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
