Weekend- Botany

[screech]

Just picked up a new boat and last weekend being the brighton fishos october competition was a great time to test it out. started on saturday morning to my bream spot. lost two, and brought in 3 27cm but thrown back to grow a bit more. at the turn of the tide at 830ish i headed out to the container wall for a troll using dead squid trying to pick for some kings. 2 laps caught nothing.

Decieded to head out to the north head and have a look if any bird action but nothing was spooling up. i droped one dead squid and a lure to slow troll up north. within about 2mins zzzzz my squids gone for a run. my first king but only came to 56cm. i put heavier wieght on to drop the squid into the deeper waters. minutes later zzzzzz on again this time to something bigger. barstad took me down to structure and my line was gone!

In the rough conditions re-rigged and trolling again. bang another king!! nice size again and look me back into structure and lost. i noticed that there were plenty of kings hanging around, could see a school close to the rocks when the waves opened up. i wanted to stay there and do a bit of spinning but i was feeling far too sea sick and being by myself i didn't want to stay in the rough waters too long close to the breaking waves.

At night tried jews at captain cook bridge using live yakkas and dead squid but nothing at all. lots of boats but noone was catching.

2nd day of the comp. my dad came along with me to have a bit of fun. went to the bream spot again and caught a nice bream that weighted in at 798g. caught a few more smaller ones. turn of tide again took the old man for a troll to the north head using dead squid again. more prepared and having taken motion tablets we were onto our first king within 2min again. same spot as saturday. we caught about 6 but all under 63cm. taking turns in driving and catching. load of fun for a small powerful fish. all were thrown back to be caught another day. there were dophins up close to the rocks and around were we were catching the kings.

Weighed in at 2. end of the weekend won the biggest bream. 2nd time in the two months of comp.

i was interested in getting some fishraider stickers... who supplies them??

Pity about the kings but nice work on the bream.

You can get the Fishraider stickers from Fishfinder Tony - a sponsor on here.

He has Fishraider caps as well.

Cheers
