Very Good Day At Botany Bay

[jojo]

Last Saturday me, my good mate and cousin decided to go at Botany Bay even it was still raining a bit. But with the right weather predictions, the rain stopped at the time we luanched the boat near foreshore drv. We started to head down to trevally alley and saw at least 8 boats anchored in there. so we decided to go to the oil wharf coz we never went zero over there. We anchored and took out the burley at 6am and my two deckhands were goin impatient just after 15 mins. I told them just wait another 5-10 mins and i promised them that it will bite soon. So I went for a snooze and little did u know I heard the loud oiii!!!. I tought somebody fell overboard. I got up my mate and my cousin were holding two rods each and no hand to reel the fish in. so I quickly helped to bring the fish in. As we caught up with the bitting fish, threw some more burley, load up the hooks with bait while the other two catch fish. so if one catch the fish, I put the fish in the esky while they cast the loaded rod to catch more fish. TEAM WORK. OVERALL we caught 56 trevally and nine slimy macks and possibly another 25 trevally its either undersized or it just simply got away. average size was 30.5 cm from snout to the v of the tail.

same thing with the othe boats around us. possibly there were around 15 boats that anchored and left. I just think we were just lucky (very lucky) what bait were u using?

Hmmmm? I was anchored at Molineaux on Sat at 6am and I can tell you I was the only boat there on the whole area. We did manage 1 Trev there but there were a stack of Yellow Tail so we moved to the oil wharf aswell. We scored a nice feed there but not as many as you (81).

Sounds like a great catch man, good on you

Yeah plenty of Trevally around at the moment. Last saturday fished Botany Bay as well with my brother in law, started west side of the oil wharf hooked up on a few Travallys and lost a decent one which gave the light gear a bit of a work out.

Then headed across to third run way where there were a few other boats all catching Trevally. We got them ranging from 25-45cm to the fork of tail on lightly weighted fresh baits and on soft plastics. Really good fun on light gear!

Is this the area they call 'Trevally alley', Wanna Fish?
