sickie!! Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Fished of the rocks on Day 1 of 2012, While my family is at the beach and having a picnic. So I decided I head down at the rocks and have my first time session using soft-plastics, a couple of cast later.... and the next thing I know I hooked up a 60cm Dusky Flathead... Awesome....

Keflapod Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Hey Sickie, Nice flattie. Indeed it's wearing a nose-ring and probably has a tatoo on it's belly. Either that or it's one of those huge flattie keyrings - the type where you can't say "Honey I lost the car keys. Have you seen them?" You can't miss them....bcos the keyring is big and aromatic.... So what kind of lure was it ? How many thousand chucks before you got the magic bump? Anything interesting about the terrain you were in ? What did the family say when you turned up with a croc slung over your shoulder ? Was she happy to see you or did she complain that you messed up your shirt with fish slime ? Well done - bonne apetite. Tony Edited January 3, 2012 by Keflapod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickie!! Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 @Jenno64 - Thanks Mate. @Fish2Day - Thanks mate. lolz!! the fish was on the chopping board getting ready to be cleaned, I didn't realise that it would have that effect. Hahaha!! @Keflapod - Thanks mate..indeed it had tatoo on his belly , I think the flatty was a gangster and got busted doing something near the rocks of La Parouse..lolz!!! I used the soft-plastic that was sitting in my tackle box for so long. It took me only a few of cast, may 5 cast and on the last one it hit me, at first I thought I got snagged then all of a sudden got a head shake and my real screamed for a bit, then I saw colour it was 60cm flattie at the end of my line, so I said to myself OMG how am I going to land this, I was only geared with 7lb leader and 5lb braid, so waited for a small wave to come and land the flattie on the rocks. They said what da!!... then My sister labeled my catch as Catch of the day......and as my so called fishing jacket (as my bro in-law would say why are you wearing a jacket) well it's was in fact a fishing shirt (long sleeves) it was actually cleaned as a whistle... Overall it was a good family picnic / fishing day out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
