1975 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 hi didn't think i would ever file a report in this section! any way Quinfish was kind enough to take me out on sunday for a session at berowra and at the start Robert was determined to throw plastics around while i persevered with prawns and squid. Not much happened for a long while so we moved around a bit. Still not much happening so i had a go at using a squigie that i bought during a moment of fantasy, while robert half heartedly baited up. I actually hooked a small flatie that came off before i could get it on the boat Anyway we had been fishing for a few hours with nothing to show for it so we tried one more spot. Robert started again with the sps and quickly landed a small flatie i looked on with envy but i congratulated him anyway. he quick followed it up with another one and i thought i would give my squigie another go. Three or four casts later and BAM something takes my squigie!!!!!, it felt heavy and i couldn't get the grin off my face as i fought to get it to the surface. I was forgeting all the basics but luckily Robert was there giving me helpful instructions- nice and steady - keep the head in the water! Finally the flatie gets on the boat 60cm!! my first fish on sps and pb flatie. I was over the moon and i didn't mind letting everyone know either. after a few photos from Robert and a self pic we released the monster( sorry if thats a brag but i'm still hyped) to hopefully make someone else trip on the river a memorable one. Sorry it was such a long report and thanks again quinfish for the experience. 1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bream Mad Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Well done 1975, 60cm is a very good lizard and on an SP as well I sure the guys on this site agree, when it comes to catching flatties there is not any more efficient methods than a well worked SP. Flatties just go nuts for them Cheers BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
