Catching flathead on vibes in Lake Macquarie

1st Saturday of June 2023. Tough fishing today. Long time between bites. Tried fishing the shallows early for 2 unsuccessful hours, then tried about another 6 deeper water areas and only got 4 flatties and a couple of average tailor over the next 3 hours. Plenty of tournament boats buzzing around for the bream comp.

Thanks Andrew, they have big mouths, thats for sure. I was lucky enough to get it to swim straight at the camera for that footage

Consistent size on the flattys pete an loving the footage 👍

Yeah Andrew, I noticed that they were all around the same size. At least they all weren't the 45cm models that seem to be plentiful in the lake. I'll keep persisting with the under water footage, even though I lost 2 flatties trying to get them to swim past the camera😂I was going to upload the footage of them shaking me off, but you couldn't see much in the mass of air bubbles as they thrashed about. Luckily they were only around 45cm to 50cm models

@@petersimpson4916 yer always a risk at least they were only small ones. Looks good but underwater something different anyway.
