botany bay 10-25

The wife said she wanted to go fishing this weekend. Weather looked nice, so I figured we could try the surf. Got out to beach little after noon, tide was falling. Had a few bites but not much. Moved further down past mud flats and wife caught a nice bluefish.

Caught a small whiting little bit later, cut him up for shark bait. I had just threw out my smallest rod with a small piece of shrimp when something big grabbed it. I was thinking it was a shark but turned out to be about a 37" red. Took about 10-15 mins to get him in.

Had something messing with one of my bigger rods with cut whiting, turned out to be a small skate.

Had a nice time. Weather was beautiful.
