Paddle tails for the win! Caught some of my best fish using minnows. Very surprising the size of the flathead you can pull out of super shallow water!

Awesome 😎 thanks guys

Good video guys keep it up 👍

I love the way you think the rest of us can cast a foot and a half from the shore. 1 cast like that, 12 in the trees. 😂

Mark can your you do a jack series when it comes in season

My best mate got spooled by a mega flatty on the tweed jist near boyds bay bridge and after my brother and me catching a couple 70 - 80cm one we new that one would’ve been at least a meter 10 centermeters

Great video but strange seeing ya not wrapped up in daiwa gear 😆 New sub 👍🏻

Hey mate, been kayak fishing recently and have been drifting with the incoming and outgoing tides. On multiple occasions now I drift past 75cm plus flatties and they get spooked. I guess I am just getting unlucky? The water is super clear and I tend to spook even the smaller ones. Is it worth anchoring up and casting in all directions then drifting a little further and repeating?

Fish ALONG the sand and weed banks for flatties guys, youll double / triple your catch compared to casting across them! 😉

Daiwa revross and Shimano Sedona valid?

👍

Shit gaff shot on the Mackie nearly ripped the lure out and the paternoster was dodgy as even the sinker hung awkward.

Didn’t look like operator error to me.

Megabux! 😂😂😂

Do you win $5k worth of gear if you catch a flathead?

$550 for the combo in the video?

Cool to see you doing some RU-vid videos mate! Ever want sandytrackx fishing to tag along hit me up! ( Hey I got to try) haha nice work brother ❤️🎣
