Shallow water fishing can produce surprisingly large fish. This video explores effective techniques and essential gear for targeting these giants in close proximity to the shore. We venture to the Gippsland Region and target some amazing large fish in super shallow waters.

Should do a fishing collab with "Nev's fishing" ! Victorian boy that uses his drone and kayak to catch monster flathead 😍
That was an awesome episode Al catching those giant lizards ..well done 🍻
I have fished for nearly every species in Australia and there’s nothing in the world that makes me happier other than catching a flathead on light gear, my pb is 86cm & they’re also my favourite fish in general. Thanks for the video 🔥🔥
Congrats 86cm is an amazing effort, ill be heading back in a few weeks and hoping to get one around that size. and I agree it really is a special form of fishing. Amazing species and great to do it in shallow locations with little swell
@ Thank you ! Hopefully we get to see that metery !! I wish you the best. Good luck 🤙🏻
Terrific video mate.
Thanks so much
Some bloody good flatties there mate! Jason is definitely one of the top Flathead guns around Gippsland, he knows where to find them!
Thanks !! You guys set the bar pretty high a few weeks back. Was an awesome experience, thanks for the inspiration...
@fishingmad Any time mate, more than happy to do some recon for ya 😎
Amazing stuff Alan that was a really enjoyable episode amazing stuff 👍
Thanks, happy you enjoyed the episode!
Wow Alan well done again great episode and showing Jason from Edge Lures great too G'day,legends.
Bloody awesome work as always Allen!
Cheers, appreciate you watching mate!
Thanks Alan, Love your new camera "Sinker-cam" 👍
Thank you, yeah ive had lots of feedback that people love those little cam casting rolls, was tricky to work it out so im glad its come up well.
Nice fish and super dark in colour. Up here in the Newcastle nsw area unless they are caught up river in mangrove areas they are quite light in colour
Hi Alan great video!!! Just wondering what brand of plastics you were using
These were from "On the Edge Lures" the Mullet 100 I belive. Jason has a website you can look up. If not 3 and 4 inch paddletails in whites and natural colours are a great option.
Alrighttt a new fishing mad video!
Enjoy, this is a good episode....
What a session!
Thank you, it sure was
Gday Alan im hoping you can explain the action used on the white smaller mullet soft plastic, cheers
Working it slowly by casting, letting the plastic sink to the bottom then slow double hop lifting action and pause for 5 seconds to let it sink again, and repeating the process. I'm heading back that way soon and will endeavour to cover a bit more technique based content.
Love the vid. How cool is the casting camera haha
Thanks!! really appreciated. It took some time to work out the casting camera thing but comes up pretty cool.
Hardest thing about Gippsland lakes flatty fishing is getting a legal fish to eat..... Surprised there aren't more 80cm+ fish there mate?... I found Lakes North arm to Metung is great for 90cm + fish managed 3 in one session on the main channel side of Flanagan's Island... lots of 70 and 80cm fish up shallow...No one there fishing which was surprising... exploring Hollands landing this week and found your channel! ..already nailed 4 over 40cm today with plenty of high 30s smacking hardz...30 fish breamin' sessions no worries in Gippsland Lakes it's a great lake, really hard to go home from here!...great channel great vids....
great vid Alan,shows a great fishery over there when a goverment supports ts fishermen and not just the pros like here in SA ,wounder how we get our stuborne polies here to support us in the same way ! well done Vic :)
Thanks, Yeah I do a lot of work locally with the VFA and fishing has come a long way in recent years with massive stocking, slot limits and lots of investment
Hey Alan was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on the pryml inflatable fishing kayak and if it’s worth purchasing?
Please do a land based whiting video! Thanks
Yeah, hoping to do that very soon. Only a few land based spots for them locally and have been jam packed lately making it tough to film there
So when you state East Gippsland what water way are you 🐟.
There are a number of waterways in that region.
An any chance of buying Jason's lures ?
Cause I love your Vidal Alan I’m gonna tell you a spot that’s before Gippsland lakes an that is McLachlan Beach. You don’t have to go off sure there’s flathead everywhere at the moment
Thanks, that's really appreciated. I'll look into the spot. Gippsland is a fascinating area with so many good fishing spots, so always happy to put time into new spots in the region
I've been in the same situation trying to get the fish to the boat wondering how good my knots are, after what seemed an eternity an 80cm flathead
LOL I hear ya, before i landed that big one i lost one which may have been bigger boat side. The flattie shook its head and spat the hook, i was shattered.
Mate just a trick. You don’t need big lures. My PB is 82 caught off 3 inch lure paddle tail soft plastic don’t be afraid to use smaller Lures plus you’ll catch all your nice eating size fish still. Mallacoota is one of my favourite spots. Give that a try mate. I don’t really like Lake Tyers at the moment. Is that where you were? Fishing in this Vid?
Yeah, I agree, I've caught some massive fish on smaller plastics and lures over the years, and it can be a lot easier when you're casting all day, too. Mallacoota is unreal. I fished a few times there last year and caught heaps of bream tailor, salmon and a few duskies, but I will venture back that way mid-year again. I appreciate the helpful comments
True that I get 80+ fish all the time on 48mm Chubbies and 60mm double clutches got one today on a chub over 80..My PB 110cm came on a 60mm double clutch!...Rarely use anything over 75mm for em'...bit of hype the big lure thing but they smack em' ..I don't think you need em' just got to get it in their strike zone. Yeah Lake Tyers is choked with weed and packed with lure tossers.
Let it go
Can you use a lure with three treble hooks in Victoria?
some epic lizards, well done
Thank you !!
great to see you guys having a good time thats what its all about ,but best of all no bloody live scope shit
Is that Pineville
Is this lake tyers?
Ooft fish at 20 min mark might be in a little strife.
Where is this in east Gippsland?
Bremm river ?
I meant your videos, all of them
Thank you !!
Sitting in my Motel room after vatching no Flathead today hoping that this episode will show me what I done wrong.
I hope its helped. Ill be heading back soon to cover a bit more technique based content.
@fishingmad struck out again today, going to try high tide tonight and see how I go.
@@itscrikeyyoure just fishing in the wrong place. Fish where alan fishes and youll catch.
Baby whale shark
