twinfisher Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 G,day all went out on the lake yesterday and today the weather fantastic. Have had my mate from sydney here for a few days for a bit of fishing(Kikila). Yesterday wasn,t that crash hot a lot of tiddlies but we did manage a bream and a couple of flounder It was a lovely day on the water and very enjoyable. This morning got on the water at 6 am and tried for a few squire but the biggest we could manage were about 25-27 cm which of course went back.Moved on towards Pulbah and found the tailor working Chris had a crack at them with a metal lure and got a nice fat chopper 40 cm they went as quick as they came but the lake is full of them at the moment.We anchored up on the southern side of Pulbah in 36 ft of water small tailer were a pest but we persisted . A lot more smallies were caught untill i chucked out a strip of mullet , i had a tentetive bite and struck ,the drag started and i was losing line Anyhow Chris said do you want the landing net i said bloody oath i do 4 lb fireline i didn,t want to lose this one turned out to be a lovely lizzard of 75 cm that messured 16cm across the head she was very well conditioned fish for her length. Took a few pics and let the lady go, i,m stoked it was a great day Dose any one know what causes a slimey growth that we found on a little snapper if you look carefully at the tail you can see what seem to be a very small sea lice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

changa Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Nicely released twinfisher.......great catch, and i bet that big girl is happy she is still swimming rather than ending up deep fried. Think of how many more little flatties she can have now because of you releasing her. Just think, because of you, there could well be thousands upon thousands of more flathead about in years to come Anyone that releases a PB fish is a great person. good on ya twinfisher changa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Nice fish TF. Even better that she is back swiming. Glad to see someone is catching fish in the lake. I would be interested to hear how and where you caught the bream.... I saw that growth on a few squire during the Pro Bream a few weeks back. Before that I hadn't seen them. They had a parasite chewing on their tail that looked alot like a doctor (the little white parasite you get in blackfish). They ranged in size from 5mm to around 35mm. We just pulled them off and let them go. Forgot to take a photo of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
