mrsswordfisherman Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I finally got to go out fishing on our boat!! Up early we ended up at the M5 bridge after trying other areas along the river. The estuary perch were a no show. I said last night to Stewy that it would be good to catch some flatties again instead of boring old bass or EPs. He wasn't keen hmmmm We sat under the bridge. Swordie was still sulking about not fishing for perch. I threw out a 100 mm Silver Fox Squidgee and it go smashed on the first pop. the drag on the little Revo 30 started screaming! I knew this was going to be a good catch. I yelled "get the net swordie" and a giant flattie with a head like a shovel emerged from the deep!!! Swordie isn't very good at netting the fish. He is used to his minions netting HIS fish hahaha. He is useless and the big fish jumped out into the boat! It was 82 cms and beat my PB by 32 cms i followed up 5 mins later with 62 cm one.

nbdshroom Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Excellent work Donna. Getting a PB croc like that one justified your decision to chase flatties instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
