Robs Crazy Fishing Reports
Date Fished : 20/06/2004 Location : Botany Bay
Took the boat out from Oatley and ventured to Capt Cook Bridge just after sunrise. Anchored just east of the bridge and cast towards the middle pylons. Within about 45 minutes landed an Occy on mullet strip, other rods used fresh but dead squid strips to no avail. Tried various water levels (free floating and with sinker) with squid and mullet strips for about 2 hours before trying elsewhere. Went all around the bay, so cold, so many shallow spots in the bay. Finally ended back at the south end of Capt cook bridge just out of the wind and berleyed up. Not one single bite even on a mullet cube free floated (no skin)and drifted in a spot that looked fishy. My god, one of the worst days I've fished, I really have to work out how the barometer affects fishing because there was not a fish in sight. Even using my tried and tested bait fish rig just in case things are slow and a two inch tiddler is better than no fish. Not one bite! I'm not a Botany Bay expert and don't plan to be after this expedition unless I am convinced otherwise, I'll stick to Harbour fishing. Alteast the water is clearer and you get more than one bite after 6 hours. Was it a fish free holiday I was unaware of on Sunday???
As you can see by our expressions the fishing mood was ANGRY
