G/day all . Went out for a fish yesterday to nice a day for work
the bay was pretty flat , so I started with some sp's for some flatones , first 3 casts 3 fish , I was on a roll .
spoke to soon next 1/2hr nothing then a couple more hits and droped fish ,
next stop livie grounds , didn't take long and then to second fishing spot. as the tide was wright.
well the wind came up a bit , a bit of a south / south west . Couldn't get anchor to hold on sandy bottom plus fishing up the boat as tide was going out ,
After a few attemps I gave up , plan C . Always have a plan A B C and a D just in case, next spot I could hold anchor but fishing up anchor rope again . SO tied off on back bollard nice slow burly trail going , well it didn't take long some small redies then some bigger ones showed ,

Well it was all guns blazing from there on droped some good ones ,
got busted up a few times , may have been rat kingys , some big bluters It was non stop.
A boat near me positioned himself 3 times trying to get closer to me as he could see i was getting fish one after another

The three kg reels were sreaming was loosing a few so out came the 6kg floaters on that . have to say pulled out of some heavy fish on 6kg, then some breams got into the action.

Big blue nose this went on for another 1hr redies / bream / big blurters / and some lost fish I left them bitting as i had something to do that arvo , kept a few for dinner and gave some to my oldies . top day out


The biggest blue nose went 38cm

Steve, Next time you go out gimme a call, I'll tie my boat to yours and have a good perv as well

Serious some hints and tips of when and where to fish would be greatly appreciated. I promise not to take home many fish (I don't eat fish)
Especially flatheads are on my list and I can't seem to find these

It sure is a good haul for the bay.
There are still good numbers and sized fish to be had, just takes a bit of know how to get them.
You done good mate.

Honestly guys the amount of animals that seem to be changing hands here on the forum I must be thinking that most of you guys grew up on a Farm.
