Sydney Remaining Time

WTF man... can't believe I'm so bloody lazy to blog anymore. But seriously, ever since being back to Singapore, it's like my life has changed or something. The reason I'm saying this is that I've officially went into the working life. I really miss the times in Sydney when I can go fishing whenever I feel like, no fish, got fish, also never mind. It's the thought about how I can go relax myself whenever I feel bored or the urge to catch some fish to feel satisfied... Sigh... now thinking about this, it's really really damn sad. Anyway, here to blog the remaining stuffs I had went through whilst I was in Sydney for the 3 weeks holiday.

Technically, the fishing had been pretty shit whilst I was going hardout during my 1st week there. That's why I haven't been that keen to fish the remaining 2 weeks there. Or simply I was quite lazy to do that too, whilst I was more keen to spend time with my college friends and also helping them move house. And as usual, went to do the usual fishing such as luring at my usual joints, niggering at greenwich and even did a morning of clifton gardens fishing with Chen. We also did our weekend boat trip with Brooker at Sydney Harbour once, botany bay too.





Had a morning session at Glebe with Chen bro as well, the highlight was scoring a snapper on soft plastics over at polluted Rozelle bay. I remembered GTK did score a pinkie there before on a hardbody so it wasn't that rare but still an achievement.





Then, during the easter long weekend, me and Chen decided we need to head to Botany Bay at least once as we didn't fish there before. Launched at Cooks River ramp and it's gotta be the best ramp I've launched so far. They made new pontoons over there which was good to see. Had absolutely no idea how to fish the bay except some spots that we heard of from the net. Tried this spot they called the 3rd runway and after spending a considerable amount of time, only managed 2 breams, though of decent sizes. Next up was more interesting as we pulled up at Moulinex point. It was here that we witness one of the most jealous moments in fishing. Right so close to us was an asian boat and they easily bagged out on 4 to 5 big kings. I managed to jig up jelly bean sized yakkas to be use as live baits but to no avail. Luckily Chen saved the day when he hook up to a Aussie salmon and the fight on his small Ultegra and Majorcraft Slicer rod was truly amazing. Well done to bro for his 1st Australian Salmon capture using peeled prawn! Lol..

The last week was mostly spent mucking around and helping my friends shift their stuffs. Had a few fishing here and there though. Can't remember much but based on the photos, the luring was shit. Guess my biggest flathead this trip was only 47cm and bream 30cm. Very mediocre results IMO.





Seemed liked my last session turned out to be blackfishing. At least the blackfishing wasn't considered that disastrous, with some real quality blackfish landed. Had one most memorable fight that I know took heaps of line but decided to throw hook, KNNBCCB.. So that was about it for me fishing in Sydney. Actually, no complaints though, I would love the chance to go back there again for these. After all, it's my passion. As I know whatever you do in life, it's always good to have a passion, where you know you truly live for it.
