Hey mate im from newy and looking at getting into flicking plastics, what rod and reel would you suggest and and spots to hit? Not after your secret hotspots lol
I like to go light 1-3kg rod and 1000 reel, but a good starting combo would be just 2-4kg rod and 2500 reel something like a shimano sienna combo with 6-8lb braid. Queens wharf brewery, Ash island, Stockton flats near the bridge these all produce on good days. 👍
Thanks mate appreciate it! For flathead and in this vid, I like to go light tbh. I’m using a NS black hole bream rod 1-3kg and a Okuma ceymar 1000 reel with 6lb braid. Then I run about two rod lengths of 6-8lb fluorocarbon leader but depending on structure and if the flathead are gulping the plastics down I might up that to 14lb Fluro. Favourite plastics are also pretty small 2.5inch zman grubs or Samaki boom bait grubs 2.5 and 4inch with 1/12th up to 1/6th jighead depending on depth/current. I’ll usually try to match my lure colour to the water. E.g dirtier the water dirtier/darker and clear water I’ll go whites and clear sparkle types. Then nice slow crawl retrieve with twitches but trying to keep it on bottom as much as possible. Three colours that never let me down are motor oil, olive sparkle and pumpkin. Thanks for watching!
i know you probably don't want to give away your flatty spots but can i get some kind of idea as to where you were? I have been looking for some good spots for a while now and cant find any
@@gaming-grouper2459 probably asking the wrong person as I’m definitely no Jew whisperer but I’ve always found the bigger ones tend to hang down towards the harbour and some huge ones of the beaches. Check out JT’s NewFish here on TH-cam his a local legend that slays some quality Jew.
Well done guys, nice lizard session.

Hunter River? If so I wonder if there's any jewfish around there. BTW thanks for the video.
Yep sure is, there is plenty of Jew around there, although mostly soapies with the occasional big ones coming through.
@@cavpowerfishing9214 are the big ones just more spread out throughout the system?
