dhype Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Hi Raiders Went for a quick solo trip yesterday as my "friends" have been staying away from my boat... due to 1) me always out-fishing them and depression setting in 2) my bad gas problem giving them nasal issues/cancer 3) all of the above.... Anyway... I avoided the usual Foreshore boat ramp and dropped the Polycraft in at the George's instead... I never fish the Georges so this was going to be more of an exploration trip than anything but the day turned out to be ok. Started out around Como and worked the edges with plastics... 2inch gulp shrimp + HWS jighead..... was expecting plenty of bream but after dozens of casts only found a few flatties.. all chucked back into the drink.... Now.. came across a shallow area with a muddy / weedy bottom and first cast I'm on! Another flatty in the mid 30s... kept using the plastics and got a few more fish but was getting plenty of weed snagging my lure too.... so I switched over to the hard-body lures... did it pay off ? Caught 20+ fish of which 16 were flatties ranging from 35 to 62cm in 2 hours... after the group photo all the fish were released ( I could only "keep" 10 fish in the live tank at a time otherwise NSW fisheries would have my ballz). The standout lure was an old orange Cultiva SP followed by grey Atomic....all fish were caught in a small 40sqm patch of water.... how deep was the water? Yup - 60cm of water! Lucky I have a minn kota or this area would not be fishable in a boat with just an outboard.... if you had a yak you would kill this spot! When the wind kicked up to 30knts it was time to go home ! Plenty of fish atm... so go get them! Cheers Trung Edited January 27, 2013 by dhype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhype Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Absolutely awesome! Looks like a fun session, even better it was mostly HB work. They hit em hard and is always fun Yeah it was so cool to see the flatties launch out of the water when they hit the hardbodies.... this is the first time I have used the hardbodies for flatties and I was surprised how well they work in the skinny water, will be pulling them out for often for sure! You sir are a beast. Was that whiting caught on a hardbody? yeah, most of the fish that day including the whiting was caught on the hardbodies.... actually caught 2 whitings and both were on the Stiffy minnow by Bushy...great lures with horrible build quality! Trung, you are braining the fish ATM! Your charter business is sure to take off! hahhaah - thanks Rob... after all the time/money I have spent chasing these buggers ... its about time I started catching 1 or 2! . Now for that charter business... might call it "BBC Fishing Charters"..... people who have been on my boat will know what it stands for!!!

djbazzab Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 That's a cracker of a session! Definitely paid off to avoid the crowds. I think I'm going to need to start thinking about a Minn Kota after that report. Cheers, Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
