[nuggstar]

im waiting to see this fish too, beer man.

[struktcha_man]

72cm, not as big as some of the monster lizzards on here but still my biggest.
Caught at wooli on a gang hook with a pilly in the surf shallows after taylor.
a big sandy I reckon.

struktcha man, just for future reference, a sure fire way to tell if you've got a dusky or mud flathead, which are currently governed by a 70cm max size rule, which will be increased to 75cm in March 2009, is to have a look at the tail or caudal fin. Duskies will have a small, nearly perfectly round black dot, where as sand flatties don't. Not saying that what you have there is not a sandy as you've said, but you don't want to be caught out as the colourations of flatties a greatly differ depending what sort of bottom you caught it on. But a good fish none the less, well done. Looks like you had to have a bit of a swim to get it though...lol

Some great fish. Still eager to see this 110cm fish. There was a picture of a 101cm fish on Saltwater chat recently of the fish on a brag mat. It didn't seem to get that much attention for the calibre of the fish :s
Scott nthQLD, wooli is on the north coast of NSW where there isn't a maximum size limit for duskies. Perfectly legal fish.

yeah thanks

was caught in NSW at wooli last Christmas and I am sure it was legal then as you where allowed to keep flatties over 70cm then in NSW.

I was actually trying my luck in the surf for a Taylor on a gang hook and pilly and caught this guy, in reasonably shallow surf about a meter or so deep, must have been hunting the baitfish.

cheers

[sandbankmagnet]

sand flatties have a rounder head and their complection is more like freckled than blotchy.

if I was a betting man, you've got a dusky there.

nice fish anyhow.
