Friday Night Footy And A Little Fishing Too :)

[Breambucket]

Hey guys

Headed out to Botany Friday arvo for a quick session befor we headed off the the Saints v tigers game, GO THE SAINTS!!!

Anyways after the last few weeks of being really slow i wasnt expecting much at all but was pleasantly surprised and found a few fish, Took a work mate who's idea of fishing is sitting down soaking a bait with one hand and a joint in the other! lol well non of that stuff on my boat i hate the smell so i made him work for the fish all arvo

Found a few Trevs with brock landing his first fish on plastics and putting up a good fight

Tryed a new drift and had a classic flattie hit a big "THUD" Then for a split second i thought its a snag but after a second or so i felt the head shakes and i knew i was on to a good fish! still using the 4lb leader i got the big girl up to the boat and started to try guide her into the net and she did a right turn just befor the net and with a couple of head shakes i watched as the fish slowly disappeared back down into the water

I dare say it was around the 75-80cm mark and definitely beat my pb of 70cm but oh well thats the way it goes i guess

We ended up keeping 2 trevs around 33-34cm and one flattie close to 50cm for brocks family and threw alot more just legal trevs and 1 bream back

Good fun for around 3hrs and sorry about the shitty pics we were in a rush to make it to the game

Cheers

Pete

Oh plastics used were all either 3 inch minnows for me and 2icn berkley worms for brock

Few nice fish there mate, congrats.

I always seem to have more success with Berkley plastics as oppose to Squidgies, but I like to persist with them lol

Great to see you getting some fish Breambucket. You are right that it has been relatively quiet in Botany Bay over the last couple of weeks.
