Sounds like you found the silver lining on this trip Mooky. Always good when you find a new spot that produces. Let alone when you hook up to some nice lizards. Good old reliable lizards. They'll lurking there next time for you too mate, hopefully after that big girl has spawned. Well done.:D

Nice report mate and good to hear the Logan has some fish. All times I have been there its been chocolate brown for the most part and never caught a thing!

Nothing at the Gazebo eh... You know aa couple times I been there I have sounded some structure about 75m SSW of the Gazebo in about 8m of water. Dunno what it is but its always there... Nothing big size wise but worth looking for... Might be hiding some fish.

Any clues as to where you found the flatties?

i like fishing a really low tide on the run in at ageston sands (sp?) i have not had real luck on a run out as you said its chocolate ,
i look for some freshly flooded banks as you go around towards mark rocks and sit behind the bank put in real long casts up into the shallow and bounce it back into the depper water ,
i caught those flatties waiting for a feed to get washed over the bank into the deep at the western end

tonights tide would be worth a shot again , ill be there if can get some time
hope that helped
ps take your mozzie repelant , :o thats for sure ,,,,,

Not often someone gets agitated by catching good fish. Careful what you wish, you just might get it.;D

Mate - I will glady swap you for the bay anyday. :). Dont ask me how the fish see the bait in the first place. But the logan always produces good flathead and whitting, Ive got a few monster tailor and jew aswell (i wouldnt eat anything from there though). If you drift the shallows along the prawn farms and near the big pipe you'll get em. And just before marks rocks after the sandbanks. But the BIG girls always hang around the mouth on the yabby mudflats off to the left there. Usually they are hunting in ambush groups at the same place. So when you get 1, redo the same place in a grid pattern and you'll get a few more.
