Rod bending action - Botany bay

Recommended Posts

Went out in the bay again this morning for some more rat fun, launched at yarra bay and made my way out to Molineux point. Conditions were set to be rather nice with basically no wind and 1mtr swell from the south east. Upon arrival there were 2 other boats anchored & and swell was a little bit more then a meter but it dropped right down to near nothing as the sun rose. A tug boat also greeted me with a solid 7ft wake which had my heart racing in the dark, had to pull anchor and nose into it otherwise that'll probably flip me. 

Todays selection of bait included 4 nice arrow squid and 5 yakkas caught last night. Also brought 5 pilchards just in case. 

Action was slow to begin with, with my livie getting chopped by a tailor, before hooking up on one in the high 40's on a squid strip, this was followed by a 60odd cm salmon which took a liking to a small live yakka. It went quiet again as the sun poked over the horizon.

Action only begun around 7.30 with a kingie on a live yakka in the 60's followed by 2 more at around 55 on some squid strips. 3 yakkas left, quickly went to 2 as I load up on another 60's king. Had to reposition anchor as it didn't hold due to it being only 3kg or so & the current was screaming along the wall because of the incoming tide. I prefer to be fairly close to the wall because i tend to get abit more action.

between about 8.30 and 10 i catch another 4 kings all the in the high 50's. low 60's, one of the kings on a yakka, and the other 3 on strips. Lost a good sized king on a whole squid because I tied a bad knot. whoops. 

total of 8 kings, lost 2, 1 tailor 1 salmon. 

Glad to be blessed with another wonderful morning on the bay, few days rest now with some average weather coming over.

Should invite them out on the yowie charter, can also take fab out aswell, but he’ll probably use you as an anchor.

Mate, get them while they’re on fire!

great fun, and you just never know when your bait will be grabbed by a monster - only a matter of time.👍
