pine River private fishing comp

[philip_thomson]

The Team from work organised a private flathead comp in the pine river today, fishing between the bears boat hire and the bruce highway bridge with plastics and hard bodies. i started the day unsure on the plastics but willing to give it ago, it didn;t take long for the first flathead of the day and my first plastic caught fish and first fish on the t curve comp. we ended up with 3 fish for the boat and a total of 6 flathead for the 5 boats fishing.

the plastic that did it for me was a 4 inch powerbait in pumpkinseed with a 1/4 1H tt jig head. sure was a great day and can;t wait for the next plastics trip. im slowly converting to the dark side

Cheers Phil

Hey phil. PUMPKINSEED??? cmon mate i think you made a mistake there haha. Yer me and phil teamed up for the comp and although we didnt nail the flatties there was a bit of size to them and there was some good fights. There was also a few undersize flatties about. A variety of squidgees also worked for myself and other boats. Fresh fish for dinner tonight phil ;)
Good trip and hope to get back out there soon. The pine always provides a flathead on its worst day and if you ever want to catch a pike the pine is the spot with many many of them today ;D.
Next mission is to target the bream for a few sessions until I can get some under my belt on SP's...only one as yet.
Cheers

Actually they do Jacksta haha. Usually its just a few head shakes and thats about it but atm its a good fight, especially when you didnt bring a landing net and your landing flatties with buckets ;D. Good fun that was.
