Botany Headlands On Fire Once Again

[Aqua Naut]

Well just couldn't help myself gave big Kev a call and we headed out for a quick afternoon flick out in the Bay and outside. The winds had eased dramatically from the mornings 35 nott gales. Big wind shift from the W to the NE made conditions outside just perfect for trolling. The waters were lumpy and within the first pass trolling deep divers our rods were screaming. This just went on ever pass. The sounder was alive with surface and mid water activity . We preety much knew we were over a big school of Bonitos . It was on an hour of trolling and with 15 Bonito to 50cm already in the bucket we decided to head inside and bait up for Kings and who knows maybe even a jewie. We anchored up near the drums but was little quiet there so headed over to the point by this time the wind had gone. Baited up with Bonito fillets and Tailor but after an hour it was all quiet there too. As the sun strated to set the water started bubbling right in the middle of the bay huge schools of Tailor chompping the surface on baitfish. So up came the rods and we headed for the school casting out some slices and instant hookups. Tailor and the odd Bonito. Kept a few keepers Tailor going 32cm and quiet a few undersized choppers in there as well. The sun had gone down so we dicided to head for the 3rd runway and try a jewie bait with a nice fillet of Tailor down on the bottom and a few other rods out for Bream. Kev managed a 28cm Bream which we released and a few slight hits on the Tailor bait but no hook ups. It was 9.30pm and the lunar eclipse was a sight. We decided to call it a night. All in all a fantastic evening fishing with plenty of activity outside.
