Botany Bay to 12mile

[possumms]

Hit the ramp about 530am Monday don't really know the bay that well so head out to the heads just inside to the south tried for some bait the got a few squid but no slimies or yakks so I the run around the bay with still no luck so I headed out to 12mile.with a few skirts in to picked up 2 skippys

Once out the reef I put down a line 80lb brad with big baits only to feel 2 bites then my line went limp pull in to fine my sinker and weight font so on with another rig only to have this happen again another 4 times so I went back to the 12mile reef boy to catch my first dollie boy was that fun I caught 13 biggest 89cm all released then headed back to Botany Bay with some skirts out to pick up 1 more skippy and lost something very big to hard to drive boat and fight a large fish so I found out anyways great day out

Just wish I know where to catch bait and more squid in the bay

Sounds like a rewarding mission! Did you go by yourself? Would be a bit hard to steer the boat and pump the fish at the same time.

Sounds like you had a run in with the jackets! Just like everyone else.

You can catch bait at the end of the terminal wall. I use bread mixed with water til it's mushy then add 30ml of tuna oil per loaf. Once it's mixed bang it in the freezer. Very good burley for yakkas and Slimies.

sounds as if the Jackets are still around normal for this time of the year

[possumms]

Yeah jackets they are a paid in the backside can't believe they can bite 80lb braid clean off also think I lost a bit of line to

Anyone know how long the strong current will hang around out there seemed like it was running at about 5 - 7kph just crazy
