    Mojoes the flatty guru

    Poor old Rob hadn't been out for a while and in desperation agreed to come out for a fish on a boat half the size using silly string and bream gear. Unsurprisingly he smashed it! He took to using 6lb pound line and 1/8th oz jigheads, soft plastics and tiny reels like a duck to water. We boated about 15 odd flattys. Best went 70cms (which went back) Ended up taking 7 nice fish home for a feed.

    Rob is looking to off load his 8 meter platey and buy a bass boat and Minn Kotta so if you are after a bargain hit him up

    Juna reckons with all the weight you've lost, you probably don't have the strength to pull a red in, so flatties are your new go to fish

    They are a bit deep for him Luke.

    He will like the 600mm depths, less pressure on him

    Now you mention it he did ask to be taken back into the shallows a couple of times when we drifted out in the 2 meter depths. I shoulda put in an electric reel perhaps?

    Thanks again Luke for the great morning out fishing the super shallows .
    First time in 20 odd years I have fished estuaries and found it fun, surprisingly.......
    Tho, I'm not used to those 4:00am starts anymore, it's been a while.
    Look forward to doing it again.

    Cheers Rob

    I know....... it was like casting a jighead into a puddle.
    As soon as it hit the water it was on the bottom hahahaha
    I was gonna sneak an electric setup on board hoping you wouldn't notice
    Also nearly popped a couple of Travelcalm as well, was pretty sloppy out there

    luckily the Stacer 4.3m handles the rough stuff well

    Rob, he did the same to me, turned it on the first I went and then ever after its been a hard slog. Don't go to the dark side mate, keep chasing them Reds.

    I could tell Funchy was slowing taking me away from the super shallows and into the weed and deeper Dignity.
    I'm was onto him

    Gezzz I thought I was gonna have to take out a 2nd mortgage to pay my share of the fuel.
    Funchy, you really need to get that motor looked at as I don't think I could afford another $0.50 trip

    Least of your worries. Wait till the bug bites and you end up with 15 different tackle boxes of assorted soft plastics and jig heads, 2 kilo outfits that cost more than your electrics do and a new tinnie with a minn kota and battery banks big enough to power a small city LOL.
