botany bay 17/12

[bede]

took the tinnie out in botany bay today. for a few hours

Left the boat ramp near cooks river entrance at about 6am and headed to just off the runways.

Not a heap of action but i think the bit of rain we just had helped a little.

Got 5 flatties, and a couple of small whiting and bream.

Kept 2 ok flatties both caught on 5" gulp jerk shads.

The flatties seem to absolutely love the pink shine.

Had a rod out with a river rig with 2 circle hooks, bottom hook with a squid strip and top hook prawns.

Got sick of the prawn getting pilfered by small bream so i put a gulp 2" shrimp (molting) on the top hook. lol.

Picked it up after 5 minutes to check the squid strip to find a double hookup with flattie on top hook and bream bottom.

I thought the bream would've taken the gulp shrimp and flattie the big squid strip?

These circle hooks soughta feel like cheating.

Strange sought of day, wind threatened to pick up a couple of times early.

Not a bad few hours on the water though.

The missus cooked the flatty fillets up and we just finished them. Beautiful!

sorry about pic quality, snapped these on the phone and forgot to get better ones before cleaning at the ramp.

Title should be today, 27/12
