mrmoshe Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Went for an arvo session with a good mate of mine to my favourite flattie spot. One of us did very well...ahem! Nice start with four just legal lizards in quick succession for me and nothing worth writing about for my mate. The I got on to 2 very nice flatties one after another and they both had some weight to them. First one went 55cm and the next was 65cm. Both went very hard on light gear. All released and all on poddies. The lake water is still pretty turbid after all the fresh but the lizards are there in numbers. Cheers, Pete.

Mik Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Does Narabeen hold the fresh long or will it flush 9 inches of rain pretty quick? Edited February 18, 2010 by Boofhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray R Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Good onya Pete, top session, the flatties love them little mullet. Top pics too, I like the one of the flattie in the shallow water it looks nice and clean there at Narrabeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen801 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi Pete, Nice size flatties. In Middle Harbour we havent caught one for awhile. I would expect some big ones to start turning up soon. Last year caught quite a few big ones that took baits aimed at jews. What sort of water temp do you get in the lake? My last outing in MH the water was like 29C which is about as warm as i have ever seen it, thought my sounder was wrong. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmoshe Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 My mate Stig crashed at my place last night and we decided to hit my flattie spot again this morning...and didn't it produce the goods!! Firstly to another spot for the livies..and off we went. First drop..double hookups to 2 just legal flatties.Then several more double hookups for mostly undersize flatties and a few nice bream. Stig got one very nice bream and a big tailor. Then I got a stonker flattie which went like the clappers. Finally got her to a net and she's 70cm on the nose. :thumbup: Ran out of livies. Decision was..leave 'em biting?..or restock with livies and hit it again...guess which one we chose?? Got back to our initial spot and it had quietened down in the time it took to gather mullet. No more after the tide turned, so called it a day.. All fish released to fight another day. Cheers, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to give the livie a go next time and info would be appreciated. Cheers Ivz I use a running sinker (smallest ball you have) straight to a wide gape #5 hook on a 10lb flouro leader with a small swivel to main line. I hook the poddie just behind the dorsal usually. Any SP with a mullet profile will work too I'm sure. I've had success using silver fox paddle tails..they love them. Cheers, Pete. Works for me.

sanger Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hey pete, Well done on some nice narra lagoon flatties. Its been fishing alright down there at he moment. I've started to slowly climb the long ladder of fishing only plastics and have been doing ok out of the lagoon. Pulled out a 65 the other day which went well on my little rod and reel but have since upgraded to a sedona 1000 and it is far nicer, plenty of feel and gives me about 90% less casting loops so hopefull the numbers increase. i often fish oposite the caravan park with an ipod in so if your around come say hi.
