    SEQ, particularly Moreton Bay, is wall to wall with flatties. When wading the flats like that, drag your feet a bit when walking. It might spook some fish, but it will let the rays know you're coming and they'll head off.
    It's nice to see you come up to my part of the world and test-drive an area. The Broadwater, Southern Bay islands, Jumpinpin, Wellington Point to Wynnum, Pumicestone Passage (particularly the mouth of Ningi, Coochin and Bells Creeks) are all excellent flathead spots.
    My mums' favourite part of a flathead was always the breastplate. Lots of meat, but a few bones too, although they're fairly large and easy to pick out.
    Flathead fillets run about $40-50kg lately.

    The best catching and eating fish I think, one of the things I miss after moving from Qld to SA. I could almost taste the fish, a brilliant lunch 😁

    Excellent session, Alex. Good to see you enjoying Queensland. Some brilliant fishing options available up there (from down here, in SA!).

    • @Alexsfishin
      @Alexsfishin  Před rokem

      Cheers! It’s next level fishing up there. Spoilt compared to little ol’ Adelaide.

    Use the back edge of the knife to scale and you won't blunt it. 👍

    Definitely my favourite way to fish. I love bent minnows. I fish them differently though. Will try the shake.

    Great session bro🔥🔥🔥, exactly what I needed to G me up for fishing this morning. Interested in that bent minnow? never used one b4 looks like it does the damage tho

    • @Alexsfishin
      @Alexsfishin  Před rokem +1

      Thanks heaps man! The bent minnows are one of my favourite sub-surface lures, they are an odd looking lure but the action of them just make it look like a wounded baitfish on the surface. Caught plenty of fish on them!
