bluefin Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Fish a cast at times yesterday , Worked the weed beds on the last of the run out, only small fish bit heaps of fun. Moved over to the other side and the deep water along the houses. A few bigger ones up to 53 c/m. Took home 6 . Truly a great day. One again photos I have tried to show the lures. 1 to 2 kg rod and 3 lb fluro my gear of choice today ! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice flatties ! 3lb trace - you like living on the edge 😂 It is 3 lb straight through fluro. The lures are often 2 to 3 grams and this outfit casts them well. Balanced outfit. 1 to 2 kg rod ( daiwa 2 drunk monkey old model.) Reel weight 190 grams ? Cant remember? it is a Daiwa Aegis. Reel has a max drag of 2 kg. Rod designed for 0.5 to 4 gram lures.The reel is a 2500 I think. I like the larger reel for the higher retrieve rate. Reel weight 190 grams ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefin Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 I suppose where and how I fish are more important to me than the size. The smallest yesterday would fit across your palm, just ! The biggest 53 ? Every one was fun. What I did see on 2 of the small Flathead was their whole tails fire up a brilliant blue like a Marlin.! Spectacular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Ct Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Well done mate, light gear is always the most fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Looks like a great day, plenty of flatties on the bite. Duskies in shallow water usually fight harder than those in the deeper water. In my young days, I used 3 pound mono to pull up smaller school jewies. Took forever to get them up from the bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenno64 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Great post and a good spread of lures doing the damage! 3lb would be heart stopping on a fish over 50 or 60! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
