zen801 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hi Raiders, Went out on sunrise this morning for a quick fish. First bait down within 30 seconds and i land this nice big lizard. She took a large salted tailor fillet. She went about 85cm so i released her quick smart. Over the next few hours landed quite a few fish. Kept a trevor for the cats and landed an amberjack i think. Wasnt sure if it was or a rat so i let it go as well. Hooked a few more on my bait jig but they busted me off. Also a lot of yakkas, pinkies and a couple of slimies. A slimy fillet git totally nailed but i didnt get a hook up. Water is cooling off at my spot and is down to 19.4 C. All up good fun considering the last two weeks i was rotten sick with the flu and then a few days ago i knocked out a front tooth. Cheers all.

sanger Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Sounds like a nice fun session mike! Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g.t. Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Great catch there Zenman! Lovely looking flattie. Once the samsons loose their juvenile colouring find them and amberjacks very difficult to tell apart without counting the dorsal rays (amberjack 29-35, samson fish 23-25). Given the shape of that one I would have probably guessed samson, but I could be wrong! Well done either way Edited April 24, 2009 by g.t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen801 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 May the good karma be with you always...great fish and great release Zenman! Hi Jenno, I have had the best run on big flatties this year with many coming in at 80cm and above. I have kept a few but released most of them. A few years ago i saw an old timer pull in one that went over 1m. If i hadnt seen it i wouldnt have believed it. He caught it on a hand line with a sardine. I have been hoping the karma credits i have been accumulating this season would be redeemable for a mulloway over 10kgs. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
