Sydney Harbour And Lane Cove River

[Smitty]

Hi Raiders,

Headed out this morning with Scottakasid and his future father-in-law (another Chris!!! WE are everywhere I go ). The plan was to give Chris, a Melbourneite, a look at Sydney from the water and hopefully pick up a few flathead and leather jackets for the table.

As most of you would know, Sydney turned on a beautiful day and I'm sure our southern visitor was suitably impressed , just a pity we didn't do a bit better on the fishing front.

The tides weren't ideal for my usual flathead haunts in the Lane Cove river but we perservered and managed 4 nice flatties between 40-45cm, thanks mostly to scott and his trusty blade (I didn't bring any blades with me and they outfished plastics 4:1). Then we had to move around a couple of times before we could find the leather jackets ........ and when we finally found em it was our victorian friend opened the innings. We ended the session with 4 flathead, 4 LJs, a flounder, plenty of laughs and a nice cold beer . All in all a fun day on the water with a couple of great blokes and I hope we can do it all again some time - well most of it anyway.

Here are a couple of pics from the day..

Couldn't resist this one!!!

Cheers,

Smitty...

Nice report Chris - hard luck with the personal tally, but a great day out by the sounds of it.

Cheers
