Did you enter the Urunga flathead comp by any chance? The usual system did well for me this weekend just gone, a 35-40cm Jack (forgot to measure) and 70cm lizard! Catch you out there again one day!
@LoveYakken 21 сағат бұрын
Hey mate, well done on the early season jack and good sized flatty, I haven't fished the "usual" system for awhile now but might have a go there next week. Na I skipped the comp this year, maybe next year.

Nice video, has been a minute would love to get some bass this summer. Just a question what td black were you using in the video I have the td black wild weasel for my light setup with a 2500 nasci for like flathead and whatever but worry the rod might be to stiff because it 2-6kg?
@LoveYakken 6 күн бұрын
That is the exact rod I'm using, great rod, I use it for nearly everything from bass to jacks.

Beautiful bit of water you are fishing there... Great start to the season 👌🏽
@LoveYakken 11 күн бұрын
Yeah it's a good spot at the start of the season. Once the water warms through summer can get thick with freshwater weeds/lillypads etc. making it tough to fish. I was pretty happy to get a 46cm first flick of the season though, thanks for watching Johnathon.

Always love a Loveyakken video. Is there any chance you could make a video in moonee creek on the Kayak and just go around the bend and through some paddle tails. We go there often and catch a lot of flathead and bream
@LoveYakken 11 күн бұрын
Hi Austin, probably will have a fish in there over the next few weeks, has been awhile since I have had a flick there, so keen to see how it's fishing.

That’s a nice start to the season with some good fish. I was starting to think that those spiders must have come without hooks. The Zmans certainly work well.
@LoveYakken 11 күн бұрын
lol, yeah the hooks were actually really good quality but need to be a bit bigger. A stinger hook behind would work well in water that wasn't weedy, I got frustrated cleaning it every cast. Can't complain though I guess, $3 for 3 lures lol.

Single hooks are definitely the way to go IMO. Better for the fish and the angler. I still have lures with trebles but most have been swapped out for singles. I might sort a few more to singles today. It's blowing a gale here in WA so a prime day for some tackle prep

Good stuff, I actually fished there all day today for the first time in ages. Couldn't get a bite all morning on the out going tide but once the tide turned there was lots of flathead on soft plastics. Not big fish, around the 40cm range, but plenty of them. Good luck.
