Botany Bay and outside 31.1.11

[Aqua Naut]

Out again with big Kev and a late 10am start we head out to the bait grounds chasing yellowtail for some live bait. We managed about 10 in 30 mins. For some reason they were pickie and didn't want to play but managed enough for a run outside. The Bay was boiling with surface fish which looked like Tailor and Bonito but them too were pickie in taking lures. We hooked up a few times but couldn't land a fish. We then decided to head out up the North side of Maroubra and found some good reef and activity. Anchored up for about 2 hours and we sent down the livies. Within 5 mins we have a run and looked like a good KingFish. I don't believe it it was a keeper going 67cm. Kevs rod goes off as well and he too lands a keeper same size. All up in 2 hours we managed 10 fish 6 throw backs at 60cm and 4 keepers. All taking Live baits squid baits and even managed to hook one on a Halco 60gr. The NE wind started to lift the swell alittle but it was time to go and pickup the kids from school. Not bad for quick 4 hour Tight Lines!!!
