Welster Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) I managed to snag a couple of days of work with my daughter on school holidays. She chose to go fishing and target flathead, so who was I to argue? We kicked off from Swallow rock around 8 headed down south in nice conditions to our flathead grounds. The conditions were pretty good with the day warming nicely, plenty of whales still about a decent drift and the fish joining in, it really doesn't get much better. After a few nice hours on the water we had our feed and headed home. I was surprised how warm the water was at around 19 degrees outside the hacking with a much more chilly 14 up river. The flatties ranged from 37-48 cm. One of the bigger ones had a fat belly with a recently consumed red spot whiting. Mostly blue spots with the one Tiger flathead.

Yowie Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Nice bag of fish, a good day to be out. The 4th fish down looks like a tiger flattie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yowie you are correct. I don't know why but i thought the read underneath the mouth was the marble flathead. I will edit my post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
