Botany Bay Sunday Morning

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Hit the ramp at 7:30, I went straight out to Moll Point, only to see that green boat from That DVD "A Day on the Bay" looked like there was about 6 people on it doing a fishing tour. Having seen them I left immediatley as I knew there was no fish to be had.

Anyway I then proceded to my fav spot for Trev's caught 12 up to 35cm and 6 yaks 1 slimmy which I put on two 6/0s and threw down to no avail.

Here are the pictures of fish, could'nt be bothered to wash my hands and get a ruler from inside of the house so I used my size 12 foot in the picture insted, I also took a few shots of my boat the red dragon.

Seen the coolest sight, It was a sandy brown sting ray about 2m in width chasing yakka's, I could'nt belive how fast it was swimming, it launched itself out of the water by at least 1meter, I looked at the boat next to me and asked if he seen that, he looked and said I heard a splash but did not see anything, then I looked down and seen the ray again hunting its prey, then It launched it self out of the water again, we looked on in amazement, to bad I didnt have a camera with me.

Well done on a top catch there dragon,

How was the bay today?

It was mill pond in the morning up until 8:30 then swell came in and gradually increased not very big though then at 10:00 windy and choppy, I was going to fish for Flathead and bream but did'nt feel like it once the wind picked up

Sounds like a great day out..mate the bay sure surprises for wildlfe.. I remember sitting there one day near Kurnell catching those pesky Snapper when an almighty splash about 5 metres woke me right up.. it was a huge seal chasing the Snapper on the end of my line :1prop: It's times like this you wish you had the camera on board eh

jeez thats unreal something you probably would only ever see once.

nice catch aswell there seems to be a few trevs about at thee moment

mate that ray was something I'll never forget, as long as I live it was only 5meters away from me and only just under the surface.

I got sick of catching trev's I caught these in just under an 2 hours, I pulled up anchor to hunt something else but the wind changed and I headed home.

Yeah the bay can be very uncomfortable once the wind come up.

That is the advantage of an early start I suppose.

Once again well done on a good catch there.

Yeah i have to start taking this advice... i hit the bay at 1 yesterday but the swell and the wind were too much. Shame the fishing in the georges isnt much better at this tyime of the year otherwise i would just stay in the river and fish.
