I think this is done perfectly. If you watch both part 1 & 2 from start to finish they explain very nicely how to, what to look for, and the kind of equipment and set ups they use. I'm going to try this next time I'm in the lake.
start with a bit of paper, write down your top twenty tips for catching flatties. then make a video that illustrates a bunch of those tips and chuck out anything that doesn't help tell your story. that way you might end up with a how to video that actually teaches people how to do a thing, not a video where people watch you do a thing.
A couple of lure and equipment salesmen. Are there any real fishermen who will show you how it is done. Funny that only one fish was shown with that large expensive lure in it's mouth. But was it place there by the "fisherman" or the fish? The larger the lure, the higher the price.
hope you guys through all those big girls back never take home a big girl there will be no more of these beautiful fish !! as you know they are all females over 45cm
If fishing that late at night i would recommend Live Bait - during the day flick some lures around as you saw we have great success casting lures around during the day targeting Flathead
Great vid and enjoyed the gentle release of the big one, though It would be nice to see some lure action prior to hook up (know it probably a secret...)
I caught my biggest flatty with my dad (98cm) with live potty mullet (I was 12) had no idea how to catch a fish back then. I remember dad saying is was only like 5 pnd line with a 12 pound trace or something like that. I was going for brim but he had 10 pound line looking for Jewish with a 15 pound trace. Good night I remember pushing the boat for 300 meters when the tide changed
Very good vid guys,watched a few of your vids,I've caught some big flathead myself around shark point in Sydney,defiantly going to be using a few of your techniques when I next go,2 thumbs up!!!
Hi, just wondering about live bait and cut up bait. I've been using small bait fish I get from the river and cut up mullet. I've only ever hooked 50 - 60cms on cut up mullet, is it just more recommend to use lures? Oh also I've been mainly only doing night fishing from 11pm to 3am does this make a difference to recommended bait?
Just a tip. When your talking about being able to see through the water. Place your polarised glasses over the camera lens. That way we can see what your seeing.
good stuff. Ive had a secret small sand bank that would always produce 60cm+ flaties. But due to the crazy weather in Queensland these past years, the sand bank has been washed away.. need to spend some time and scout some more spots.
You only get one chance when you're filming to make it a good video. Why are you focussing on the angler and not the fish when it's brought to the boat???
Excellent video fellas..Nice and easy on the eye & the ears..I'm an avid surf fisherman but would definitely like to try this style of fishing.. Agree 100% about having good polaroid glasses when fishing & great tip about the extra poundage on the leader as well. Keep up the great ..work
Mialla a mate and I are going fishing in Tasmania, staying Launceston way, any good spots for big flatheads? Also where did you fish in Victoria? Great work bud!
hey REEL IT IN I was wondering, I'm quite a beginner fisherman (13 years old) and am thinking of buying a nice lightweight budget setup! I was looking at the "ugly stick gold" range and was wondering whether this would be a good rod for catching bream and flattys. also what do you recommend reel wise I am willing to spend 100-150 on this setup.
Used the bigger dropbears at mallacoota a few weeks ago and caught a few bigger than my usual haul. Your spot on guys! Big plastics equals big flatties.
Hey guys. Nice work and cheers for the info on the gear. Just a word of advise. Its not POLAROID its POLARISED. POLARISED. POLARISED. TAA keep up the good work
Shoot the camera man, didn't even see the full length of the fish
Hervey Bay Rubbish Removal agree mate
camera man is off his head
Good video guys negative comments are probably from non fishermen
change the title to "Us catching flathead"
not "how to catch flathead."
I think this is done perfectly. If you watch both part 1 & 2 from start to finish they explain very nicely how to, what to look for, and the kind of equipment and set ups they use.

They explain how to catch them perfectly you flop.
Haha classic

You can get a pack of gulp 8" jerkshads for the same price as the 2" grubs, not sure what you are on about :/
Gday mate - all fish caught in the Bottom Lake
hope you guys through all those big girls back never take home a big girl there will be no more of these beautiful fish !! as you know they are all females over 45cm

Epic vid lads. Awesome fish and great release. I could feel how pumped you were when you saw the size of it coming up. Awesome.
When I caught my 98cm flatty my dad said "you will NEVER catch a bigger flatty than that" im sure he was right
We call Flathead the Bruce Jenner fish. The go hard early then get big and fat and turn into females. Amazing.....
Great video lads, Beaut fish.
Now they changed the law can’t keep dogs ova 70cm imagine in 10yrs how big they will be
I just hope you put that monster flatly back they are HORRIBLE to eat at that size!
Hey I’m Harry Marshall that won the nitro rod for joiners 66.5
Need a new cameraman
Where is this place? looks amazing! good work
caught a 100cm flathead at the central coast nsw. watta day
94cm i meant
WRX 7 on ya.
WRX 7 typical fuck heard in the comments
Lols i went fishing in my river with a friend who is a master fisherman i caught a 3.48m bull shark
100% agree with a good pair of sunnies to spot the sand banks and weed beds
Hey guys VICTORIA New bag for flathead limits IS 30cm 50 cm so be a wise guy
Very good vid guys,watched a few of your vids,I've caught some big flathead myself around shark point in Sydney,defiantly going to be using a few of your techniques when I next go,2 thumbs up!!!
dide thats a flatty
I'm 13 and next week I'm going to the beach my challenge is to catch a 70cm plus flathead land base using a bait caster reel any tips I should know?
Fair dinkum. Worst camera work ever. Sorry. It need to be said, why focus on the angler when the fish is caught?
Would be nice if they actually gave some useful tips
Hi, just wondering about live bait and cut up bait. I've been using small bait fish I get from the river and cut up mullet.

Oh also I've been mainly only doing night fishing from 11pm to 3am does this make a difference to recommended bait?
Who makes big SP say 15 - 17cm in a shad style like the one on your video? I could not see any in Squidgy or in Berkley Range
Just a tip. When your talking about being able to see through the water. Place your polarised glasses over the camera lens. That way we can see what your seeing.
Where is the best plase to catch the dusky flathead in Australia and were are you fishing you rock do more flathead videos
good stuff. Ive had a secret small sand bank that would always produce 60cm+ flaties. But due to the crazy weather in Queensland these past years, the sand bank has been washed away.. need to spend some time and scout some more spots.
You only get one chance when you're filming to make it a good video. Why are you focussing on the angler and not the fish when it's brought to the boat???
Where's the 3 metre flattys?
Nice mate I love in QLD and love fishing I use Zerek and zman they work the best for me
Excellent video fellas..Nice and easy on the eye & the ears..I'm an avid surf fisherman but would definitely like to try this style of fishing.. Agree 100% about having good polaroid glasses when fishing & great tip about the extra poundage on the leader as well. Keep up the great ..work
That river system is so healthy with all those big flathead because we get a lot of healthy 70s to 90 but never can crack the metre
You never got 3 meter like power fish from Australia he a sydney bloke who broke the world record
I only fish for vampire fish. I'm afraid they don't show up in Polaroid film
use 8lb braid 20lb 30lb vanish when fishing for big flathead and jew youll be glad you did when you hook a20 kg jew
Well done for releasing it, the big fish must be released as these are the breeders. If you want a feed always take the smaller ones
Mialla a mate and I are going fishing in Tasmania, staying Launceston way, any good spots for big flatheads? Also where did you fish in Victoria? Great work bud!
We use Nitro Tournament Rods - " Baby Viper "
and stellas 2500 or 4000 size reels
hi if you can can you tell me the name of the rod you used to catch that big fat flathead and reel thanks
Terrible cameraman. I want to see the fish, not the angler talking.
Great video guys, you should come to the Gold Coast some time and fish the flathead classic here.
Get a better camera person it hasn't got a clue how to take a shot.
Hey guys great videos! What's the outfit you guys use thanks

hey REEL IT IN I was wondering,
I'm quite a beginner fisherman (13 years old) and am thinking of buying a nice lightweight budget setup!
I was looking at the "ugly stick gold" range and was wondering whether this would be a good rod for catching bream and flattys. also what do you recommend reel wise I am willing to spend 100-150 on this setup.
+lock doggy those are great rods but not really good for lures.
what rods did you use
bailey simmons baby viper he said that
Ive never catched a flatty so i hope this will help
why not just run straight 16 pound then?
Catch and release, the only way to fish.
Hey boys.. What size reels are ya using.
Maui jims r the way to go
I got a pair they r awesome
where a bouts are you fishing great video
Come on fellas, a 96cm Flathead is definitely not legal!!!
Fantastic clips! Honest and reliable information! Great watch!
Used the bigger dropbears at mallacoota a few weeks ago and caught a few bigger than my usual haul. Your spot on guys! Big plastics equals big flatties.
Mallacoota’s the best for flatties
Well done Dean - great effort mate

Franco Medina I would be surprised if you even catch fish on 30lb
Hey guys. Nice work and cheers for the info on the gear.
Just a word of advise. Its not POLAROID its POLARISED. POLARISED. POLARISED.
TAA
keep up the good work
why did you let it go?
Because at that size its a big breeding female an you try not to take females out of the system plus that size fish is usually a fish of a life time
Ok thanks for replying, nice fish.

Good man.
