Flathead Classic Bah Humbug PPPPffffffffttttttt!

[Franco]

Well really would have liked to be able to go in it this yr - but sorta glad I haven't! Too much on so decided to catch up with one of my best lifelong mates, teach him a few luring tricks and get away from the crowds.

What can I say - Had a magic day, beautiful clean green water (instead of broadwater brown soup!) saw only 3 other boats, ribs hurting from laughter and smashed the flatties!! Biggest only 68cm but heaps of 'em and most over 50. Great to see my mate Lucky get a few good fish too.
Then got dusted by a jack in spectacular fashion at the end - went home licking my wounds that's for sure!
For that whole 0.5 of a second I really gave it to him though

You FC boys out there can have the classic to yourselves HaHa!

You know a psychiatrist would suggest you are suffering from "Flatty Classic" envy and are over compensating to fill that void.

Mike my wife's a psychiatrist and that's exactly what she said LOL! Revenge has been sweet though .... in the form of flatty fillets in golden crumbs with a sweet chilli and ginger sauce

As I'm inside at work today I really DO have Flathead Classic envy that's for sure!

Tell her I'll split my fee for the diagnosis with her. The "steaming crock" is a whole other issue though, she can have that one on her own LOL!

Lets just say it was sorta like a scene from Dave Attenbourough's Planet Earth similar to Lava hitting the ocean water! Both myself and Lucky are booked in for therapy. :-)

Yes, with the subtlety of a killer whale smashing a seal pup on some isolated beach in Alaska

Bondy mostly used 3/8th ounce jig head with 3 inch plastics. On the day used Z Mans paddle tails and grubs but any plastic with a good wiggle tail or paddle on it that sinks quickly and straight will do. WRT vibes used 1/8th to 3/8th oz blades of any brand - I use TT and some expensive Jap brand just coz that's what is in the box!
