G'day raiders,
I just couldn't get any housework done today with the gorgeous weather we are having. So when jnr got home from his rugby trials, I said let's go mate and we'll try for a few more flatties. Well he had the boat packed before I could find a fishing shirt. Hit the ramp at 2pm and off to find our target. The bay was a complete glass out and we got to our spot in no time at all......
First spot on the south side of Wanda headland saw a lot of bust ups of tailor, so I cast to the school and let the sp sink and sure enough, a nice flatty sitting underneath and was soon boated.
We both cast for a while but no more fish to add. So we moved to the northern side of Wanda and first cast bang on and another nice flattie to the box. Well what proceeded was a flattie for me every cast for the next 30 mins. Poor jnr was persisting but to no avail and even after much coaching he just couldn't get one to stick today but he never gave up and just kept on casting. To be honest, I think he spent a lot of time netting for me which may have detracted from his fishing time!
We then tried another spot which had yielded a heap the other day but no joy this time. We made our way back to the ramp by 430 with 6 good Flatty ranging between 40-55cm and I let at least that many go.
Whilst at the cleaning tables I ran into an elderly gentleman that had 5 absolutely stonking bream with the biggest just on 50cm. I asked him if he was local and he said he was. He asked me if that was my boat there as he sees it all the time, then he asked if I was retired too? I laughed and thought shit, do I look that old? Anyway, we exchange fishing spots and techniques and both agreed that it was a great afternoon to be on the water.
Thanks all for reading,
Cheers scratchie!!!
