Drifting for flathead

I suspect most fishos face similar questions from the people they see regularly, but every monday as i walk into the office i am faced with the question "did u get out for a fish Sam". That is usually followed with a 15 or so minute discussion in which im doing most of the talking !! So some of the boys from work had been pushing for a team fishing outing and i was more than happy to take the boys out.

Conditions were forecast to be reasonable but the afternoon looked messy so i agreed on the condition that the boys meet at rose bay at 6am. They reluctanty agreed and it was on.

Having had pretty good success on the flathead lately i planned to drift in the hope that the boys could go home with a reasonable feed for their families. It was a great day out with plenty of fun had, flathead caught between the 4 of us, including a deep sea trev which was a surprise catch.

It was a great day had by all and we headed back in at 1130 before the wind picked up.

Thanks for reading

Good catch there, now you will have to take them more often, and its great to have someone else to answer the did you catch anything question.

Thanks Guys

Big Neil - we were bait fishing mostly( prawns and bonito strips) and everyone took their share for cleaning at home !

Nice work Sam. Don't you just love the pressure when taking other people fishing? Not! Some think that it's just a matter of putting a baited line in the water. We all know that it's not always that easy but don't you love when it is! Well done

Cheers scratchie!!!

Great idea that taking some mates from work out, hope they coughed up some dough for fuel , great haul but, sounded like you all had a good day out.
