SYDNEY 22.01.08 FLATTY PB and more Slimies!

Hey guys me and drkcld went to harbour today around 3pm started fishing till 8pm. When i got there this old man caught a 40cm+ thumper bream!!!!.



So today Drkcld caught this massive 65cm flathead on my slimie fillet. Which was gunbait for this flattie! We were using chicken and prawns to catch slimy mackerals. There alot of them but it was kinda hard to hook them up this time compared to last time. So it took a while cuz it was still early in the day around like 7pm. When it got darker the fish started biting harder.

A couple of nice blokes gave us a few more slimies, ended up with 7 slimies, gonna cook half and use the other half for perfect bait tomoro!

Lemme describe the fight with the flattie. Started off taping on my big rod, was using 15lb crystal fireline with 40lb fluoro trace. The flattie felt sooo heavy when it was reeling up, at first he thought it was a rock but it started peeling some line towards the pylon, everytime it pulled it took alot of drag because the drag was on nearly full and it still took quite alot, then he thought it was a kingie or something until it surfaced. Luckily a couple of nice guys there helped us land it with their net.

This happened just when we decided to stop on the slimies and go home lol luckily we didnt.

Drkcld's new pb of 65cm w0o0o0o beat his old by 5cm. lol

Sydney harbour 12.01.08

Havnt posted in a while cause i havnt caught anything decent. But just went to the harbour today catching a whole bunch of slimy mackerals and one 47cm Flatty all on chicken meat.

The place had quite alot of big decent flatties around however i couldnt be bothered to fish for them as I already got one myself, so i continued fishing the crazy action from the slimies. I never caught slimies before so this is the first so i dont even know if they'll taste as good as yakkas.

I caught like 8 within 30mins. I was hooking them up so fast, lol I kept boasting about how many seconds i can hook one up to Drkcld. Well Drkcld had 2 slimies and a few yellowtails for bait. He lost his live yakka to something(got chumped up). And my other friend caught another 2 slimies. Also I think i lost another flathead when i tried to reel it in, but i think i was pumping my 9lb mono line a bit too hard so it broke! cuz i thought it was a snag cause it felt super heavy but it was kinda moving.

But we had a great day today. Think it was a day before a storm is coming? or maybe the moon? or the cloudy sky that made the fish bite heaps there. (28 degrees, 5-9pm)
