QLD Noosa River flathead
Submitted by Paul H on Fri, 2010-01-08 11:16
Caught on a cheap lure on a cheap hire rod in front of the apartment where we were staying at noosa (gonna make sure I take my rod next time). Had a hookup and dropped it on the first cast nailed him again and got it to the bank on the second. Ate it for dinner the following night - tasted beautiful......

What did that one measure?
What did that one measure? It looks decent.
I was there last year with a rod and only managed smaller specimens(big by Perth standards) but I've seen massive ones in photos. Heaps of trev's in that river too. We fished near the caravan park.

Was caught just near the
Was caught just near the boat hire place (where I hired the crappy rod) a little more inland from the caravan park just after dark. Was berlying up heaps of small bream etc with bread near the pontoon at the time. I would estimate it was around 45-50cm.
I remember fishing on the gold coast seaway when I was about 14 and an old bloke was teaching me how to catch flathead on bait. Saw him catch two crocodilles (flathead) of about a metre each on ox liver baits which he swore by. I caught a few small ones after that on the ox liver.
