Busy-livin Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hey guys All week I've been watching the weather all week and I had planned a trip out from the hacking into bate bay and drift for flatties! So thismorning I was up early planning to pull past macs bait bar around six then hit yowie bay ramp shortly after and I be off but I arrived at the bait shop at 545 and waited for him to open...... 645 ahhhh stuff it servo bait it is. Anyways I get out In the bay and start a drift in 20 of water and not 2 mins later WACK 4 to 6 kg rod bent. And pulling hard run after run .. What is ?! A meter and a bit shark comes to the surface.. Not the flatties I was targeting ! I think a gummy? Down goes a new set of baits and again it's barley hit the bottom and I pull up two flatties on my two hook set up.. Awesomeeeee! First flatty was 45 cm and the second 39 These were kept for my lunch when I get back. For the next two hours I pulled in up to 15 flatties ranging from undersize 20 cm to 44 cm these all went back as I had caught my lunch already. Awesome morning on the water and a great first trip outside! Hopefully I can do it all again tomorrow .. Cheers stanto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
