Well didn't the weather play it's part this weekend. 

Headed to Hays Inlet with Tika and my younger brother on Sunday morning and was fishing by 8:00am. 

Tika nabbed two good flathead going 44 and 43 cm respectively. It was quite a proud moment for me when she let me in on her secret - she had taken it upon herself to SLOWLY wind her prawn across the bottom, resulting in the two fish. It's good to see, after all the trips, that she'll soon be a true angler of her own accord. Before heading off, I managed to christen my NS Favourite on a baby flatty. He hardly put a bend in the rod!!!

Also managed to finish off my casting deck on Saturday before the rain hits. I have many trips planned - but not enough time to do them all. Bass at Borumba, Threadies at the Port, Mackeral at the Beacons, Flathead on the Goldy, and Jacks on the Sunny Coast!! All of which I know will hold fish, it's just a matter of putting enough time into each pursuit to reap the benefits.

ive heard a lot of people has success with just letting the plastic creep every so slowly along the bottom

Yeah mate I always leave a plastic deadstick. The number of times you will go to wind it in and find a fish on the end...

You forgot to say "again" 

[Luvit]

I did but then deleted it.

Don't know you well enough to start stirring you up.

 I can give it out just as well as I can take it! I love a good bit of niggle.

Oh well, sorry, I'm getting old and the memory is failing big time.

That sounds like a pretty fun session to me, always nice to get a few fish! Sounds like a few good plans you've got lined up too. You should add snapper at the bay islands and tuna off bribie on the list on a good weather day , its quite hilarious slapping a big chunk of fish on the deck of a tiny boat. I used to do that trip regularly.

Those Nordic favourites can cop a beating too. They perform like a higher quality rod but at a ridiculous price, so my favourites are always the ones left on the deck and I've lost count how many times ive stepped on them and fish flapping around on top of them hahah awesome little rods.

Not many left now. But thanks for the words @samsteele115   Still clearing the last couple of dozen at the 50 price. Sounds like heaps but not when we over a k of them.

Awesome report @timtam_. Nothing like a feed of fresh flatty.

Wouldn't have the foggiest on how to target Longtail!! Followed you on instagram earlier this week - are you mates with any of the local lads in Pat Lawson, or any of the Renouf's?
Hopefully I'll have a chance to try out the whole big fish slapping on the deck thing...
