Port Stephens- Huge flatty!!!


Scratchie

Recommended Posts

G’day raiders, 

Just a quick report from this morning. 

Headed out with @Woodsy1 after he picked his boat up from some maintenance. Had a leisurely start at 9am. With the wind predicted to blow up at 11am, offshore wasn’t an option so we thought we’d hit the bay for a few flatty!

Well that was the plan from me but the fish didn’t want to play ball on my line and I’m sure Woodsy has sprayed my lures with fish repellent over the last two trips. Today was no exception and he managed all the fish even after I take him to all my good spots! The nerve of this bloke! Haha!!! 

Anyway, he dropped one really good fish but managed to land this monster and another! I must say it was well netted 😝

The fish went 80cm and caught on a 3000fk stradic 1/8 3/0 jig and 5 inch zman pilchard shad. 

Well done Woodsy 👏👏👏👏

cheers scratchie!!!

I had to try something, don't worry I won't hide the banana in your bag next trip.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I gotta admit it's pretty easy when I just have to get the boat ready and Scratchie comes up with all the plans and spots then I just keep casting. Thanks for putting me on the right spot, another top day on the water.

Mate, an absolute pleasure! I enjoy almost every trip we have! Haha 😂 I might not always get the fish but at least I get the spots right. 👍

Nice effort, Woodsie! Well done!

I think someone’s sprayed my boat with that same repellent! Wasn’t you, was it, Scratchie? 😂

Seriously though, you’re getting out there and that’s what gets fish. 😎 I’ve got too many dramas happening on the home front to go fishing, even though fishing is the best thing to take my mind off the dramas! 😜

Wasn’t me Baz! But that stuff is powerful. Might have rubbed on your rods last time I was out with you! I hope Woodsy gives up the patent!!! 😝

Thanks Neil. Me too. Don’t want to be too far from home at the moment in case I’m needed, so just trying to keep myself busy. Hope I can get out before Christmas.

To be honest, I haven’t chased flatty in over a year! Woodsy could only find the big ones! Haha 😝
