Peel Island Weekend

[lunatic]

G'day Ausfishers!
Well I went to Peel on the weekend with the "Friends of Peel Island" to work on the old Lazeret site, and as a last moment decision threw in a rod and some plastics. After a long day of work we headed down to Horseshoe bay for a well earned drink and to watch the sunset. I rigged up my rod with a 3" Gulp Pumpkinseed and had a bit of a flick. Fourth cast and I was on to a 35cm bartail flathead. This is the first fish I have caught on plastics, and now I know that they work, I am beginning to sway toward the dark side! After showing the rest of the group I let the little fella go to fight another day.
Cheers!

What crappy pic.....oh.....that one ;D Just kidding mate well done, once you get your first they start to come more frequently...it's all about confidence in the lure. Whenever I am landbased I fish for flatties :)

You have a keen eye indeed! Had to have the beer in my pocket as I needed both hands for fishing! What a great afternoon it was.
