Wrong fish. The Flathead is a saltwater/estuary fish that lies on the bottom and waits for prey such as prawns and poddy mullet to scuttle by and then bursts out with amazing speed. All Aussie kids grow up in it. They can be caught in a couple inches of water or out deep in the bay. Here is a link to one:

I actually began organising a trip yesterday to a place where the flathead are the biggest recorded in Oz. It is called Mallacoota Inlet, about 5 hours from here. Just remember to take lots of pink charlies and clousers...pink, pink and more pink! By the way, do you guys have Flathead down your way? If so, what are they called?

If my son stays in Oz which I think he will I might be able to make it to Melbourne next time I visit.

I am still reliving that fish as it,s my best Carp on the fly so far. I am off to Australia on Sunday for 3 weeks to see my son and of course get some fishing in at the same time.( Perth ) Tight Lines Birdie ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
