Clifton Springs Saturday

Post by Matty H » Tue Mar 15, 2022 4:55 pm

Got to the ramp 8’ish with my mate and his son, had obviously been busy early, but at 8 we were the only ones launching, which made for a luxurious start. Zipped out to our spot on the far side of the mussel farms, and straight onto kgw’s. Caught a yakka, and baited fillets on a bigger outfit for a hefty PJ shark. Still had the head left, so stuck this on and a few minutes later the rod buckled. First run was a train, my mate called ray, but too many kicks, I called gummy. It then headed back towards the boat at a rate of knots and parked underneath us, 5 minutes of lifting/winding and a 4ft gummy is in the boat! Continued on with continual yakkas, undersized pinkies, and plenty of good kgw’s to add to the fish box. Only 1 flatty kept, and only started catching numbers of these later in the session, which was a nice change.
Headed in not long after 1, my mate’s son kneeboarded all the way back to the ramp, his best ever day on the water!

Oh nice, well done.
That's a good sized gummy.
Whenever I go to Clifton Springs, I always fish for squid and whiting. Never thought of gummy. I should bring heavy gear next time.

Nice gummy. Most of my mates have struggled to find decent flathead in any quantity don't know where they have gone
