fisholb Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 hi raiders got the day off so decided to hit botanybay again still trying to catch that elusive hoody got home from work around 2am didnt get to sleep until 3am and the alarm went off at 5am packed the gear and pick up my mate just before 6am took about 1hr to get to my mate baz with the boat and took almost another hour to hit the ramp anyway quickly loaded up the boat and headed straight to molli pt decided to troll molli hoping to get hit by a big one or anything really we were using the mackbait 5in in blue and the rapala in ghost we put the ghost at the bottom about 10m using the downrigger and the mackbait on top after about 30mins of going up and down molli pt with no hits and lost the ghost lure by getting snag at the bottom we decided to catch some livebait got to our livebait spot and within 5mins we got a rat to 55cm on the boat what a good start so after a quick pic the rat went back in to grow more for the next hour we just kept on catching rats after rats after rats so we decided to move to my mate baz hoody spot with about a dozen yakkas and slimys setup two livebait with floats but after 2hrs with no hits we decided to go back to our livebait spot hoping to catch a legal kingy once we got back to our livebait spot it didnt take long to start catching rats after rats after rats for the next 2hrs biggest rat i caught was 62cm caught an oz salmon over the 60cm on live yakka we were hoping it was a legal kingy wind started to blow so we decided to pack up and head back to the ramp around 3pm we ended up landing over 30 rats lost over a dozen on the side of the boat and we left the rats biting it was the best day for us chasing kingys we were using 2000 2500 daiwa combos with 10lb trace landing those rats using those daiwa combos are so much fun we were using slimys pillys chicken for bait on a size 4 circle hooks hope we can get that elusive hoody soon before the summer ends ended up taking home the salmon slimys yakkas which were all given to our visitor from brisbane we also caught 1 bream and 1 samsonfish which the wife kept thanks for reading 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingie chaser Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Nice work fisho, so what I was saying in another thread is pretty much spot on! The rats have now become very picky & you really need to be using live baits now. Next Friday Om out there, 1st thing will to get some live yakka's. Thanks for the update 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
