offshore botany again

[jarrod]

hi All,

just a quick report, I headed out to the reef north of the botany fad.

water temp was 24' and there was a stack showing on the sounder.

couldnt get anything to take our jigs - My mate finally hooked up on a soft plastic but got dusted big time!

there was profisheramn working the same spot with droplines.

We watched them pull in over 40 kings from rats to 10 kilo fish with in 2 hours while we were there

I still cant understand why the kings refused our offerings.

overall pretty average session

cheers JR

They were interested in the live baits he was using

Was it a blue plate boat with a rear centrecab ?

The pros often fish with 2 downlines. They drop the first up current of the peak and let the current take it past the peak. After a while they repeat the process with the second drop line. Once the second has been dropped the y go and collect the first and then reset at the original drop position. it's just a continous circle for them all the time using live baits. When fishing try and get in between the two drop lines using live baits. As your boat will drift faster and be affected by the wind leave the engine running often in revesve. Takes practice but will get results once you have worked it out. Goodluck.
