Any chance they'll release the 4" minnowz in midnight oil?

Are you sure the flattys start coming on the chew in the colder weather and water I’m pretty sure that’s not right doont they soughta hibernate in the colder weather?

[@pokegang2609]

Yeah I’m not sure, cause when I go to lake Tyers during summer we catch heaps of big ones.

[@dylangreen507]

Are they better in winter or summer? I’ve noticed the fishing has been better lately

[@caughtonfishing6623]

I definitely prefer winter mate but you can get them all year round

Hey @gailsmith4125, Jarryd steps through two retrieve techniques that he uses for targeting flathead on the lower stages of the tide, along with the gear being used, and you can also pick up other tips from watching the video, including boat positioning, where he is casting to, retrieves and more. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
