queensland Coloundra (Golden Beach) 12/11

[Gerty_92]

Hey guys.

went to golden beach today to have a fish of the pontoon there. i rigged up and had a squidgy fish in gary glitter as my weapon. casted in and first the first jig wam i hook onto a nice 45cm flattie which will now be my dinner. afer that my brother caught a little 19cm bream on a 2\" power minnow in pseed. Then on our way home we were driving past pelican waters and i know a person who lives on it and catches big unknown fish and from what he told me a still couldnt figue them out. so anyway rocked up there and nothing was really happening so i decided to call it quits and right then on my last cast just mucking around prtending to troll my 55mm RMG scorpian i hook onto a nice little trevally. so overall not a bad day of fishing

Good stuff, that bream must of been hardly bigger than the plastic! Its amazing how some of those small mouthed fish can suck in a big bait.

[Gerty_92]

ye i know ive caught a barely legal size bream whilst fishing for flathead with a 5inch shad looked really funny. btw the flathead tasted good.

Glad it did, Flathead were my favorite fish when I was younger, used to target them in the surf gutters specifically. Knees cant take beach fishing anymore though (and they say playing sport is good for you!), so been probably 20 years since I caught one!

The ones in the surf are different from the ones in the bay and rivers, they are striped and very light coloured rather than dark, and I reckon taste cleaner.

Nice little Big Eye. They were pestering Ando and I at Noosa on Sunday. They just wouldn't take any lure we put in front of them. They would rather follow it for about 5m before swimming off . Doesn't really matter since we changed spots and found some nice Queenies which was fun!
