frankie machine Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Headed down to Dolls Point this morning. Started with a 1/16th nitro jighed and old faithful 3" gulp swimming mullet in pumpkinseed. Fishing for about 30minutes with no enquiries so changed up to 1/8th jighead and threw in a bit of colour with a 4" gulp minnow in nuclear chicken. Fourth cast out felt a bump and pulled in a small flattie about 25cm. Released him and then about 15mins later got a solid hit and pulled in a good flathead, about five minutes later got the largest of three only about five metres from the shore. It went quiet for about 20minutes but then got a terrific thunk - nearly had it on the beach but 'snap' - it had sawn through the 10lb leader . Cast straight out again and lucky enough to get the next one on line. In a two-hour session, five hits: three keepers and one that got away. Absolutely terrific fun. Good luck if you're going out this weekend - I've gotta go to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james7 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi frankie machine. They're nice fat looking flatties. Great effort for a short session. Bad luck about going back to work, but I'm sure there'll be more flatties waiting for you next time. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray R Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 G'day Frankie, nice haul of flatties and 10 out of 10 for using the old grey matter to work out what they were after, I think many times the fish are there and we as fisho's just need to work out what they want at that particular moment.. Congrats mate.. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie machine Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 JB, Started three hours before low tide, most of the action came after 30 minutes - not sure if due to tide changes or change of lures. There was a nice nor easter breeze so was casting with wind and line then drifted back with outgoing tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
