Submitted by bluenosehunter on Tue, 2014-01-28 10:36
its been a good season for flatties so far...
ive usually caught enough for a decent feed at least 10 times since they have been firing up!
with the biggest one of season being 53cm.
usually go with a buddy and we have caught about 5 big girls 50cm or over this season!!
just curious what size do guys usually put them back? I must admit ive put girls back in the past this size. but love flatties that when I see big girls all I see is big tasty fillets!!! I don't usually bother with flatties 30-36cm and put them back, and take all fish between 40-50cm.
what size limit do u keep? or do u keep all flatties caught?

Release at least half the
Release at least half the flatties I catch. I'll only keep ones in the 35-45cm range with the occasional exception for fish that are hooked deep & I'm pretty sure won't survive
Just because I smile & nod does not mean I believe the crap coming out of your mouth.

50 and over are released
50 and over are released (breading females). 40-45cm are great table size

Nothing better then watching
Nothing better then watching a flathead swim off, they kind of just cruise where as a lot of other species will shoot off,
I agree with these two above,
The art of fishing consists of casting, winding, trolling and jigging
while freezing, sweating, swatting and swearing.
