So good to see that monsters can be caught on light gear, land based, and with a lure that isn’t the size of a legal whiting! There’s hope for us all~ 🎉
In my opinion big lures for flatties are detrimental to actually catching them when land based . Deeper water may be different , but not land fishing . 👍✔🎣
Lovely fish mate 👍 Great to see the big ones still around. Not sure about fish scent. I've caught fish with scent and without scent. Maybe the taste on the scented lure gets them back for a second bite. I can't tell. Fish scent might be an old wives tale or brilliant marketing 😀 Cheers 👍
Oh my gosh shrooman thats a beaaasstt flathead on the light gear, love it!!! Trophy fish like the big jewie you caught under the bridge, bloodworm slim swimz,da bomb 🎉
@@ShroomFishing got my own sea mullet this morning on the diawa version of the slim swimz. 40cm, might have jagged it tbh, got 2 bream, 1 flounder, 1 yellow eye mullet, 1 sea mullet total.
I love shroom he’s so funny and actually produces the best videos out there (aside from josh d) but seriously tho he’s top tier 10/10 and how big was that absolute beast I’m calling 74
I haven’t watched t.v. for at least 15 years, why? Because of you tube and you amazing trailblazers with yr go pros and fishing channels. Well done Shroom, what a great fish. Will you, though use scent next time out?😊
Awesome video Shroom! Just a quick question, how do you find fishing on ferry wharves? I find that every time I send out a live yakka, the ferry always tangles me and the lines get snapped and tangled with the motor. Any Ideas to help? How do you cope with them? It's as if you just can't cast them out and you just have to drop them under.
Scent isn't " cheating", but adding it contradicts the whole reason lure fishing was invented. You take the olfactory senses out of the equation so you feel more satisfaction when you catch them! So you're missing that feeling.That's what "lure" means - it's visual only. A guy I fish with stopped using scent when he watched me catch as many fish doing things properly with no scent.
There were times when me and josh first started chasing smelly slabs at local.he’d use s factor and I didn’t,and a lot of the times I out fished him 3,4 to 1 on jewfish and eps.but sometimes it would be in his favour
Thanks Fred! I might have to come up if fish like that exist! I've caught bigger here but I can't imagine the really big ones are here in the Sydney region these days with the fishing pressure
FUNNY FOR THE WEEK. CAUGHT UP WITH DAUGHTER WELL SHE WAS BEEN SMART GOT HER A RIPPER IN FRONT OF 30 PEOPLE SHE CALL ME A FAT BASTARD LOL I GOT A FEW SCOOBY SNACKS IN SHOPPING I REPLIED CAN YOU SKIP BUT NOT WITH A ROPE FUNNYAS SHE COULD NOT DO IT IT WAS A CRACK UP MUST BE THE FLAKE CHOCOLATE BARS THAT DID THE TRICK CAN YOU SKIP LETS SEE ON NEXT VIDEO 😂😮.
Fish fingers birds eye were cheap last week at Coles for got bag went to buy one it was 15.00 bucks so I walked out and was bloody paper so it was just a tin of that pink shit they call fish 4.00 bucks I was on a winner saved that day lol 😂
I love watching your videos! I’m a terrible fisherman but at least when I watch your videos I can see what success is 😂😂
Thank you! I have a lot of fruitless sessions but I fish hard so sometimes I get lucky with a special catch. I’m glad she swam away strong 💪

Thanks Kit, I know what you mean. Everything geared towards big flathead these days are humongous sized swimbaits and such

Great! I’m not missing out on much then.

A really good fish Shroom. Scent is nice but I often fish without and have good success. It's all in the action, no wobble, no gobble 😆
Thanks Sam! I like using scent, but there is no substitute for a good actioned lure 👍
Great job..SHE was a monster.
My best 36" near 7" across the head.
I put her back in Vaucluse waters..Was to much of a snob!
Well played! Trophy fish! Interesting result as no scent didn't seem to impact however you might have cast a few thousand times more than usual!
Oh my gosh shrooman thats a beaaasstt flathead on the light gear, love it!!! Trophy fish like the big jewie you caught under the bridge, bloodworm slim swimz,da bomb 🎉
Yeahhhh! Thanks Goodonetwo! It got the blood pumping 😎👍

Very productive session, excellent stuff
Very good flattie and great angling skill and patience to land it.
Thanks Cubesy, nothing quite like expecting the leader to pop at any moment but somehow holdin on haha
Absolute monster! Well done with light gear man!
Keep it up :-)
I love the new animated moves you have added. Makes me laugh when its rock on point 😂
Thank you, I love em 😂😂
Nice work. You played the fish like a champion.
Definitely a flathead to get excited about.
Be proud
Thanks Hilton, I was worried that the leader would wear through eventually but luckily it held. I was ecstatic when it swam free
Huge Flattie, well done great catch!!!
I love shroom he’s so funny and actually produces the best videos out there (aside from josh d) but seriously tho he’s top tier 10/10 and how big was that absolute beast I’m calling 74
Honestly, I think you got the size right at 74cm. I was replying to everyone with 73cm and this morning I noticed the file name has 74cm in it haha
@@ShroomFishing hahaha no way
Gotta love getting into a good fish in the mid winter - makes all the punishing days worth it.
That's an awesome flatty mate well done
Thanks Niall, always a shock and welcome surprise
Great flattie mushroom well deserved,hard work pays off. Scent is over rated..! Pop 🎣

Big lizard there Shroom! Got your heart pumping! 😅
Thank you, the blood was pumping hard haha
Helluva flattie Shroom - we’ll done.
Thanks Simon!
Love your work Shroom! Great watching as always!!!!❤
Thank you!!
Really nice fish mate🤙
Good work Shroom... probably goes to show that scent is less important on these ambush predators.
Thanks Jim! Goes to show scent isn’t the only reason why a fish might hit a lure 👍
can't stop watching the videos. Too addicting for me, anyway keep it up, I always love the new videos.
Ahaha thank you Judha! Much love! ❤️
Go, Shroom 😝 that is a lovely old girl, great job mate.
Thanks Wayne! Was a great feeling see the old girl swim away 👍
That was a beautiful flathead, well done.
Shroom made all the Flathead flat lol.
Haha Mario
1_ant stole a rod.
Thanks for letting me know Jim! 😆
Nice big flatty well done mate 🎣💪
Thats a ripper mate, well done.
Nice croc bro, love the patience. Well done
Thank you bro! I was panicking at the end there, I was having nightmares it was gonna go awry. So stoked it went my way!
Late to the party but great fish Shroom. Fishing that spot that i'm guessing a lot of people avoid seems to have paid off.
That’s right Adam, always nice off the beaten path so to speak haha
Hey mate, where is this spot?
Yesss shroom niceee flatty keep up the great work
I appreciate it X3 Grims, good to pull up a croc!

Shroom you beast!! i love it lmao great catch!!
Yeww! Thanks a lot 🤙

Good patience and nice fish.
I appreciate it
Been waiting ! She's here now . 👍✔🎣
Thanks David, sit back and enjoy!

Hey mate u just got a new sub🎉 I just watched ur Kmart vid and ur determination was shown all through the vid
Thanks Luis, glad you enjoyed it 👍
My son look forward to Thu nights to view your new videos. Love your content !

Magnificent flat skull mate ! 👏👏👏🎣
Cheers David
The flatty whisperer
At it again
Haha thanks Aussieas! A fluke I reckon
Shroomsta you legend !
Love your work !
Thanks Mohammad!
dude these dragonball references do not stop coming 😂
The best 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome catch mate! My wife caught a very similar sized fish at the same spot last year. Wonder if it’s the same one?😅
Thank you Alf! I wouldn’t be surprised if it was, I can’t imagine a fish like that is adapted to moving long distances 😎
great job shroom!
Mate we all know the fish expected you to use the scent but took the bite anyway thinking there was scent in there!🤣
Sick sesh tho!
Hahaha I reckon you're right 🤣
Mate, well done, great fish
He changed his hair a little and I’m liking it
I did lol. Probably hat hair or something 🤣

True Mark, you still gotta catch the fish and make em eat it at the end of the day
She was a beautiful fish & caught with skill 👌🏼
Thanks Goz 👍
Hi shroom it's me from the other vid I commented on just want to say keep doing what your doing
Awesome Austin, thank you and enjoy this one!
Great catch mate!!! 💪🏼 that’s the way.
Thank you Sergio. Pleased with that catch. I hope you’ve having a good trip mate!
@@ShroomFishing I’m back in action mate 👍🏻
@@Checho_Torres Awesome, I got some ideas ready to go
Nice catch, Shroom! That fish fought well
Thank you Intensity Density, biggest I've caught on the bream gear
@@ShroomFishing yeah a monster catch is always fun on bream gear. Nice to see the big ones still swimming around here.
Great work mate
Cheers Nbrownie!
Shroomfactor outplays SFactor every time !
Haha thanks Tim!
Wait.. I thought that's what the S stood for.
Love the content brotha
I appreciate it Jayden
Your the best shroom keep it uo
Thank you Youiix!
@@ShroomFishinghow do you catch fish in winter
Well done dude... What a fish
Thanks Michael
I've caught as many without scent. I feel the fish pickup on movement and vibration more than scent. I may be wrong because well, I'm not a fish.
also any recommendation of lure type and brand for threadfin salmon， thanks Shroom.
There were times when me and josh first started chasing smelly slabs at local.he’d use s factor and I didn’t,and a lot of the times I out fished him 3,4 to 1 on jewfish and eps.but sometimes it would be in his favour
Im a believer in scent, seen it work too many times but not all scents Johnny. I’ve seen it work in front of my eyes too in a fish tank lol
Can u try the prolure clone prawn they seem to work really well for the fish in parra
Man, winter is such a struggle. I've caught nothing since May. How do you do it
bloody beautiful man
Thanks Bruce
Way to go 🤙
Nice lizard 🦎
I appreciate it Guranto!
How big was it shroom my pb is 77cm
This one came in at 73cm! Nice one, big fish!
Nice lizard, come up to the Mid North Coast and i'll put you onto flatfish that would eat that model 👌
Thanks Fred! I might have to come up if fish like that exist! I've caught bigger here but I can't imagine the really big ones are here in the Sydney region these days with the fishing pressure
@@ShroomFishing been a good year for large flathead here, 90+cm fish on the regular.
Do u put scent on hardbodies?
Nice flatty Shroom! Did you measure it?
love the dragonball reference lmfao
The best Robbo 😂
Does anyone know where this spot is
Awesome stuff shroom but where was the measure 😅 🤙👏
Thank you, came in at 73cm!
What ? No lube ? No way 🤣🤣🤣
Hahah Ian, the lube certainly helps 🤣🤣
you dont need to reel in those soft plastics to catch fish ?
Well usually you do, sometimes you get a fish on the cast where you don't have to do anything
Respect
Hey shroom, where abouts in parramata river is good for lure and bait fishing
Thanks Zac! I'm liking the bays right now, and the wharves for bait fishing
@@ShroomFishingany specific names and locations cause i looked it up but there are many places
Luv u shroom keep it up
Thanks Charles 😎
@@ShroomFishing np can u do another video on Clifton gardens plz
what a great fish
Thanks
Another W for shroom

FUNNY FOR THE WEEK. CAUGHT UP WITH DAUGHTER WELL SHE WAS BEEN SMART GOT HER A RIPPER IN FRONT OF 30 PEOPLE SHE CALL ME A FAT BASTARD LOL I GOT A FEW SCOOBY SNACKS IN SHOPPING I REPLIED CAN YOU SKIP BUT NOT WITH A ROPE FUNNYAS SHE COULD NOT DO IT IT WAS A CRACK UP MUST BE THE FLAKE CHOCOLATE BARS THAT DID THE TRICK CAN YOU SKIP LETS SEE ON NEXT VIDEO 😂😮.
3m flatty for sure
That was might bream gear PB, I haven't caught a bigger one of the light stuff (came in at 73cm)!
when I go fishing, I don't use scent and I get a lot of fish. but I fish is fresh Water.
Sounds good, I haven't used scent much for fresh either
do you normally fish at high tide or low?
I like high tide but I fish whenever I am able to
If the scent helps to catch fish , fine I would use it, no problem
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't
You deserve that big flatty 👍
Thanks Christopher
HUGE! Was she 70?
She measured 73cm in the end 😎
@@ShroomFishing🤯
I've had more success not using scent. But hey, still got a fish
Yeah it’s one of those things in fishing, a lot of grey Dave
Can I talk to you about soft plastics
I'm a big fan for 2 years I keep changing accounts
How do you catch fish in winter

@@ShroomFishing true lol.
okay, i like you dude but ofc you can catch fish with no scent
Don't take it too seriously I make em for your enjoyment 👍
@@ShroomFishing alright man, didnt mean to offend you if i did i was just trying to make a point, great content btw
No offense taken and I appreciate it 👍
@@ShroomFishing youre welcome bro im glad
Sent doesn't make a difference
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I think it has a minor effect but it doesn't determine everything
🙋♂️
Enjoy!
EVER WONDER WHY THEY GIVE THEM NAMES LIKE BEEF THIS & CHIKEN THAT?
😅 U KNOW
They make us hungry Louisel!
Have had plenty of success with out using scent ever
No doubt about that Craig 👍
LESGOOO
IT's go time!
