Does NZ have a FLATTIE fishery? Part 1 on our quest to find that elusive inshore NZ fishery. Flounder on softplastic lures (softbaits). I have caught them before just not here. Now we just need to find one. 3 meter flatty in nz? lol
Casting small and very light Zman lures around shallow sand flats. Fishing ultra light for flounder and sole. These aggressive fish will actively chase down small lures and jigs and i have caught many across the ditch. Provided we can find spot X we could discover an untapped fishery on the flats. The most exciting part about fishing is having an idea and pursuing that thought, if it pays off or not, its the adventure that keeps you going again and again. Stay tuned for part 2.

sorry guys loud music and the serene natural background doesnt work for me as a Fisho.

Thanks for the feed back. Newer videos have a better mix. Cheers

So cool been wanting to try this, shoulders almost good again.👍

@Fishingreminder 3 года назад

great video. I've been trying to catch some flounder on softbaits for ages and still haven't had any success. Don't know why it's so difficult here in NZ. Obviously there a lots of flounder around. In other parts of the world they seem to be caught more easily on soft baits for some reason. Looking forward to part 2 and hopefully you guys will crack the code.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

That’s the plan man. Can’t compare to the USA flounder those things have teeth lol. But got them plenty of times in oz and their the same sole type we have here and the normal flounder do eat lures too. It’s just being somewhere that they are more abundant I think. Fingers crossed for pt 2

@markhoffman9655 3 года назад

They go well on the fly - caught one when I had the fly trailing behind me as wading over the flat in knee deep water. Small clousers would be the ticket fished slow like a softbait. Looking forward to part 2 - flounder would be a great addition to in shore sport fishery.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Hey man cheers for the comment. Yeah funny mike has caught one too doing almost exactly that. Would love to get one on fly. It’s just a matter of being somewhere where there are a few around I think

@1998TDM 2 года назад

Awesome, I'm not alone. Used to fly fish for flounder in the Manukau. I tied my own flies back then and favoured wee, ugly, straggly crab patterns with a bit of weight to puff the silt on the bottom. On really light gear flounder go hard!

@wony104104 3 года назад

good to see someone trying what I've been trying for the last few years haven't been out much to have any success but I do believe softbaits do work for flounders.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Has to work bro. I’ve caught heaps in oz as by catch on soft baits going for flat head and whiting, and also in deeper water on flea micro jigs. Just need to find a spot where there is a few around. So have you hooked one yet?

@wony104104 3 года назад

@@AdriftFishing Just need to find the right spot is the hardest part I I reckon. if I find them I will knock'em on the head with the softbait and they will not be able to resist.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Yeah man that’s it.. that’s my next trip haha! On a mission now

@wony104104 3 года назад

@@AdriftFishing try sinking minnows(crankbait or what ever they call) too. I'm not so familiar with the names.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Flat head lures for flat fish. Seems fitting. I’ve caught a heap on micro vibes in oz too. Just need to find where their hanging out ;)

@geoffwebster4115 3 года назад

I've got some Gulp curlytails probably only 3cm long. Paired with a Savage Gear #1 2-4g jighead*, that might be a better match to their mouth size? *See Marine Deals (and I don't have shares)

@outinthebushnz 3 года назад

Awesome video mate, flounder on the softbaits sounds on.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Cheers bro. It’s really starting to take off now in nz

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Yeah man that’s it. Trying to get my flattie fix lol. Cheers lubin.

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

I've speared plenty in Raglan harbour but I have spent a bit of time looking around that spot and not seen a single one. I know someone the regularly paddles it a SUP and has not see many either. I you just need to find the right spot.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Yeah looking good isn’t always good aye. I’ve only been spearing twice so need to explore I think could be a good mission. Oh mikes caught one sight cast on the fly..

@z-rock7586 3 года назад

Shhhhhhh... been catching them on squidgy wrigglers for years. Top tip paint a bit of pink flouro on the paddle tails.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

sweet! gonna try that

@mjw789234 3 года назад

Only flounder I've caught on a lure was one that I foul hooked with a spinner. I would've thought their mouths would be too small for most soft plastics.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Yeah you’d be surprised aye. Those ones I have caught a micro jigging on 20gm fleas had no worries and it was regular. Targeted, though in 5-10m

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

And those little zman Ned rigs will hook real small fish.. like those in oz lol

@bojancvetkovic3041 3 года назад

I've been trying the same thing on and off. Wish we had species with a larger mouth like overseas! I'm hoping to dig up information on a decent turbot population somewhere in NZ . . .

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Yeah man would be cool aye. It is possible I’ve heard some good feed back after this video so guys do catch them. In estuarys particularly guys chasing sea run trout do well cause their fishing small

@lordharvey5199 3 года назад

@FishingForeverFilms 3 года назад

That drone footage was dope, I’ve caught loads of flounder while soft plastic fishing for them but every time I try film for them I never get one 😂

@FishingForeverFilms 3 года назад

Adrift Fishing yeah bro, was my best session yet for them. I target them with small Berkley bream pro jigheads and the Berkley Gulp “Crabby” soft baits

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

Yeah sweet man. Anything in that 2 inch size will bang them over. Just need to find somewhere where there is a few around. Sounds like you have a spot

light lure fishing really helps for sure! haha although still yet to succeed in it in saltwater

@serdavosseaworth6115 2 года назад

When is the best time to fish for flounder in those sand flats with the tides?

@AdriftFishing 2 года назад

Generally the start of the incoming tide as they follow the tide up

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

@@garye5495 haha cheers bro. I was surprised how well the video was received for a fish-less attempt video, but in saying that I have caught them on sb and jigs in oz but more the sole variant you have here the oval one than the diamond shaped flounder. But people assure me that they get them while targeting sea run brown trout in estuaries so still going to give it another shot. Not giving up yet ;) 🤟🏼
