DarkHorse Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 G'Day Crew, Thinking of heading out to Kurnell/Towra point and surrounds tomorrow morning. Low tide is 5.30am of 0.6m and high tide is 1.5m at 11.30am. Wind should be about 8kts during that time and strengthening about midday. Targeting Flatty's and whiting for a feed, what would be the best time to head out? 2 hours before high tide???? Any other tips for the area?? Regards, Rob
Captin Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Im only telling you what works for me the best in Botany Bay DarkHorse. The second last hour of the run in tide and then the second and third hour of the run out tide. The Bay is usually pretty good, yeah you'll get your quite periods but it gives you the oppurtunity to say "A bad day fishing beats a good day at work". Once that wind picks up, i'd suggest calling it a day, the bay gets really choppy really quickly. I used to be a live bait man but im slowing getting converted to plastics with the luck i've been having in the bay. Good luck and let us know how you go tomorrow.

Captin Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 DarkHorse, Wondering if you went out today, and how did you go? Drove past Brighton at about 1pm and noticed it was pretty choppy.
DarkHorse Posted December 22, 2009 Author Posted December 22, 2009 Captin, Didnt go to Botany. Due to tides and where we live off the Hume Highway/M5 decided not to fight the city bound traffic. Instead went to Minnamurra, beautiful spot, run in tide, crystal clear water and could see HEAPS of whiting, bream and actually seen a big kingy cruising around! Also seen a flatty hit my soft plastic and spit it out and continue swimming off Only a few small hits for about 4 hours fishing. Lost 3 $30 lures.......... Water was probably too clear???? My son enjoyed a nice swim though before heading back to the ramp and home Regards, Rob
