jenno64 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) After releasing 2 good fish on Tuesday my son's mates were lining up for a trip so good ol' dad collected some nice poddies from the Hacking yetserday and took son plus one mate out this morning on the last of a huge run in tide. First stop saw 2 smaller flatties in the 40s caught a quickly released as the tide almost peaked. It was my son's mate's turn next with his first flatty ever released and then he picked up a mid 50s in the deep water to take home. The plan was also to encounter a mulloway or king along the way as my son has both on his bucket list:) We headed up river to another couple of spots and nothing in the deep but one spot fired with a PB upgrade for the mate at 64cm which was quickly released. 15 minutes later my son was next as he landed a fat 72cm girl on a livey then released her. This was a good follow up to the 80 he released on Tuesday:) I decided to try a HB drift in the shallows while we waited for the tide to get some movement and I scored 71cm model on a double clutch, snapped and released within 2 minutes! Tried a deep spot with our biggest baits but the wind started to misbehave and we had all caught a good fish so back to the ramp by lunchtime. It has been a good week on the Georges flatties and good to get my son and his mate onto a couple of quality fish. Only my son's mate took a fish home for the table and I have plenty of fillets in the freezer from the last week or so. Happy days and look out, the rains are comin:) Edited January 21, 2023 by jenno64 added details 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 You've certainly got the Flathead code cracked in the Georges River Jenno. Would be great to have a supply of fresh Flathead in the freezer, on top of the fun catching them. Cheers, bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also perform a bit more when you hook them in the shallows:) 10 hours ago, Isaac Ct said: Good stuff Jenno, nice to see you smashing the flatties.

I've enjoyed getting friends and family onto good fish, I normally fish alone so it's a nice change and the pics are usually better! 9 hours ago, Rebel said: Top video's & photos.
