Hi Guys had some mates coming over for a feed n beers tonight and when I asked what they wanted to eat they said fish (the bastards). It was blowing 20-25 knots but I figured I could pull a feed of flatchaps in close from the bay. I launched via the neck beach and paddled out with the wind to aprox 30 metres. My large sea anchor slowed my drift nicely and I commenced drop shotting using a 3 inch standard Berkley Bass Minnow. The flatchaps were thick but mostly small.
I kept 15 between the high 30 to middle 40 mark and released around 3 times this number all from around the 20- low 30 mark. I decided that I had enough so I started paddling back to shore against the wind which was now up around the 30 knot mark. At length I got back to the beach. The strong winds had flattened the break so I had an easy run to shore which didn't result in being wiped out. Snapped a quick pic on my jumbo fish cleaning table which I will include below.
