LittleNoah Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Went out on like illawarra today fishing for flattys. After a alittle while I had hooked my 1st ever fish on a SP, got it up to the boat, a nice flatty,about 45cm at a guess, but no landing net ... As i had him swimming around the top of the water for a few seconds deciding how I was going to get him in the boat the bloody thing got off. I was devestated, so I still havn't actually "caught" a fish on a SP, gotta keep trying I guess Edited September 25, 2008 by LittleNoah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bream Mad Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Don't worry little noah we all have lost plenty of good flatties. they tend to wear though the leader with their raspy little teeth. my suggestion is use at least 10lb leader and keep their heads under the water so they don't thrash around as the weather warms up you will be catching TOO MANY flatties trust me cheers bm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
