Easter Fishing

Botany Bay is fishing well and this time of the year I find all is on ofter from Kings to Bream, Flathead to Trevally and surface action can happen at any time.
Looking at the tides over the weekend I would start first with Bream of the third runway, I like to anchor around 50 to 200 metres off in a depth of 4 to 7 metres. Nippers or Blood Worms or Tube worms and peeled Prawns will be okay as bait.
rig hear that I use is a ball sinker size 5 and a long trace of about 1.5metres and hook number one cast this out place in rod holder and the Bream will hook them selves. The tide need to be moving so fish hear from 6am to 8am.
Second spot is to catch live bait and there is plenty at the bottom of Yarra Bay in the right corner at the end of the Container wall, Burley with Pilchards for best results and catch about six then head to the drums in the middle of the Bay and anchor just of one of the Drums and burley hear with Pilchards and pellets fish light with Pilchard cubes for Trevally in the burley trail and hang a live bait under the boat for a Kingie untill the top of the tide.
On the run out tide with Squidges soft plastics head to one of the sandy beaches and spin for Flathead, I find the best water depth for this is 2 metres to 5 metres and drift and work plastics up and down as you drift.
Hope this will help you over the weekend to put a few fish in your boat, Remember just keep a feed.

I have three weekend spots comming up if any one is looking for a top day out fishing the 15th and 21st and 29th of April.

There is one spot free on the singles day on the 29th cost $150.00 per person 6am to 1pm be quick on this one.

Hope all have a great Easter and catch a few.
