Luke K Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Hi Raiders, Well there is a good old saying "seeing is believing and now I too am a believer. I went for a yak on sunday with a mate Simon and fellow fishraider Yakfishing. The water looking more like a cup of cold coffee rather than a beautiful pristine lake. The bite was quite slow, only managing a few small flatties and a lonley tailor all on plastics. We decided to start at the ocean end of the lake and head up stream. It all happened when we got to the main bridge( pittwater rd) There is always a flattie or two there and I managed to pick up a couple. Then my mate simon hooked onto a solid fish and I thought at first that this would be a good flattied but low and behold it's an E.P and it was about 32cm and we released it . We only got picks on his mobile phone so when he sends it to me I will add it to this post. I could not believe it, only 1km from the ocean this little gem was caught. I must admit I am a little jealous it was not me who caught that fish, but it was great to see one caught in the lake. cheers Luke Edited February 25, 2009 by johnno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewgaffer Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi Luke It might pay to try the creeks, after the rain we've had perhaps schools of estuary perch could have gone up as far as the waterfalls ?? Cheers jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
