail. I caught heaps of fish including this kingfish which surprised me totally. On the night I caught about 6 ambos and 3 XOS sized tailor.

This weekend I decided to venture into waters I am not familiar with. Woke up at 8.30am and grabbed the boat and my son to go to middle harbour. Had heaps of frozen yakkas in the freezer that I decided I would take. Also grabbed some prawns from the servo for the youngster. I wanted to try and get some John Dory after doing some late night research the night before. Got to the boat ramp and launched the boat. I was surprised how dirty the water was. Stopped before the spit so my son can have some fun. He caught a few undersized reds and that kept him happy. Meanwhile I was doing my head in trying to figure out where to find yakkas. Anyway we left that spot and I headed out looking for cleaner water. I got to middle head then it was hold on for your life. IT WAS ROUGH so I moved on in. As I was boating in I sounded a nice drop of. The tide was almost high so I stopped and burleyed up. I ended up with quite a few flatties including this beautiful female which weighed 4.5kg on the dot (my PB). She went back into the water later on after I looked at her in the live bait tank. My son woke up from his arvo snooze and we moved in. I hit a log when I passed the spit bridge and knocked out my sonar (fish finder). That was the end of the day.
