Species in a single session

[kc]

I know Weipa is pretty much the gold standard for salt water flats fishing in Australia but my little corner of the Whitsundays has to be a close second in the right conditions. 10 last saturday all in less than 3 feet of water. Jack, Pickey bream, cod, barracuda, GT, Golden, Giant Herring, Queenfish, swallow tail dart and a bonefish, plus 30 or 40 casts at permit.

Well done Kev.
All that's missing are Black and White Tips, Bulls, Tigers, Hammerheads and Whites.
You may need to get into a little deeper water and closer to some of the visitor burley trails tho.

Mmm! Enough said. Not big on sharks on the "long wand".

Be an "interesting" kind of fly you would have to tie if you were "matching the hatch" of late.

[Chimo]

Can you tie a liver fly?

Cracked the code yesterday on same flats...can now tick permit off the bucket list with 5 in a session.

Nailed over a dozen ( can't remember number exact ) at Innes Head ( Turkey Beach ) about 10 years ago. I'll look for photos. Bait / boat fishing in 3 meters of water and less. Everything from Cod, Bream, Squire, Jack, Trevor, Moses, Flathead, Grunter and on the way back a big MoFo mack Tuna. 8-);D;D

Just waching some cuba you youtube "stuff" on you tube about permit and seems like 2 in a day is a big deal. Getting 10 to 15 in 3 hours here right now.....just maybe the whitsundays is actually the worlds best prrmit on fly fishery. Last weekend actuaaly got 4 in 4 casts amongst 12 in a 2 hour session.

Donnybrook today. Bream, tarwhine, whiting, flathead, Moses perch, parrot, grassy sweetlip, long Tom, stingray. Unusual not to get a grunter which would have made 10.

unfamiliar with Permit. had to look it up , never seen the offspring from a GT and queenfish before. looks a pretty and powerful fish. big fork tail i reckon they must go hard out.

Nup. Just a similar session to what Phil mentioned a couple posts previous. Thought that would be obvious. Sorry if you misunderstood.
