Flathead City At The Pin

[Creek_Vermin]

Hit the pin this morn with my bro chris and mate phil in search of new spots in the flattie classic. Found fish early but the quality was av. After 20 rats and a couple of nice fish we moved around and chris got a 72 at tipplers. This was no ordinary fish as the plak had completely disapeared inside it's stomach. The photo shows what we had to deal with and it's the first time I've ever had to cut a lure off to release a lizard. Pretty sad as the chance of the flatty pushing it out is very low. Continued on and caught a heap more rats everywhere we went with the biggest being 76. We pulled the pin early this rvo as phil nailed number 40. Plenty of numbers but the size was ordinary. All up it was a good day with plenty of new spots found for us pin haters. Theres not another place on earth where we could catch 40 flatties and still not enjoy ourselves. I hate the pin! Thank god for tipplers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers

Great Pics & story Creek Vermin, but why do you hate the pin so much?
40 fish, do you think you can maintain it 4 the classic?

Jason- Yeah mate were in the galeforce. howd you go

Toppy- we could catch a hundred of the rats we got today and still not make top ten. hopefully the quality improves by october. Hate the pin cause there seems to be an excessive amount of wankers in one particular area. It's unfortunate that the area holdsgood numbers of lizards. Judging by francos reports there some big girls getting around. Lets hope they hang around for a while yet

Great session there CV and nice pics.
Don't be so sure about the survival of the flattie though because I've caught a fair few with hooks in their guts that were still healthy. They were healthy enough to slam a lure anyway. Good to see you gave the big girl the benefit of the doubt.

Hopefully it lives mate. A couple of years ago my bro scored a lizard in the classic on a prawnstar that had a slavko bug wedged across its gob. came complete with barnacles and hooks that almost didnt exist. The fish measured 55 and was healthy. did it a favour and got rid of the bug. Impreesive and hungry fish the flatty. they never cease to amaze

Just recognised your boat in the pic i cruised past you blokes when you were flickin at the little island up from couran.

i went alright, nothing to really write home about though. Thats a nice rig u got.

couldnt believe the amount of flattyholics on the water this morning.

hey guys do you realise that creek vermin is calling all of you boys wankers because you fish at the pin too , Boys put your egos to the side and get on and enjoy your fishing .thats why i moved to NQ because your all getting to bloody serious and the attidude on the water gave me the shits . You know i had a boat drift past me yesterday as i was having a flick and they pulled up threw me a beer and had a yarn as far as im concerned thats fishing.
My ten cents
