queensland Relaxing Arvo at Mud

[batman]

Over the past few months I have caught heaps of fish but they haven't been of any significant size. I wasn't feeling confidant heading out to Mud with the missus and the dogs for an arvo fish. Mud hasn't been kind to me at all and after 2 hours of rat squire (again!!) I thought I would target the humble flattie......

Anchored up near one of the small points and started to flick a wriggler around, things were quite then all of a sudden my 6 pounder went off like a zetec!! I called it for a big bream at first but then realised it had a lot more weight to it.....

up she came....a beautiful 63cm flathead....quick pic and away she swam....

weather was fantastic, the dogs were happy, the missus caught a few bream so she wasn't winging all up a nice relaxing arvo.

Milo chilled out on the couch!

nice effort mate, I was there a couple of weeks back and all i got was small squire and moses perch.

Nice to get a big flatty to make it worthwhile...cheers Beejay

Great flattie there mate, good to break the drought

[batman]

Thanks chaps!

Yeah she went really hard and on light gear so much fun....

Mud Island still baffles me....I am going to concentrate on Bream and flatties over there.

Mud eludes me too but you can count on the humble flatty... there firing at the moment. That's a nice fish to break your drought.

Hey Rocket!

As you can see Milo brought his stash of labrador hooch! he was so mellow...he nearly started singing "Don't Worry...about a thing! (Bob Marley). He Loves to get hold of a stray pillie and he chases marshy's around the boat all day in summer...cant stand the bastards!

:laugh :laugh: :

All up a smashing arvo!

Nice one Batty.

Still take him on the yak?

Yeah he still comes on the yak from time to time but I have to clear the rear deck of the hobie, I only take him for short yaks cause he gets a bit restless.

He bailed us out of the yak up near Somerset a few months back cause he thought he could take on a cow/bull! Thank goodness I had my rods on their leash and my gear was stowed away. I wasn't impressed though cause it cold water.......

I tend to only take him when we go on the boat....he is a lot more comfy to ...as you can see by that pic!

I might bring him down for the Bream Social! woohooo!
