Mutt Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 With the task of feeding 13 people- we set off from Callala Bay ramp at the gentleman hour of 7am. Thanks to those who helped me out with a few tips, plan was to head towards Middle Ground and see what happens! While it was a beautiful morning- with me and 4 kids on the boat and a slight swell and breeze- stopped just off Longnose Point and out of the sanctuary zone in about 20m of water. With salted pilchards and flasher rigs, got the 9 year old into the water first. Went to bait rod number 2 and the 9 year old was already on to a 40cm flathead. What followed was an hour of bedlam, with me having no time to fish in between baiting, removing fish, re rigging etc. In between a plague of barracouta the kids all managed to catch 11 keeper flathead up to 58cm. Mission accomplished and with big smiles we had a leisurely stop at Long Beach for an icy swim, a bit more of a fish off Long Beach (for a few small flathead) and back at the ramp by 10:30am. Love days like this (even though I didn’t turn a reel!) Mutt 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Morris Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Great catch mate. Were you using a paternoster rig when fishing in 20m of water for the flatties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Bill, I had snapper rigs on as I thought I’d try and get to a reef but late change of plan we concentrated on flathead. Rigs were flasher rigs in blue and pink with 4/0 hooks. Hope that helps!
