Diane Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Had to tell you I just pulled in a 60cm Flathead from the little jetty at the front of our house. I landed it on 6lb line using a small whiting hook and tiny segment of peeled prawn!! It was great fun nursing the fish into shore until I could see what was on the line then it was a mad dash to the house for the net and with the help of my husband it was out of the water and now in the fridge filleted and ready for tomorrow nights dinner. I had only gone fishing for a minute to see if there were any mullet around for bait or to have fun with some small bream!! Last week we caught a 77cm Flathead on heavier line baited with Garfish. I love summer!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmoshe Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Well done Diane. Those big flatties are great fun to catch, especially on light gear eh? I hope you managed a pic of the biggun and put it up for the Fish of the Month comp..it beats mine by 2cm. Well done. Cheers, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
