Catching Flathead Landbased with Daiwa Lures

[@kayakfishingins.a4327]

Looks like a great spot to fish.

[@MickD_Fishing]

It can be good but at other times it can also be tough. That’s fishing I guess. Thanks for watching

[@a5ocm13f]

Haha how funny watching the first flathead...knows how to get itself back in the water. Fish are smarter than people give them credit for

[@MickD_Fishing]

Yeah flathead always know which way to wiggle themselves back for the water. It is really interesting

At around 9:45, I highly recommend wearing sun glasses to protect your eyes

[@MickD_Fishing]

Totally agree. I actually take off my sunglasses just when I do my talking to the camera. After that they are straight back on.

What a nice spot so quiet. Just want to know what bag you carrying. And are your lures deep

[@MickD_Fishing]

I didn’t carry a bag on this trip. Just some small plyers, tube is scent and a pocket size tackle tray that had three extra hardbodies lures and some jigheads and a few plastics. If I do carry a bag I have the Patagonia Atom Sling bag. It’s a fly fishing bag but works so well for wading the flats. The lures are medium runners so dive to about 1.8m. The flats are much shallower then that is why I keep the rod tip up of down depending on what I want the lure to do

[@mattrel9571]

Are you left handed or do you like your dominant hand holding the rod?

[@scottle404]

That’s a relevant question, so many anglers fish back to front to me, it makes me second guess myself thinking am I the one that’s is actually left handed / right handed !!

[@MickD_Fishing]

Dominant hand is my right. Prefer it for casting and controlling the rod. I find it interesting that so many people cast and change hands. Especially when so many fish hit lures as soon as they land on the water. I want to be ready to control and wind on the fish when they hit.

[@SIReelFishing]

whats the rod weight in kg if you dont mind me asking?

[@MickD_Fishing]

It’s pretty light which makes it fun. 1.5-3kg

[@SIReelFishing]
