fred 1 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Oy richI'm getting pretty sick of you beating us in every category of fish! :wink: lets see if you can beat the west coast toady.I love the flatties but dont have any good ones to compete with another of your monsters.You reckon you caught that off marino hey. I reckon i have caught and lost that one about 4 times. It looks familiar. Big and brown. That area holds some big flatties. My mate falcon has speared some crackers at night just around there.

fred 1 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Ok mine might not win but not bad for metro. I caught this off somerton on saturday. We got 2 one went 42cm but mine went 50cm. Can't wait to eat him. I scaled and gutted him but left him whole and froze him. Anyone got any good recipes for whole flatties http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/2iKQ6NK4__metro_flatty.JPG[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cal 480 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 The patterns that seem to work the best for them is late afternoon high tide, but not the huge tides up to 2m is ideal., definately full moon, and that rotten afternoon sea breeze and any time of year but late Summer Autumn to stir it up a bit.If this may help.Cheers {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif And shallow water up to 1.5 metres. http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/ZLF97VhS__flattty_2.jpg[/img] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/zV8aJ1Ec__flatty_1.jpg[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
