gold coast flattie

[bryansen]

g'day first time chater bryan

went fishing at gold coast 2/7/06 took mum and dad fishing in my new boat had couldn't find a boat ramp open due to a fun run or samething had a look around the seaway for an hour or so the old man could try his new popper around the north wall he needed to get the hang of them as they were going to weipa in 2 week . no good on the north wall so i took them up to east side crab island fishin with sp (in training for the flathead classic thats what i tell my wife ) pop sat his 2' grab on the bottom (sp)not knowing but a 30cm flattie took it BUT also not knowing a even bigger flattie took that she was pushing 1m long i guess she came to boat twice and then she spat little flattie out and swam away
but ended up bagging out on flatties all went back (can't get them all befor the classic ) fished from 0700 to 1130

im looking for the big girl tomorrow 23/7

Well done on the flatties Bryan. When I was a kid my dad and his mate took me down to the pin. Bob(his work mate) catch a small flattie near the sand bank near short island. While bringing it in another very big flattie swallowed the smaller one whole and fortunately the hook stuck. When he pulled the big girl in the small flattie was still inside her mouth. Back in those days there was no regs about putting big girls back so he got 2 flatties for the price of one. I dont think i have ever seen anything so amazing and definiately didnt think I would hear about it again.

Welcome aboard mate looking forward to many posts. BTW when is the flattie classic?

Bryansen,

shhhhh! Don't tell everyone about the monster flatty secret bait!

Seriously, that happened to me a couple of years ago, hooked a small 30cm'ish flatty on a renosky shad and then got monstered by a 95cm flatty on the way in(she wasn't even hooked, just didn't want to let go of dinner!)

When I slid her up the sand, she coughed out mr baby flatty who had the plastic well down inside his mouth. I took a quick measurement against my rod and pushed her back in the water, then unhooked the little guy and sent him on his way.

Not many people believe this story when I tell them but it just goes to show you what gutses those big mama flatties are.

Welcome BRYAN!

The last flattie i caught (2 weeks ago) still had a little happy moment (Black Trev) flapping in its mouth when i landed it on a whole squid! We duly sent the little happy moment out as a livie to which it had its head ripped off but to have a 30cm flatty inhaled is something else!

Take Care T
