B'head 5/12

[Clarkie]

After both my planned trips on the water for Sunday fell through on Sat night I decided just to go down to B'head and fish from the bank. Got down there just before daybreak, and after a bit of a trek, got to the section I'd been wanting to try out for a while. A nice large section of sand flats that I thought would be teaming with Flatties. Thanks to the weatherman I'd overdressed for the occasion and it was starting to get a bit steamy.

After 2 hours of flicking all sections of the flats with a few different plastics I finally came to the conclusion that maybe there weren't any there. No probs, plenty of other spots around, so trecked back to a couple of other spots to give the bait a crack as well. Only a couple of little snappers and 1 small bream. Did manage to hook a nice flattie, but dropped him just as I got him to the edge.

Before I left, thought I'd give one last tidal flat a try with the plastics. Almost down to dead low at this point, so not the best time, but worth a try anyway I thought. Nothing to show for it though. Got one hit, but nothing else for the morning.

Not a great result, but better than mowing lawns.

Does B'Head meant Balls Head sydney?

[Clarkie]

Didn't realise there was another head starting with B.

It's actually Bobbin, which is basically my local.

There's also another B'head that I know of, BIRKENhead

PS so does anyone know any other head? (excluding D head )

Thanks Snag. I was actually mainly in Appletree. Walked right along the track, and back (have to take less gear next time ) Then finished up the back of Bobbin. I've also found that it fishes much more consistantly than Bobbin itself, and has a lot more options for a land lubber like me.

Usually a pretty quiet place as well, but this time there must have been at least 6 groups of families with young kids on the track. The sun must have brought everyone out.
