Botany 10/12

[chemfish]

in short - got zip

after nearly forgetting the bungs, we managed to get into the bay by 5:30am and started looking for livies. sounded up a screenfull, but they just would not play. very frustrating. spent 2 hours and could not get 1 yakka. Moved around about a zillion times and when we finally got onto a patch that would take baits it was too late. got surprised by a small school of horse slimies which was good fun on bait catching gear but that was about it.

4 blokes in a tinny behind us had the right idea and came pre-loaded with livies. first cast and they caught an undersized kingy.

Saw two blokes in a 12footer braining blackfish left right and centre. a fish a cast.

Saw 3 young blokes in another tinny lift up a size kingy.

Oh well, at least somebody caught something.

Where were you tring for the yakkas first up?

[Hooky.]

G'day Chemfish

Plenty of yakkas around.

We filled up with a heap from the bait ground along with some slimies.

kikila,

tried getting the yakkas around molineux point as the sounder was filled, then moved over to hwo, then back to mp, then around into the bay behind mp where we finally got some small yakkas, by which time it was already too late as the sun was high in the sky.

did see some surface action on the way back into the ramp but it was gone just as fast as it appeared.

you can get live baits mostly yakkas at the western end of the container wall but it fishes best early in the morning before full light other wise you have to contend lots of rubbish fish’ sweep n madios and they are hard to get past.
