Holls Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Who can explain it? Go out on the lake for a couple of hours in my yak, maybe 3 or 4 times. I catch the odd flathead and occasionally a couple of legal pinkies. I live virtually on the shoreline of Burrill Lake, south coast. Then this morning I glide out 30 metres, same spot and the duskies are going crazy! Every cast with an SP brings up another big fish. After 15 mins I stop with five nice fish, the largest just over 55cm. All caught on the one SP! Filleted up I'm supplying neighbours (from a distance). Tight lines everyone. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Good work, nice feed of flatties. Could be that a school of baitfish were hanging in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyFil Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Holls I had exactly the same experience at Narrabeen Lake on the Northern Beaches of Sydney a week ago. Was fishing the same stretch of shoreline I usually do (sometimes get one or two flatties, but lately none) then last week my son and I caught seven in an hour on SPs. Kept two and released the rest. We were getting hits every few casts. I don't know why either but it was I nice change. Fil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the lake is alive with little shoals of something. It's one big nursery. One flatty had a three inch bream inside it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holls Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 One thing I noticed. A couple of these big lizards had muddy discoloration underneath (you can see it in the pics). They were caught over shelly sand but it possible they came off the mud a km away where the creek comes in. In other words they may be moving around a lot at present (autumn). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
