Flathead on Squidgy Wriggler
Had an hour or so up my sleeve this morning and the wind hadn't started blowing too hard yet so I went down to Kwinny beach with some soft plastics and a small rod.
The tide was pretty low and the water was fairly clear. I walked a hundred metres or so, casting and retrieving a small squidgy wriggler on a light jig head, nothing seemed to be happening where I was casting, but there were mullet out a bit further jumping and carrying on.
I had something bite of the tail off my first wriggler, probably a blowie. I put a fresh one on the jig head, and started making my way back casting and retrieving. I was doing it a little faster this time, as the wind was starting to pick up and the water was starting to lose its clarity due to the surface chop.
Felt a little strike, probably a blowie I was thinking. Reeled it in and it was a baby lizard. Better than a blowie I guess but bloody small! Took photo, then released.
On the way back got another strike, but he threw the hook right at my feet. Was about the same size as the first, so no worries.
Looked out at the mullet, made 'note to self' I should have brought bait and more tackle. Went home.

Thanks mate yeah I chucked a pic of the soft plastic in question for anybody else who chases flatfish.
If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
