Rock hopper Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Morning, With bub in bed early last night the decision was made to head out to putty beach and soak a few pillies. Got there and was set up by 9. Didn't check the weather forecast. I knew it was low tide around midnight but didn't know swell or wind conditions. Was nice in carpark but very windy on the beach. Luckily it was at my back. Within 10 mins I had an enquiry and brought in a small octopus. He went back in. Then the next 2 baits got smashed. First was a very decent flathead around the 80 cm mark that put up a great fight. Hooked neatly in the corner of the mouth. Quick photoshoot and back in the drink. Then next cast was a shovel nose. I can't escape them. 🤔 He was actually hooked in the wing on a circle hook. Then everything went quiet. Stayed for 2 hrs then home to bed. Was nice to watch the lightning down the northern beaches. Looking to windy to back tonight. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyFil Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Very nice flathead mate, especially off the beach. Yeah forecast is for very strong northerly wind tonight followed by pretty wild southerly change thats going to blow all tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
