Pine - Saved by the bell, and a muddy or two

[Lapras]

After being inspired by Baitwaster I decided to head to the Pine in search of flathead. Went with a mate after work, dropped my pots and headed to the mouth just after dark.

My mate doesn't fish so I was keen to put him onto something. Fished plastics around the pilongs and on the edge of the drop-offs for no result. Also had a pilly and a big prawn floating out the back. We had very few touches, he only got one small bream and we managed the smallest tailor ever on the pilly - I have no idea how it got the gang in its mouth.

Decided to drift the creek for a while, again no touches, so called it a night and pulled the pots.

1st pot - undersized buck

2nd pot - jenny

3rd pot - untouched


mounting disappointment and much philosophy about a great night on the water ...

Last pot - eureka Two bucks, a jenny and a very happy mate.
