jenno64 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 On Thursday I finally wet the yak after a month of madness at work. Launched at 8am with iffy tides but a nice cover of clouds and light S/E winds. Trolled the flats and picked up a lolly-pop squid which was very quickly hooked onto a livey rig and peddled over to one of my favourite deep water spots. Right on time at the very end of the run out, I dropped the morsel into the depths and it wasn't long before there was weight on the end of the line, head shakes and a decent fight, a beautifully marked flathead slipped into the net. I wanted to get a good video of the release so peddled over to the nearby shore. She came in at 81cm and swam off like an Olympian:). The rest of the day was pretty much noneventful with three small flatties taken home for a feed. Check out the vid of the release....great feeling to see the big girl go back in and check out the markings over the river bed:) https://youtu.be/aB2oviVJHRg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 That is quite a sizey beast in those photos! The bigguns really are beautiful fish aren't they? Nice work on the release. I'll check out the video when I have a better internet connection! Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
