    Nice vid, but most flatty fisherman know that in order to land a 3m+ flatty you should be using a halco popper with nothing less than 40lb. Trust me i watch rex hunt and he knows how to catch the dogs.

    • @SammyHitzkeFishing

      yeah I'm thinking I need to upgrade the gear to have a chance at the 3m ones. I also heard you can catch them on live QLD grouper as well

      Your all wrong the only chance you got to even get a 2.8 is to chuck a whole chook out

    Nice video again Sammy! Some good flatties. Take some home? Weird to see blue trim on a tailor too! New species?

      @SammyHitzkeFishing  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jetfisher cheers mate! Some nice ones caught, but not the big girl we wanted! Didn’t keep anything apart from the tailor on that trip. They got lucky 😂😂 . I don’t think the tailor would be a new species, just really clean water maybe? Definitely looked cool!

      @SammyHitzkeFishing  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cheers mate! thanks for tuning in!, I was using a few different outfits, but the main two were a 1000 sustain spooled with 6lb braid on a 1-4kg Savage gear Salt rod. The other was a 3000 stradic with 11lb braid and a 8ft savage gear salt rod. both a nice and light, I change between them when I'm using different lures

      I could see the resemblance, say hello to him for me. We fished together 30-40 years ago, have a photo he took of me somewhere when we went fishing out the front of Bulwer and I caught a big cod. We must have been in our early 20's, time goes quick

    When was this filmed? I didn’t know there’s still decent sided flatties on the flat in summer I though that dropped off into the deep water

    • @SammyHitzkeFishing
      @SammyHitzkeFishing  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      JT 10 filmed a couple of weeks ago mate,
      They definitely still sit up on the flats in summer, they are just a little more spread out than during their spawning season. During sept-oct-nov they head deep to spawn 👌

    • @JT-vm5ww
      @JT-vm5ww 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sammy Hitzke Fishing do you still target them in summer?

    • @SammyHitzkeFishing
      @SammyHitzkeFishing  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I really target them at all for many years, but I will be targeting them all year round now. I’ve got the flattie bug!

  • @mikig1021
    @mikig1021 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    A trick you can use when a flatty spikes you, rub the belly of the flatty on the cut it stops the bleeding.

  • @mackenziesoutar3853

    What creek system is this because where I live you don’t get many on the flats

    • @SammyHitzkeFishing
      @SammyHitzkeFishing  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mackenzie Soutar hey mate, it’s an estuary in northern NSW. The flathead hold in different areas in each system. They adapt to the area

    • @rydershaw1046
      @rydershaw1046 5 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @poohead8780
    @poohead8780 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If u get spiked by a flatty, rub the spiked area under neath it’s belly, the slime is an anti venom and stops the bleeding

    Hey Sammy, how's it going mate? I noticed in some of your videos when you are targeting wahoo that you don't use an esky. It looks like an insulated cold bag. The question is what are they called and where you can buy them from? Thanks.

    • @SammyHitzkeFishing
      @SammyHitzkeFishing  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nicholas Van Krieken hey mate, yeah they are a soft insulated bag. Really handy as you can store them out of the way and still keep you fish cold! BCF do a version of them now, they should be available in most stores, the one I’m using is called a fish chiller bag from blue bottle tackle.

    • @nicholasvankrieken2818
      @nicholasvankrieken2818 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1
