Botany Bay Boat Session → Port Hacking Dawn Flathead

Botany Bay Boat Session & Port Hacking Flathead 🎣

I headed out onto Botany Bay with Geoff for a day on the water, starting at the breakwall where we quickly stocked up on bait — filling the live tank with yakkas and slimy mackerel.

We had a short troll around Bare Island before heading to a few different spots and throwing a few lures. Geoff was nearly connected to a cobia, before landing a solid flathead. As the wind picked up more, we tucked in tight along the mangroves, using the electric motor and flicking lures along the edges.

After a bit of persistence, I managed to land a flathead on the Dirty Grub soft plastic — always a confidence booster when a plan comes together. Massive thanks to Geoff for the day out on his boat.

The following morning, I headed down early to Grays Point, fishing the bottleneck where the Port Hacking River empties into Port Hacking. I managed one flathead on the Pro Lure Live Yabby before being joined by Nauti Jade. With the bite being quiet, we decided to move on — and that next fish turned into its own separate video.
