G'day mate Recently found your videos. Really enjoy your natural style of presenting your videos. It's like fishing with a mate.

[@mylurebox]

That’s so good to hear Darrell. Thanks for your interest in em. Happy fishing mate

[@vladimircharous8945]

Great video Mate keep em coming please!!! Taking my kayak out now for flatties in the shallows!

[@BIGROBAUSSIE]

Heading out to chase these in the morning for a feed. 👍

[@truthbetold2012]

totally addictive love wading the flats and edges fishing shin deep water for those big bow waving boofs...amazing how illusive a metre flathead is I've taken 82 fish over 80cm since sept 2019... not one fish over a metre.... around 50 of those were between 80 and 90 with the best being 98cm...I lost and spooked 4 fish that would have been over a metre this season....I also saw 2 lays that would have been 120 cm - 140cm...those big girls gorge themselves in the shallows and disappear back into deeper water until they get hungry....they don't feed that much IMO...they really are greedy when feeding have caught em with a gut full of big mullet and a mullet in the mouth yet they still smack the lures!!..once you start putting in the time and casts you open a whole new world of awesomeness I'm always amazed at the things I learn about the habits of big flathead never thought we could consistently catch em on the surface...thanks for the psyche up I'm going for a flick!

With form like that mate you should take a GoPro with you.

[@mylurebox]

That’s damn good going mate! I reckon those big flatties are still underrated for their sports fishing challenge and fighting ability

[@truthbetold2012]

chasing crocs has breathed new life into my fishing... I always used a boat fishing flats.. would get em as by catch surface fishing for bream n whiting... spooked many big fish up shallow over the years never really targeted em in the boat... but since I got into wading 7 years ago my flathead game has hit top shelf have seen things I never dreamed of seeing had sessions that people would say are fantasy much like your flatty session on the how to vid...4 x 80cm+ fish session type of fishing..big bow waving Barra boofs in shin deep water!..sight casting fish cruising on/off the flats.. big fish coming out of no where at your feet and smashing my lure...thanks for the psyche up vid btw...got me out of the house the other morning had a 95cm fish an hour after commenting and lost a fish around 80 at the boga's!...only 2 bites I got in 6hrs of wading around!

G'day John love you video's been watching them for a while i'm coming up to Brisbane next week just wondered if you could suggest a good charter operator to take us an the kids out maybe ?

[@mylurebox]

Cheers Ross. Clint from Brad Smiths charters operates lure and livey on the Gold Coast Broadwater. Ryan from Capn Charters operates lure fishing charters from Jacobs Well. Both are gold!

[@MaxisFishingAdventures]

Nice video as usual mate

Hey John. I am looking into buying a pedal fishing kayak. What would you recommend or should I get a little tinnie. I’m looking at using it for flatties and jack fishing

[@FISHINGTHESPOTPR]

Hi from Puerto Rico nice place.

[@drewrosa5403]

What size is ya trolling motor john im sure i have heard u say it before I just got a 34lbs motor but looks a lil big for me yak do have 24 lbs too

[@mylurebox]

She’s a 40lb salt water SP Drew ;)

[@drewrosa5403]

@@mylurebox Looking at the fpv battery system For a 34lb motor Only because the weight factor What batteries do you run? and if you know Lowrance 7ti fish finder Is it any good in your opinion.

[@nenadnedovic9246]

What yak you running mate

[@jakereus5494]

Do u know if you can put a electric motor like yours on any other kayaks? Looking for a cheaper one and really want to do your electric motor mod

[@mylurebox]

Not sure yet Jake. I’ve gotta take a look and hear back from a few boys trying to get it done.

[@BriansBoatingandoutdoors]

Jake have you seen them mounted on the side? Or do you want the centre mount?

[@bradbergstrum6371]

Hi John I am looking at buying a decent Flattie rod, was looking at 2-4kg or should I go heavier. Many thanks

[@mylurebox]

Hey Brad 2-4 is sweet IMO. a longer rod around the 7ft or so range will give you that extra casting distance which plays a role in flatty fishing too ;)

[@bradbergstrum6371]

@@mylurebox thanks John appreciate your advice. Love your channel and look forward to watching all your vids.

[@aussie_fishcatcha9583]

i love your vids! you are my favourite KZbin. i am going to buy one soft plastic lure for flathead.what would you recommend.

[@mylurebox]

Thanks for your support mate. I think the Zman DieZel MinnowZ with a 1/4oz snakelockz jig head is the most versatile that’ll last more fish. ;)

[@aussie_fishcatcha9583]

@@mylurebox thanks i just got the diesel minnows in sexy mullet colour.

[@easton105]

Yooooooooo how is your trolling motor setup on your kayak, I’m trying to figure out a way to put one in mine, Thanks

[@mylurebox]

Hey mate. You’ll have to take a look through my vids for the details on it. It’s a cut down minn kota onto a base plate. An awesome set up that I’ve done some run through in the past videos.

[@duckdowne5228]
