Flathead

[bezz711]

Decided to go for a bottom bash over the weekend departed from botany and hit the 60m mark. First baits down nice pan sized snapper and few other good reef species. 

Continued drifting eventually flathead were benign hauled in, some instances 2 at a time. Managed to bag out by 11am left fish biting and back home by 12pm. 

(Note: fish was caught between 3 people)

On Tuesday, we found flatties as well as morwong on the chew wide off Collaroy and Long Reef despite a strong current that made it difficult most of the time. In close, we only found juveniles. The size of the flathead were much bigger than we have recently found south of the Heads.
