matt_nsw Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) well last weekend my minn kota burnt out and i've been forced to change my fishing routine. left my lures at home and grabbed a few hooks for a live bait session. packed a few beers (not out of routine) and was in search for mullet. it took a while but found them. drop one down 1hr before sunset with jews on the mind. 5min later landed a 78cm flattie deployed another into the depths resulting in a 76cm 10min later one more livie down with another 76cm landed. sun was down by now and had a few solid hits. i only had 1 beer left and small mullet so i decided to pull the pin. no jew but had some fun all flatties released Edited October 28, 2005 by matt_nsw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
