bojulabah Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I was at the ramp a few weeks ago after a slow day and noticed a lot of flathead frames at the cleaning table - a bit of asking around resulted in a trip today off Lion Island. 15 good flathead - all legal and most over 50cm, the largest 2 went 65. We kept 9, returned the others and left them biting. Bait was squid and Yakkas caught at West Head, patanosta rig with two 6/0 circle hooks.
night_rider Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Nice feed! If you don't mind me asking which side of Lion Island?
rockfisherman Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 A sight that makes me jealous... Good haul. Enjoy the feed Harry
bojulabah Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Lion in front, drifting. Tried a nuclear chicken jerk shad to no avail. Used one of the legal flathead for bait - stripped and squid. Squid was preferred bait, but flathead strips caught 4 of the larger ones.
quochuy Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I was going to The Entrance for flatties tomorrow. Might change to Lion Island instead. Thanks for the report Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk

roba72 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 can i ask, with the squid i cant catch them if my life depends on it. Whats the best store bought squid to use either tackle shop squid which dont look too great usually or seafood shop squid where the quality is definatley better but i dont know where they are from and what species to use calamari or squid australian or overseas. I live near hornsby where do the local guys around here buy there squid from
harold Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Roba, squid are easy to catch in the Hawkesbury area. Find a quite bay and start jigging. We just start at the bottom and jig and raise 3 winds. Works for us as long as you have a good squid jig. We have caught decent squid at the mouth of The Basin. Fresh bait can be bought at Chatswood fishing shop. Not sure what is closer to Hornsby.
seasponge Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Flick n fish at thornleigh often have fresh squid
Tag117 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Roba, i live in hornsby as well, seafood@hornsby opposite woolies in westfield sometimes has fresh squid, if it is labelled 'product of australia', its usually fresh
