nutsaboutfishing Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) On Friday night I decided to go on a bait fish with a mate. Coz I arrived early and he was bringing the bait I decided to cast a plastic around. Not long after I started, I felta familiar “doink” in the line and so set the hook. Then I heard a sound i had not heard all Winter. The sing of the drag!! After a few runs I saw a good flattie on the line and because she had swallowed the plastic I needed to be a bit more careful how I played her in. Finally got her in and she went 66cm Released to go back and breed. Edited October 16, 2023 by nutsaboutfishing 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Nice flattie. Up at that size, they put up a fight. Happy when you hear that drag running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I live for that 'doink'. Or 'thunk' as I feel them. When you get them, you just know that if you lift the rod, you'll be onto a fish. Well done, that's a really nice flathead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekD Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Hi @nutsaboutfishing Welcome back. Hope to run into you in the coming months as the water and days begin to warm up. Regards, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 That's a good sized Flattie. Good fun to catch and well done for releasing it. Fishing seems to have been quite slow recently judging by the reports on here. Hope it picks up as the weather warms up. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
