Went for a fish this morning chasing some fish using the old faithful sugarpen. Got heaps of average bream one small gt and a bonus flathead that got completely airborne on the take. Good times

Flathead on surface.... Bucket list capture for me. So good! Well done mate

I used to fish around there quite a bit on the yabby flats. pulled some great flat head.

Every time you post a local report I tthink to myself I must get down there again, since I'm back in the area.

being an absolute newbie when it comes to surface water fishing, is spending the money on a sugapen lure worth it? they seem to be really popular for a variety of species

Short answer: Yes.

They work and are quite easy to work. Walk the dog lures can be difficult to work and a sugapen is quite easy.

Also you rarely lose surface lures like you can with soft plastics, jig heads and hard body divers to  snags. So once you buy one it lasts for ages , might as well spend the money on one good quality lure than a few bad ones.

Nice flathead and would have been cool to see it get airborne - looks like you're in good form for SOO.

Has the temp down there on the water dropped significantly yet?

Thanks, it is as I feared. When the temps drop I will usually get a feed of bream and squid down there.

Ianks, sounds like a good session.... Where you walking the sand flats when you had that flaty surface hit?

Not really  just was focusing on casting in a certain area that the bream school up in and ambush bait as the tide floods in. The flatty was a welcome bonus
