Flatty's Galore

[BLOOEY]

Went down the coast today with the kyac. Fished a small creek for a few hours, paddling to banks and then tying the yak to my leg so i could wade around without it floating away. Then jump back on and paddle to the next bank. Great way to explore the small creeks . Scored 20+ flattys for a few hours all pretty small about40cm. One little dropoff i found produced 8 in consecutive casts with a little rios prawn. Great way to spend the day. Ben

Sounds like a fun session Ben. I'm hoping to start targetting a few myself in the passage soon on my kayak, if this wind ever dies off. Do you just give the rio flicks and jumps like a plastic when you target flatties? I have one of the larger ones but I only ever seemed to get bloody pike on it!

It was fun indeed joel. The Rios are an absolute flatty killer , Yep i work mine just as i would a plastic but they also work really well if you just drag them along the bottom aswell. Big whiting also have a crack at the smaller ones but a speedier retrieve with lots of jerks is the go for them. Gotta love the kayak fishing. Get into em. Ben
