    Default Flattie time

    Hey guys, been a while between reports of late, but a bit of decent weather and an rdo waiting to be used saw me heading out for a fish. Beautiful day out, pretty much glassed out. I arrived at the flat I wanted and started casting. Didn't take long to get the first flattie on board, a few undersized ones came next and some bream. A little further on and another keeper hooked up. Unfortunatly due to laziness the frayed leader let go . Had just looked at it thinking it needed replacing too. Lesson learned there. Not to worry though, soon hooked another keeper. Bit of a move to a new location and a nice tarpon was next up. Biggest I've hooked, it jumped around all over the place before throwing the hook. Oh well. A just under cod was next rounding out a nice few hours on the water. Much better than work to I must say!
