Hi all,

Went out early Saturday to fish the Pin with my brother in law and another mate to chase some flathead.

Got to the Pin mouth by 6.15am and it was already chockers. All the boats were parked up on each other and as we didn't have an electric motor, we decided to fish the bank/ledge between the mouth and Kalinga Bank as we kept seeing schools of bait on the sounder with some decent archers through the school. In the first hour we were there, we landed 10 flathead. Mixed bag in the way of size but we managed 3 fish over the 65cm mark (2 at 65cm, 1 at 75cm) and all the others ranged from 40-55cm. One of the 65cm fish was caught right on the bank in less then a foot of water!!

Ended up catching 20 flathead for the day and kept 4 (of the smaller ones) for a feed.

All fish were caught on either Z-Man 3.5 inch Trick Swimz, or 7 inch jerkshads.

The Pin is firing at the moment!

Cracking report mate, some nice flatties there, well done. No by-catch?

Just in time for the flathead classic next week. My boss was out there but they only got 7. He went to the seminar at Doug Burt's a couple of weeks ago and the flathead guru (forget his name) says most of the big lizards will be caught in that foot of water depth.

Mate what a day! Well done. You should enter the Wynnum Fishing Classic and take out the Flathead category!

Champion Angler can win a Stella 5000 and there are 2 boats up for grabs.
