A tip to add to it. When skinning, stop skinning with the knife a bit before the bones start. Then hold the flesh with one hand and skin in the other and pull them apart. The bones come away with the skin and there is no need to cut the bones out

the most simple instructions ever. nice work made it easy for me.

Thanks to you, I just filleted and skinned my first flathead. Great video. Cheers

Take your chainsaw, gentle run it along the bones, taking care not to step on the fish as you walk inside.

thanks for the skinning tip, been trying to find a good way to skin them. im only just starting to fillet, my main problem is getting all the tiny bones out, but thats mainly from bream, thanks for all the tips, i will hopefully get better with practice.

Bloody good video mate. straight into it, no messing around. I love Flathead but I've always found them to be a bastard to fillet...properly. The way you do it is awesome. Thanks for sharing

Good video mate. I liked It. When I fillet them I cut straight down on the fillet between the first and second fins behind the head. (Leave the one fin on). By doing this, there is a little air pocket under the fin you can slip your thumb into at the top of the fillet, and just peel the skin straight off the fillet. No need for knife.. Give it a go.. I find it a bit easier. Cheers buddy

thanks for the video, caught a couple of dusty flathead and found your video very helpful.

Many thanks , easy to follow and it worked well for me! Happy fishing.

Awesome video mate. I haven't caught a flattie for years and made a mess of it loosing the bottom meaty bit from the main fillet

Finally an easy simple video, that get straight to the point. Good job. Seriously. :)

Great video. Straight forward, very helpful. Thanks for sharing

Great video. Did it on christmas day and fried up the fillets with a bit of flour, salt and pepper and small amount of oil. Everyone commented on the fish.

I caught a couple of this and filleted both and I found that the meat has lots of little black vein looking thing and it doesn't look like the one you filleted. Is this normal? or have you caught like this before? THanks

Bravo, yes very educational. Thank you.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thanks for these helpful instructions.

Great video mate

Thanks that makes for a more enjoyable feed for sure

Good video. Nice job!

use tweezers to pluck rib bones?

Thanks mate. Hoping to be filleting flathead tomorrow. :-).

When you catch a flathead do you bleed it straightaway

sure is!

Great vid mate

Very good vid! Now I'm gonna fillet my flaty!

What's the simplest (quickest) way to kill the catch and store it so you can take it home to fillet? Thanks

Great vid!

Thanks for the tutorial =)

Couldnt tell , was it gutted before skinning ?

yeah sure does!

Were did u catch them

Good stuff..well done

Mint video mate

Great tip

Nice vid, makes me wanna go catch one now

Thanks for the info bro 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Thanks dude!

WELL EXPLAINED.

Do you gut it and de scale first?

@chrishollis3568

5 жыл бұрын

The scales are on the skin still no gutting needed as its the tail

Good stuff. Thank u

the other way to fillet is after u have made the cut down to the tail just start skinning about 20 mm then grab the flesh and slowly pull away from skin if done properly the bones will be left on the carcus.This method takes a lot of practice and u will lose meat but is quicker if u have a lot to clean.

Anybody know a good place to catch flatty around the northern beaches? Narrabeen lakes just don't seem to have much anymore thanks

lake Macquarie has a few, lol. average around the 65 cm my best so far 72 cm, and ive only been here for a bit.

awesome mate..much better than my way!

good viedo

After you've put the slit near the tail use a cloth and peel the fillet away from the skin it'll leave those bones connected to the skin giving you a clean fillet without any bones

Here for the 3 metreys

Thanks my guy

good video cheers :)

thanks mate Good -on you .

personally I like a boned fillet with skin on for flatties, your missing a lot of flavour removing it.

You should leave that fin on the skin, you make a pocket with your thumb and pull the skin off using the fin as a lever, works everytime. Cheers.

Are the bones just rib bones? can you just pull them out 1 by 1, there is only a few?

+Jack Offer thats what i did, got most of them. im far from a pro though haha and was winging it

Subbed

If you start the fillet just enough to grip it you can pull the flesh from the skin and most times leave the bones on the skin.

It this after you gut it or you don’t gut it at all

You don't gut it at all.

Hi

Thanks for that.

thanks

Thanks heaps. I wish the camera was close up while you were doing the debonig. Other than that spot on.

Your helpful

Perfect! A must see for all fisho's new to filleting.

you dont need a sharp knife, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier!

It was educational. Abd a good video, Thanks. A sharp knife would have made you look like a MasterChef!

I was thinking you were going to do a flathead catfish...good video though thanks

Good eating right there.

They taste a lot better when you gut them and remove there gills soon after landing it

Should of watched this on friday.... Well now I know

Why why have you got a blunt fishing knife.

ohhh i needed to keep the head opps

Like and sub from Sydney!

So you cut the fish, but what happened to the bones? Magic?

@rickiemaslen7717

He cut the bones out that what you do when you fillet fish. Did you not watch and listen to what he just said

Seen it done easoer

Alternatively you can pull the bones out with pliers. No waste then.

Sharp knife goes a long way

more close ups please

Flathead cooked with skin on, is the best way to cook flathead. I dont know why people cook it without.

Show how to do the bones better.

Yeah that knife was blunt as😂

way it should be done!

Just saying mate, you will get more meat off the fish if you cook it whole
