Botany bay

[Penguin]

Hi everyone.

I fished the bay with my two sons on two occasions last week. 

First day we were plagued by large slimeys at the bait grounds. We managed a handfull of yakkas while we

were there though.

We set up at Molli pt with our livies, and soaked a few pillie tails and peeled prawns. The livies went untouched

but we ended up catching numerous numbers of rat kings on the dead baits and small jigs.

We left Molli pt and tried a few other spots around the bay. We only managed undersize bream and snapper.

Again the live yakkas and slimeys went untouched by anything.

That was it for day one.

A couple of days later we made a late call to get out into the bay again. We hit the bay around 2pm with not a single

bait on board. Today was a jig for squid and lure fishing day. By the time we got out the wind had picked up and the

bay was rather choppy, which made fishing hard, but we were determined. Over the next couple of hours we boated

half a dozen squid, which ended up as dinner that night. We also trolled a couple of hardbody lures along the breakwall

which resulted in a few more rat kings. All kings on both days were released unharmed.
