oh they look like big mayo lug lol,,,congrats lads,,i dont care what anyone says,,,its hard to beat a bit of flatty bashing,,,the one thing with is,,if your on them,,you are always busy,,,thats whats makes the time fly and makes it so much fun,,,,i seem to be having the same up here,,,the flats are in great numbers and in good sizes,,make the most of it now while you can cause im thinking they (not all) might head out deep soon for spawing but i could be wrong
