Canning Flatties 1
Submitted by Ben Derecki on Mon, 2010-12-13 11:26
Picked up a heap of these babies on Saturday wading the Canning. Must have got 12-15 in three or so hours... largest was 46cm but most were around 35cm.
The lure is a 6cm HRT Dancer.

Flatties
Good numbers for a 3 hour session. I'm missing the Perth flatties; got a few favourite spots that I hit up first thing in the mornings; it's a great way to start the day.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Thanks guys.
Should have mentioned that there were two of us fishing but it was still a good session.
Saw a couple of rays too which I haven't seen in the Canning before. Might be following the crabs upstream?

Wasn't too deep, maybe 1-1.5m, just wanted to give the HRT Dancer a go and see how it went. Got a fish on it pretty quickly and then didn't need to change.
