Hunting a Metre Flathead on the Gold Coast

  • In this video we spend two days showing you how to fish for big Flathead in shallow waters, using swimbaits and large divers. A metre Flathead is something Bergie has been chasing for years and with a few big girls getting caught on the Gold Coast it seems like the perfect time to try and hunt one down.
    The break in filming for Fishing Addiction has allowed us to head out on the water with Rodney and put our fishing skills to the test.
