queensland More Schultz Breaming By Catch

[Dan23]

I was trying for a Cod but not a touch. Kev got a bream so I had a crack at power breaming. Sure enough caught yet another flatty. Kev had next cast and got one too. Mine was 64cm or and Kev's was 57cm I think. Faulked and his mate were there so he might remember the sizes better.

Faulked can tell the funny story that goes along with these flatties too if he sees this. [img size=375]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/bream.jpg

[Dan23]

Just wind in really slowly usually works. The bream were quiet today but I wasn't targetting them till my last cast of the day lol:P

[kevinchen19870316]

[Mack_attack]

Some great fish all from the same spot. well done. Kev's 57cm is the same as my record at shultz.

Edit: Looks nice and glassy there awell would have been a great arvo.

after a long afternoon without a touch, faulked and his mate were just about to go. then........

" ok, so we should call it a day?"(dan)

"er.........maybe, it's up to u" (me)

"yeah.....wait, just let me quickly grap a fish" (dan)

" quickly? " (faulked's mate, sorry, i don't remember name well)

5 seconds later...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............

[MichaelJ]

why do u think we gotta go when the fish just started to bite:laugh:

[Dan23]

yeah, the camera flash made it look darker than what it was. We were leaving just as the mozzies really came on. Pitty about the mozzies and derros @ schultz cause it'd really go off there at night. That's why we need Lee and his Gigantism and Mackmauler and his Knife to come play security :laugh:

[MichaelJ]

[pinkey]

Nice flatty's the one in kevins picture looks way bigger than 57 .

[STU]

[kriso]

Yeah, he's perfected holding his fish out to the camera to make them look way bigger than what they are lol.

I forgot this pic of mine on the measure. faulked took a few photos too so he might have a few to post as well. [img size=375]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/measure-d85d4e9d6b257c9a1ab9688e405671de.jpg

They are some good lizards guys well done. Looks like a solid bream as well.

Did they go back?

Angus

[Dan23]

Yeah my bigger one went back, even went to the trouble of climbing down the rocks for a comfort release:) . Kev's been throwing heaps of good fish back lately but he kept his flattie and let the bream swim away like most the bream he catches.

I've never kept a fish I've caught in Schultz Canal or Nudgee Creek.

[kevinchen19870316]

the bream's probably not even legal. like dan said, i held them forward to make them look WAY BIGGER than they actually were. lol

the bream and dan's flattie went back and mine was kept. :evil: some ppl must be mad at me again.

[Angus]

Na not at all. I love eating flatties. My only concern would be eating them from thast creek? I wonder if all the rain has helped it flush out. Or if all the rain has flushed a whole lot a crap in there. There are a lot of factories and stuff not far upstream. Aside from that, if its over 40 and under 70 go for it.

Angus

[kriso]

yeah i love flatties baked with some lemon and pepper and touch of garlic salt mmmmm!

[Rocket75]

Nice fish boys. You'd just about be on first name basis with the locals down there by now hey? :silly: They must be sick of seeing you two.

Kev, a mans gotta eat, I reckon there's nothing wrong with taking a feed now and then, especially when you return so many. Hope it tastes as good as it looks.

Rocket

[kevinchen19870316]

it tastes pretty good and hopefully i am healthy enough to go catch some barra this sunday. lol

thanks guys for the positive comments. i keep legal fish most times as dan probably know. but i never keep too many ( and i never catch too many, ha) and i never keep fish in others' spot Xs without permission.

[Cowfish13]

Some impressive Flathead there guys:)

Also in the spot where you caught them, just about 20m upstream beside the pole thingie is where I stuffed up my leg:silly:

Yeah, the wind dropped out late in the arvo. I actually tried a popper for a while when I noticed how glassy it had gotten but didn't have any luck.

[pcsolutionman]

nice guys, U sure your not just scared of the dark dan??? dont go blaming the mozzies lol

Lee

[kevinchen19870316]

the mozzies r just terrible..... i had them covering my arm and neck when making the "last cast before heading back"

[username_taken]

nice fish guys! my crazy hours @ work are almost over for a while so should be able to start making appearances again.

I don't think there's anything wrong with eating the fish from Schultz, I doubt they stay in the one spot for long, and when you see the shit conditions the 'nile perch' or 'basa' sold at woolies live in, schultz looks pretty clean.

[kevinchen19870316]

paul.....I JUST HAD BASA FILLET AT SIZZLER for lunch and i was having flattie fillet from shultz 2hrs ago...

[faulked]

hang on mate ill just catch a quick fish says dan and kev after 2hrs walking the bank mostly unsucesfully 2casts later out pops two big fat flatties i think gob smacked would be the word to use here "to many kids around for what i really said " these two really are a class act talk about funny good on ya guy just proves the worth of those sx's like a complete tool i left my lures at home on the bench doh but still worth watch the kev and dan show

ha, nice one, jason

[Leeann]

Lovely flathead but I think people need to be aware of how to handle fish with care if you're going to release them. Don't worry, I'm not having a go at anyone as these forums are a great source of information as we all learn from them.

Boga grips are fantastic but please support the fish's weight/body with your other hand so you don't damage the fish. Yes, it may swim away if strung up by the grips with no support but it may not survive.

Some magazines I write for won't even publish photos of people holding fish with boga grips because of the damage caused to the fish.

I've included a couple of links to websites so that people can catch and release fish with the confidence that they will survive

Cheers

Leeann
