350chev Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Hi guys. This is my third crack at the bay since Anzac Day and i must say im quite pleased. Was on the water by 7am and soaking baits by 7.30am. Baits of choice Chicken parmy, prawns and pillies. Chicken did most of the damage. Conditions were great, the wind predicted was no where to be seen. Light gear and a steady burley trail saw an end result of 13 trevally, 3 bream one going 36cm and fat as, 1 tarwhine, a 40cm Flatty, a snapper and a salmon around 60cm. We did drop a few beauties which seemed a tad too tough for our light gear but heaps of fun. We were threatened with a few storm fronts early avo which left as quick as they arrived. We also spotted a few lazy seals lazing around I must say quite impressed with our recent visits to the Bay, hopefully it continues. Sorry guys only a few pics Cheers Daniel
joshgraydon95 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Hey dan looks like you had an awesome day out on the bay. good work. if you're headed out this weekend and don't mind a newbie tagging along give us a buzz and I'll be keen to learn something. I've been in the bay with my boat before (4m tinny) - I can take that again. cheers mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Paikea Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 The Bay fishes very well since they stopped the prawn trawlers dragging the guts out of it. Plenty of choice for locations and types of fish. Cheers Paikea
Guest no one Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Got to love Botany this year, certainly has fired at times. Very rare to go out and not catch dinner there right now! Give it a few more years and we'll be catching 40+ snapper. The peligics are covering the bay too, good amounts of salmon and tailor! Great sport! Onya dan for braving the conditions!
FatTiny Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Wow Dan,bloody nice work!! If any of you want some company one day,I'll pay my way,bring my gear and hopefully learn something

I've noticed the bay seems to fire well when mother nature ain't to good. I did score a 50cm snapper last year and a 35cm last week so you might be right. Cheers

Cheers Paikea I'd have to agree it has definitely improved. I do remember as a kid way before they built the third runway we used to walk all the way to the end of the old runway pump nippers and catch some thumping fish.
