Mutt Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Greetings! Been a while but finally got out on the bay with my little man and a few mates! Left at the ramp on a high tide at the gentleman’s hour of 10am, tide too high to pump nippers so picked up some bait at Mac’s before heading to my mark in the Bay. On a side note, slim pickings at Mac’s with only frozen bait so grabbed a few salted pillies, prawns and they threw in some worms and half a dozen small nippers. Started with the nippers with the young ones, a few small reddies on the drift with the tide starting to go out. Finally got to rig up myself and drifted a chunk of pilchard with the immediate result of a plate sized flounder. Wasn’t long till I landed a nice 42cm flathead and from then on it was my day for a change!!! Landed 4 good flathead (all on the pilchard) with the biggest a nice fat 54cm. My son and mate also landed one each and after a few hours on the water - came home with a nice feed on ice! Even a few engine issues (see my Boating post) couldn’t hide the smiles. Left the fish on ice overnight - seemed to make the filleting and skinning a lot easier the next day. Cooked up a feast for 9 people with a few oysters, prawns and beers thrown in - sensational! This is what it is all about my friends….. Tight lines! Mutt 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Great when a plan comes together, even better when you haven't been out in a while and manage to score fish for the table. Gotta keep the kids interested too, sounds like they had good fun. Cheers, bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
