My mate "Fishkiller" is down from Qld for a fishing holiday. We have been fishing 11 days out of 13 with some would say, good results. Today we launched at bayview to go for a quick troll and get home before the wind got up. We trolled BJ headland for 1 bonnie, but the wind got up and made it messy so instead of sticking with plan A,go home. We went to plan B. flick light gear over at lion island. I had reloaded my flick stick with new 6lb vanish the day before only to find it was crappie and broke at 2lb, not happy Jan. Fishkiller on the second drift hooked a 60cm flattie, now Im really P****ed off,I still hadn't got a line wet, beated by a Queenslander was not an option. fishkiller kindly let me spool his 6lb mono off his spare reel,and he would later regret that decision. The drift became too quick so the decision was made to move over to flint and steel to see if I could get back into the game.At flint and steel it was still blowing hard, but being addicts we persevered. I pulled a 36cm flattie and fishkiller got some undersized pinkies. We then decided to drift over to the next cove and this is where the fun really started. First thing we saw was a shoal of tiny fish as we drifted past. The decision was made to anchor up from them and slide down till we were on top of the shoal.Fishkiller on prawn and Im on plastic. 1st cast and Im on. 1 zip Second cast Im on, 2 zip. this went on untill I had 5 in the boat.Fishkiller decides enough is enough and reluctantly changes to plastic, OHH, how things changed then. He was on with his 2nd cast and up comes a 58cm model. In the mean time I hook into a big sambo with my 6lb gear, now Im fighting this monster and fishkiller hooks up to a 56cm flattie. Im trying to decide if I should cut the sambo off cos he's taking all my time when I should be smacking the big flatties and staying ahead in the flattie race. I decided to go with the sambo, and of course fishkiller pulled a 55cm flattie out just to make me squeal a little more, now he's got 4 flatties over 50cm. I finally get the sambo in, he goes 58cm, big deal.We hang around and end up with 5 flatties for him, all over 50cm and 8 for me.I win, but I wish I got the biggest too. You can't have everything though.So counting my sambo, bonnie and a stray tailor. I had a good day.So did fishkiller as that was his first outing on plastic, not bad for a novice.Since Fishkiller has been down here, we have eaten fish everyday, twice a day and every which way.And the best bit is, 2 weeks to go....lol. Now where is that monster kingie lurking???,be afraid, very afraid....
