Botany Bay 7dec


Nicnat

Recommended Posts

Hi All. Have been reading the forum for the past few weeks to get ideas on where to fish the Bay as we aquired a new tinnie a few weeks back. Finally got out and launched at Kurnell this morning and headed to Yarra Bay. Salmon and Tailor were chopping up the surface and we managed three losing a few others that jumped off. Once the wind came up and the tide turned we headed to the hot water outlet and berleyed up a dozen bream in about 1 hour. Lost a couple of rippers at the boat as well as a few small snapper and rays and were back home by 10am. The best part - my 7 year old son got all the fish bar 1 bream. Took him 10 minutes on 9lb gear to boat the big salmon in the shot. Not sure who had more fun. Need to bring a video next time.post-6181-1197019342_thumb.jpgpost-6181-1197019316_thumb.jpg

Great effort boy's. :thumbup:

Nicnat last weekend my eldest boy, 10 hooked a big Sambo off Mol point and fought it for around 7 mins. I was on the video and got some top footage of the fish leaving the water in tremendous jumps. Then it won it's freedom. I turned the camera off without pressing the stop record button. Hence the footage was not saved. Heartbreaking :ranting2: just a tip mate in the excitement you do silly things. My boy fought the fish like a champ so it was a real pity he did not get to see his handy work. Great effort on the feed and well done to your little bloke. Top stuff

Gday Nicnat, :1welcomeani:

Nice haul there :thumbup: What did you use to berley the bream and what bait were they taking?

Hi Yakfishing

Berley was a mix of stuff I had left over in the freezer - mainly old prawns, pilchards and some pellets. The bait was some fresh prawns. The fish seemed bloody hungry and were hitting all the baits hard, however nothing happened until the tide started to run and you had to have your bait right on the edge of the hot water boil. A couple of boats anchored almost on top of us but were fishing a little away from the outlet and weren't getting the bites
