kingie chaser Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Well it hasn't happened before that I can recall where I have gone out on 2 consecutive trips & not having brought a fish home. Started out today before sunrise getting some scad hoping to pick up any sized king but no joy, tried Molly, the cans, 3rd runway & produced zilch. Then tried my usual flathead marks & again donuts. Maybe the guys who ventured outside had better luck? Wind was a bit higher than the forecast from the onset so when not anchored I deployed the drift chute. Water temp 21* Looks like the bay had shut down or maybe getting over fished or maybe its just me?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingFishing Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Botany Bay has its days. It's either on or off. For this reason, I only ever fish offshore where finding the fish can be much easier. Better luck next time!

kingfishbig Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I got 4 flathead an Anzac Day. 3 were at the last spot I tried. On Good Friday I came back with nothing (just one undersized flathead and a kingfish returned). PS I have never not caught anything offshore from Sydney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day Id like to have that option, not really feasible with a 13ft tinny though. 1 hour ago, masterfisho7 said: It has happen to all of us your next fishing could be the one That's why I guess we keep coming back for more...………………..the thrill of the anticipation & just enjoying getting off work & out of the house 1 hour ago, kingfishbig said: I got 4 flathead an Anzac Day. 3 were at the last spot I tried.

Well done, most days Im lucky enough to bring home 3 or 4 nice 45-55cm flatties which keeps me coming back. You cant win them all I guess. What did you get the King on?

GoingFishing Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Do you use burley when fishing botany bay? If not....you should. It's a real game changer in terms of estuary/bay fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
