9/7/2016 flatties
With the beautiful weather forecast the missus and I decided to launch the boat.
We launched after lunch and it only took us 10 minutes to reach our spot.
Started a drift in 5 metres and put out 2 bait rods while flicking a soft plastic each as well.
Wasn't long before the first flattie was on board.
Ended up with a total of 14 flatties. The bait of choice today was pippies.
The softplastics that did the damage were the powerbait minnows in the pumpkin seed colour and 4 inches in size.
We were on the water for around 2 hours.
Was a magnificent day on the water.
Cheers,
LX.

Re: 9/7/2016 flatties
I remember that, I still haven't tried the spots we discussed and it's to cold for floundering now, I'll give the flat fish a try when it warms up a little ..

Re: 9/7/2016 flatties
Yea although I have got some nice ones throughout winter as well. But until I get a new pair of waders I don't think I will be wading in cold water lol my flounder light also blew its globe and I still haven't gotten around to fixing that either :rofl:
Definitely looking forward to it in the warmer months again :thumbsup:
