  • In this video we spend two days showing you how to fish for big Flathead in shallow waters, using swimbaits and large divers. A metre Flathead is something Bergie has been chasing for years and with a few big girls getting caught on the Gold Coast it seems like the perfect time to try and hunt one down.
    The break in filming for Fishing Addiction has allowed us to head out on the water with Rodney and put our fishing skills to the test.

    Have you ever tried the shimano arma joint? I've heard hot pink is a favourite for flathead. Have you any thought on hot pink or is white the complete stand out?

  • @Pointless-fishing-adventures

    I caught a 109cm flatty that went 4.87kg on 6lb gear under the markeri st bridge in mermaid Waters in 1997. This was on a live herring caught from the bridge.

      @MarkBergFishingAddiction  Před rokem +1

      The Zerek Affinity swimbaits are the best in my opinion but the Bone Focus lures have been getting a few as well 👍👍
