500mm+ Flatheads in 40m of Water!
Took a day off today, as it is my Birthday, to go fishing with the “bigger kids”. Pull the newly set “red hunter” pots , wait for the wind to die and head to the 40’s to test some new ground.
A couple of berried females (throw backs of good size) and a jumbo male. Big and angry.
We had a number of spots around a location and they all fished well. Quite a few pup sambos from 1kg to 15kg+ that were all released. One spot we have now named the flathead lump. We got 6 over 500mm in 40+m of water. A nice baldie, some big skippy and a range of less desirables. Full on action over the whole time for a few hours – what better Birthday could you want (besides the obvious)?

Got to love the flatties.
Got to love the flatties. Great eating IMO. That cray looks like a monster next to the fish.

Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you !

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
