Day's Fishin Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Nice catch Mick! For some reason we don't have any luck at Flint and Steel. The last time I caught anything decent there was in mid 70's when you could count on picking up some good reds on the reef and good jews in the hole around the corner.
