Port Phillip Bay Flathead Fishing - featuring Land Fish TV 

and in winter! I'll take that every time.

Thanks Wes.

Ty PigPatrol, yeah, only found in Australia and this region. They are suckers for lures, and we fish for them like Americans do large mouths. The big ones grow to over 3ft long.

Do they put up a good fight? Are they as highly regarded as largemouth are here, or are they a fish people keep to eat!

Ty PigPatrol, fishing culture is a bit of a funny thing here, they are heavily fished for eating, but there is a quickly growing section of the fishing community that target them for sport, like LMB. The small ones don’t put up much of a fight, but the big ones can be a real challenge. The people that chase them for sport, use really light line, like 6lb braid. A big part of the sporting side of fishing here is using really light line, light rods, and smaller reels.

Good to know there is a grow population of people who fish for them like you do. I can imagine a 3 footer on 6 lb braid would be an absolute riot! I have been doing the ultralight fishing thing a lot lately, hooking into 6 lb bass on 4 lb line is a serious fight, and adds that much of a challenge!

Ty PigPatrol, yeah fishing light becomes a bit of an addiction. Love my bass fishing, about to head back to the US for a bit, can’t wait to get onto the bass again.

jeff61 yeah, a bit of protection from the wind in that pocked too. Good spot, good flathead off of St Kilda too. All over that area really.

Wozzie, Thanks Mate, it’s always nice to read your positive comments.

Diego gonzalez, I know! How cool was that, they do that all the time, I try to film a really cool release, with them swimming off, and most of the time they go straight under the boat.

Marx Fishing sweet! Guess they see it as a type of cover

Diego gonzalez, yeah, that’s my guess as well.

Marx Fishing well we can only keep on guessing

Finding Joe yeah, I have found the average size is much better up the top end of the bay. Try a bigger lure down your way, 4” gulp minor in new penny.

Lawn Care Evolution, awesome. Love me some squid, haven’t targeted them in a few years, best eating in my book.

Watch this if you haven't already. Best Salt and pepper squid recipe I know. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tg3D0ToLFAY.html

Out of the Warmies, across the river and around to the left. Little pocket between web dock and the pier/poles in Port Melbourne. They have been getting salmon and pinkies in that area this week. It’s totally hit or miss though.

Rocket's Fishing Adventures, Thanks! Beats a day at work, that’s for sure.

ya boi, Thanks, putting lots of effort into trying to create good local content. Thanks for the encouragement.

Any time man keep it up

Thats just excellent! I'm sure there are heaps of people catching their first fish, or more fish, because of Land Fish TV.

Fishing Coz I Can Mate, thanks Mate.

Andrew Vascotto, what areas do you fish?

Watch this video as well -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UMUpTwxgSBE.html

Marx Fishing ppb mate. Mostly altona to corio.

Andy Roo, even if you launch those areas, I would head over to Williamstown to St Kilda area. I find the fish are bigger in that area. I find the flathead down towards corio to be smaller on average. Just drift, if you don’t get a fish, move and drift again, you will find fish. Flathead are not like Snapper, they are kinda everywhere. Message me up at Marx Fishing on FaceBook, I may be able to give you some more specifics.

Yeah, loved it. Has a smile the whole time I was doing the edit.

Mark is coming up strong, love his edits ;)

Thanks bud, yeah, it’s nice to see the channel growing. I’m about to head to Canada for 4 months, but when I get back the weather will be warming up, and I want to shoot a really good vid with Lucas and yourself.

Marx Fishing oh nice, make sure you get plenty of footage in Canada haha. Yeah that would be awesome, I’m already missing summer, I don’t like winter hahaha

You need to get a fishing license, which you can do online. There is an App called ‘Vic Fishing’ and it has all the regulations, catch limits, size limits, etc.

Thanks marx much appreciated for the reply i am a well experienced fisherman and like to abide by the rules wherever I go👍

I like to do a mixture of trout and sea fishing is there much trout fishing in and around Melbourne? Preferably fly for trout but if not that's fine thanks for any help love your videos! 💪

Yeah, there is trout fishing. Many of the local lakes are stocked with trout, and there are wild breeding populations of trout in the hills, outside of melbourne. Our biggest freshwater fish here is the Murray Cod, have a look into it, very special fish, an Aussie Icon.

Thanks very much Marx I will defo look into it I prefer wild fishing and again thanks very much for replying I will let you know how my adventures go

CallumRitchie Fishing, thanks Callum, nice to hear from you.

Jacobs Productions, 30hp. There are times I wish it was 40, for a little bit more speed when it’s totally flat, but that’s not very often.

Fishing around the Geelong waterfront has been great in the past few weeks. I would say 1/4 oz size on jighead, use a small curly tail plastic, and use some scent on it. Make sure the lure is getting to the bottom, and leave nice long pauses. Check out fishingmad on RU-vid, he just did a really good flathead on plastics video. I also have a video called how to catch flathead in port phillip bay, and Land Fish TV probably has the best overall content for land based plastics fishing, watch everything he does.

Thanks Brett.
