Hey spanker, I didn't measure it when caught, my scales and tape measure was too far away but i did use the photo and went back to the boat ramp to retrospetively measure and an estimate is 62 - 65 cm. By far the best i have caught for 20 years. Cheers

Well we got here late yesterday afternoon and went straight to get some nippers, found out my twelve year old daughter is fantastic with a yabbie pump got a couple of dozen and went back for dinner. I kept the nippers alive overnight and went down to Dunbogan park this morning. After catching a few average sized whiting and a very small bream there was only a few nippers left so i put the biggest one on and cast to the shallows on the other side. A soft tug on the line was the only clue that i had a monster flathead on the line, after a few very powerful runs i looked down at my 6lb line and thought it was going to be over soon. After a tense struggle that lasted five minutes of back and forth i finally got to see it, omg i don't have a net.... Luckily just down the shore was a boat ramp so i walked it down and slide it up the ramp. What a great battle and what a fish. Look forward to more battles over the next week.

Thanks Meathead, i'll give it a go there and post the results throughout the week. Cheers

Hi everyone, I'm taking my kids to Laurieton, mid north nsw coast for a week and would like to know if anyone knows of some easy to get to land based spots for kids to learn and enjoy fishing? I will be pumping Nippers for bait so i would like to target whiting and bream. Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Great fish and a great story, well done.
