Botany Bay Moli Slow

[Shaggytrevally]

Awesome arvo fishing with couple of mates yesterday, started slow so we moved to la-perouse fishing with dead squid on a double Snell rig. When bang my line was off after some fighting landed a nice Australian Salmon, 5 minutes later my line went again this time it took me straight to the reef my short boat rod was bent like it never been bent before, 10 minutes still no fish in boat i let some line out then tip of rod bounce i thought he had move out off hole but he went straight back until another 5 minutes i tried again this time snap my line goes it had shreds all up the line.

Doh 30pound line and all!! Finally My mate was onto something more than a small snapper, his new rod with 20 pound line bent over and squeal the line went off.

Lift and wind was my words of encouragement, couple of times thought the line was going to shred on bottom of boat till finally color was at the surface and i netted his king fish first and biggest for him. One prob was it was 55cm there for not legal, he was very upset i told him to throw back lol .

My time was next with live yakka only prob my line squealed off didn't even give me 2 minutes it went straight to reef and snapped me off again.

other mates turn but same thing again busted off on the reef after couple of minutes trying to pull it in.

Fish to finish the day was a massive Bonito caught on a live yellow tail, drag was set tight he had no where to go but up landed, nice fight shoulder is killing me. lol

Great fishing close to bommies reefs but chance of bust offs is too often.
