spongy Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Gday Raiders, Any advice for spots to try for a reliable source of livies around Botany Bay? Its been very hit and miss for me, unlike Sydney harbour. Thx, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano2233 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 ive found i have to search a bit for them i havnt found a spot that always holds them consistently but "the sticks" near the oil wharf have worked for me and are worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx, Im not very familiar with the Bay. Is that the wharf next to the hot water outlet? where are the "sticks" exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano2233 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 on the kurnell side there is a big wharf and sometimes a huge ship docked just out from it. the sticks are two big red poles that sit about 5m apart and are away from the heads if your at the end of the wharf. my directions are pretty poor but when your out there it should make sense hopefully.

pjbink Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 They are rather scarce in winter - summer and autum is a different matter when there are plenty of places to catch them. A lot of people resort to running around to Shark Island near Cronulla to get slimey mackeral (dynamite bait for big kingies on the offshore reefs).

Michael Hatte Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) Hit the drums mate, the closer the better... I like the rusty one on your right hand side looking at the heads... Take only what you need mate so theres kingy candy for everyone Edited August 14, 2009 by bloopin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 My last few outings I found yakkas at the oil wharf, and slimeys can be found at the Drums, last week they were at Moll pt by the bucket load, you gotta berley hard though to bring em to your boat.

Thanks for your replies all, I will give these spots a try, I have plenty of burley so I guess if they are around I should find them. I know slimies are the bait of choice, but Im actually after yakkas as I dont have a good livie tank set up and yakkas do much better in a bucket. I normally keep a few slimies as slab baits though.... Im heading out to the peak tomorrow - hopefully with a bucket of livies ........ Any other raiders doing the same????

pjbink Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'll be at the Peak tomorrow, provided it's not too windy. I won't worry about trying for livies, I'll be relying on jigs and dead baits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
