Hey Awesome video Tackle Tasticks Thank you so much for showing me how to catch Dusky Flathead on Soft Plastics Cheers WILLIAM !!
Pearl colour is working a treat for me lately with flatheads, they love it!
Love ya work mate I really do. Love Zmans to. But seeing flathead get hung up and thrash around with stainless steel lip grips makes me cringe. Iv seen lips get broken or torn handling flathead this way. Iv even done it myself when I was learning. Iv learnt now how to hold them now makes live easier. Specially when using gloves.
Yeah, no respect for the fish. The net holds them and pliers to de-hook is all that is required.
i only want to say thank u justin you are my go to angler.
Great video mate thanks for taking us along with you
Was good to get some info i was looking for.
Great video. Love the fact that you tell us the gear you are using and methods.
Go the GrubZ! I love my MinnowZ, but there is no doubt that the GrubZ are a very effective lure too. Not much out there won't eat a curl tail with an action as good as that!
Cheers Mate.
I was a grub guy, now I'm kinda liking slim swimz because the tail doesn't get jagged up
Question.....how long do you stay on a particular colour, if you're not getting anything before trying another?
I would change spots or retrieved before changing colours
Love your videos mate. Noted with the tactics, btw where is this and is there a best spot you know off?
When you said flat heads, I was looking for the American flat head catfish. I don't recognize those fish.
Yep, sorry mate, these are an Australian table fish caught all around the entire nation. They can grow to about 1m but about 40cm is usual (although there is a qld fella who caught a 3m flatly but he got lost in the mangroves with some fella called Merv).
So any Australian or New Zealand show mentioning flathead this is the fish. Taste good.
Love the grubz if I don't catch atleast 30 fish a session there is something wrong 😂
The Amount of times big flatheads have bit me off, it so annoying but atleast you know they are out there.
The biggest flathead I have caught was 38cm
dynamite
Hello Justin. Can you tell me why you didn't take that flathead?? Is is because it was too big. From what I understand; the larger flatties cannot be taken for eating, or was there just some other reason???. PS, I wrote to you for some advice about a week ago when you were fishing for flatties with your dad but no response thus far
