Lure Flicking On The Lane Cove

[King slayer]

Myself and Brett (aka The Calamari Kid) decided to try something new and on the advice of a mate we tried the Lane Cove with lures only.

Target was Jew, but the main aim was to check out the area for the first time so as to prepare better for next visit.

The morning was superb weather wise, as you would know if you looked out the window this morning. We launched at sunrise and started flicking blades and small plastics at some likely spots.

The first hook up was Brett on a worm plastic after maybe three or four casts. A small, but legal flattie was netted and slipped into the box.

Second hookup was not long after in a different spot a few meters down current from some structure. A larger flattie on a little stickbait and 4lb leader. This one was my fish and went into the box with his mate.

By now it was just after 8am and we were feeling pretty good. so we headed up stream to look for more likely spots. Found a few goodies, but as time was short we only had a quick flick at each location, and apart from a few follows from something like tailor, no more fish were boated.

No pics, but you all know what flatties look like!

All up a stunning morning in good company and a top new spot to explore. Gotta love fishing!

Cheers, Dave
