Report: Great day of the tinny. Multiple locations used, main site straight out all deck visible. Pippie most succesful for catching fish other than Poo Fish. Flathead caught by most inexperienced fisher we all thought she was just snagged till she pulled it in the boat. Hooked up to, what could only have been, a big ray... shot away taking about 3/4 of the line then snapping the rod... shit!!
