Nothing better than a morning coffee and a good flathead video. Thank you!
Hahaaa. Gotta love a glass out fishing video ;) though nothing beats coffee
@@mylurebox haha.
I'm going to give those techniques a whirl next weekend!
Love all the Flathead content lately and great job on the lure podcast too John 👍🏻 legend
Thanks mate. Stoked to hear you’re enjoying it. How good is that podcasting platform Greg has built for everyone
Great content as usual !
I'm hooked
Good to know you’re enjoying em Anthony. Cheers
Hiya Mate,
Bloody awesome set up luv watching your vids Mate keep em on comin :-)
Thanks a lot Malte ;) I’ll keep making em for sure. Lots to share this season
Very informative John, I'm not much of a troller but you've got me keen to give it a go!
You should do a walk through vid on your boat!
Thanks mate. I’ll put something together on it ;) I
Prefer to cast myself but trolling can get the numbers going or help locate those patches
loved your tutorial awesome really helps
Good to hear it Dan. Cheers mate
That rapala Jack deep lime colour is my go to for flathead. 78cm pb with it. Clear water and the flathead can't resist
Love the video! Going to give that jack deep ago this weekend
Good to hear mate. I really like em. Easy to feel they’re running right and good little profile.
great video.
Thanks for your comments on my videos CJ ;)
terrific thank you - really helped my kayak fishing!! what trolling speed would you recommend ?
Another good video John. Ive tried the dropping rod with some added rips every now and then, I also suspect it gets results. I've been playing around with trolling vibes like the zx40 and it seems to work, they seem to be less inclined to fouling with weed too.
Thanks Gary. I’ll have to give it a go. I’m doing plenty of trolling with my little kids at the moment so less fouling would be a win for sure
Great videos mate informative and easy to watch . A tip for u burn that cap and get a decent hat skin cancer is no fun.
Thanks a lot Jack, I’ve gotta make the change for sure mate. I’ll keep it in mind and get my eyes out for something fitted that holds in the wind. Have you got any suggestions for something you like ?
Good advice mate, dropping that rod back is the way to go and a quick couple of jerks after the drop back has worked a treat for me. Was waiting for you to get a double hook up you would be like those olympic rowers lol. good tips to on landing them so many people skull drag em to the boat and the drag set light also helps if you get snagged, waiting for your next vid, ps got my PB flathead sunday 78cm on plastic doin what you said about mixing up the retrieve thanks
Thanks for watching as always Murray. That’s bloody brilliant about your PB ;) great time of year to start chasing a few
@@mylurebox Thanks mate, yep probably thursday, weather and tides look good for sunny coast passage area, maybe up my PB i hope, appreciate the reply. Cheers
Mate. Tried this technique yesterday and literally 3rd or 4th time I dropped it back- BOOM! 78cm flatty! So good!!!
So stoked to hear it mate!!
Great instructural video, what speed 2, 3, or 4 do you set your ipilot electric motor to?
Saludos a migo que buen video
That Sianna got one 2010 just give it too a work mate this year with original braid on it 20lb serve me well lots of big fish I got on live bait over the years set you back $70 bucks for the reel
Great video. Trying to decide on a 6', 6'6" or 7' for Skip casting, fishing from the creek or river.
I like shorter for better accuracy myself. As long as it is soft enough to load for a skip it’ll be. All good
@@mylurebox Thanks for your reply.
Hi mate if your trolling in the shallows do you still use them deep diver?? Won’t that just stir up the bottom or is that what you are trying to do I no faltties are a bottom fish I just thought it might put them off something digging the bottom up
Hi John, nice video, ive tried trolling in the passage but the weed drove me insane, and how good are the Trion rods, I have a couple of 2-4 kg and a 1-3 kg, best value rod out there ad the top grip is in just the right spot as I run the braid through my first 2 fingers holding the rod as I wind, 2 reasons for this, 1 I feel every touch and 2 it eliminates wind knots, ie all the line is laid on the reel under slight tension, I started doing this when I worked out how hard braid is to untangle..
Mate that’s an interesting little point I’ll have to give it a crack with my lighter set ups. Cheers. Love the trions !
Another great video. Thanks a lot. What speed do you like to troll at for flatty?
It definitely varies depending on the Lure I’m running but walking or slower than is a fair way to start. I reckon 1m of water is the go too
Cheers mate. Appreciate the reply.
i found catch rate for flathead greatly improoved when i stopped use fluro leader and used mono or copo. same principal as you you said with stiff rods without give .. fluro has no stretch. i find it terrible for flathead. making the change worked wonders for me but to each there own. nice tips tho mate the pause on the troll is a good idea
That’s interesting to hear. I’ve heard varying things re. The stretch comparison and also how visible ‘invisible’ Fluro actually is. I know it’s often fairly easy to pick up with my Lure swimming videos if there plenty of light so I’m still unsure myself. Thanks for giving me something further to consider though. Might have to take a look at a few mono options
@@mylurebox I use Copolymer is the go mate. Unitika is one example. Its Mono with a extrusion of Fluro on the outer skin basically. Get the invisibility of the fluro but the stretch of the mono.
Hey John
I was wondering nfs if you new anybody who you could pay to put flooring and a casting deck on a boat around the Gold Coast
Cheers
Hey bro. It can be quite expensive depending on what you’re after. DIY is definitely a good option to get the confidence and skills down to do it. Otherwise check out Speccustoms.com.au
I use Pete for a lot of my custom fabrications.
Not sure if you'll see this comment given that the video is from three years back but I was interested in your remark that one metre trolling depth is the go. Wouldn't the lure be bottoming too much at that depth. Thanks John.
Gday Warren ;) thanks for your comment. I usually troll around that 1-1.5m. I run the lure about 10-20m out back and use a high rod tip to pull her up Off the bottom if she’s too shallow. There’s plenty of fish in those shallow areas esp. if you’re running beside the weed. :) Cheers
@@mylurebox Thanks for the prompt response John.
hey man I recently got a Halco Laser Pro 45mm is that any good
Good for Bass and even Flatties I like em
2.8m for sure the dawg.
Love that we have a bloke that mad making some content eh. I think 2.8 might be around forever now. Hahaha. Surely he’ll make your end of year auzzie fishing youtubers wrap up?!
I’m all over mate 😉
I guess I was mistaken. The thumbnail show the nice fish being taken. After watching for 13 minutes I’ve instructions…… No fish?
Sorry Steve. She’s just a run through if some tactics. There’s a few big bigs captured here and it’s a 1minute vid. Might be more the kinda action you were hoping for th-cam.com/video/_GTZiUlJsbk/w-d-xo.html
Don't put "Tides" in the title if you not going to talk about tides.
