botany 25/02

[kikila]

its been awhile between fishing trips for me, so I was really looking forward today, we were on the water before first light and headed for the flathead grounds out in front of botany' last time out there was no drift and today was the same but we did catch 2 keepers at 37 and 39cm not great but better then a duck egg. my mate feeling a bit sea sick so we went for a troll' headed over to the light house and trolled in close catching a pike and a butchers both on CD9's trolled all the way to little bay and back I must say it was kinda disapointing was hoping there would a couple of rats as my mate has never caught a king. the wind was starting to pick up so we went over to whatts reef where we caught a couple of keeper bream 26 and 30cm and a heap of little bream and baby snapper, we went over to mol point for a look see and the bloke from the downrigger shop was there and releasing a little king. well thats about it not much but a feed.

Sounds productive enough I spent 8 hours on the water a couple weeks ago and landed nothing haha

I was out on BB on Tuesday morning and had a similiar poke around.

Saw a load of bait fish on the sounder at Mol Pt so anchored up,about 2 hours before the low tide.

Landed a couple of pike,which I used for bait in case any Jew were around,but nothing came of it!

Then I thought my luck had changed,spying a shed load of fish cruising along: about 20 metres away.

Threw an sp at them,no takers.

I could feel the jig hitting their bodies as I pulled it thru the school,but still no hits.

Finally one followed the sp to the boat so I could get a look,YTK!

Naturally I tried everything,popper,metal slug,even a squid head,but no interest!

Aaaaaarrrrggghhh!
