pogo Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well done, looks like it was a lovely day on the water Putting back big flatties means more eating size flatties in a year or two And builds up your karma bank with Hughie for a big Jewie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muscle_17 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Awesome flathead!! I was on the bay today (friday) hired a boat from la parouse, all we got was a lousy small snapper, small flathead, and 6 squid in a 6 hr period Outnumbered, were you on the bay today? i just realised from your boat picture from under your name, that i saw a boat very similar to yours on the bay. started off at molinux point, then headed more out If it was you, catch anything?
