Botany Bay (1/05/09) .. Sorry For Late Post

Hi All

Ended up fishing mol point with live nippers and pilchard, ended up catching 3-4 good size trevally and 1 nice bream. Put the bait jigs down and pulled a few yakkas up and had them out the back with no hits unfortunately. Then around 7pm moved to the third runway in 8 meters of water ended up with another 4-5 trevally and 4 flathead (45, 38, 50, 48cm).

About 8:30pm I had a dead nipper on a 1/0 hook literally on the bottom.. then BANG.. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz I thought geeze this is either a real nice flathead or a big trevally. After alot of fighting and 10 minutes later... ended up pulling a jewie around 65-70cm and as I was about to net it clipped the side of the ladder and bang... (DEVOSTATED) I could not beleive it took a nipper either.... Ended up staying on the 3rd runway for a few more hours and caught 2 x port jacksons and 1 x shovel nose shark. ( I dont know why but every week I end up catching a porty...) and some more trevs and bream.

Thats my post... pics to come shortly once i get them off my mobile.

Cheers

Chris.

Everything in the estuary will eat nippers. Among all sorts of others I have landed Jews, Kings, Blackfish and stinking eels on nippers.

Hard luck on your Jew.

ive actually only ever caught jewies on nippers but ive only caught three, bad luck though sounds like a nice jew. yeah get a nice big nipper with a nice big pink claw and everything will have a go. well done with your other catchs too sounds like a fun evening.
