FIND THE BEST FISHING SPOTS

I find some hungry flathead lined up on a single bank edge and share some flathead fishing tips.
The gear I use in this video include:
Shimano Vanford 3000 reel and 270M Zodias rod. 6lb braid and leader with 20lb bite leader.
4/0 BKK Chimera hook with a 95mm Squidgy Prawn Wriggler in Black and Gold.

    Little tip you probably already know, when they spike you, turn them on their backs and wipe the slime off their belly on the cut/spike, stops the bleeding and that constant itchy sting you get! That or bit of Bracken Furn crushed up with a bit of spit, works on every insect bite also! Favourite table fish, Rays Bream or fresh King George Whiting! Great stuff as always John! Good thing about Flatties, the whole family can enjoy the outdoors while having fun casting on a few Flatties!

    Cracking work as per usual mate. I loved the little demonstration you did on tidal effects as a visual representation of how pressure edges work. And your spot on, any of the darker colours that have a nice colour contrast and cast a strong silhouette work a treat on flatties. Its also great seeing so many healthy table sized fish this early on in the season Tight lines mate

    I mainly fish catch and release but you really can't beat the flathead for an estuary combo - they put up an alright fight every now and then, are easily fooled and are pretty abundant plus have some of the best flesh around, maybe beaten by luderick. great to see the nsw government realising their importance and stocking them in a few places now

    He's got a Quintrex 370 explorer I think. There are a few videos on it from the time he was travelling around Australia, like the one where he explains his car topper setup. He's also done a bit of modification to it to turn it into a bass boat layout as you can see.
