Re: Flathead Type ID Please

there was a thing in the fisheries guide a few years ago. It mentioned that any flatty caught in the waters East of the gippsland lakes was considered to be a dusky to try stop confusion. Majority of the fish in WP and PPB will be Sand, blue spot or tigers(but they are easy to tell the difference) ...

Re: Flathead Type ID Please

Funny how this ad came up under your post. I say blue spot(yank) flathead - the one on the left :victory: Hi mate, I actually posted that pic showing the comparison lol. Now I'm confused - one person says blue spot (which is what the tail looks like) and someone else has said sand. Either way, if d...

Re: Flathead Type ID Please

Pretty hard to tell what that one is on the left, it's definitely not a dusky though. The other ones are sand flathead. You won't catch duskys in PPB Bluespots almost grey in colour, they really do look like little baby gummies coming up in the water Thanks mate. The one on the left looked exactly ...

Flathead Type ID Please

Caught a few flatties on Sat out in PPB and just want to know if they are duskies or southern blue spotted. They were between 30 & 35 cm (pic attached).

Thanks

Re: GPS for Fishing Spots Question - VFA Website

Thanks for the subsequent replies guys. It was bugging me that I couldn't figure out what those numbers were so happy to have that mystery demystified. \m/

Re: GPS for Fishing Spots Question - VFA Website

I've found the answer - they're using some weird alternative (to using long / lat) Dutch method called UTM.

Re: GPS for Fishing Spots Question - VFA Website

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I reckon it's weird that they have published those pics with those numbers when they don't appear to be actual GPS co-ords to those spots - not sure why they would even put them on there. Here's Lake Benalla on Google Maps and the actual co-ords for it (well the part of t...

GPS for Fishing Spots Question - VFA Website

Hi there. I was looking at this Victorian Fisheries Authority website and it lists different fishing spots and for each of them there is a photo with what looks like GPS co-ordinates but when I try to find the spots on Google Maps it has become clear the numbers aren't the traditional long / lat co-...
