Hawkesbury 27/05/07

Hey guys

Decided to head out to the mighty Hawkesbury this morning early in the hope for some bream and estuary perch. It was a freezing morning but we decided to rug up and brave the cold. We lauched the boat around 7 and we were greated by thick fog.

We headed to our first spot and my mate brendo hooks the first for the day. A nice little bream.

Later during the day i get a solid hit and reel in my first Estuary Perch (I think, could be a Bass)

As the day cleared up he decided to try the shallow mangroves on the run out tide. He hooked a few smaller flathead and tailor. I then felt some real weight on my rod and the drag on the Sol was in action. I get it 1 meter from the boat and the hook pulls and i am watching the biggest flathead i have seen swim back to the muddy bottom. Bummer

After a few more smaller flathead i feel the rod load up again and this time succesfully catch a larger flathead. Measured 65cm which is a PB for me, exciting stuff i know.

After catching a few and our stomach's looking for something a digest we head our long drive back to the ramp sharing and few personal jokes (mainly about the cafe and the secondary drop offs), talking about how chris never got a fish all day, and taking in the beautiful weather and landscape. All in all a great day.

I can't really tell you where I was fishing because i didn't really know. I put the boat in at Wisemans Ferry and went east about half and hour or so drive east. Was a nice muddy drop off near some mangroves.
