Botany Bay (Stingray Bay)

[arty9]

Hey all;

Headed out the other weekend with a couple young keen guys from work for a play in Botany Bay.. (they cracked the first beer at 7:00am). Tried first runway, nothing but a stingray (thought was a nice Flatty). Headed further out towards Kurnell, because looked like the winds werent coming in as early as predicted. C&R a flounder although legal and a couple small flathead, nice female crab (no eggs) that i let go also (look like full of water, let her breed) and of course another Stingray. Anchored elsewhere, with berly...Tadarrr Stingray and Banjo shark. My mate did have a good time catching the shark thou being his first one...

Later in the day dropped to nice (expected Bream) So not my day...But the boys enjoyed the day and the case that went with it Unfortunately i was the DD

Whats doing with all the rays, never heard all caught that many.. Anyone else catching a few too?

Looks like you and your mates had a good day out arty9.

I always seem to catch more rays when it's really calm conditions. I don't know why.

Cheers

Peter

put ur baits off the bottom. even 1 turn off the bottom and u will get way less rays as they are literally right on the bottom. Wen its stormy ur bait might b swaying off the current hence not on the bottom. When its calm, ur baits gonna be smack on the bottom for a ray to eat up.

regards
