Jerk-baiting for flathead
G'day Legends, This week I was lucky enough to head out with Troy Dixon from Wilson Fishing to trial their newly released lure, the Zerek 130mm 'Defiance'. Even though the fishing was tough at times, the 'Defiance' accounted for all of the larger flathead caught over the two days of fishing, including both of the 70cm+ fish. It's definitely earnt a spot in my tackle box!
For your chance to WIN the Flattie pack valued at $200 plus Kord's flattie smacking pearl 'Defiance' head over to / wilson_fishing at 8:00am AEST, Monday 17th August and look for the corresponding picture.
To check out any of the tackle used in todays video head over to www.wilsonfishing.com/

We've all got that one friend who can catch fish seemingly at will. That person also has a friend who can do the same, and out-fishes them too. It's good to know that sometimes everyone has tough days. You just have to keep casting!

Great show Sammy. I'd be happy with a session like that. Mine are usually full of donuts.
Quote "I'm not even hooking then in the mouth anymore + I can't catch em". Reality is that most fish use there body to "smack their prey" + stun them before eating them. Using lures is different from bait of course when a punter drops a bit of meat and waits...... I used to think I fouled hooked a fish when using lures then through a bit of study I discovered. I had a legitimate catch. Excellent example of lures working. Thanks for the vid fellas. Cheers Gaz

Great overhead footage of the release from the drone. @ about 48:00 I tried to reach in and save your beer, twice, that fall and then that fish flopping around. You guys have too much fun. This is a double plus motivator to get out and enjoy what you can. Nice final fish.

Notice that Dicko (assume he is right handed) uses his dominant hand to get a real finesse twitch to his plastics. That's a pretty good reason to delegate the left hand to winding duty if you haven't already. Good episode!!
