trev Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Well after my 13yr old daughters birthday party a sleep over with 4 new teenage girls I needed a break from the giggling laughing and greenday at full volume. I know the tides were not what I would like but headed off at about 3:30pm to Iron Cove. Got there and tide was rising but had a long way to go. Started chuckeing watermelon 3 " hawgs damn near dredged the edge of the river for no fish. after about 3.5 hrs of tossing lures also tried small single tail and a squidgie then back to 3" hawg I was resigned to a no fish outing and as it was dark and cold I was about to call it quits when I finally came up solid on a whiting of 36cm(sorry no pics yet) a new personal best The fish hit the hawg real close to shore and then zig zagged out tacking drag. but after that no real fight at all. I walked a bit further fanning out casts and then had a good take on the lure. The fish came straight to the water surface and went for a short fast run which made me think it was a tailor as I was retrieving a little fast but nope a flathead of 38.5 cm. I decided to keep fishing following this success I had one good hook up that swam straight out from the shore but lost it. Only two fish but both good fish and am I happy with a PB whiting on SP You bet I am. Cheers and good luck 2mro at the salmon social all.

Guest fishrunner Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Good on ya Trev, Good whiting, there seems to be quite a few in iron cove. Don't know if they get any bigger then 36cm as it's the same size as my pb whiting on plastics, which also came out of ironcove . Well done again cheers brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
