A few hours on Sunday morning early September 2024. Got one 80cm jewfish early (poor video quality due to low light) and then a few small flatties one good flatty at 74cm.

Sorry about the wind noise in advance. I need to get one of those wind covers for my new Go pro. This video is from late August 2024. Towards the end of the video, I ventured up past Wangi Point for the first time ever and had a bit of a sound around and fished in horrible conditions.

Last weekend of July 2024. Rained on Saturday morning and blew a gale on Sunday morning, so limited in areas to fish that offered some protection from the wind. Got a few decent size models on soft plastics and vibes. One flatty had heaps of small lumps on it along with a few wounds. If anyone knows what these are, please put a reply in.

3rd weekend of July 2024. Saturday completely blown out with strong wind warning. This was 4 hours on Sunday morning which was not much better. Tried out in the middle early, but it was just too windy to feel the bites properly, so moved in closer to hide from the wind a bit. Got a few nice flatties.

Just flatties on this video from the last week of June 2024 on a mid week morning before work. Wind and rain forecast for the week ahead, so thought I'd sneak out before it. Plenty of smaller 40cm to 45cm models caught, but only put a couple of them in the video.

This is some from the Easter long weekend. Got a few , but it was a punish with so many unsuccessful casts and sometimes hours between bites, and when they did bite, a lot of them were on the small side and didn't make the video....but that's fishing.

I just fished the shallow water coming off the point into the deeper water, so from less than a metre deep out to 8m on some points. All within paddling distance in a kayak. The point off Silverwater was more successful for me and its more shallow for a longer distance out. Good luck.

    Well done,what’s your best advice to looking in to targeting flatly and Jew in the lake.?. Have never been there..Look your productions.👏👏

      Hey John, I dont know if I'm experienced enough to give you the accurate advice you're after, but here's what I did when I first started fishing Lake Mac. I started fishing the shallows casting back towards shore (mainly topwater for bream) but got some flatties doing this. Then went deeper (say 2 to 4 metres) and used blades and curltail grubs for all species around drop offs and weed edges or cockle beds. Then ventured deeper from 6 to10 metres using 100mm vibes and 5 to 6.5 inch soft plastics over cockle beds or any deep structure or under tailor schools when I specifically wanted jewfish. I found that I was catching more flathead (among multiple other species) using this method while targeting jewfish. So I just stuck with it. Persistence is key, so don't be disappointed if you don't get something as it happens to all of us. Just keep trying. Good luck.

      This was early Friday morning before work Andrew. I went out yesterday too, and got 2 undersized jewfish, some small flatties, a tailor and a salmon, overall, nothing special. Couldn't go out today(Sunday), but will give it a crack again tomorrow.
