Scratchie Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 G'day raiders, Had to make the most of the beautiful weather today. So after sporting commitments, hooked up the boat and straight to soldiers point ramp. I found a spot close to the ramp as I was waiting for fellow raider (crazed@bonito) to meet up. Whilst I waited, scratchie jnr and I threw around some sp's and I managed a few nice flatties. We met up and chris had hired a boat and wanted to get his first flatty on a sp. so I got him to follow me to a new spot around the other side but the wind was affecting our drift, so we went back to the place I started at. I scored another nice flatty as I showed chris what drift to take and prove they were about. After a while I left him to it and went to chase some jew but no luck there. With the sun fading, jnr wanted to get a flatty himself, so we went back to that spot and sure enough he managed to land a nice one! All up, caught 7 and kept 4 for a feed. Beautiful afternoon out there and great to meet up with yet another raider! Thanks for reading, Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Cheers guys! Perfect day to go back to basics and flick for flatty. I forgot how relaxing that type of fishing is. I was using 1/8 2/0# jig and 100mm bloodworm wriggler and 80 fish/drop bear. Looking forward to tonight's dinner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I love that style of fishing (drifting for flatties). Pity it's so far away. Fishing out here is to be renamed after a card game: PATIENCE. Something I'm running out of. Well done Scratchie for putting the "hard yards " in for a fellow Raider and good to see you scored a nice feed, too.Cheers, Big Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was perfect for drifting in shallow water chasing the humble flathead. And didn't they whack our lures. Nearly got chaffed off a few times. Good netting skills by jnr though!
