Guest Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hit the ground running today with good mate Stephen( Reggie Rabbit ) in tow and headed for the Cooks River after a tip off from Leon,thanks mate The bream were hot to trot with 6 double hook ups and the best fish of the session just on 40 cms and we landed over 60 bream and a dozen or more flatties and a lone whiting on a surface pencil.Everything we threw at them was wacked and we lost count of how many hits we had We thought it couldnt get any better but we were so wrong. After a bit of lunch and a throw for the elusive jewies we decided to hit the bay as the conditions were ideal with no swell and little or no wind. Our intentions were to try for some kingies on poppers but we never even got that far as the bay was absolutley alive with schools of surface fish and mixed in the schools were kings,salmon,bonito and tailor. Every cast with our metals was met with an instant hook up by both of us and we landed so many fish we actually got too tired to fish anymore :yahoo: Has to be one of the most fishy days I have ever been involved in. Thanks for a top day out Steve and I bet you are as tired as I am Cheers Swordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul.kenny Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Wow what an outstanding session.....I would have been happy with bream bite in the Cooks, but to follow it up with a successful bay session is just awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookerbruce Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Sounds like a great day. Thanks for sharing the fishing with us. You go fishing as often as most of us want to. I've just changed my trip for fri, I'm now heading for Botany bay instead of port hacking. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenno64 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Stewy, You are the king of the midweek sessions. Another brilliant day with some corker fish!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadamson Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) WOW what a day.we were over the moon with the cooks river session then to cap the day off with the crazy session in the bay.Gave my new catania rod a work out and it came through with flying colours.As Stewy said we were stuffed at the end and we drove away from the fish still going crazy in search of a king.Had a great day as alway when fishing with Stewy thanks cant wait till we hit the water again.One of the advantages of doing shift work we can get out mid week without to much traffic on the water. Been out twice this week Donna said she might ban me for keeping Stewy out all day.But i dont think its takes much for him to stay on the water.He has salt water in his blood Edited March 9, 2011 by Reggie the Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmak Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Stewie & Reggie, I'm hyperventilating at my desk at the moment. 60+ bream plus pelagic action? How good is that! Will do battle with the other boats this weekend in the bay - hope I get to taste some of this action as well ... pmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snag Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Stewy good to see the cooks with lots of nice fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JET01 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Must've been something in the water yesterday mate, I had a session with a mate in Botany Bay yesterday from 5 to 7:30 and we picked up about 9 Flatties... 2 of them we dropped back in the water and the other 7 we took home for a feed... Mik01 is cooking up a nice curry as we speak. If i'd known you were in the cooks yesterday arvo i would've come and said G'day. sounds like i need to spend a bit more time in there. What's the biggest flatty you've seen caught in the cooks. My target species is usually always flatties as they're my favourite fish to eat. Been thinking about getting into breaming though.

JET01 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 For myself and the people I fish with in the Cooks it is catch and release only and there are queries on contaminents in that particular waterway. That being said it is a great spot to hone your skills on very good bream and flatties and jewies are always a big chance at the right time of year. Cheers Stewy My girl's an engineer and did a study on the cooks river when she was at uni. When i first started fishing the only thing she said was "Under no circumstances are you to bring fish home that you caught anywhere near the Cooks river... So i fish Towra in the hope there's a gangland style rivalry between the cooks and towra flatties where by they don't encroach on eachothers' turf I'm normally a catch and release fisherman too, unless i forget to take something out of the freezer for dinner, then i go fishing after work in the hope i'll be able to use the fish as a bargaining tool to calm down the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 You don't know how frustrating it was listening to you blokes while I was stuck at work! What a sensational session. Well done fellas!
