Well, 3:30am start, no wind, low tide around 5am, water quality seemed to have improved greatly from last week. It seemed other than the full moon there should be no reason a few fish couldn't be enticed.......
Well, no fish! not even an under size.... NOT EVEN A BITE!!!!
Oh well, I had a pretty good run didn't I?
Going out wide in the morning, hope to do a hell of a lot better.
How you going Funchy, I'm in the same boat as you no much around. I suppose on the positive side, it's always good to get out. Hope you bag out in the morning.
Good things come to those who bait
Yes Funchy, you did have a very good run.. but I'm sure you'll find those flathead again soon
Let us know how the other fishing goes...
Managed just one flathead @ 41cm this morning just north of the powerboat club on a 4in Powerbait (pumpkinseed with sparkles) - only lure I seem to be able to catch flathead on.
Had a crack at the mouth early (5am - 7am) in the hope of a trevally or something but to no avail. Moved up to north of the powerboat club and after an hour of trying some top water hard bodies with a few follows (whiting) and lost a few plastics to something that was chasing bait (choppers?). Finally enticed a flatty at about 8:50am - went 41cm and if it wasn't for him swallowing the plastic a long long way down I probably would've let him go.

I liked your post Funchy, because you put it out there that you didn't do any good.
Nice and honest.

I was in the passage on Monday morning fishing the top of the tide and not one fish from any of my favourite spots. Spent about 5 hours flckin plastics and hard bodys for a few hits and no hookups. I think all the rain has upset them in a big way.
Hard luck Funchy, but it is nice to see that you can also catch donuts
Mackerel are more fun than flatties anyway mate....
No luck for me either Funchy and I was a the spot at 4:30am. I only got a few good photos and one hard hit with a zzzzzzzzzzzz and it spat my plastic I figured it for a trevally.
Well maybe its not so bad. Seems most of us struggled today.
I have been studying MuddyT. Seems the more i study the more there is to learn. Still, it should be fun and thanks for the pearls of wisdom mate.
No pearls mate....just a bit of an insight, good luck and if at first you don't succeed....................
No worries funchy buddy you'll get em next time mate...i went out early myself before heading out with davo...bout 3:30am down the usual dohles flicked for bout 2hrs nothing was firing them everywhere, but nothing, so i moved bout 20m down then one cast one flick and i was on!! but!! wasn't a flatty this time but a 40cm javlin wow never thought i'd get one those on a prawnstar hahahaha oh well tried a couple more but nothing so left to head to davo's..
