Fatbastard Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Saturday was a bit of a disaster weather wise so my fishing buddy (Peter) decided to hit it early Sunday. Woke up to about a 10 knot breeze but got out and within a minute of dropping we were both on to a couple of nice flatties. This continued while we worked the same patch over and over until we had our bag. Quite a few undersize flatties, two banjo sharks and the obligatory (for me) Sgt Baker and we headed back to pack up and get home before dark! Didn't see or hear of anyone catching anything else really and we were surprised at the constant stream of good flatties (avg size around 43cm) and virtually no rubbish fish. Can't wait to get back to JB for another session. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconnolly Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thanks for this. Going to JB next week and was wondering whether or not to take the boat. Think I will now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingie chaser Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Its fun catching flatties or anything for that matter on SP's but the old faithful paternoster will bring in more fish any day! Well done & happy eating 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyFil Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I've had success using a wriggler tail plastic on the lower hook on my paternoster and bait on the other hook. Often got just as many fish on the plastic as on the bait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
