jenno64 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 After last week's single big girl but no keepers, yesterday I went out in search of a feed and I hit a good patch of eating sized flatties in the Georges. Got them on the morning run out tide in 2-3 feet of water on blades, shallow diving minnows and SPs. The fish were very agressive and a few hit the lures on the cast. They ranged from 38-46cm, with a few identical in length. Today, I spent an hour filleting, skinning and boning them and now have two sensational meals for the family. I think the rain helped dirty up the water and I'll hopefully be out there again later this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keflapod Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Well done Rob. Nice brace of flatties there. The good Karma has returned to you after letting the big girl go recently. A little bit of rain and a runout tide gets them on the bite. Now it's your turn to bite them ! Bon apetit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bashful Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Nice work Rob! That's an awesome haul from the Georges. Yeah just got back from down south and got a few flatties but nothing much seeing that I was confined to the rocks and jetties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenno64 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Well done rob on these nice specimens, try a couple flicks in the channel when the tide is stable just before it turns and you will be surprise what you will hook on to.. Cheers cg. You're spot on George. I like to soak a livie or troll a HB in the last hour of the run out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
