insolent Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) Went for a fish this morning down in Glebe. Took the soft plastics and also some bait, everything was looking good for a flick until I walked out to the point and copped the wind. After a half an hour or so with nothing on the plastics I switched to the bait (mullet and tuna strips). The switch worked straight onto a 43 cm flattie, then some small squire. Then flicked out dragged the bait on the bottom a couple of turns of the reel handle and smashed. 58 cm flattie makes my day. The choppers started to show and bite me off, switched to long shanks and landed 4 tailor 20-25 cms. All in all a good little session with bites happening from 8am to about midday, using 6lb fireline and 10lb leader on Berkley Dropshot rod Daiwa Caprice reel, got to love the morning high tides. Sorry the flattie is a little dirty she spat the hook over the dirt I just took a quick photo and released her as she was a bit tired.

Flattieman Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Nice flattie, mate. It's interesting that you couldn't pin it on a softie, but it's good to hear that you got it eventually! Well done on the release - I prefer to keep the smaller ones too. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I'm in Chippendale, will be going to Glebe a fair bit over the next few months since they have opened up the foreshore again. I'll PM you next time I'm going and see if we can meet up and have a fish. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
