Had a great time up at Fraser again on the Jetty at Kingfisher.

Live herring were hard to find but when we did the big old girls were jumping on them.

Wife caught her first and then PB'd it twice with a nice 73cm released (see pic)

We ended up with 8 rangeing from 55 cm up to 78cm
Three were released to fight another day.

One day on the jetty saw three seperate occasions where large flatties were caught by accident in cast nets.
Right on dusk the biggest was caught at 110cm!!!!! Have pic but doesnt do it justice.

Some nice lizards there Van!! That 110cm model looks a dead set monster!!! Should have laid the big girl down on a tape and taken the pic for documentation! In a cast net as well. LOL!! ;D

Thanks guys

The missus is stoked with the PB.
Would you believe she even wants me to go shopping and upgrade her gear now! (you dont need to tell me twice to head to the tackle shop)

I wouldnt have believed those flathead in cast nets if I hadnt seen it with my own eyes. Truely amazing.
