KINGFISH And A SURPRISE RARE Catch!!!- Botany Bay Fishing

Kingfish Fishing Live Squid Botany Bay On Paternoster Rigs Trolling Baits Downrigging Technique #Surprise Unusual Rare Catch Georges River Cooks River Lure Fishing Soft Plastics Bridges Boat

G'day guys! In today's video, I am out on beautiful #BotanyBay with Stewy chasing yellowtail #kingfish using live and dead squid as bait. The way it was done was simple. Without an actual downrigger, a paternoster-style rig (sinker above on swivel) with a fixed-length double-snelled octopus hooks below was used. To rig the live calamari squid bait, one hook was attached at the top of the mantle and the second either at the base of the mantle or through the skin of the head. This was set between 10 feet and a metre off the bottom. We caught several kingfish and in general, they were found close to structure along the groyne walls along Botany Bay and the yellow markers.

Later, we shot up the Cooks River to have a quick blast at the bridges with lures to cap off the amazing session. I found a few fish including a flathead, and would you believe, an estuary cod! This is definitely a rare catch and capped off a fantastic session! I believe this fish is a warm water fish more suited toward QLD waters rather than waters right in Sydney. This is the third estuary cod that I've caught in Sydney, second from the Cooks River and my first off a boat (the others being from land). They fight is best described as a huge hit followed by a lack of fight.
