Flathead will go after a big lure. I caught a small red bream at Kurnell on the weekend and as I was bringing it in a flathead was trying to eat it! No hope because the flathead was too small but shows how aggressive they are.
Hey mate great video. I enjoy watching your content, but I couldn’t help but notice you cut your leader off and didn’t pick it up. Just a friendly reminder from one fisho to another 👍🏾
When you release the flattys hold under the belly and gently release it instead of flicking it onto other rocks then into water it’s better for them to release gently
Hey shroom Great video, just got a new rod and reel, what line to you recommend me getting and what Lb to get if i'm targeting bream, flathead and whiting?
Yeah Shroom I can’t believe you don’t take a net bro when you’ve caught kingys as bycatch sometimes. I always take one, I regretted it once when I dropped a huge flatty but I’ll never make the same mistake 🙄
Hey mate thanks for the tips!Got my first flathead on the 95mm ghost perch but saw a few flatties following it but they just won’t strike,any tips to get them to strike?
Usually 1 arm span in length so approx. 1.7m. For the soft plastics, probably too heavy in most situations especially with a 1/16 lead. For the hardbody, it could handle 10lb leader without affecting its action too much.
@@ShroomFishing Yeah I've started bringing the same little kayak net you're using in this video. It's gonna be a problem when I hook a big flathead or king that won't fit in it.
Nice work dude I’ll be following you a bit closer and getting me some of those Crab and D.Clutch lures as well. Another aspect is your fishing from land and nit in a boat like that every other Joe. Nice 👍🏾 and may I ask where’s this location dude might take my son for a quick flick if you don’t mind sharing 😊
@@markrigg6623 Yeah agreed, they were fired up. 🔥 Would have taken a lot of different lures that day. The hardbody was good because it covered ground quickly and an easier target due to shape, vibration and suspending nature.
@@markrigg6623The lure is perfect for slow rolling flats being a shallow diver, it also imitates a hurt baitfish perfectly. Yes they eat anything but we arent talking about bait fishing, and there is a reason people that target flathead will almost always take one of these lures in there tackle box.
@@GoldenHourFishing The reason people buy them is as a result of how easily young people are swayed by disguised ads on the internet. The wholesalers get people to put all these videos up and then things go viral. So in the trade we have the term " internet lure" as a direct result of this. So by all means pay twice the price you need to (or more) but just be aware that just because you see people on the internet using them, that does not necessarily mean its any more outstanding than lots of other lures that are cheaper and have much better casting qualities. By the way even though it doesn't get particularly deep its classified as a deep diver because of its bib configuration.
@@ShroomFishing Thanks mate, I did start using it on hard bodies but had the same problem, especially with pro cure and now the gulp scent as they as so fishy smelling, maybe S factor or Sax would be better. Thanks again
@@anthonycox1870 haha yep, Procure is notorious for stinking up the place but it works well 😆. I still need to try the Gulp gel but I'm not surprised in the least to hear that. S Factor is certainly a lot better in that regard. Sax is good too, a bit like smearing Vaseline.
@@ShroomFishing we’re do you purchase yours from , I’ve never seen one in that sort of tube ? I’ve never fished with lures before , but after watching many of your videos I’m going to have to give it a go haha it looks like some fun!
@@lukeyjonboy I've used quite a few scents and overall, I like them all. I like to use Squidgies S Factor. You can buy them outright in a big tube or it comes along in the pro range lure packets.
Told you the double clutch does some damage 😉😉 get your self a pair of braid cutter/pliers bro help with de hooking catches! They Make me like a surgeon 😉🤙🎣🤠 tight lines bro
My rusty as pliers got a run this video haha. You could probably tell they went in the drink a few times. Yep, it's a delicate operation sometimes 😆 Love those lures wish they were more affordable.
@@ShroomFishing yeah 100% ive spent the last year loading up my tackle boxes next time i see you, ill show you a few of my go-too's! ay man if they work they work :) "the pliers"
There's a first for everyone haha. I've been trying to put the net to more use but there'll still be times when I don't bring it out. Yeah lots of weed there and quite shallow. I think if you persist you'll strike gold! 🥇
@@ShroomFishing Yeah, this is the only spot close to where I live that i haven't cracked the code yet. Your video is encouraging for me to put the spot back on the map. Haha...

Yep, they have eyes bigger than their stomach's haha. Nice, very aggressive. They'll even follow up another flathead sometimes 😮

Not the first time I've seen this guy leave trash on film.

The slow motion 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "awwww see that" crack up
Haha, that was hilarious 🤣🤣
First flatty got brain damage when he got pushed off 😂
Hectic video bro, amazing catches 🙌🏻
Thanks as always Zee! I try best and been trying some new things 🙌
I like that spot too.. Had a bit of luck there myself Sir.. Off to buy a double clutch now and no doubt ill end up with a donut to go with it.
Nice one Michael! Good to hear that you've had luck there. Great lures and worth a throw occasionally. 🔥
Hey shroom Great video, just got a new rod and reel, what line to you recommend me getting and what Lb to get if i'm targeting bream, flathead and whiting?
6lb
The intro🔥🔥🔥
Glad you like it 🔥
finally you brought a net! 🙌
A rare thing indeed 😂
Yeah Shroom I can’t believe you don’t take a net bro when you’ve caught kingys as bycatch sometimes. I always take one, I regretted it once when I dropped a huge flatty but I’ll never make the same mistake 🙄
Great video young shroom😁
Thanks 😁
Hey bro can you try a few Diawa tournament spike?They are pretty good lures,the 44m and 54mm I think.
Good stuff mate.Keep it up
Thank you Steve! Much appreciated! I'm hoping to make some special videos this summer 🙏🔥
@@ShroomFishing Cheers. Looking forward to them, although the blogs so far great..
@@stevegriffiths5364 Thanks Steve!
ahhaha is that rock moving so accurate I say that so often
Haha so true Alex! Get's me every time 😂
Well done once again 💙🔥👌
Thank you Rob! I loved this video 🔥😁👍
Tried out this spot today and landed myself a couple of flattys on the motor oil grubz.
Nice one James! Well done 👏
haha ik the feeling, the amount of fish I loos cuz don't have a landing net! gotta get one
I almost paid the price the other day, no net again. Lady luck was with me!
Hi...which knot do you use when you re tie?..thanks.
Solid croc 🐊 👏👏
Thanks Aaron. That big croc got away but we'll get em next time! 👍
Shroom which line to leader knot do you use? I’m looking to find an easy and quick but strong knot.
I tie an FG which is a somewhat advanced knot to tie. I recommend using a double uniknot or a surgeon's knot. Both are easy to tie.
Great vid mate. Really enjoying your channel. Time for a fresh leader! 😂
Good work bro!
Thanks Brice! Love that feedback. Haha yep, luckily the water was murky and they couldn't see it 😅
Saw you there a couple of weeks ago. You weren’t there long enough to say hi. There was no fish that day lol.
Nice one Chung! That was probably me 😁
Hey mate thanks for the tips!Got my first flathead on the 95mm ghost perch but saw a few flatties following it but they just won’t strike,any tips to get them to strike?
Pause it and see if they will strike. If not start twitching it to get a reaction strike
How long is your leader usually? Any probs going as high as 10lb leader you think?
Usually 1 arm span in length so approx. 1.7m. For the soft plastics, probably too heavy in most situations especially with a 1/16 lead. For the hardbody, it could handle 10lb leader without affecting its action too much.
Nice work mate. Nets are bad luck - Anytime I bring mine I donut.
Thanks Niall! I have the same viewpoint with nets; especially if I bring a big net expecting a big catch haha
@@ShroomFishing Yeah I've started bringing the same little kayak net you're using in this video. It's gonna be a problem when I hook a big flathead or king that won't fit in it.
@@niallcameron6433 Haha true, it's feels so much smaller in the field! It'll be mission impossible self-netting even a rat king 😅
Where do u buy ur lures and plastics from
Hey Issa, I got to various places such as independents, big chains (usually BCF) and online.
Nice rod!
Thanks Michael. One of my favs
Nice work dude I’ll be following you a bit closer and getting me some of those Crab and D.Clutch lures as well. Another aspect is your fishing from land and nit in a boat like that every other Joe.
Nice 👍🏾 and may I ask where’s this location dude might take my son for a quick flick if you don’t mind sharing 😊
Thank you Kamahl! Great lures but any of the soft plastics I use are effective as well because they can be a bit pricey.
What colour double clutch is this? I can't seem to find it anywhere 😥
I'm not surprised, everything I like is always hard to get 😤
Heya, what kind of knots you usually use to tie up the lure?
Uni knot usually and a lefty's loop if I tie a loop knot
Good stuff
Thanks Fida!
Yooo cheers bro..you still playing Defender II? xd
Haha no longer Stefan 😆
well done sir. nice video
Thanks a lot James! Something a bit different. 🤙
How good is the double clutch, one of my favourite lures. 👍
Seriously good! Slays the flatties 🤙
No offence guys, but FLATHEAD EAT ANYTHING !

Cricket scores mate, slated em
Hit em for six but I almost got caught in front first ball 😂
Another quality production by Shroom, great stuff champion, do you use scent on your hard bodies? Or just plastics
Thank you very much Anthony! Yes but I try not to because I loathe wiping it off after use. I don't mind using it on soft vibes though 😁🙏

Haha Another top video my friend!
In your opinion is the scent affective would you recommend it ?
Thanks Lukey! Yes, I believe it has a minor but positive effect on catch rates
@@ShroomFishing we’re do you purchase yours from , I’ve never seen one in that sort of tube ?

Hey Omar, I fish with both hands/sides so no, you're not hallucinating 😅
Nice
Thanks mate!
Can you use the daiwa bait junkie minnow white 3.2 inch pls
