Boordy

I was down there in the yak today just flicking soft plastics. Those baby ST's are absolutely prolific. They were taking trolling lures longer than what they were themselves. I did manage to catch plenty of decent size bream though and we saw some good sized flathead a lot closer to the mouth. First time on the onk and enjoyed it very much.

Yeah it is a really quiet, sleepy spot. Does get busier over the weekend with crabbers heading out. The beach is very tidal orientated. The water will recede probably 200-250m at low tide and then flood back in through well defined gutters, makes it a very nice place to fish on a calm day.

I was down at the shack around rogues point on the Yorke Peninsula over the weekend chasing fish on the sand flats on the turn of the tide. We spotted a big fish scoot by as we were crabbing in a foot of water through the weeds and everyone thought it was a KGW (which would be highly unlikely in that particular area/depth). Half an hour later after pumping some clickers I threw out a line and was just reeling it in to check the bait when bang - this same horse of a fish absolutely smashed the clicker bait. It was great fun on the 2-4kg graphite with 1000 sienna reel and 4lb braid and it put up a good fight and was a great way to start the weekend. We only realised it was a yellow-fin once I had it safely on the sand and it measured 42cm and was seriously fat - even the old timers down that way couldn't believe it. The only downside is that the fillets definitely were not as sweet and tender as a 30cm specimen. I don't think I will beat that size for a long time.

That is one monster YFW! I hope I get a PB like that since my PB is only 37cm which I thought was huge! haha Well done!

Yeah, similar beach to carrcikalinga just around the corner and I've caught some nice 50cm+ flathead in about a foot of water on a lure there. Would say it'd be the usual bunch, with a chance for something toothy out further.
