HAWKSBURY BUOY Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Last weekend and boy what a weekend it was and a sad one too,, my boat sold but had one last fish in it with a friend. Went too a few reefs off sydney got some good snapper just on dusk,,back into Bobbin Head for the night and a BBQ on the beach,, few spins and baits for some good bream,, Up early so tossed out a livey for a Jew while having a and some brekky . me too busy as usual to worry about a little tap tap on the line so my mate has a look see and bam away all hell breaks loose,eyes lit up Jewie 15 minutes into the fight first site out 20 meters bugger not a jew looks like a shovel nose few more minutes in bit closer maybe port jackson damn few curse words Mate says feels like a flathead the way its tugging me nah cant be too big has to be shark , couple more minutes get a better look down deep mate think its a flathead still bit pi***y nah shovel nose [ In my books when fishing if its big its been a shark ] Few more minutes its coming up F**************k me guess what CATFISH LMFAO,, Nah sorry you would not believe the size of this flathead, all this and didnt take any pics too excited. Anyways we composed ourselves went back to the beach which was only a few meters back , gave him or her a measure ,, had only a old spring scale Took some pics but only on a shi**ty mobile sorry guys,, One came out I wanted to take him home and stuff him but we let him go,, now i hold my regards to Bobbin Head as a promising big Flathead grounds up their with Lake Conjola and my good old Wallis Lakes Sorry did i forget the Measurements and weight Any one want to take a guess at the length and weight Bye the way Mate is 185cm will let you know wednesday Or maybe if you want to make it a competition say two prizes one for closest length and for weight Prize of some fishing dvds [backups] Mods if allowed will put in a new thread tomorrow ??? some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewgaffer Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 What a flathead mate . Vass (Bigfoot) was only saying tonight when we down at Maroubra that the big flathead on the Hawkesbury must be way up river. So it looks like way up river for the missing school jew maybe? Hawkesbury Buoy that sure was a memorable catch mate and you can never rule out Bobbin Head when baitfish are abundant, that's for sure.

Cheers jewgaffer Thanks for that jewgaffer and everyone else for the replysHave seen them at foster near the lakes pool years ago gliding around the pylons and they were big have caught blackfish and have seen flathead come up to the surface and bite them in half Also i think the record for biggest flathead standing years ago was in the Foster pub 21 lbs Also i still think my mates flatty was a lot heavier scale was a bit dodgy i think but happy in deed at that weight All that and no more boat now have to be a desperate landbased again Also anymore takers on the dvds 5 to go pm me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
