Dinner sorted 62cm flathead

Nice lizard UTT. I caught 4 yesterday in Lake Mac but the biggest went 54cm. Fish that size are the best eating, specially in beer batter. Enjoy.

Sorry no photos.
Went out with a mate today and caught not much till about 12:30 and then it was busy. I got instantly done three times by ooglies, then I finally won some line against the fourth oogly, only to fight it for 1/2 hour and then break off.
Meanwhile my mate landed a meter plus, 20kg cobia followed by a GT of unknown weight.
I stooged along with a 50cm tea leaf trevally, then an 85cm tea leaf, and a 1m cobia.
He well and truly won bragging rights for the day, but we both came home with some tucker.

Ooglies is a term I inherited from a friend I used to fish with in Darwin Harbour. Anything big, and generally slow, that refuses to come near the surface or behave in an otherwise identifiable way, and that invariably breaks you off.

I used to call those types of fish buckets, similar to trying to bring in a bucket full of water, no air.
