Jerk-baiting for flathead
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- G'day Legends, This week I was lucky enough to head out with Troy Dixon from Wilson Fishing to trial their newly released lure, the Zerek 130mm 'Defiance'. Even though the fishing was tough at times, the 'Defiance' accounted for all of the larger flathead caught over the two days of fishing, including both of the 70cm+ fish. It's definitely earnt a spot in my tackle box!
For your chance to WIN the Flattie pack valued at $200 plus Kord's flattie smacking pearl 'Defiance' head over to / wilson_fishing at 8:00am AEST, Monday 17th August and look for the corresponding picture.
To check out any of the tackle used in todays video head over to www.wilsonfishi...

Happy Sunday legends! My first big Croc of the season 😍😍😍 who’s keen to see some more flattie action over the coming months?!? 🍻
Only if it’s caught with a whole woollies chook😂🎣
I would love some flatty action but bloke on bloke action would be better
DnA Wombat As they say your not a man until ya had a man now fu#k off 😂🤣
Bring on the flatties!
Take me out mate, you will outfish me haha
We've all got that one friend who can catch fish seemingly at will. That person also has a friend who can do the same, and out-fishes them too. It's good to know that sometimes everyone has tough days. You just have to keep casting!
Rocket's Fishing Adventures bloody oath mate, gotta just keep casting and hope a big girl is waiting there for you at the end of the second day! 🍻🍻
Awesome mate, those big Lizards are so cool. They can be super aggressive at times, always funny when the smaller ones will take a lure as big or bigger than themselves.
Staunch Pirate Productions haha yeah bloody the hungry little critters! You would have got some crocs back in your SEQ days wouldn’t you?
@@SammyHitzkeFishing yea mate, got a couple of decent lizards while we were up there and missed a couple of real big ones. I remember having one smaller one on and a big croc came up behind it I thought it was going to take the smaller hooked Flatty but then just swam off, cool fish for sure.
Great video Sammy! Love the drone shots!! Keep up the great work
Flathead time again mate ! Amazing. I can't believe we're in August again
LessTalk MoreFishing I know! This year has flown! I’m hoping I can run into a few more big ones before the season is through!
PB 55 cm. Favourite lure has to be that definance looks awesome😍
Steven Leaney They are a sexy looking bit of kit! 🍻🍻
I saw Timmy Turtle catch a Lizzard almost a meter long in 600 of water one day ,, It was huge
That’s your problem now.....😂😂😂😂😂🤙🤙🤙 epic stuff as always.
monkey sponk 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheers mate 🍻🍻
Beautiful water; Brisbane water?
Thanks for the great video. If you don’t mind me asking, what area are you guys fishing - don’t need exact spots but general area?
Fuck, I just got through an hour long Sammy episode where Seano was catching all the Kingies and there is another episode to watch straight after it..... :)
Forgive me for sounding ignorant, but when did lures become bait?
i"ve catch 1 of those flathead in guatemala like the size of my arm i dindt know it was edible to eat so i let it go
Is it normal for people to fall over so many times when fishing?
Great video man. Never seen flathead caught this way keep them coming man!
SC Fishing Adventures Cheers mate! Appreciate the support 🍻
Awesome job Sammy!!! Loved the drone release following that flattie, mate that was Sick!!
Mitch Hausler Cheers mate! Yeah turned out epic hey! So cool when the waters clear!
Taxiii. He drunk 😂😂😂 that was funny asf

Jai Tanner yeah looking at doing a reef trip in the near future mate 👌

Daniel Cunningham 🍻🍻
Awesome video man, just found your channel! Subbed :)
PB flatty would have to be 54cm favourite lure was the definance

Sammy Hitzke Fishing yes 4 sure just finished decking out my tinny.
nice vid!
I'm in the u.s. one day I'd love to go fishing with you.
Thank you. For the ❤️. I love your channel
Great show Sammy. I'd be happy with a session like that. Mine are usually full of donuts.
Up the jerk bait! Hard to beat chasing flatty’s on light gear in the estuaries, onya sammy 🍻
Adventure Bound 🙌🙌🙌 thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it 🍻🍻
Sammy what’s the name of the pearl lure and how big is it
Get the dogs
Hey Sammy, enjoyed the video and catching a big girl at the end, bonus! Just disappointed as I don't have an instagram account to enter for the lure pack. Christ, I think I'm doing well to send and receive emails...................ha ha ha
Paul Derbridge Ahhh bugger! Sorry mate!
Glad you liked the video though 🍻🍻
Quote "I'm not even hooking then in the mouth anymore + I can't catch em". Reality is that most fish use there body to "smack their prey" + stun them before eating them. Using lures is different from bait of course when a punter drops a bit of meat and waits...... I used to think I fouled hooked a fish when using lures then through a bit of study I discovered. I had a legitimate catch. Excellent example of lures working. Thanks for the vid fellas. Cheers Gaz
gazpixs yeah 100% agree with you mate, a lot of time the hook placement will depend on the fishes mood when it goes past them. Cheers for tuning in 🍻🍻
Outa my boat Sammy. I'm not ok in the head and not living my best life but not a can't be on video tragic. Hopefully can put you on summer passage Queenies.
Wayne Mee haha which boat is your boat? Th infamous passage queenies you reckon! Always keen 🍻🍻
Pb flattie is 50cm on the trusty Zman 3inch motor oil grubz, loved the video and I like the look of the tango shad
Daniel Cunningham nice mate! Yeah the tango shads catch heaps of fish! They are killers!
Awesome video mate. love flathead fishing. Try samaki vibes they smash them went on a boys trip into middle creek a month ago and cleaned up.
Adam Tapiolas Cheers mate thanks for tuning in! Yeah nice! I haven’t fished middle creek yet, heard a good things though
Worked in a tackle shops for a few years. Any lure will catch a fish. The manufacturers make all the different colors to catch fisherman....
Fish Hunt confidence in your gear is the key to success 👌
Great overhead footage of the release from the drone.
@ about 48:00 I tried to reach in and save your beer, twice, that fall and then that fish flopping around.
You guys have too much fun. This is a double plus motivator to get out and enjoy what you can.
Nice final fish.
Craig McCann hahah I know! Somehow it never spilt 🍻🍻
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed the video🙌
Great stuff mate! Awesome flatty
Beast Fishing thanks mate! 🍻🍻
Great video. What tango shads do you use?
At least a couple of dirty comments per video, you can’t help yourself can ya Sammy 😉
Dean Smith hahaha gotta slip them in somewhere 🤣🤣
Are they cheaper than the 120 Daiwa Doubble Clatch same colour range?
John Waddell they have their own colour range mate, and I’m not 100% sure on the price tag yet. They should be well priced though👍
Sammy, what brand are those lip grips that were used on the big girl? They look very practical and handy.
Steve Stratford hey mate, they are Mustad 👌👌🍻🍻
Love ya work Sammy watch all ya videos nice flathead mate and almost lost the big fella over the side after he netted ya fish.
Jay Gould Cheers legend! Yeah we both stacked it in the exact Same spot 🤣🤣 thanks for tuning in 🍻🍻
Great video Sammy
Get the net fishing Cheers mate 🍻🍻🍻
ripper video sammy
probably should get my hands on a few would like to see some flattie action next weekend
Anna Steogen Cheers Anna! Yeah they are definitely worth having in the tackle box 👌👌
Voi ridete troppo, e questo mi rompe le scatole...
Where'd you get your hat Sammy ? I need one !
One of your best Sammy, and great to see a couple of flattie legends in the Vid too. Look forward to some surface action and swim baiting this season.
Michael Randall cheers Michael! Appreciate the support mate 🍻🍻 yeah hoping to crack some really big ones this season on the glides!
STONKA flatty mate 🤙
STONKA FISHING TV Thanks mate! 🍻🍻
Top work as always and nice long vid . Really enjoyed and you got there in the end like a good film ends .
Shaun Turner haha yeah got very I think with the last one, couldn’t have scripted it any better! Cheers mate 🍻🍻
Classic banter and chat with Troy. Good way to finish session.
Khaki Army Cheers mate! Got very lucky with that last fish!
Hey Sammy just wondering if you know when they are for sale
EctoDog 3000 They are already in some shops now, but should be able to be special ordered by any tackle shop that stocks zerek lures 👌🍻🍻
Reminds me of inshore fishing here in the states for redfish and speckled trout
Skylar Young Yeah nice! I’d love to get over and chase them one day!
well done persistence pays off
Good grab on the flatty Sammy love the vids mate keep em coming 🤙🤙
Adam Quirk haha had to get one right sooner or later! 🤣🤣🍻🍻
Notice that Dicko (assume he is right handed) uses his dominant hand to get a real finesse twitch to his plastics. That's a pretty good reason to delegate the left hand to winding duty if you haven't already. Good episode!!
daryl eaves I fish with my dominant hand on the rod as well 😉👌👌 works a treat!
It's taken me more days on the water than I'd care to admit too after 30+ years of being right handed and holding the rod in my left hand and reeling with the righthand to swap over..
I love chasing crocs. Nice video mate
PortsFishing It’s bloody good fun isn’t it! 🍻🍻
Just short of the 3m record mate.
Get the dog!!!
I reckon I would have kept a couple of those early ones for a feed.
63off Yeah mate got some prime eaters, just wasn’t chasing a feed this time 👍
Nice fish. It was worth the wait.
Thanks very much! Definitely made us work for it 😂😂
Great👍👍👍
yewwwwww beer in hand, best way to cap the weekend off!
Von Crum enjoy mate! 🍻🍻
What a good way to a session, I’m stoked for you both 🤙🏻
HW Cheers mate! Was good to finally nail the big girl in the end! 🍻🍻
I caught a 10 cm flatly on a 25 gram fcl labo
Lincoln Nave haha that’s a fair old effort!
Speechless LOL, you are never speechless!
Scott Tucker hahah this is true, I reckon I’d have a crack at talking underwater 🤣
Bit of Lizard action, love it old mate.
Hopeless Fisher haha cheers mate! Everyone loves a flattie fish 💪💪
Excellent..
Marine Biodiversity and Aquaculture cheers mate 🍻🍻
What do you do for a job Sammy or do you just do TH-cam
Mitchell Crossett I work for myself mate in content creation. So TH-cam is apart of it but not the only job 👍
Sammy Hitzke Fishing what do you do just curious not being rude
We got similar fish in Oman🇴🇲
Haitham al-hashmi oh nice! Do they get quiet large as well?
Awesome Video Sammy!!!!
Wattle & Daisy - Flowers and Interiors Thanks Mads 🍻🍻
Great vid sammy!
Austins Fishing thanks legend 🍻🍻
The only thing to improve the vid would have been old mate completing his backwards somersault over the side!
Thor_68 hahah I almost did the same 🤣🤣
Just the video I needed 😍
Mathew Vella Enjoy mate 🍻🍻
Hey Sammy, might seem simple but how would you attach you lure to your leader with this light gear? Just a snap swivel? Cheers
Clint Rzoska Hey mate, I usually just tie the lure on with a loop knot. Search Lefty’s loop if you wanna see a tutorial 👍👍
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Cheers Sammy, You had me at loop knot :) I think you did a vid of knots in the ol Fisho days...loving the tackle talks BTW
First comment

Richard Anderson hahah that back cut out got both of us! 🤣🤣
love ya sammy but that was a bloody hard watch mate 1hour for 3 fish youtube worthy tbh old mate saved it with the last summersault at the end or i would of had to have a break from these videos mate. most are quality but some like these are just flat out too long quality not quantity for me personally
Cody Beale the long vids aren’t for everyone mate, but a lot of people really enjoy the extra stuff 🍻🍻
