7/8/2016

Today we launched out from st kilda at around 1:30 and the moment we got out noticed that the water was very murky.
Kept driving but it wouldn't clear up so decided to give the squidding a miss.

We decided to drift in 6 metres to see what would show up.
Couple of baits out the back and flicking soft plastics each as well.

Ended up with a nice bag of flatties. Threw back 5 or 6 that were around the 30 cm mark.

At one point all rods went off with a double header of big flatties on one rod, both the plastics, one which was just sitting in the rod holder and the other bait rod as well.
Was chaos for a few minutes :rofl:

Was a great day out in the water :P

That's a good haul for winter fishing. What plastics were you using? The only one I got on a plastic was on a white prawn looking thing.
