hillarys flathead
Submitted by papasmurf on Fri, 2008-10-03 11:46
i recently caught a big bartail flathead (40cm+) on a soft plastic inside hillarys marina. is this a regular occurance? as i leader lifted him he shook himself off the hook and bounced back into the water so theres no photo or accurate measurement. i thought you only got bartails in the river?_______________________________________________________________________________________

Nice catch papa
I haven't caught any bartails at Hillarys, but have caught a few smallish ones inside Mindarie marina.

I was down at that spot
I was down at that spot three nights ago with Tango and a colleague. I managed to catch a nice size cobbler. Good old Tango lent me a kevlar glove to wear whilst unhooking it. I managed to release the fish alive and well just after it shot me in the hand with it's dorsal spine. Kevlar + cobbler = sore hand.
