FISHING LAND BASED | Gold Coast.

In this video I'm on the Gold Coast doing a little bit of land based fishing chasing our bread and butter species. Casting lures around likely spot for bream and flathead is such an easy way to encounter a few fish and when the winter days are calm and warm it's such an enjoyable way spend your day. We fish a variety of locations from sandy beaches to man made structures and lakes using soft plastics and creature baits. When your catching fish with a good mate it's hard not to have a laugh and soothe your soul at the same time.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Cheers mate, I appreciate you saying that.

[@joelrached]

awesome video mate! fished there a few times, it always delivers!

[@joelrached]

also mate whats the name of that little yabbie looking lure you were using? looks like a bream magnet

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Ecogear Aqua Bream Prawn or BP50 mate.

[@darylC_2306tiger1]

G'day Liam, what a great vid, fishing spots like that looks like fantastic fun, here in Melbourne I have no idea where I could do that. Anyway I was wondering what were the specs on the Daiwa hyper spinning rod you were using with the 3" plastic for the flatties, I am looking for something a little gutsier than my 1-4kg infeet ex. Cheers.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

It’s a 7’ 1.5-3kg mate.

[@hamishmahoney7860]

whats wrong with your 1-4 infeet for flathead, i was looking to get one

[@BOSS-rv7ju]

Would you recommend vanford 2500, 10ld braid and a 7” zodias a good combo for flathead/ bream etc. what lb rod?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

If you’re only throwing up to 1/4oz the 7’ 5-10lb would be sweet as mate.

[@BOSS-rv7ju]

@@LiamFitzpatrick awesome thank you!

[@thekidfisho8181]

Is this the flats of Labrador and what tide were you fishing

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah was the last of the run out mate.

[@KyanLucasMichael_Fishing]

Had a cast in that enclosure one arvo. Hooked 5 flattys ... they definitely get stuck in there

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah I found out the hard way that it’s a no fishing zone the other day when a male Karen ripped it up me. He took my photo so I filmed him. Pretty funny to be honest.

[@melbournefishing5200]

Great video mate. Im heading down to the GC this weekend and will be staying near the star. Any recommendations on locations close to there that I can get onto a few flatties?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

No idea where that is mate but a quick google earth search will show you a heap of flats worth fishing.

[@rosswilliams2303]

I catch fish right where the star is. There’s canals galore.

[@zephyr3670]

That pontoon has some massive bream under it they were chasing a small prawn, Went swimming there a couple of years ago was shocked at the size of them at least 45 to 50 cm.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah that’s crazy mate.

[@Spectre-tv7wi]

Nice fishes. I’ll try fish near the park at Southport and hopefully catch some flattys. Do people fish there often?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah as much as any land based spots mate.

[@33454262]

Very enjoyable video Liam. I'm useless with plastics. Do you think small hardbodies would have any success in that first area you fished?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah they’ll work. The snot weed in that area would be my concern.

[@le0ex]

Great video! Where is the last place you guys fishing?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Just a lake down the Goldy mate.

[@lukaswasp8162]

Good thing is this spot and surrounding is accessible by public transport too haha. For the slack pricks like me without their license :P

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah you need to sort that out mate. So much more you could go fish.

[@Tennisinslowmotion]

Hey mate thanks for the video. Just a question whats the hook size and brand?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Mostly run 1/4oz 1/0, 2/0 & 3/0 in TT mate depending on size of the bait. My spin gear I run light gauge hooks for better penetration.

[@Tennisinslowmotion]

@@LiamFitzpatrickawesome thankyou mate!

[@Tennisinslowmotion]

@@LiamFitzpatrick Hey mate. Just another question whats the hook you are using for the crabbys it looks different to the other ones and also whats bait/lures etc has worked best for you there?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

TT 1/40oz Hidden Weight size 1 or 1/0. Crabby for bream, shrimp for the win 😉

[@Tennisinslowmotion]

@@LiamFitzpatrick Hahaha nice one mate thats a good way to put it. Thanks again champ! ill go out and test the waters see how i go. So im guessing you use the hidden weighted ones for the gulp shrimp to

[@MrScrofulous]

Do you use scent on your plastics ? I'm trying to get into using them, but not getting any nibbles.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Not on water based bio baits like Gulp and Ecogear Aqua unless they’ve dried out a bit. But I’ll put S-Factor or Gulp Scent on anything rubber or hard mate.

[@MrScrofulous]

@@LiamFitzpatrick Thanks for the quick reply. What about Z-man 2.5 inch grubs ? I was chucking a line in the Tweed over the last couple days and getting no nibbles on the plastic, but plenty on prawns. Didn't hook anything decent of course, just tiddler bream. I have some Gulp mini lobsters, might try those.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

You need to keep moving around mate. Bio baits will work better on bream but you have to fish light and close to structure. You can fish heavier for flathead and they aren’t as smart as bream.

[@MrScrofulous]

@@LiamFitzpatrick Yeah, I'm using a light rig, still on mono, tried a few different spots, and yep, looking for structure. I keep running into crap weather too, when I'm home from work. It's all good fun though.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

You’re gunna want to start running braid mate. Mono and plastics fishing is a hard combination.

[@hogoso2245]

Was it high or low tide If you don’t mind

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Run out mate.

[@littlejarred]

What lures

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

I’m sure I say it in the vid mate, 3” Gulp Shrimp and 2” Gulp Crabby with a XZone Mini Swammer from memory.

[@33454262]

Thank you. I wasn't aware of the weed.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Can be a problem at times mate.

[@danb.9700]

Mate loved the session mate. How good is the accessibility on the Goldie mate. Keep em coming. Thanks

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Cheers mate I’m glad you enjoyed the simplicity of it.

[@jasethejewman]

Karen's got a yeast infection by the sounds

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

🤣

[@justinadams5159]

Clearly you do not suck, unlike me who has gone several session doughnuts one after another

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Mate if you went down there and did what I did you’d catch for sure.

[@justinadams5159]

I know I have really bad luck for starters, but I reckon I was doing a lot right. Around structure from bank chucking well presented bait of bread pressed around hook and Zmann Grub in Motoroil W/scent, then fishing out from Pool edge with Cranka Hardbody Shallow Diver with a generous amount of scent, even around hooks. Hardly got a touch all morning. Tides good and water quality quite clear.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah what I find is you gotta keep moving, always have the next spot in mind based on what’s going on at that spot.

[@jaygee9047]

​@@justinadams5159 i feel you mate, keep at it mate ...happens to all of us

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Confidence is key.

[@gavanbaldwin8228]

LOL...the local fun POLICE ..YOU CAN NOT FISH THERE. MATE. . THERES SIGNS UP THERE. 🤣🤣 ...I would love if he had said that to me ...the guy needs to GET A LIFE .. WHATS NEXT ...A SIGN SAYING YOU NO STANDING OR BREATHING AIR IN THIS AREA...😂😂

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah I learned a while ago that people go through shit and you can’t blame them for dumb shit in a moment because you don’t really know what has bought them there. Treat each other like the other has lost everything and everyone and imagine how that feels before you tear em to shreds.
