With the wind down, I started off at an easy to access spot on the Parramatta River and it was clear that there was plenty of chopper tailor tearing up the place. The bream were non-existent and aside from the tailor, there were also hordes of small whiting roaming the shallow flat sections.
The boat ramp's pontoon looked really good and I had a quick flick between the gaps in the sections. I had plenty of bites but hookups were the sticking point. After getting my line bitten off a few times to either big flathead or tailor, it was time to move around the corner to another bay.
Here, I found success fishing near a sandy beach session where the fish of the day came in the form of a 50cm flathead. It fought tooth and nail for it's freedom! It was hard not to feel excited in not knowing whether I would or wouldn't be able to land the fish before it severed my line due to the extended fight! Easily the best flathead hook up I've had this half of the year thus far!

Caught a HUGE salmin just left of the Ferry wharf last Winter..Small choppers there,bigger in Winter on a pilchard piece
Good catch man that’s a good flatty
Cheers FishingFrenzy! It certainly made me work for it lol.
Excellent video & running commentary. Perfect sharing of your experience. Information regarding the gear you used is also helpful to those new to soft plastic fishing. I think my jighead weights may be a tad heavy. Looking forward to your next session.
Thanks himderfella. Glad you like the video. I used a 2-4kg 7 foot rod and a 2000 sized reel with 0.6PE braid and 6lb leader with a Zman Grub on 1/16oz jighead. More information is attached in the video's description. More to come as always!
Nice soft lure bro.... Good work

And line weight
What brand of line you use
Cheers mate waiting you your next video
Fantastic job
Thanks Neville, I'll keep that in mind!
sure was a good fight 💪💪
Yeah I was a bit shocked. It was tough because all these randoms were watching and thus, one feels a bit of pressure to just horse it in and risk losing it. Fortunately, I kept my cool lol.
First spot i know as it is only 5 minutes away. Second spot cant be far away but i don't know it. Another top video!
Thanks Patricia Marshall 👍

Good catch young fella, that's my go to plastic and that colour also greasy prawn but i use 1/0 jighead, i do ok with that, i caught my PB 65cm last week in the Brisbane area.
Thanks John Sipolis. That's a top colour, that greasy prawn. Congrats on your PB croc! Did it go hard?
Hi Shroom, yes it did go hard, i had trouble getting it in the net on my own.
@@johnsipolis I miss that feeling of a big croc! Good stuff.
Great vid mate and what a nice lizard 👌👍🎣
Thank you Daniel. 👍👍
hey mate, where exactly in parra river is this? seems a good place for kids to play why i play :D
Nice flatty were about in Parramatta
Thanks Raymond.
nice mixed bag of fish dude whiting can be a bit picky on lures at times solid flatty at the end
Thanks Granto. Yeah, they always seem to be picking on lures and baits. Glad you enjoyed the video!
ur cool!
What a healthy Flathead! nice one bro! What hook size is on those tt jigheads you use? i always get confused buying them cause theres a heap to choose from Haha
Thanks jay gee! Yeah must have been pretty healthy the way that it put me under the pump lol. I use a lot of size 2 hooks on the lighter jigheads.
Hi Shroom I enjoy watching your videos and just wanted to ask if you can give more information on the locations you fish .I don’t expect you to give up your secret spots maybe Georges and Parramatta Rivers thanks
Hey Simon. Thanks! I fish pretty much fish all over the main rivers in Sydney as you could probably tell. I can give you advice on areas you are interested in.
@@ShroomFishing is it possible to fish at clarke's point?
Nice vid!Btw will the squiggly prawn wriggler be a flathead killer?I am going to a trip to the entrance and since the prawn season started,I think with a prawn imitations lure would be good for the species around there.Would that be good?
Yes, I've caught a number of them on wrigglers over the years. Always a safe choice, I think it will work well for you
@@ShroomFishing thanks for the advise mate!
Nice fish where about are you finishing I didn't think there would be much in Parramatta river I thought maybe it was to polluted. I'm from Parramatta CBD all you see up that end is carp and mullet.
There's bass (common) on the freshwater side of the weir and certainly bream, estuary perch, flathead, and everything else on the salt water side. I'll probably do a video there eventually
Who has hooked a flathead that fought so hard that it had you fooled for what it was? :)
P.S. There's a big change in this video regarding the filming. Does anyone know what the change is? I'm curious to see if anyone can pick it up! Comment below if you think you know what it is!
A couple of weeks ago I landed a huge flathead 3kg 400grms which didn't put up any fight whatever. The smaller flathead seem to put up more of a fight
@@nickcoudounellis2020 Yeah top specimen that. Sometimes they just slug it out I think.
is it a new camera? or different camera set up?
@@thefishingbar3615 Same camera, but I bought a new microphone for better sound!
Another top clip who makes those green grubs you use
Thanks Dylan Smith. Those green grubs are made by Zman Lures.
Nice video mate. What area is this? Ive just moved into harris park and would love somewhere like this nearby that i can cast a line. Thanks mate
Thanks for the video.
Can you please share the location /spot?
abbots ford cove
Bruh i legit thought that was a crocodile in the thumbnail 😂
Haha, close enough. They don't call big ones crocs for no reason 😄
I love that spot. So do the flatties.
It is a nice place for sure. The Flatties don't seem to mind either.
Shroom im subbed i love your vids can we maybe fish together here
Is that a 2.5 or 3 inch grub? I have to get me one of those watermelon grubs!
W C, this is the 2.5 inch version. Have a go, they are one of my favourites.
@@ShroomFishing thanks mate. Love your contents
Do you ever keep any for eating mate?
I haven't kept a fish in a while but once in a blue moon I do. These days I keep the odd squid for bait or consumption.
I’m very close to the Georges, I’d love some lessons on using plastics some time! I’ll repay you by taking you out on my boat!
where is this place
Camera stopped and start then was more clear.
Good try. I am currently experimenting with the video clarity but in this one, I have improved sound.
What area is this located in
Nice place can you give me the address please?

Near Gladesville bridge
