Pre-work fish

[seasponge]

With a 6 week old baby at home, I need to make the most of any opportunity to get out for a fish. I'm normally out the door for work by 6am, but take my 3yr old to daycare each Wednesday. So that leaves me with a solid hour between sunrise and when I need to get the boy out of bed to get ready for school - plenty of time to pop down the street for a quick fish!

Last Wednesday, I was treated to a beauty of a morning, bottom of the tide, and a couple of nice flatties 40cm and 50cm, both falling victim to a Gulp Prawn soft plastic. 

 

This Wednesday, I repeated the effort, and was able to upgrade ? this time landing a 43cm and 53cm flattie. The smaller one on the same SP. The larger one caught on my maiden fish using a Berkley Shimma Shad soft vibe.

 

The larger one was enjoyable. A good long cast of the soft vibe, worked in all the way in, got to the end of retrieve, lure in sight at my feet, about to lift it out of the water and I see this flattie come out of the depths, rise to the surface and attack the lure right at my feet. pretty awesome sight to see. 

Not a bad way to start the working day.

Very nice. It is always interesting to see a flattie swim up to and grab your bait or lure. They usually smack it pretty hard.
