dirvin21 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Managed to get some fishing in over the weekend started on Friday waking up after night shift at midday with 3 1/2 hours before kids getting home headed out for a quick fish started off fairly slow fishing around the boat ramps casting a tango shad only managing a very small big eye trevally and a wrasse, then decided to call it quits on the way home stopped at a fallen tree in the creek on the side of the road after a couple of casts came up solid with a bream on the sx40 not big but at least a semi decent fish The next morning headed out with the kids to chase some flatties, a work mate told me to hit a small creek in town, the creek has been closed to the ocean for a long while and the water looks filthy but is actually just tea tree stained, got a lot of strange looks heading towards it with a fishing rod. over the next 1 1/2 hours we landed approx. 25 flathead with 4 over 60cm (the biggest going 64cm) and another 10 over 50cm, we kept 1 50cm fish for the table and let the rest go. there were some nervous moments when larger flatties swallowed the $20 worth of sx40 on 8lb leader but with a bit of light drag work and not rushing the fish you can get them in without busting off its just a matter of holding your nerve by the time this fish was landed the leader was like cobweb finished off the weekend with a couple of tailor off the rocks on Sunday arvo all in all a cracker of a weekend thanks for reading Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Great result Dave. Well done. I used to fish SWR every year for the tailor run north. Got stacks, though that was back in the mid 80s. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdanger Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Nice. Always nervous when the flatties engulf the expensive hardbodies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
