  7. Heya Raiders, I'm a long time reader but first time poster, and I gotta say firstly a big thanks to all Fishrider and this amazing forum. it sure has help me with heaps of info and definitely heaps of tips from everyone. I never usually brag about my catches however this was something special. Yesterday, I headed to the Georges river with a few mates renting a dingy at Como Marina for the Pirtek Fishing Challenge . Started at 7am and already notice already many boats in water . We headed to our favorite spot dropped our lines. Burley hard, and only a couple of small breams and taylors about for the couple of hours it was quite quite so decide to shift to our other usual spot. Got my line in water, set the rod down and decided to burley. Straight after my first handful of the burley, my reel went screaming. Thought it was a big bream as it was pulling hard but didn't feel like a bream at all - it didn't have the headshakes. Turned out to be, to my surprise, a baby jewie 35cm... cute little fellow ... back into the water goes with it to fight another day. Decided to burley hard around the area and seems to work. My mates and I were getting smashed for the next or so hour with lizard and breams. Average size was about 29cm for breams and 40cm for flaties. The Esky was filled with 4 flaties, 6 breams, about 3 whiting by the end. After that, it gone all quiet. Stayed for another hour or so until water traffic increase and made it a bit hard to fish with some much waves coming at us. Decided to head to another couple of spots where it was a bit more quite. And sure it was quiet by this time of the day. Non keepers of breams and the odd pinkie. It was all good, because by this time we didn't care. We were all quite content with the amount of fish we had. Enjoying the burning sun and trying to keep cool at the same time. This was at about 1:30pm or so. As it was so quiet, I decide to check my line and see what happen to my bait. Started reeling in and felt like a dead weight... thinking to myself, "dammit must be snagged a loose branch / weed or somthing. But as I tried to reel it in it got heavier and heavier, and then all of a sudden a slight pull downwards. Thinking "Oh S**T, it's a live one", keeping the line tight, slowly reeled it in. I was getting worried as it was going under the boat and to the other side. unable to shift my rod to the other side of the boat, I slowly worked it and managed to bring it back to my side of the dingy and get it's head up. We couldnt see see any colour and find out what fish it was until it reached almost the surface. It was a massive croc (massive for Georges River anyway) It freaked my mates & I on how big this. 79cm... my PB! We all never knew a Flathead this size exist at this part of the river. Stayed for another our or so, and decide to call it quits at 3pm ... All of us satisfied with for the day and was also getting burnt quite a bit under the sun . Best day every for us so far. Alvy
