PB Flatty on a valentine week get away

[sienna2500]

Went to port stephen's last week for a valentines get away. Stayed at nelson bay. It is my first time at nelson bay. It was a wonderful experience! Heard alot of stories about people catching marlin. God there was so many deep sea boats at little beach.

Anyhow rent a boat at the marina and started to troll around 8:30. We rented a boat for 4hours and had no luck at all. All we got was just undersize snapper, leather jacket and legal breams. We were after some decent kings! All the fish was released.

Anyhow my baby thought I was upset so my baby said lets go to one of the beaches to fish for some more landbased action. We tried little beach, saw bonitos + king trolling around bait fish, but it wasnt taking our lures! The bonitos and kings were really close to the beach! it was swiming in less than maybe 1ft of water. I was really amazed.

After about an hr of no luck, we went to a different beach on the other side. we were pretty depressed on not catching any big fish by them to our surprise I caught my first legal flatty at 52cms. It is my personal best! it is also my first legal flatty and also I caught it on SP. It really made my day. Will post a picture soon!

I was filled with joy when i released my flatty. I hope there is more of that to come!
