Managed to get out for a quick Flattie hit on the Ekka holiday for a late arvo hit on Thing's boat. Just Ackers and Thing on this trip, and we hit a few fish, but this 85cm beauty was the best of the day by far. Release video in the comments. Caught on a dark coloured vibe 🤫.
We are all looking forward to the upcoming Samaki King of Kings 👑 tournament, where we will be giving the Flatties and Threadies a red hot go for the 💵 💲 🤑 .
You can tell Paddy was jealous about missing out on this trip as he took the Flattie photo and allowed ChatGPt to do a little edit. See below.

Finally out for a Flatty flick in the lead up to the Gold Coast Flathead Classic with a sneaky session on the Gold Coast, and the flathead did not disappoint! Boated around 25 flatty for the trip, with a stack of quality fish mixed in including some solid 50cm models and 4 cracking 60cm+ flatty to top it off.
The bite was consistent all morning and made for an awesome session on the water, with the sunrise putting on a show to match.
Was also great to drop in and catch up with the team at Surf Coast Marine, and of course couldn’t pass up dropping in to see Doug and Stewie at Doug Burts Tackle World Gold Coast.
Another top day out aboard the Quintrex 590 Frontier from Surf Coast Marine, powered by the awesome Suzuki Australia Marine DF150.
