Solo botany king fest

[brett davis]

Hit the channel markers at botany this morning at first light , 5 lb of squid and big expectations, well 4 hours of rats 55 to 63 cm ,

71 fish boated . The fun wore off after the first dozen,but keeped tell myself there has got to be a couple of good ones in between them ,

Off the water by 9.30 empty bait box and empty fish bin ,on a positive note ,it would be a great time to get the young ones out there or the novice fisher person they would have a ball and be hooked for life .

off to ice the shoulder,only rats but they took their toll on the rod arm lol

71 fish for the trawlers nets today you can always head over to the fish markets and buy one

[brett davis]

for the PM guys 

a good work out, fishing two 37kg sticks with 80lb braid and 130lb leader ,or what i refer to as THE COME HERE RODS

the left shoulder this morning still has the pins and needles feeling 🙂

molineaux point is where they are holding, around the green markers.

only cast out 30 feel with a small weight to sink the squid slowly double 7.0 circles ,they will hook themselves .once their on ,use two rods only land a fish when the other is hooked up .this method seem to keep them firing . 

hope the young fellow has fun

Yep i reckon once you get to 30 in a session you start finding bruises and handcuts popping up, once im in a bunch of rats like that i find it worthwhile to pull in the lines,preserve the bait until a tide change- that will very often make the bigger ones a bit more competitive for a bait.

71 kings boated on bait your saying? From sunrise to before 9.30am when you left the water. Is this one person fishing or 10 people combined?

You are a Super fisher
