Unique day on the bay

[Number1fisher]

We woke up at 4am hoping to be fishing at 5:30. We went to buy some bait but they didnt have any Hawksbury squid so we decided not to chase Jews but bream. So we headed down to towra and very surprisingly there was not 1 boat and it stayed like that the whole time we were there. We put the crab nets out and hoped for the best. After about 10 minutes of fishing i decided to pull out the handling and give it a go. I was also very amazed that we were in 6 metres of water i could see the bottom very clearly. I was shocked because i saw a crab walking towards my bait and i started pulling it in but my dad was unable to net it as he was not wearing his glases. After and hour at the spot we had about 5 snappers caught but no keepers so we decided to check the crab nets. In the first one we had a crab but it was not in properly it was just sitting on top of the pot so we lost it. The other nets came up blank. We decided to head more to the point of towra so we slowly made our way there. I was standing at the front of the boat to see if we were on weed on not and i saw the most amazing thing. As we were driving i saw two big flaties swimming next to eachother but they were scared of by the boat. Another 2 hours there changing spots and nothing.

My mate suggested we go to the airport because he was spoiled by a king last week. So we went and there was action straight away. We pulled up a flatty 5 bream and 2 flounders in 10 minutes. Unfortunately only the flatty and 1 bream were size. After 2 hours there we only managed to pull up smal bream and snappers. We went back to towra agian to check the pots and in the first one we had gotten one. It was a real ******. It was cut my dad three times on the same finder so we resorted to putting elastics on its claws. In the other 3 pots we pulled up 1 crab.

We were sitting there and thinking of what to do. We ended up headed somewhere around kernel next to the ramp. We left after 10 mins as all 3 of us had got snagged constantly. We headed to watts reef and spent an hour there but the wind had picked up and we had to go. We went and picked up the pots containing one crab. We went to wooloware bay because the wind was strong and it's very protected there. We had two drifts and only pulled up a few shells. So we called it a day as we had a party to get to.
