Re: FFF Seadogs - Round 11 - Whisker Ticklers
So I'd lined up Ziggy to hit up Middle Arm this morning to chase some barra, but when it rained last night, I threw the snapper gear in as a back-up plan in case the barra weren't playing.
Sure enough, the creeks were dirty and we didn't catch a barra all day, but we did soak a few baits on some likely looking rock bars.
A range of estuary bottom dwellers came in over the gunnels, but it was this mighty fish below that made me first get out the brag mat and camera.... Later in the morning, on a new spot, I got the upgrade, and a different type to boot! And eventually I got another upgrade - best fight of the day too! Luckily Ziggy was catching goldies, so we managed to bring home dinner. Bit of a sureal trip - I don't usually let catfishs come in the boat, and here I was fussing over them on the brag mat taking multiple photos! Felt like mango madness.
cheers

Talk about letting down the balloon. What is the point in trying to catch a Powertail now? Powertail master, I bow to you

Lol. Nice fish Pony. So much for not being able to fish this month mate. Well done on a good win!
Just out of curiosity Matt. How are we measuring them. To the fork or tip??
It doesn't matter I guess as I would need one 45cm odd bigger then kurts to get him and unless I go to the Amazon that ain't happening!

not sure wat ya on about with 45cm , and as for work my boss pulled the pin on work thursday arvo, sumthing about this constant 45 degree heat being to much. We both know there is a bigger Powertail than this one in the N.T.
