mako2000 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Decided to leave work early today and have a fish with my Dad, only managed one keeper flattie of about 38cm.....the one I let go has made my year though!!! Took a live bloodworm and the fight lasted nearly 30 minutes with a 1st run of nearly 80 meteres.....thought winter flatties were supposed to be docile...lol A bit of luck came into play as well....When I first left the ramp headed out and had a fish further downriver ans was planning on fishing that area before I remembered my phone was sitting on the dash of the car. After heading back to get it decided to try a dropoff that I always thought looked fishy...1st drift...38cm...2nd drift lost a 60cm at the boat....3rd drift...bang@!!@ Edited July 20, 2012 by mako2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjc123 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Lovely fish! Haven't connected with a 90cm flattie in a few years now. They go really hard on light gear which most people don't realise. Congratulations! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyNurse Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Absolutely fantastic fish and hats off to the release. Sure beats my baby squid from Wally's Wharf this evening. Come to think of it, I should give you that squid so you can entice more big lizards, but you're probably sold on bloodworm now, eh? From one shark to another, again, WELL DONE Cheers, Nursie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
