That is a fathead!

Congrats on a cracking fish!

Shame about the lost cracker fish there but I bet the esky seat idea cheered you up. I'm going to install one in every room in the house!!

Hey Mr Squid, Was that you I was chatting to before you launched near the sailing club? Nice way to break in the yak and a top jew! Bet you'll be down there again soon!

Congrats, nice pointy!

Congrats, that is a corker!

Great fish Dave and the silly men won the day! Did you get them on the top of the tide?

That is a day worth sharing Tony...and the young girl won't forget it!

Onya boys...love a successful allnighter! Great fish!!

Now that is just showing off! Looking forward to more big fish reports....enjoy the R & R!

Man that was a day with weird events! Maybe the Mako was aiming at the sentre of the clouds??

Tumra, I use 1/0 s for small poddies and 2/0s for poddies bigger that 10cm. The bigger poddies tend to attract the bigger fish!

Ray I don't use placcies that often but I troll hard bodies a fair bit when I don't have bait handy. How is the fishing up your way?

quote name='dchu' timestamp='1326495780' post='429128'] I pin the poddies up through the nose on a wide gap hook and either drift them over the bottom or troll them behind the kayak if there is no drift in the shallows. Thanks Jenno...it helps a lot! These are the go

Dchu, I pin the poddies up through the nose on a wide gap hook and either drift them over the bottom or troll them behind the kayak if there is no drift in the shallows.

After reading reports of little action on the Georges lately, yesterday arvo, I collected some poddies for a crack at this mornings run out tide. Woke at 5:30am and saw the fullish moon still high in the sky (not normally a good sign) and made it on the water at 6:15am to find the tide coming to a halt. I soaked a couple of large poddies in a deep channel that has produced some good fish but 'no run, no fun'. Plan B was to fish another shallower spot for the start of the run in and about 7am I had my first mid 40s flatty in the live-well. I worked a section of 100m up and down with the tide picking up and the next hour or so was action packed. I landed 10 flatties in the high 40s and kept 4 for the table. Returned to my deep hole for another drift but no crackers today. Just had a sensational feed of flatty fillets with lyonnaise potatoes, a home grown salad and a choice reisling

Hugh, That is a horse and the water bottle gives it some perspective! Great session!!

You are tenacious Roberta and well done on persevering for the whiting! I hope you are feeling better soon and fishing hard once again!

Great stuff Kanasey! When the whiting are biting it's on for young and all!

Great way to start the year! Top fish!

Keflapod, Brilliant read and a fantastic bag too! Lot's of cowboys out there atm and I have to seek tiny waters or ridiculous hours, being in a kayak! Looking forward to your next post.

Well done Weekender...persistance paid off and the fishing gods will look after you in 2012!

Greg, You have has a stellar year (forgive the pun)and I have enjoyed reading all of your posts. Your catches are always out of the box! Have a great 2012 and if you ever need a fishing partner, send me a pm!

Thanks for your comments Raiders! Somethin' fishy, I have a 5 Yo old Hobie Outback and it does me fine.....although I'm looking at getting a small boat to allow me to get out further afield! Spooled, I get my poddies from the flats around the bridges or in the small feeder creeks nearby. Pete, I still had a hangover ( didn't crash until 1:30am) but I snuck in a 3 hour sleep this arvo! hamerz, I eat fish from the Georges and all three of my eyes work fine! James, It was a good catch up and we should all get out on a more regular basis. Greg, I'm enjoying the lounge right now! Happy new year everyone!

Mick, It was a great morning to be out....bugger all boats and the last of the run out always works for me! Bad luck about the dropped fish but get out there again in the next couple of days and I think you will do OK!
