Took my mate Paul out for a fish on his Galeforce yesterday since it hasn't been wet in way too long. Poor bastrard hadn't even used his electric for a fish since last flathead classic! After some recent success on big flatties I promised to help get his boat slimy and stinky, as well as wet!! So I poured a bucket of pigs guts and tuna oil chum all over his deck ...... well ok I didn't but........

Picked up another mate and off we went. Absolutely magic, sun-drenched weather with glassy water, some good fish and plenty of piss-taking as well. Took him to a spot that's been working for me lately and He scored a nice fat 83cm on an atomic fat grub (I call em "gumby grubs" as even Paul can score good fish on em with minimal action!)

Caught plenty more in the 50-70cm range and kept a few for the pan. Back home for lunch!

Been heaps of fish in the middle sections of the broadwater guys so go get em! The pin was fishing crap a few weeks ago so didn't try there. These fish came from around the aldershots and tipplers passage areas on the incoming tide. Look for back-eddy's near weed beds that have bait there as well. The spots change from week to week depending on where the bait is I guess?? But from recent other reports here they're definitley eating!! Anyone tried the pin lately?

Tight Lines.

Franco,

Make sure you leave a few for us poor Flathead Classic fishos ;D. Another great session for you - it will be a shame if you can't fish it this year as you certainly seem to be able to find them at the moment.

As you probably know I was up the Pin last Saturday and managed 14, but only two legal (although one was a cracker). My mate went on the Sunday and only managed a handful - they really are patchy at the moment!

Hey Franco nice fish mate.

I was going to venture down that way today but stayed around the pin. Got there around 9. I tryed some new areas to find some more spots for the flathead classic. I managed 8 fish between 45cm and 64cm. I also dropped 2 at the boat that were in their 50's. Hard job trying to net fish on light line when your by yourself. Got a little blowy around 12 so headed home.

If you keep up your form of late you might knock Greeny off ;D

Cheers Whytey
