gold fish - at the flat,s
November 03, 2008, 10:43:08 PM
hi every one .

i was told to have 2 day off work by the boss cos it was a bit slow at work . so i looked up the weather and said hmmmm let,s go fishing for the long weekend so i packed my car and  went away up north .

did two day fishing at the flat . so i hired a boat to fish and camping as well . i have spoted a group of 4-8 of goldie swiming around over the shallow about 6-9 time it was great to see them . i have been chasing them all over the shallow  . it was great fun . had a two great day on the water too . let the picture do all the talking  ;D

first one was 8.5kg
2nd one went 9.2kg 
3rd one went 10.7kg
4th one went 25-30kg under water
took 150m run from my twinpower reel .
swam away under water
nice day on the water  :)

i bet i will go back again for sure . maybe some one can tag along with me and fish again  ;)

thank you for looking at my report  ;) :D

cheers mick

Hey Bro -


What's with the "Simity Sam" look - no razor ah ?

Boy did you go to the right place. Very nice indeed. Those Goldens are soooo much fun in the shallows arnt they, next time do your drag up on the shimano and he may not go as far  :P

Well done, next time call me ah - arrrr - text me anyway  ;D we can get amongst them... I love the taste of Golden and that place looks amazing...

Hey bud great effort you wouldn't happen to be fishing around fraser by any chance? I was up there about 2 weeks ago and myself and two mates managed a few nice goldies on the flats, awesome way to fish acctually spoting the fish and then seeing it react to your lure in the water.

Nice pic of the golden under the water

hi crazy pete .

it was at hervey bay . the pollycraft is petty small for all my gear,s and esky etc . and i have spoked to the boat owner about the problem so they maybe upgrade the boat to 4.8m with electric motor on it would sound good but i do not know when they will do it mate .

yea i would be happy to take you fishing up there if you want to then we have to make a date on that  ::)

have you been fishing laterly ??

mick .
