A Quick fish for Flathead on Holidays.

Thought it was time I posted a few fish.
Visited family these school holidays just finished. One stop over was the Sunshine Coast of Queensland near Bribie Island (a lovely spot). Fished the end of run out tide Monday 15/7 from 0630hrs onward in the waterway that separates Bribie Is from mainland. Used soft plastic prawn look alike with a resin head. The water was only a few feet deep and even the smallest lead head was too heavy for the plastic, resin head was even a little on the heavy side. Only had a few hours to fish and came up trumps with these two lizards. The rod butt to fore grip upper is 42cm. Heaviest flattie went 1.26kg. Very happy to plan a fishing effort, and fish the plan to come up trumps. The spot was near a caravan park before Bribie's connecting bridge on the main road. Meet a few locals who were good company and very helpful. The tuck shop owner told me a 4kg flattie, which was around the 1.2 meter mark, had been landed two nights earlier on the high tide. The kids woke him to weigh and photograph the monster lizard. Brag board in the tuck shop is worth stopping for! In total I would have made 40 casts. Queensland, beautiful one day, perfect the next. Blooded the new rod in too :) , its staying in Qld for future visits.
