Lovely fish mate 👍 Great to see the big ones still around. Not sure about fish scent. I've caught fish with scent and without scent. Maybe the taste on the scented lure gets them back for a second bite. I can't tell. Fish scent might be an old wives tale or brilliant marketing 😀 Cheers 👍
Absolute monster! Well done with light gear man! Keep it up :-)
Huge Flattie, well done great catch!!!
Well played! Trophy fish! Interesting result as no scent didn't seem to impact however you might have cast a few thousand times more than usual!
That was a beautiful flathead, well done.
Gotta love getting into a good fish in the mid winter - makes all the punishing days worth it. That's an awesome flatty mate well done

So good to see that monsters can be caught on light gear, land based, and with a lure that isn’t the size of a legal whiting! There’s hope for us all~ 🎉

In my opinion big lures for flatties are detrimental to actually catching them when land based . Deeper water may be different , but not land fishing . 👍✔🎣

Awesome video Shroom! Just a quick question, how do you find fishing on ferry wharves? I find that every time I send out a live yakka, the ferry always tangles me and the lines get snapped and tangled with the motor. Any Ideas to help? How do you cope with them? It's as if you just can't cast them out and you just have to drop them under.

Scent isn't " cheating", but adding it contradicts the whole reason lure fishing was invented. You take the olfactory senses out of the equation so you feel more satisfaction when you catch them! So you're missing that feeling.That's what "lure" means - it's visual only. A guy I fish with stopped using scent when he watched me catch as many fish doing things properly with no scent.
