Flat Rock 16/11/08
I went up to Flatrock to have a look for some gardies to take up to Wagoe.
Arrived to find the rock totally out of the water. Was able to back the car up to about 15 foot from the waters edge.
Threw out a few handfuls of spess's brew and then went to rig up.
uncle stu, you pollard mix is just brilliant. I was getting 5-6 casts without having to reload the berley cage.
First 4 casts, 4 nice thick gardies. Then I picked up a few monster hearing as I slowed the retrieve and it sank down a bit.
Swapped over to a cage with a cork and sight casted another 4 gardies.
Thats the clouds came over and I couldnt sightcast any longer.
I ended up with 10 very nice sized Gardies and bought 10 nice size herring home after releaseing about another 10-15.
Was a great fish for 3 hours with some big gardies and herring up there.
Saw a school of what looked like tailor swam past but they were long gone by the time I have the rod and reel out of the car, I rigged up a small metal slice and they never came back.
The beach was busy with cars and bikes going back and forth. 1 car got towed out 3 times along that 200m of beach. They had no idea on how to drive in sand and would of surprised me if they even had their tires down. some people should give up while they are ahead.

Hi Russ, Sandy. What do you
Hi Russ, Sandy.
What do you soak the chip in just water?
Green chips or older chips better?
Do you have a preferred type of chip? Jarrah, Blue gum etc.
Might have to give this a shot.

Aparentley jarrah has a naturaly occuring arsnic thats why the white ants dont like it as much as karri or bluegum.
