[The banks]

Decided late Saturday to have a fish early Sunday  so set the alarm for 3am and head off to greenwell point. My usual fishing destination is around the banks reef complex  and after doing a bit of trolling for two smallish kings I decided to head out to the Fad , slow trolled out therefor nothing and after doing a bit of bottom bashing once again no takers ?so head back into the south side of the banks and found a patch of decent flathead  . After the first four I got a good strike and heavy pump and wind  and end up with a rather large marbled flathead 62cm on the brag mat and 4kilos on the scales  . These are one of my favourite eating fish and this one made a great dinner tonight .apparently this may be a Fishraider record .

cheers snrSnr

Good luck!

Absolutely !! a classic colour that keeps on working !!

[How big is a boat before it becomes too hard to handle by yourself]

I have 6.1 Trophy and only do solo from good ramps with a pontoon beside it wind can be a huge factor I launch by myselfe at green well point ,Coffs Harbour and south west rocks .a good ramp with pontoon will allow you to use either side depending on wind conditions [emoji4]

["Deep inchiku" and slow jigging at browns mountain]

Wow very nice mate

what did you do with the fish?

you would expect that he would eat it , or that would be a waste of effort to fish that deep , he certainly couldnt release it , nor should he!! why do you ask ????

[Heading to South West Rocks need advice]

The only tip i can give you is be very careful crossing the bar on runout tide it can be treacherous , sit back and watch it for ten minutes before crossing , some great fishing up there , but a damn site safer going out of Coffs harbour !!!

cheers snr

[What don't you eat?]

Give em to the kids they don't know any better lol

[What don't you eat?]

I often wonder on peoples tastes on some of my favourite fish to eat , i like mowies and yes we do like sweep and even moarie wrasse , but all our catch is kept alive in the livewell and only killed just before cleaning , i wonder how many just throw them in the esky and 8 hours later expect to clean them and still be good ,

[Fuel Storage]

My trophy holds 330 liters of 98 grade fuel, on most days i uses 40-55 ltr , generally keep it topped up after fishing , i havnt noticed any fuel issues in 6 years , but generally use the boat at least once a month . i dont use any additives!!

[A lazy Saturday afternoons fishing.]

great stuff , so much fun to get the young ones involved.

[Have you tried?]

If my motor died, I wouldn't even be able to pull the cowling off in the water. So no chance of trying to work on it!

Paddles and oars won't really be able to assist! I would just have to drop anchor and wait for help.

yep i,m with you there!!

[Have you tried?]

Is a vessel over 6m with single propulsion required to carry a paddle?

yes you are required to have a second method of propulsion, , but dont expect me to actually use it LOL one person with two paddles in a six meter trophy just aint gunna work !!
