- I find some hungry flathead lined up on a single bank edge and share some flathead fishing tips.
The gear I use in this video include:
Shimano Vanford 3000 reel and 270M Zodias rod. 6lb braid and leader with 20lb bite leader.
4/0 BKK Chimera hook with a 95mm Squidgy Prawn Wriggler in Black and Gold.

Little tip you probably already know, when they spike you, turn them on their backs and wipe the slime off their belly on the cut/spike, stops the bleeding and that constant itchy sting you get! That or bit of Bracken Furn crushed up with a bit of spit, works on every insect bite also!
Favourite table fish, Rays Bream or fresh King George Whiting! Great stuff as always John! Good thing about Flatties, the whole family can enjoy the outdoors while having fun casting on a few Flatties!
Are you serious... I'm doing it. Those bastards get me all the time 👍
Mate that little demo on the tide was absolute gold! Great visual of the tide and effect of water surface. Drone footage was epic as well. Great sesh yew 🤙🤙🤙
Cheers mate! Hope that Cod fishing adventure of yours comes together in a BIG way ! 🐠
Excellent video as always John! Full of awesome tips which are extremely helpful. I only fish landbased but watching your videos have me given numerous tips which helps me improve my fishing. Pls. keep em coming 💯🔥
Great to hear you find it helpful mate ;) it’s a beaut time of year to go get some flatties 👌
Well done John, nice little session what great fun, keep up the good work Cheers Chris
Top video as always John , great description of the water features and fish positioning.
Great video again, John! Love the information and knowledge you willing give every time. My favourite pan fish are Whiting and Squire. I need to get out and get among them.
Love the tips and guidance regarding places to cast and try for the, keep up the great work mate.
Thanks Mark. Great to hear ur feedback, I’ll keep that stuff coming
Excellent vid John very informative, that certainly was a hot bite it's got me frothing for some flatty action ! 🙂👌
Cracking work as per usual mate. I loved the little demonstration you did on tidal effects as a visual representation of how pressure edges work.
And your spot on, any of the darker colours that have a nice colour contrast and cast a strong silhouette work a treat on flatties.
Its also great seeing so many healthy table sized fish this early on in the season
Tight lines mate
G-day again, thanks for yet another informative video that is much appreciated.
Kind regards from Jacob's Well, Trevor
Great to catch you guys out enjoying the clear days Trevor! Cheers
Ripper episode as always mate. Full of excellent information!
As for favourite eating fish - Grunter or the ol noxious Redfin
Red Emperor best eating for me..but I love flatties as well JC. And any white fish with Ginger is amazing
Thanks for the tips very helpful
Nice work John, I like those drone shots 👀
What a great bite and awesome session Johnny.
Flathead has to be the best all round table fish in the estuaries.
Thanks for such a great vid.
Makes me miss Qld. Moved recently to central west NSW. Which is trout heaven… miss my flattie fishing though.
👍👍👍
That was a brilliant little bite eh. That must be cool doing the switch up though to trout
@@mylurebox the trout season has been off the chain this year.
Just closed in the rivers on Monday. Still have some quality Local dam options though.
Anytime you’re down this way mate…. Oberon area. I’ll hook you up.
Great video champion, awesome work,
Great Video John and yes "flathead " are my favorite estuary fish to eat i have tried "coral trout " great fish to eat when we can buy them down this way (Newcastle) cheers mate , Johno .
I want to get my little wriggler into a deep edge too.
Awesome stuff, I’m off to the tackle shop to buy some of those lures, hard to beat eating flathead but Also live fresh tailor I love the skin
Yep, love flathead to eat. So great to fish too.
i just got my pb flathead today at 50cm might sound small but i am stoked and it tasted amazing
That’s awesome mate 😎
Congratulations. 50cm is better than 49..or 39..
love it
I don’t eat much fish, but the family love flatties and gummy shark. I always get the green light to go fishing if I’m targeting either one 😂
Hahaaa. That’s gotta be part of the reason my missus is happy when I’m chasing flatties ;)
Where did you get those lures from because I have the weed less hooks and that was a great video thank you for sharing
Great video... I'm a master baiter... Really want to get into lures. 😂
When eating Flathead for dinner I tell the kids this is as good as it gets! Hahaha
Great video as always John, can you tell me what scent you put in your stink finger please.
Great Show John, Always look forward to your uploads. Question If I may, Do you have any braid recommendations ? I find i always wind knot with the Kairiki braid maybe its just me..
Cheers Brett ;) I run PowerPro Slick 8 braid and love it. I’ve also used suffix 832 in the lighter braids and that goes well.
Hey mate, what knot do you use to tie the 6lb leader to the 20lb bite leader?
fishing on the sand flats are so much fun
It’s one of my favourites for sure 👍
what knot do you use for the bite leader?
What kind of boat is this that you have??!’
It looks perfect!!
He's got a Quintrex 370 explorer I think. There are a few videos on it from the time he was travelling around Australia, like the one where he explains his car topper setup. He's also done a bit of modification to it to turn it into a bass boat layout as you can see.
Flathead, Mangrove Jack and Whiting
I mainly fish catch and release but you really can't beat the flathead for an estuary combo - they put up an alright fight every now and then, are easily fooled and are pretty abundant plus have some of the best flesh around, maybe beaten by luderick. great to see the nsw government realising their importance and stocking them in a few places now
Can you please tell me what the beads are, thanks.
40-45cm Sweetlip in garlic and parsley breadcrumbs 👌
Same as my wife Cam ;)
What's the purpose of the bead in the hook?
Flatty all day at 55-60cm crumbed or pan fried with garlic and sage butter.
Does it get any better ;) I’m keen to go get some with this in mind
@@mylurebox take it out of the pan just before you think it’s fully cooked. Grass fed butter too 🤌🏼👌🏼
What brand is that boat ? That’s sweet
Quintrex 370 Explorer if my memory is correct
Flathead easily between 45-55cm is the best ya can get 👌🏼
So yummy Brett ;) cheers
Trying to sus out the fitzroy river in rocky isnt fun landbased
I’d be freakin 🐊 there’s some great Barra to be had though
50 cm flathead from off the beach. Next is Red Emperor.
There’s a reason fillets go for $60 /kg, your in-laws will have a word or two to say 😂
To the young frothers schooling for big dog knowledge - Lure color is not a thing the trick is to get it in their face!...the best color/lure is always the one you have tied on when you got a bite.
Been watching too much Field Days ..
should of knocked him on the head for the pan.Would of maybe saved the pain.😁
Definitely regretted that one Darryl… still feeling it hahaa.
