Botany Bay - 12/2/12 and the next SSBS/Hobie Tournament

No chance of getting out for me but Tezza hit the bay last weekend hoping to get stuck into the schools of surface fish - Bonito, Tailor and Salmon - that have been doing the rounds. He moved about a bit and had a couple of hits but the fish just weren't busting up.

He decided to change tactics and threw on a Mick Munns Lexan blade (the cool ones with the silicon legs) in the hopes of picking up some bream and trevally. Poor bugga didn't have any luck with those fish but he did manage some ok by-catch. FOUR JEWFISH!

Bloody hell, I'd love to get some by-catch like that. None of them were huge but on the light gear
that Terry uses, they are pretty good results. A simple lift and drop technique is what tempted these guys and I reckon Terry will be hitting this spot for more action over the next few weeks. I think I'll have to follow him just to see where it is! Well done, Tezza and thanks for the photos and not rubbing it in too much.

This weekend sees the next round of the Squidgy Southern Bream Series kick off at St. Georges Basin. This is a two day event and for us lucky yakkers, it's also a qualifier for the World Championships that will be held in the US of A later this year. The top two spots qualify, so I'm expecting that this drawcard, as well as the excellent payouts from these comps will see a field of over 50 yakkers competing at this beautiful fishing location.

The weather is looking good too, so I'm hoping to finally get my full bag at this spot. This is yet to be acheived by me so I reckon I'm well and truly overdue! For all the details, please visit http://www.hobiefishing.com.au/ or http://www.ssbs.basinlureandfly.org.au/. See you all down there. Happy yakkin', everyone!

cheers,
Cid
