Unclestu and i headed out to search for flatrocks this morning ... at around 6am we took off and from some brief instructions on how to get there from Spess we got lost in a matter of 20 minutes haha.

After about an hour of 4wding through the bush (mind you was fun!) we eventually found the coast .. Spess we went too far north and missed the first turn-off .. We came across a few different beautiful beaches that looked (groan!!) oh so fishy, and a few different people telling us which way to head but all we wanted to find was the flatrocks location and use my bag of mulies.

We stopped at about 3 beaches which had that reef formation you can see in Google Earth but we weren't sure which one actually was flatrocks as i said we headed too far north ...

So we stopped and had a fish at a reefy part with a very strong current going from left to right and the water was fairly deep just out in front of us, it was about 2-3km from Two Rocks. After about 20 minutes (and about 5 lost mulies because im an idiot and didnt really know how to rig them on properly, i do now) a big school of solid tailor came swimming across and i managed to hook one, it was the best feeling, feeling it take some line and shake its head and the sway of the rod i couldnt believe it ...

... Well because i have s**t fishing line on my reel (forgot to put my good line i bought last night on) just as i was bringing the fish up to me in a wave, the knot came loose and the fish was there right in front of me and i should have ran and dived into the wave to grab it but i didnt think quick enough and it was gone!!! Meanwhile a bloke next to me had one on as well and he managed to land it, it went 45cm and i would say mine would of been about 40cm, Unclestu got nothing lol! Unlucky ...

From seeing what i saw today i can honestly say this flatrocks trip is gonna be awesome and thanks to Unclestu for taking me out today!
