Flat Rock Report for Today

I woke an hour before the alarm went off and turned it off. Next thing I heard was "OK can you get me a cuppa?" LOL So much for sneaking out.

First pic is of setup. I had all options covered today after a weekend of wishing I could be out there with the weather the way it is. I did have a small effort Friday but it was full moon and not to much action to even worry about. 

Anyway, I went the big guns early and first cast had a major smash and a short fight I thought I had won. The second pic shows the wire trace as it came back to me (with all the rest of my terminal tackle bar the hooks). Oh well.....

Two casts later.. BANG! on again... this time a Mulloway doing it's thing. Great fight and was excited to see it.. DAMN.. lost it in the surf. Oh well.. lol

Not long after I landed a very nice Tailor and managed to put it in the bag. I landed another good one not long after that and decided to fillet the bugger and try for something decent. Yes well; Three rigs later, and about 150 meters of expensive braid, and very sore arms I realised the pair of megga big rays hanging around really liked what i was dishing up. They didn't seem to mind the body art I dressed them up in either.

So I reverted to second option, doing some popping. Not that long before I was amazed by a smash and it was on again. Another really nice Tailor. After that, nothing. I ventured up the beach a while and had a chat with a couple of guys before returning right on high tide and before the impending storm to go again for a while. I decided on anchovies...My! did they work on the high tide! Herring went into them, some nice bream and even a couple of undersized pinkies. To add topping to the cake another smash from a nice sized Tailor at 11:30am in the morning!

Tailor I measured were 46cms, 44cms, and 45cms. Nice fat fish. Great to see for a change dammit!
