Good video Alan, I went out last week and only kept 2 flathead. The caught so many around the 30cm size but threw them back. I think the water temps start to to rapidly start dropping, fishing will pick up again.
Yeah the volume of flathead between 27cm and 35cm is crazy at the moment, i went back last week and found some bigger models holding shallower around 3 meters, so maybe try that next time
Love the video thanks . I would like to know where do get the small green fish grabber to hold the fish to get the hook out I can only find the larger ones
I picked it up from the bargain box at my tackle store so many years ago, its been brilliant. I haven't seen them since only the bigger ones which can be awkward
G'day Alan I will be ordering the new flattie lure just a question what size jig head should I use for kgw of the beach with turtle back worms ,great videos thanks.
Thank you and Yeah agreed completely with size limits, I said 32cm to start slowly heading in that direction but agree 35cm should be the ultimate goal
This is the legal size and catch limits for Victoria vfa.vic.gov.au/recreational-fishing/recreational-fishing-guide/catch-limits-and-closed-seasons/types-of-fish/marine-and-estuarine-scale-fish/flathead-all-species-except-dusky-flathead ( these are not duskies )
@@fishingmad Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the question, I wasn't in front of the computer a couple of times. I enjoy your videos. Very professional
Hey Allen, I have been trying to catch e.p and Redfin in the upper half of the barwon river past Buckley falls closer to the ring road. Do you have any tips or tricks to catch some because I’m lost for ideas. Absolutely love the videos, cheers
I have fished that system but further up, watch these vids here which might help ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5sYC21mM4YE.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PPgp-EDBBHo.html i found small lightly weighted soft plastics on the edges and structure to be best and shallow diving hard body lures aswell
Yeah we have recently implemented new rules on dusky flathead in Vic too, we mainly only get them in regions like Gippsland, but they are an amazing species so great to see limits making a difference.
Yeah, i'm currently filming a heap of land based vids its been a big focus at the moment, next week will show one of my best vids yet which is land based and Sorrento certainly not out of the question as another spot
Gday Allen, I accidentally broke the rod tip of my light soft plastic rod, And suggestions? I need not to expensive but the 140-180 range would be fine. I want the rod to be suitable for stuff like reddie, trout, snapper, whiting and flattys but it really has to be able to cast soft plastics a bomb. Keep up the great work and tight lines brother 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks for the positive feedback. Shame about your rod. At that price point have a look at things like a NS Amped, Atomic Arrowz, or if you can sneak upto a Shimano Zodias, Shimano TCurve or Daiwa TD Black.
Don’t just ditch the rod, put a new tip on it and glue it on yourself. New ferrules are available from anywhere that sells fishing gear. Your rod will have a slightly heavier action but is still a working rod.
