Stonefish Ate My Stiffy

[Try Hard]

Gday guys,
Had a bit of a muck down at my local creek as a bit of a destress after my exams. Turned out to be an interesting 2 hours because I caught my second Stonefish on a lure!

I was fishing around a small rock bar when my lure was met by a thud. I thought I'de nailed a rock straight up so I left my line slack to allow the lure to float of the 'rock'. After a little while I put some pressure on and the rock started moving off. I ended up winching this brown blob up to my feet and sure enough...a deadly stonefish! After a few photos I carefully removed the faithful Brown Snake Stiffy Minnow and sent its on it's way - well...sort of. The bloody thing just ended up sitting in the 20cm of water infront of me until I left!

They're an interesting looking fish so I took plenty of shots.









Later on I moved down to a nice drop off with plenty of current pushing over it where I managed a small flounder and a tiny flathead.



What flounder...???









Every fish I caught had perfect camoflage so it wasn't too bad a way to spend a few hours.

Cheers Isaac
