Anthony S Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Fished the Upper Hawkesbury River on Sunday with my boys. Caught a couple of crabs and a few Flathead. Biggest went 63cm which wasn't a bad catch for a 7 year old. He fought it like a pro all the way to the boat. My other son got second prize with a 48cm model. Dad managed a couple of the smaller fish. All fish caught on a mixture of trolled hard bodies and soft plastics. Beer batted flathead and chilled mud crab for dinner.

JohnDory Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Very nice with the boys. What is it with little kids and Good Flathead? I believe its got a lot to do with them just taking it easy on the retrieve and not skull dragging them to the boat. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabs were caught in crab traps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
