Madmic's Fish Of The Month Competition: September 2016

[Madmic]

Nice! I can't wait to see the entries and have a good read too 

[Old Scaley]

Brian must have high expectations for today. There were more laughs than fish yesterday. We will give it a crack today though.

[Angus]

I had a little crack yesterday but no luck.

[ellicat]

I had a little crack but then I ate too much.

[Madmic]

Is anyone else having trouble seeing the pics in the thread or is it just me?

Same here. Something happened the other day, maybe a week ago, and at least a few threads have been affected. I'll let John know.

[Old Scaley]

Don't tell me you can't see that pic of my 92 cm flathead??? I didn't keep a copy.

[Old Scaley]

^^ I thought adding extra photos might get me extra points.

[ellicat]

I'll fix it.

 

EDIT
On 2nd thought, I'm gonna leave it for giggles.

[Madmic]

That's a great catch Old Scaley!! 1cm for every extra photo puts you just short of the winning fish for the month 

Good fun was had though

Hi all,

Some great catches came in this month for Flathead. It was great to see so many of you getting into the spirit of things and having some fun along the way.

Unfortunately I still cannot view the photos submitted so will have to wait for the new dad Angus before we move ahead this month.

 

Congratulations to all those who entered and we will announce the winners and this months fish soon

Re post

 

I didn't get out on Father's Day so I got up early this morning and got an 1.5hrs fishing in before work. Only one other boat out was in the water so I quickly started flicking the banks. Had few nudges and then a tailor slashed the paddle tail so things were looking promising. Next I tried a smaller Gobbler curl tail and caught the smaller of the 2 flathead and placed it in the live bait tank. Then stepped up the size of the lure to a 4" paddle tail and the next fish was a bit bigger. It joined the other one in the live bait tank till I finish the session and had to make a dash for home. I could not be bothered cleaning the fish tonight after work so I released both of them. I didn't expect to target Flathead this month but when time is short they are good bet. 

Angler Wayne

Species Flathead

Where Pine River

Size 1@ 42.5cm and 1 @ 51.5cm

[Madmic]

Thanks guys,

Aaahh yes I remember...a number of entries that didn't quite fit the rules. No proper measurement, no thumbs up and a mangled fish. I might cope some flack for this but the rules are there and I really can't go soft on them this month and then not the next...when will it end

This month @Luvit will get the full free lure prize as his entry was the only one that ticked all the boxes.

However if @helibase, @EZY and @timtam_ (on behalf of Tika) place an order i will give you a free pack of soft plastics too for your efforts.

Please guys and gals lets remember to follow ALL of the requirements if you wish to put an entry in the comp .

Awaiting backlash 

Madmic

[kmcrosby78]

No backlash I'd imagine @Madmic, sticking to the rules should save arguments in the long run. They'll understand   Well done @Luvit   Geez how your team needed you for Suburbs of Origin ......

[Luvit]

Wow thanks Mic, 

Well that was a surprise and a half. It was worth getting up early for a quick fish before work.
