To date I have managed to bring a fish aboard every time I have taken "Sea~Puppy" out.
Saturday proved a hard day. I was on the water by 3.30am and the conditions were great, just a little wind, no swell, no chop...
Drifted around scotts point for no touches before moving to a different spot a couple of hours later. This proved as fruitless!
I was getting concerned at this point that my good run was about to come to an end!
In desperation to bring a (please! Anything!) fish aboard, I decided a move to hayes inlet in the hope a few drifts there would provide me with a flathead, (with a bit of luck!)
First drift down from the marker and bang!, yes a little bang... a small flathead about 14cm long!
He was carefully released (only just hooked thru the lip) and I was happy - record intact!
Got back to the ramp around 7.30 - 8.00 and loaded the boat back on. As I was driving up the ramp, I discovered a winch handle. If it's yours, PM me or if you can't PM (and you'd like it back!) leave a message here with some way I can contact you!
