Went to the end of the rock wall and a guy was fishing for Gars and throwing out a bit of berley. So I fished his trail for about 20 minutes and pulled in a nice Flatty maybe 25 cm. My first land based fish I believe. About 10 minutes later pulled in another a touch smaller. After that a couple of massive hits that I couldn't hook. Felt different to the flathead strikes, wish i could've hooked one.

Some great advice on here thanks to everyone.
well done once you get the first on soft plastics your hooked what soft plastic did you get them on

Hopefully they get caught in the future. I have tried reporting to fisheries a few times in the past but have never been able to get through to them...
