Flats fishing

Liam and I decided to go for a quick fish over the flats off Townsville this afternoon. The weather was perfect when we left except we could not see where we were going due to the rain! After working our way to the location using GPS and compass we starting casting at likely looking fishy spots. We were aiming at chasing coral trout and golden trevally. We kept our eye out and we did see some movement but we were always just out of range. We did manage to land a fish each and we had to leave a little early as the weather finally arrived but a good first attempt. It was interesting what the cod had in its mouth as well as the fly!
