katsuo Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi all, Went out today to Brighton. Arrived at 8:00am and started flicking softplastics around. Such a nice sunny warm day it was comfortable, light wind and calm waters. Felt like taking a nap on the sand. But i was not there for sleeping. I wanted to catch a flathead. Havent had much luck catching anything lately Havent been fishing for the last month. So i was desperate to fish. It was 11:45am when I decided that I was gonna catch nothing today. One last cast and thats it! im heading home. Until... ohh... what!? a nice size "fatty" came into the net. This guy probably wanted to go home with me too, so I gladly took him along.
