Up at 3:30am and hit Currimundi Lake by 4am. spent the next 2 hours paddling around trolling, casting, bottom bouncing for not a touch. Thought bugger it and threw the Yak back on the Triton and headed for my usual haunts in the passage. Drifted over the weed beds for the next few hours and pulled in 12 flatties. GULP minnows did the damage on the majority of them. Best results were just at top of the tide and the change over to to run out around 7:30am. I had found a fair patch of open yabbie bank surounded by weed about the size of a large resort style swimming pool. Only in abot 2ft of water. I would throw in close to the weed and sure enuff about every 2nd cast I would get a hit. A lot of fun but no real size. Only 2 over 40cm but they all went back. (Hence no pics on the brag mat). So it would seem the fishery down my way is very healthy with young faltties ready to get a bit bigger in the next couple of years.

Think I may try for a jewwy under the bridge in the morning. Need some protection from the rain for a bit ;););)

Good to see that you are covering some territory Funchy.

Currimundi would be pretty susceptible to the fresh if it has been raining a bit up there wouldn't it? (We hope that the Lake can fish OK, because that is where we will be living in the not too distant future :))

Sounds like you found a nice little spot in the weeds, be interesting to see how it goes next spawning season for some bigger ones...

Great to see your local waterway so healthy, I had a similar encounter with flathead where they were on the chew like winter whiting every throw came up with a small flathead. I was amazed as I've never seen so many lizards in the one spot, as softplastidude79 says they must have been in plagues. Cheers mate
