Yeah I found out the hard way that it’s a no fishing zone the other day when a male Karen ripped it up me. He took my photo so I filmed him. Pretty funny to be honest.
Great video mate. Im heading down to the GC this weekend and will be staying near the star. Any recommendations on locations close to there that I can get onto a few flatties?
G'day Liam, what a great vid, fishing spots like that looks like fantastic fun, here in Melbourne I have no idea where I could do that. Anyway I was wondering what were the specs on the Daiwa hyper spinning rod you were using with the 3" plastic for the flatties, I am looking for something a little gutsier than my 1-4kg infeet ex. Cheers.
That pontoon has some massive bream under it they were chasing a small prawn, Went swimming there a couple of years ago was shocked at the size of them at least 45 to 50 cm.
@@LiamFitzpatrick Hey mate. Just another question whats the hook you are using for the crabbys it looks different to the other ones and also whats bait/lures etc has worked best for you there?
@@LiamFitzpatrick Hahaha nice one mate thats a good way to put it. Thanks again champ! ill go out and test the waters see how i go. So im guessing you use the hidden weighted ones for the gulp shrimp to
Not on water based bio baits like Gulp and Ecogear Aqua unless they’ve dried out a bit. But I’ll put S-Factor or Gulp Scent on anything rubber or hard mate.
@@LiamFitzpatrick Thanks for the quick reply. What about Z-man 2.5 inch grubs ? I was chucking a line in the Tweed over the last couple days and getting no nibbles on the plastic, but plenty on prawns. Didn't hook anything decent of course, just tiddler bream. I have some Gulp mini lobsters, might try those.
You need to keep moving around mate. Bio baits will work better on bream but you have to fish light and close to structure. You can fish heavier for flathead and they aren’t as smart as bream.
@@LiamFitzpatrick Yeah, I'm using a light rig, still on mono, tried a few different spots, and yep, looking for structure. I keep running into crap weather too, when I'm home from work. It's all good fun though.
LOL...the local fun POLICE ..YOU CAN NOT FISH THERE. MATE. . THERES SIGNS UP THERE. 🤣🤣 ...I would love if he had said that to me ...the guy needs to GET A LIFE .. WHATS NEXT ...A SIGN SAYING YOU NO STANDING OR BREATHING AIR IN THIS AREA...😂😂
Yeah I learned a while ago that people go through shit and you can’t blame them for dumb shit in a moment because you don’t really know what has bought them there. Treat each other like the other has lost everything and everyone and imagine how that feels before you tear em to shreds.
I know I have really bad luck for starters, but I reckon I was doing a lot right. Around structure from bank chucking well presented bait of bread pressed around hook and Zmann Grub in Motoroil W/scent, then fishing out from Pool edge with Cranka Hardbody Shallow Diver with a generous amount of scent, even around hooks. Hardly got a touch all morning. Tides good and water quality quite clear.
Awesome. Good to see fellas. Live just down the road. Love fishing here.
Plenty of land based options if you get out and look around down there.
Thanks for another great land based session Liam. Pls. keep em coming! 👍🏼💯
Cheers bloke.
Keepin it real boys nice to see cause we're all human. You's found them..👍🏼
Cheers mate.
This place where you fish is very beautiful and there are lots of fish
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Australia is a beautiful part of the world mate. Have you fished here before?
@@LiamFitzpatrickyep
Awesome trip well done bloke
Cheers mate.
awesome video mate! fished there a few times, it always delivers!
also mate whats the name of that little yabbie looking lure you were using? looks like a bream magnet
Ecogear Aqua Bream Prawn or BP50 mate.
Great way to spend the day, a few fish with a mate what could be better🍺🎣
Always good time mate.
by sure my fav video on youtube
Cheers mate, I appreciate you saying that.
Nice Job Liam 🤙
Cheers Mick.
Great video lads,
Thanks brother.
looks like a fun day out ;-}
Always when ya fishing with good mates.
Hey mate, what is the location of this spot it looks great 🎉
Just at Southport around the swimming enclosure area mate.
👍👍👍🎣🎣great bait mate . josss
Cheers 👍🏻
Had a cast in that enclosure one arvo. Hooked 5 flattys ... they definitely get stuck in there
Yeah I found out the hard way that it’s a no fishing zone the other day when a male Karen ripped it up me. He took my photo so I filmed him. Pretty funny to be honest.
Great video! Where is the last place you guys fishing?
Just a lake down the Goldy mate.
Awesome
Cheers 👊🏻
Nice fishes. I’ll try fish near the park at Southport and hopefully catch some flattys. Do people fish there often?
Yeah as much as any land based spots mate.
Great video mate.
Im heading down to the GC this weekend and will be staying near the star. Any recommendations on locations close to there that I can get onto a few flatties?
No idea where that is mate but a quick google earth search will show you a heap of flats worth fishing.
I catch fish right where the star is. There’s canals galore.

It’s a 7’ 1.5-3kg mate.
whats wrong with your 1-4 infeet for flathead, i was looking to get one
grate vid mate
Cheers Rigga.
Can u tell me what lure to catch a trevally
They love poppers and topwater mate but burning some baitfish looking soft plastics around when they are feeding can’t hurt either 😉

Yeah that’s crazy mate.
Hey mate thanks for the video. Just a question whats the hook size and brand?
Mostly run 1/4oz 1/0, 2/0 & 3/0 in TT mate depending on size of the bait. My spin gear I run light gauge hooks for better penetration.
@@LiamFitzpatrickawesome thankyou mate!
@@LiamFitzpatrick Hey mate. Just another question whats the hook you are using for the crabbys it looks different to the other ones and also whats bait/lures etc has worked best for you there?
TT 1/40oz Hidden Weight size 1 or 1/0. Crabby for bream, shrimp for the win 😉
@@LiamFitzpatrick Hahaha nice one mate thats a good way to put it. Thanks again champ! ill go out and test the waters see how i go. So im guessing you use the hidden weighted ones for the gulp shrimp to
Good thing is this spot and surrounding is accessible by public transport too haha. For the slack pricks like me without their license :P
Yeah you need to sort that out mate. So much more you could go fish.
Would you recommend vanford 2500, 10ld braid and a 7” zodias a good combo for flathead/ bream etc. what lb rod?
If you’re only throwing up to 1/4oz the 7’ 5-10lb would be sweet as mate.
@@LiamFitzpatrick awesome thank you!
Do u know any abandoned places?
Not really mate but with so many watery options on the Gold Coast you’ll find ya own secret spots in no time.
Very enjoyable video Liam. I'm useless with plastics. Do you think small hardbodies would have any success in that first area you fished?
Yeah they’ll work. The snot weed in that area would be my concern.
Is this the flats of Labrador and what tide were you fishing
Yeah was the last of the run out mate.
Do you use scent on your plastics ? I'm trying to get into using them, but not getting any nibbles.
Not on water based bio baits like Gulp and Ecogear Aqua unless they’ve dried out a bit. But I’ll put S-Factor or Gulp Scent on anything rubber or hard mate.

You’re gunna want to start running braid mate. Mono and plastics fishing is a hard combination.
Was it high or low tide If you don’t mind
Run out mate.
Mate loved the session mate. How good is the accessibility on the Goldie mate. Keep em coming. Thanks
Cheers mate I’m glad you enjoyed the simplicity of it.
What lures
I’m sure I say it in the vid mate, 3” Gulp Shrimp and 2” Gulp Crabby with a XZone Mini Swammer from memory.
Thank you. I wasn't aware of the weed.
Can be a problem at times mate.
Karen's got a yeast infection by the sounds
🤣

@@LiamFitzpatrick mate what a well considered reply.
Clearly you do not suck, unlike me who has gone several session doughnuts one after another
Mate if you went down there and did what I did you’d catch for sure.

Yeah what I find is you gotta keep moving, always have the next spot in mind based on what’s going on at that spot.
@@justinadams5159 i feel you mate, keep at it mate ...happens to all of us
Confidence is key.
