It was still dark but the tide was flooding and only a 1mtr max swell. Off I went and launched and idled out to the bar. Even though I new it was fine to cross, in the dark with a 14ft tinnie my eyes were out on storks
. No issue motored across and watch the depth drop away from 5 mtrs to 6,7,10mtrs Ok clear, pointed to the SW and went down to the pines and in to the back of the break. Just a hint of light now. Threw in a good gummy rig and a flatty rig and sat to see what happens. Well not much 
. By sunup still nothing but had drifted out from 8mtrs to 14mtrs. Hmm should I go back in and chase the KGWs. Then boing boing something is knocking on a rod. Not much of a fight but up came a 35cm bluespot flatty. Ok so over goes a lighter rod with some 2/0s on it. Out to 16mtrs by this time. Boing another one. Then a bunch of undersize. Out to 18mtrs not much happening. charged back to 12mtrs for another drift that produced 2 more around the 35cm. I had the drogue out by this time as a 10knt NW wind had started to move me a bit too fast. Couldn't be bothered pulling it in so continued to drift but more to the east. At 19mtrs the light flatty rod bends and a bit of line feeds out . Plenty of weight no big fight. Up comes a dbl header of 40plus flatties. So kept at it till 1030 and headed in. 13 keepers some quite good ones but no monsters. Interestingly some lake Tyers prawns were the best bait. followed by squid strips. I caught a coota and a cpl of mackerel that i turned into bait. The fish didn't seem that fussed with them today.
