@@ianbertenshaw4350 Spot on... you can access some pretty shallow, isolated and productive water... it's pretty chilled and a good option when the weather is average too. Hope you're getting stuck into a few. Cheers, Justin
Hey @markgorham7344, noted and hopefully plenty more land based stuff to come. There are plenty of fish out there to be caught land based, which has been proven by keen land based anglers like Cameron Cronin, so we hope you are connecting to some quality fish soon from the bank. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Hey Kmiommi, Thanks for the kind words and the big rap ;) that should fire me up to get out and make a few more vids. Hope all's well and you're finding a fish. Cheers, Justin
Hey @yep.ultralight, you don't always have to bring the lure back with the flow, but when you can it presents more naturally and generally gets the bites. Hope you're hooked up soon. Cheers, Justin
Hey @lou67411, Thanks for touching base and great to hear that the Sling Bag is doing the job for you. I think your message could just fire me up to grab mine and head out for another land-based session. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Hey @user-jn3zm4zr2h, thanks for the positive comment and noted on your key points. Definitely a simple and relaxing way to find a fish, that can also be very productive at times. Hope you get out and into a few soon. Cheers, Justin
Hey @lesfredericks4232, we just happened to rock up and the tide looked okay but was dropping fast, so we thought we would have a quick flick there. The sand was running out of the hour glass but we felt like there should be a decent one there and were stoked when it ate. Good times. Thanks for the kind words and all the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
@@timwong-see7965 Hope all's well and you're finding a fish. Some days are tougher than others and I do remember a day when nothing seemed to go right and I caught nothing ;). They say that we learn more on the tough days and we probably do... but my take is that the tough days make the hot bites even better. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Hey @pacman5590, I will fish across current, up and down current, however I have found that the stronger the flow, the more I prefer to fish naturally back with the flow. This allows you to keep the plastic in the strike zone more effectively, drive it more effectively and the flathead will generally tuck into current breaks around deeper sections, structure, points, weed patches, etc., ambushing prey that moves past with the flow. Mix it up when you fish, but keep in mind what key structure is available in the area, how it might impact the water flow and in turn where the fish may be sitting an ambush. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Awesome video Justin ! I’m looking forward to trying your sling bag ! I have one from another manufacturer- starts with D . Anyhow it was a pain to use , not big enough and when I was fishing it always seemed that what I wanted was out of reach and it was too small to be of any use . The TT one looks like it has been well thought out and watching this video it seems like it can be set up so everything is at hand and within reach with minimal movement of the bag .
Hey @ianbertenshaw4350, thanks for the kind words on the vid. We designed the Tackle Sling Bag based on frustrations with the current options available, so hopefully we have made this one a bit more functional and user friendly. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
@@tackletacticstv7687 I haven’t used it yet but did have a play with it , so far I’m impressed and there is plenty of room . The other one was over thought imho and it had little pouches on the strap that really didn’t fit anything and the phone pocket didn’t fit my phone .
Hey @yep.ultralight, The Okuma Hakai is designed for casting light lures and features some unique design elements to reduce weight and increase performance. It would be worth a look and hopefully more to come. Fish on! Cheers, Justin
Hey @user-tb3tb8ih7c, hope all's well and you're finding a fish. Grab a TT Vortex spinnerbait - compact frame and quality components, a 2.5" Slim SwimZ on a 1/0 TT HeadlockZ jighead and a TT Jig Spinner to attach for added flash and vibration. That should get you hooked up to a few in no time. Fish on! Cheers, Justin
Hey @MarkOzFishNSW, I have worn Mako sunnies for about 25 years, but have unfortunately stepped on my last two pairs, so running a pair of backup Tonic sunnies at the moment. Most of the big name brands will do the job and they need to meet Australian standards... important to find some that fit your head, with lenses that suit the fishing that you do. Time for some new Makos for me... and a strap to hang them around my neck. ;) All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
That’s a lot of gear. I take a Daiwa Satchel that sits between my shoulder blades with a tiny tackle box (5 jig head, 5 plastics, 1 surface lure, 1 vibe and 1 shallow running hardbody), scent, pliers, scissors and leader. Nothing else. Keep it small and light when you are wading the flats.
Hey @mudgut69, good to hear you're getting out and wading the flats. Sounds like we're running a similar amount of gear and I guess it comes down to the duration of the session, potential species that may be encountered and so forth. Love the in-built rod holder on the TT Tackle Sling Bag, it's a winner for me. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Hey @moritzbeller6477, G'day from down under and thanks for the positive comment. As anglers I think we can appreciate the variety of fishing from around the world and no matter how good the fishing in our area, it's always cool to check out the species and techniques used internationally. So much water, so many species and so little time. ;) If you're ever in our part of the world I'll put you onto a flathead. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Hey #gerardamitranno8837, thanks for the comment... I have Googled lizard fish USA and it is a wild looking creature. It looks like a cross between our flathead and a fish we call a grinner. So much water, so many species, and so little time... another species I would like to catch one day. Hope you put a bend in the rod soon. Cheers, Justin
please more of this . not everybody owns a boat
Buy a boat
💯% agree !
Even though I have a boat , I still like to stalk the flats - I can wade where no boat can go !

Always good to hear from you JW, one of the best fisherman ever
Hey Kmiommi, Thanks for the kind words and the big rap ;) that should fire me up to get out and make a few more vids. Hope all's well and you're finding a fish. Cheers, Justin
The thing I got most out of this video is bringing it with the flow. Thanks

Great stuff the sling bag is the best bit of kit you can get fit heaps in it and quality is top notch.

New to the channel. Big fan, great stuff. Very informative
Hey @timwong-see7965, thanks for the kind words and welcome to the channel! Stay tuned :) All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Give the rest of us hope and tell us there are many days you go out and catch nothing ? 😂

Keep a set up in the dog house 👍 will sort that out as we speak 😂 🎣
@Luke.bradley.adventure... be prepared ;) Cheers, Justin
Interesting comment on the flow - do you find the flattys sit with their heads up or downstream and do you think it makes a difference? 🤙

I know your fishing saltwater, but a completely diffrent question. What are your prefered lures for Toga and Bass on the sunnycoast

i'm far away from a flathead fisherman cause i live in Germany but that's a decent video and makes me want to catch a bloody flathead from the shore
