heyy great vids you got here mate , keep em coming , im land based in sydney and catch a few flathead the biggest iv gcaught on a soft plastic had been a 56cm model and lost a big 90cm+ model , i was using a small squidgy lobby and a 100mm squidgy wriggler if i wanna target eating size flathead up to mosnters , should i upsive my plastics or keep em the same ?

@BigR000 - Thanks for the comment mate. I tend to use small lures (SPs and HBs) in shallow water where the fish will spook easier, and bigger out deep. A 3in gulp minnow (smelt or similar) has proven deadly. I've also caught flathead up to mid 70s on 1 3/4in paddle tails. I never seem to catch much size out deep. I haven't had a lot of success with squidgy plastics, always seem to do well on gulps but they can be a pain to store.

@SurfanFish yEAh thanks alot mate , well the first soft plastics i ever fished with were gulps , but neva caught anything with them for about 2 mnths aand then switched to squidgys and in my first seshion i caught 6 flathead over 40cm and 68cm one awsome , uhmm soo do u rcon that i can still catch really big flathead using smal plastics , or should i stick to the great big ones fro em ?

[SurfanFish]

@BigR000 Just experiment mate. I mainly fish solo so don't see how others go. I find I catch plenty on the 3inch. I go up in size for snapper but that's deep water stuff.

Top stuff mate, nice to see a quality fishing video without heavy metal music drowning out everything. I'll be getting my first Kayak in around 2 months time to do some soft plastic fishing in the Lake (this is Lake Macquarie btw). I also have found success with the Gulp 3 inch minnows, fishing for flatties from the shore. Anyway, keep up the good work.
