Duffs Tackle reports flathead caught right throughout the system with Sydney visitor Rob Anderson landing a 68cm ‘lizard’ inside the Nelson Bay Marine using chicken breast for bait. I also heard that a couple of Karuah bridge fishos were surprised to find a 72cm flathead in their crab trap.
‘Schoie’, the Sheik of Stockton Beach, is at it again catching summer whiting in the deep holes using live sea worms for bait. The whiting have also moved onto Fingal Beach.
