Guest 4myson Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) After spending Sunday with the whole family in botany nailing a few Trevs & squids my son Anthony asked if we could go chase some more squids on Tuesday , so since the wife arranged to take the girls to watch Paddington Bear I didn't hesitate for a second & since the boat was still hooked to the car from Sundays trip it was hard to say no . I opened the door to the car & before i was able to get in our Dog SONNY jumped in tail wagging & all , So i thought what the heck it was going to be a BOYS trip . We got to the ramp right on midday & the water was Flat as a Tack . We met a couple of guys in a canoe who fished the cooks with no luck but informed us of a couple of guys cacthin Jews on plastic , i thought of STEWY straight away ( it turned out to be Stewy & Swano) . But we had other plans , so our first stop was the Drums to get some baits for the freezer . Bait jigs in the water & within minutes we were surrounded by Slimeys & Yakas . After 1/2 an hour we had plenty so we set out a few fleshy strips of Yellow tail into the berley trail & instantly Anthony's rod had line Screaming off it & after a quite a good fight on 3lb line i netted his first Shovel nose & after a few pics it was released . Secound cast his rod goes off again this time it was a little Port Jackson which when released decided to swim the surface around the boat for a good 10 minutes before it finally went down . I set out a squid jig which got taken straight away by a baby Octopus & this thing kept Sonny amused for the next half an hour as it made its way around the deck of the boat . Anthony by then was onto a nice 30cm Trev . With things going quite we pulled up anchor & set for the western side of the Oil wharf . First drift resulted in 2 squid with 4 dropped . Second drift we had 4 on board & dropped 5 & by the thrid drift we only landed 1 & they seemed to go off the bite . Pretty much all the squid were caught on 3lb line & bright orange jig & 2 on the small 1.5" white jig . The pinks & greens untouched . With a few squid in the live tank we headed to Molineaux Piont in hope of a big winter King but after an hour of no touches on the live squid it was time to pack it in & head home. All in all a great afternoon on the water EXCEPT for the cleaning of the boat !! To top it off we got to finally meet Stewy & Swano back at the ramp & hear about their Jewie & Flathead catches . First pic was 1 of the Squids that was caught on Sunday (my girls get upset when they only see photos of me or Anthony on Fishraider) so i included a photo from Sundays session .

Ric001 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Really nice way to spend an afternoon. Hoping to hit botany again soon. It's been too many years off the bay and hoping to get some good catches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recurve Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Nice Bully, we been thinking about taking our Bully out as he can't stand to be away from us. Not sure how he will go with the boat. Only one way to find out. That Octopus would have been mental overload.!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, what a great little weekend for you and the kids. They really looked like they were enjoying themselves. But the pooch and the occy made the report for me. I had a good giggle at that. I can't imagine what he must have been thinking about the occy. Probably thought it was some exotic chew toy at first. Hope to catch up with you at the Social, as well.
