Took my 11' NSP trolling in Currimundi ck today. 2 Flathead 1 bream
My set up is similar to Olivers
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=68213 except I have my milk crate held down by a tie down strap around the whole board.
I have my crate behind me, as I am going to put a lid on it, to use as a seat.
I scored my first flathead (60cm) after about 5 minutes. I hadn't really thought about the landing process and did a one arm holding the rod, one arm trying to paddle to the bank. It would have looked totally ridiculous.
Just as I got to the bank I lost the fish, but as I was going to let it go, it didn't really matter.
The next two fish I knelt down for the landing process - much better. When the lid is fitted I will be able to sit down for the landing.
The bream was 35cm and was awesome on light tackle. Did some slow water sking!!!
I hooked it near a couple of guys in a tinny, the looks on their faces was priceless especially went I threw it back in. I did hold it up for them to see it.( I had to show someone)
