boating Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi All Now that I have finally worked out what I am doing I can send in my fishing reports. We have just came back from visiting my father in Campbelltown and while we where down there my brother aussiebigbob was kind enough to lend us his beautiful Cox Craft on Monday for a days fishing in Botany Bay. We were on the water around 6.30am and as usual the wind was blowing and the sea was choppy, but being our only day out we thought we would give it a try. We headed straight out and anchored up between the 2 heads, we hooked up on a couple of jackets, 2 rockcods, a snapper and a few unknown fish, around 9am the wind dropped and the sea settled so we motored out around near Cronulla Beach where we did several drifts picking up 38 flatties, and I might add we got quite a few around the 1/2m mark we were stoked. We then shifted over to the loading docks were we did abit of trawling and we managed to pick up 7 tailors which about that time we then decided to call it quits at around 3pm. So I would say we had a pretty good day out thanks to my brother and we had plenty of fish to share with family and friends. Cheers to aussiebigbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boating Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 wow! 38, thats crazy! What bait were you using? They're definately turning up a tiny early this year huh We were using squid, prawns and pillies but personal for me I like to use a cocktail which means I use a hard bait with a soft bait at the same time on the same hook, I find that if at first you get abit of a touch first off and miss it there,s that chance that you still have enough bait left for a second chance, it just works for me. And I am not sure if this is early as this is the first time I have fished in Botany Bay. Cheers Cindy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
