    Default Stop ya whingin'

    I was having a whinge to Rob on Thursday that a decent size Flattie has eluded me, plenty of the fun size but the big girls, nup.

    Went out for a solo on Saturday morning, just around the corner from where we r staying at the moment being between houses and found a few in the 40's that came home for lunch.
    Working around the weed edges and up in the shallows I got a gentle tap followed by another, let the Squidgie rest for a sec then a good strong run. Saw a white flash in the water thought great a bloody ray. She came up into view, backed the drag off just as she saw the boat and bolted.
    Shakey hands slipped the net under a lovely 86cm lizzard, quick bolt back around the corner to show the family and get some pics then we sent her on her way.

    Big lizard and good handling techniques for its release...

    You gotta bring that boat to Mondy - it attracts monsters!
