Penguin Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi Raiders Myself and fellow Raider Crazy Faridation(Mark) hit the bay for a fishing sesh Friday. It was Marks birthday also and his brother had organised a party for him in the evening, they wanted to add some seafood to the b'day bbq so the pressure was on to deliver. We spent the first few hours gathering squid, we ended up with 13 small to medium specimens and two large ones which we kept for ourselves. We also had 7 freshly frozen squid which I had caught during the week. We anchored up at Molli pt and threw out two 15kg outfits, one with live squid the other with the frozen variety. Two more outfits (5.5kg) were also deployed using the ppp teqnique to see if any other species of fish were about in our berley trail. Over the next 3 hrs or so we had a full on action packed sesh, the two of us were kept busy reeling in fish. We landed I think around 20 Trevs (all released), 4 Bream and we hooked up on around 18-20 Kings (15 landed and all but 7 released)I even caught one rat King on the ppp teq. The live squid and the frozen squid were getting hammered evenly. The kings ranged from 63 to 70cm in size, and there were a handfull that busted us off and won their freedom. After the days fishing was over we got to my place and cleaned ourselves and our gear then headed off to Marks place. There were people already there enjoying a drink and awaiting our arrival, thank god we had caught some thing to add to the feast that was being prepared, Mark (Crazy Faridation) Top day mate Pics First couple pics taken with my cam uderwater in my livey tank. Mark holding a few fish The ppp acounted for this 63cm King (released unharmed) What we kept Cheers all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cut_loose Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Awesome report mate with lots of fish, i think i'll hit the bay tomorrow I was just wondering if you had to get up at first light to get the squidys ? i never have any luck getting squid in Botany, and it's a shame as it seems to be the gun way for kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck hope you get a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welster Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Great catch. Would be hard to beat getting out on a weekday and coming home with a feed like that. This might be a silly question whats the PPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puregeek Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Hey Penguin, Great catch there. We were in the boat next to you asking you for the tips! We only ended up with 2 kings... My friends and i were so jealous watching you and you're mate polling in the kings! Did you end up getting the squid at yarra? We tried and didnt get anything. Had to settle with using live yellow tails instead. Thanks again for the friendly tip. Geek Edited May 22, 2011 by puregeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to move around to several diff spots to get the squid yarra bay was one spot that did provide some for us. Hope to see you guys polling in the Kings next time. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
