raysenior Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Decided late Saturday to have a fish early Sunday so set the alarm for 3am and head off to greenwell point. My usual fishing destination is around the banks reef complex and after doing a bit of trolling for two smallish kings I decided to head out to the Fad , slow trolled out therefor nothing and after doing a bit of bottom bashing once again no takers ?so head back into the south side of the banks and found a patch of decent flathead . After the first four I got a good strike and heavy pump and wind and end up with a rather large marbled flathead 62cm on the brag mat and 4kilos on the scales . These are one of my favourite eating fish and this one made a great dinner tonight .apparently this may be a Fishraider record . cheers snrSnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike89 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Lovely fish. I haven't seen too many marbled flathead. Are they generally fatter around the shoulders and belly that the duskies or is it just this fish? Well done, nice photo and congrats on the FR PB!

raysenior Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 this one was very fat , but they are a whiter flesh and very much better on the chew, three adults took care of this one and was yummo !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
