Red good to see a couple of esprites getting together, an better still getting flattie fillets for tea...life's good when its like that :wink:

 

[paffoh]

Good report

Pity you missed out on the stripeys, large flathead should make up for it... id be happy with a 70cm.

Glad you had a blast with Brad & Family

 

[PoddyMullet]

That flattie looks like a gardening tool on steroids...nicely done Red. Sounds like a bit of pain made ya earn him thoguh

 

[Polar]

Ah I said it once and I will say it again - you da man - Leigh - congrats on the PB - still dreaming of a flattie over 60cm

 

[milansek]

GOOD FISH RED WELL DONE. MILAN

 

[Russ]

:shock: Nice place down there mate definately a good idea to have a plan B. Definately need a 2nd option when planning a trip with your Yak. I always have 2 seperate pre, rigged up plans to go either way if required. Drop 1 and take the other. A little more work initially, but saves any heartache at 4.30am if the wind that should have ebated overnight is still howling.

Thanks Red

fishing Russ

 

[Peril]

Nice fishing there Red. Congrats on the PB lizard.

 

[Rod L]

Nice flatty from Tuross Red!
Is the mouth open at the moment? I know they dredged it a while back.
Also, where's Burrewurra point? I haven't heard of that.

[Squidder]

Lovely pics and report Red. Looks like a top spot when you can pull such a variety of fish.

How far are Tuross and Durass from Canberra CBD, are they a viable day trip option?

 

[Polar]

Yes Leigh - might time to venture outside the safety zone of Durras and broaden ones horizons

 

[Guest]

Thats not a big flathead... it's a small crocodile!
Well done RP

 

[paffoh]

Did i say your the man? You da man!... man lol

Leave some flatties in the Lake for me will ya! :twisted:

Squidder, both Duras and Tuross are under 2.5hrs from Canberra with Duras bieng as close as 1.5hrs ( No traffic, lead foot etc etc )...

 

[Squidder]

Cheers Paff, that qualifies as a day trip in my book :twisted: Nice sig by the way :wink:

[Squidder]

Cheers for the detailed info Red, nice to know I can get my saltwater fix within a few hours of Canberra

 

[Rod L]

Nice spot Red, thanks for the location.
I had checked out guerilla bay as a launch place las time I was up there. That's where Rob Paxevanos launched and caught a shark from the yak for his fishing show.
Squidder,
My parents-in-law live in Tuross (guess where we take our holidays ).
There are 2 camping grounds and both have onsite cabins for hire. Not sure of price though.

 

[bazzoo]

great report, makes me want to be there now, great to see a couple of espris out together, there is a great flathead drift in the middle of the bay at durras, approx one and a half kms off the beach towards the centre of the bay, used to fish it in the stink boat, and were guaranteed flatties , but flatties only every time, tried to find durras on google to mark it , but could`nt recognise it
