Flinders Island Tasmania tassie boys

http://www.tassieboys.com.au Flinders Island fishing trip Tassie Boys, we set out from Tomahawk at around 10am headed NE to Clarke islands beaches on the eastern side the boys hooked on to some huge salmon fishing off the beaches, Jarom went free diving on the nearby rocks and managed to get a couple of good size crayfish. We headed further north along the islands fishing along the way in shallow water and sand banks but to no luck with the flathead. We passed a shipwreck off the beach on cape barron island then headed north into Lady Barron where we were to moor for the night and stay in our accommodation. We had dinner at the local tavern and talk to locals and mainlanders about the fishing a few of the guys who had been on a charter told us about striped trumpeter they had caught only 13kms off the coastline.
Next morning we set out to sea in hope of finding reef and the stripys at about 34meters we dropped down we instantly hooked on to huge flathead and Eden managed to hook a good sized gummy shark only to lose it at the surface within a minute he hooked another one which he managed to land on the boat. We continued heading out in hope of finding reef in deeper water only to continue catching huge flathead no complaints however. After travelling over 30kms east of shore and only reaching a depth of 40meters we came to the conclusion we had passed the reef the fisherman had talked about and decided we needed the gps to find. We headed back to Lady Barron with a big bucket of flattys and gummy and refueled at the docks. We than headed out to the western side of the islands for some diving trying about 5or 6 different locations the crayfish were scarce but were large when found and Levi managed to land a good sized cray freediving. Couple of seven gilled sharks were spotted by Levi while diving. We headed back in to port at about 5pm for a good pub meal making sure to have the eye fillet instead of the pizza the previous night. During the night the wind and rain set in making travel home the next morning hard to navigate. The weather was rough but not as rough as expected and we made it back to Tomahawk only a few ks west of our destination thanks to our trusty compass.
