hookerbruce Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Friday 20 th aug went solo fished from Jibbon down to Marley. Had a couple of drifts for flathead plenty good size up near the hacking down near marley they were smaller. Fished headlands and reefy areas for wrass and coutta sweep, got 2 good squid near the bommie and kept 10 flathead 42 - 52 cm. Monday was a bit windy fished Georges 50 min no bites went home Thursday fished Georges and the fish were there caught heaps kept first couple then started throwing back fish keeping a couple here and there. Ended up keeping 8 fish 30-37 cm. A quick trip on fri provided a couple of 39 cm fish plus plenty of throw backs. Luckily Georges river is only 3 klm from home and I can find a spot to myself. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Very nice there Bruce, still plenty of blackfish about. The day you headed out, mate and I headed out after 2pm and the wind picked up. We were on the first drift and mate's wife called, she was heading to hospital with a problem, so we made another drift and headed home. 7 flatties between us, not as big as yours but enough for a feed.

The blackfish had gone . I think the rain last week may have moved them down the river a bit. My son and grandsons got these down the river early this morning.
