Monster Flathead At Roseville

[Aquaholic]

Up Early Leaving the house at 5 thinking why are we doing this leaving at 5 in the morning just to fish from the shore arriving at Roseville boat ramp at about ten past 5. Finding our spot just to the left of the wharf first thing to do was to catch some livies with about 10 or so lives we set up to rods with two yellowtails under float within the first five minutes both of them were smashed with no hook ups pulled the livies in one with no head and the other one in half ( any suggestions on what would of done that two them). Anyway we put two more livies out with no luck until abut 30 minutes later the livies was smashed and we were on we had no clue what it was until it leap from the water and i knew it was a salmon was a good fight.

About 30 minutes later we were on again this time it was a nice bonito we were thinking could this day get any better in fact we thought it was going to get worst with the wind picking up and blowing righ into our faces anyhow we put a livie with a running sinker within 15 minutes the reel went screaming my mate grab the rod with me thinking it might of been a jew but as soon as i saw it i almost fainted it was the biggest flathead i have ever seen taking a whole yellowtail i was surprised final landing the beats we were amazed we had nothing to mesure it but we were guessing between 80-100cm. After this we were pumped

and put another bait down and what do you no we were on again this time being another monster flathead this time on 75cm but still a big fish from Roseville wharf after this it went quite so we decide to pack up was one of the best days fishing of my life :1fishing1:

Hi Aquaholic. Top name!

Top catch on the flatheads.

I found this free program on this site. It is a picture resizer, not really a converter. It will shrink your images if your images are to large.

Hope it helps. I'd love to see those flatties.

The chomp in half is normally something like Tailor.

And agreed i hope those where released, just wish people would realise those monsters need to go back as they are the breeding fish. We saw the head of an absolute monster flattie near the boat ramp we launch at, going by the size of the head this fish would have easily cracked the metre mark and it wasn't released, very sad.

Great flatty mate, would have fought well . As for those who say i hope it was released and such it isnt anyones business. If the fish is legal you have every right of keeping it.

[Aquaholic]

Love to see those fish, the bites that resulted in no hook up could of been salmon, tailor, bonito,Jew or maybe a kingfish please tell me you through those flathead back

yes to two fish were released im not a fan of keeping big flathead anyway

I'm a fan of releasing the big girls as well, but, It does say you are allowed one over 60cm. I'll keep one over 60cm but I draw a line for myself at 75cm. Those ones go back for me. That is ONLY my opinion.

Thanks for the insite. All these years I thought it was 60cm. I must have been looking at another species and got mixed up.

Cheers mate!

Hopefully "people" also realise that this site supports those who wish to take their legal limit.
