Basil D Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Got back from Jervise Bay last Friday and what a trip it was. Fishing, swimming, BBQ's, walking on the sand, snorkling, I will go back for sure, the sands, white/blue water, just amazing. we did some fishing and I got this weird looking Flathead at 34.5cm on a squid jig. we lots of squid and my wife landed her first calamari and got inked everywere, I didnt tell her about them squirting ink on ya Boys climbed ropes and jumped in, we swam in the river, we cruised in our boat with dolphins and I came back 4kg hevier oh well back to the gym . Can anyone tell me what type of flathead this is? Tiger maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewie Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hey mate, That Flattie is a Tassel- Snouted Flathead. I have the Fishraider record for one caught on a lure. Funnily, it was also caught on a squid jig at night. I think yours is a bit bigger too. Did you eat it? great area to fish down there. i'll be back for sure.
