the skipper Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hi Raiders, I am having a crack on Sunday in and around Botany Bay may even travel south down to JD reef. Putting in at Foreshore Drive is anyone else wetting a line in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out on the bay today. Was a great morning to be in the water. We cruised around more than fished but my girlfriend that's a complete novice did manage a couple of lollipop size squid outfishing my donut. 🤷♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christened the new squid rod with 1 small squid(don't know my species yet) While on the drift at the start of the day in the 15kph breeze I had a few Sp's bitten off just behind the hook. The nice weather & listening to the radio & just chilling made it a fun 4 hours on the water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welster Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 At one stage we noticed 4 or 5 of these ( mini water spouts?) moving across the bay together. I thought it was very odd on such a calm day. F2DD8764-FE1D-410D-B02D-CB8BBC9DFC19.mov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the skipper Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Got out not as early I would have liked but still on the water by 6.30. Could not get any livies for love nor money why I have no idea . Absolute cracker of a day but no joy on the fishing front. Need to get a bit more fair dinkum. Tight lines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campr Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I agree with kingie chaser. Probably vortex downdrafts from planes. Very common at end of runway on calm days. Can be a bit spooky 1st time you see and hear them. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yeh Ive had a couple come within a couple of metres of the tinny before. Not much of a danger I guess but you could possibly lose some stuff in the drink if it reaches the inside of an open hull vessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
