    Default I went fishing and I caught......

    .....yep, a flathead.

    Got out for a quick flick yesterday arvo. Beautiful conditions. Crept up on a nice little honey hole that I have been finding some nice fish at lately in about 500mm of water as the tide was dropping. Fired off a cast and felt a thud. I paused and struck but no weight nothing... not even the weight of the jighead.... it was swimming to me..... Once I got line back and she felt resisitance off she went... about five screaming runs. Heaps of fun. 6lb nano, 16th OZ jighead and the trusty Gulp curl tailed grub does it again!! I only just have her pinned too as you can see in the pics.

    My measuring device only goes up to 60cms so dont have an exact length but she was about 72 - 74cms.

    Got a few more but nothing that size. Glorious sunset too.

    Cheers

    Funchy a flathead guru like your self. I'm suprised to hear that you tape only goes to 60cm. A lovely specimen. Kudos.
