hawkesbury flathead on saturday

[tide'n'knots]

gday raiders, fished the hawkesbury on saturday. Arrived around 6.30 am and went straight to my first chosen spot that fishes well on a run out tide, the target was jew however I only managed 4 undersized jew that were released to catch another day, as the tide slowed down I started to get bream attacking the larger baits so I scaled down one of the smaller rods and started using small strip baits and peeled prawn amd managed to pick up 2 bream around 27 -28 cm, then one of the rods with a big tailor fillet bent over and I came up solid on a fish that had a bit of weight but fought sluggishly, half way in I felt a couple of head shakes and thought that I may have hooked a just keeper jew, suddenly a cracker flathead appeared from the dirty water and my heart was in my mouth. I managed to slide the net under her and she went 73cm.

later in the day I drifted near flint and steel and end the day with 4 flathead 2 flounder 2 bream and threw back 4 soapys 2 flathead and 1 flounder so it was a fun day!
