this evenings river report
Had a mate round for study and decided to take him home via boat and have a few casts along the way. Stoped hoping to find a few bream in which i need help, after two casts consisting of bouncing a mud coloured vault across the bottom hooked up, suspecting a flatties, this was the case at around 40cm.
Decided to move in search of bream, headed round to near scotch boatshed again using a slow deep retrieve with the vibe for around 20mins with no results, dropped off my mate and decided to have a crack back around where the first flattie was caught in hope of landing a few more, almost straight away was on again landing another 4 lizards, all between 30-40cm except one going just over 50cm.
Quietened down so i decided on one more cast to land a monster flounder, first flounder on lure and flatties on vibes can’t really be less than happy.
Cheers

Definately some tailor
Definately some tailor around, got a nice one last weak on a rmg. Glenn don't take it personally, i feel like that with bream, just never seem to get them. forgot to meantion all fish where rerleased to fight another day, but must agree out wide they are a bloody tasty fish, a mate ("jezza") is not very understanding with most of my catch and release anticks haha. thanks for the coments guys.

Nice work, I picked up three
Nice work, I picked up three flatties myself saturday morning with some small bream and about 40 blowies. All on hard body lures, looking forward to some more flatty action over the coming months.
