After hearing reports of spanish and longtails around the headland yesterday, decided to have a quick troll round the headland before work this morning.

Nothing but crab bait!! >:( >:(

managed 5 mac tuna and a few watsons bonito, before we decided to chuck a few softies in the estuary. Dropped a very big flattie right at the shore, I estimated to be around the 900mm mark!!
Landed and released about a dozen, and Josh (my son) spotted a few nice squid and managed to score one for dinner.

Makes the day seem a lot better anyway ;)

Regards, Tony

at least the macs would've given you a bit of curry, unlucky about the flatty.

Yeah, That flatty would have been a personal best for me.
Been a heap of big girls around, might get another shot.

Good on ya tony, nothing like a fish before work to make the day go better ;) :) . Pity about the flatty , i'm sure over the next few weeks you will get another crak at one. Those dam mac tuna are mongrels of things, however saying that , 1. they do make excellent crab bait and 2. they pull drag to give you some fun when nothing else is hungry. So i guess a few mac tuna is better than not turning a reel!

Thats great looking little tinny you have there, will that be coming with you on your journey down to my neck of the woods?

Yeah JB
Crab bait is not a bad way to start the day, they sure pull hard.
The tinnie will be coming with me for sure mate, got a lot of jack hunting to be done down that way ;) I'll be looking for some local tips ::) ::)

I still have one of Josh's ''fishing tips for 1770'' booklets from about 5 years ago[I think Josh would of been about 10?]. No wonder Tony, is finally coming along with his fishing ;)
