Im all for catch and release, but if I get a flounder and its legal, then its coming home. One of the best eaters out there in my opinion.

[@flashematicsfishingadventu9536]

Flathead are such a fun fish to catch on lures. Nice sesh Nev...!!

[@jackdouggee9101]

Loving the videos man keep it up 👏

[@peterkelly1355]

Awesome video mate thanks for taking us along with you

[@NevsFishing]

No worries at all, glad you enjoy! 😁👍

[@adolph1551]

nice video like always Nev.

[@junsadventures]

Man you've got some great footage! Love the editing! Also double clutch goes off! What state are you fishing in?

[@000khalil000]

Good on ya doing catch and release

[@Lachiehall0104]

Love it

[@NevsFishing]

Cheers👌

[@zekemostert7681]

I've used the Daiwa Double Clutch 2 times and caught 3 flattys of 40, 50, 60cm on the Laser Wakasagi

[@karltrepka1627]

great vid!......what was the lure u caught the flounder on? looked clear with a bit of orange?

[@mikig1021]

sick video!

[@rufflesal]

That flounder was an interesting catch. Good eating I hear.

[@NevsFishing]

Heard they chew good, may have to try one sometime! 👌👍

[@arthurkatsavos958]

You won't be disappointed.

[@thatgreekg1]

Nev I know I’m a bit late to this video haha but just wondering what your setup was In this video. Also did you have braid tied to leader or just the regular mono to leader

[@jzfishing103]

Hey mate great video,how deep should the water be for the lure to work?

[@wayofenergy]

Question for ya, Nev. Is it ok for the diawa double clutch to scrape along the bottom in such shallows? Nice fish. Thanks for the vid

[@NevsFishing]

Yeah I think it’s good when the lure kicks up a little bit of sand and glad you enjoyed!

[@arthurkatsavos958]

Flounder may look like mutant flathead but are really tasty under the griller packed with garlic and oregano.

[@fishermanextrordinaire]

Nice I'm liking where you are there I think I know where I'll try walk out there I reckon. Wish me luck

[@robertphillips3078]

Love flathead 👏👏 where are you fishing

[@jzfishing103]

Awesome vid Nev! I live in Sydney harbour and the water is pretty deep and I am not sure which lures can help me target flathead.Please need some tips.

[@LeonAust]

Use a 2 to 5 kg bream rod 7ft with a very good braid Gosen W hard type 8 10lb or 12lb with FC Rock 8lb flouro leader trace, 1/12 to 1/8th even 1/6th jig head with a suitable plastic lures (google it) the lighter jig weight the better for the conditions. Plastics like gulp turtle back worm 4inch camo colour are a good all round plastic type lure as the fish eat it. A good hard body lure would be the double deep or deep Jackall Chubby lure in Ghost gill or ghost Ayu colours buy both and just roll them over 2 to 3m water on drop offs or throw shorelines. Gulp and plastics can go deeper and try jigging on the drift. Hard bodies Chubbys will go to 2.5 m with th DD Chubbys basically use in shallower waters throw into shorelines. One might invest in a hand line spool with 150lb mono line and attach a tackle back to the line, just incase you get your lures stuck and what them back.

[@arthurkatsavos958]

Flathead were everywhere in the 90's when I was a teenager. They were in pest like amounts in Port Phillip Bay. Other fish species had no chance to attack your bait. Where did they all go? Can anyone elaborate?

[@hamishmahoney7860]

people realised they were good eating and overfished them all

[@stringbean90]

In my belly bro

[@robgunn2317]

In the seventies, we would catch them in droves. As you say you can sit of Mordialloc all day and not catch 1😢

[@samuelgeue999]

Taking them above 60cm is the problem, flatty over 60 are the breeders, they produce the big heathly flattys, its killing there population by taking them over that.

[@teeanahera8949]

Commercial fishing is usually the culprit.

[@peteranders8888]

How do you rate the Tasline for castability, fraying and wind knots? It's not a cheap braid so curious to hear your thoughs on it, cheers.

[@NevsFishing]

Tasline is the best braid I’ve used, ticks all boxes I reckon. It does hurt the pocket though😂

[@spinksy]

Went and grabbed a few of those Diawa lures gunna give it a shot tomorrow got the fingers crossed!

[@NevsFishing]

Very good lures, hopefully they get you onto a few

[@spinksy]

Nev's Fishing first ever fish on a hard body lure today mate! Thanks heaps for the lure selection 👍🏼

[@NevsFishing]

@@spinksy No worries mate, glad you got onto some! Good work!

[@FassysAdventures]

hey mate i love your videos, always good to watch, just started up our own channel of fishing down around South Australia, just a quick question, in your opinion which soft plastic colour is the best and what are the best grounds to look for, for flat head. cheers mate!

[@ethansgonefishing]

Depends on the water clarity but white, pink and greeny yellow colours are usually the best

[@teeanahera8949]

In deeper water no colours can be seen as all the wavelengths of light except blue get absorbed, then blue is the last to be absorbed. That’s why the sky and sea are blue.

[@michaelswart490]

Your videos are the best ever what's your favourite fish to catch I haven't caught a flathead with a rod but I have caught two with a cast net

[@NevsFishing]

I love chasing all species of fish but some of my favorites are mulloway, squid and snapper

[@michaelswart490]

@@NevsFishing thanks that you reply so quickly

[@Minzy_]

Good fish counter please? ahahah

[@anselmocat]

[@NevsFishing]

[@vsetix__4919]

I got 5 flathead yesty arvo all above 50cm just on curly tail jig worm and a little bit of gulp scent

[@scooterxavier6575]

I caught to pinky’s with two hooks on one rod please try mornington pier

[@AdriftFishing]

You don’t find the double clutch dives too deep on the flat?

[@NevsFishing]

Yeah a little bit but you can work around it

[@Kaelan_Bell]

I’m still out to catch my first flatty!

[@NevsFishing]

Good luck on your journey!

[@zqrbs3732]

[@lachysfishing6751]

[@NevsFishing]

Aha waiting for it👌👑

[@lachysfishing6751]

Jamie Odonnell hahah

[@theshibalover]

[@NevsFishing]

Wasn’t prepared to keep any so just let em go

[@jaysontatum793]

i also caught a 68cm flathead on sunday

[@coopersmit5198]

Try micro jogging in the sand holes for flatties on your yak

[@tajblum8189]

Hi nev what time of year do you get your squid at sanny

[@NevsFishing]

Around now is 👌

[@tajblum8189]

Nev's Fishing there hasn’t really been any around

[@NevsFishing]

Yeah its a bit strange, they should fire up very soon. Just keen an eye out for ink on the pier around now

[@tajblum8189]

Nev's Fishing thanks bro means heaps and keep up the good videos

[@paul_yt2254]

Would it be worth using some burley for the flattys? Another mean vid man 🤙🍻🍻

[@NevsFishing]

If I was bait fishing i would definitely be using burley but I don’t usually when lure fishing since I’m constantly moving around. Cheers as always paul, legend!👌👑 🍻

[@paul_yt2254]

@@NevsFishing yeh good point....i bait fish so was wondering if it would pick up the bites in the same way. Maybe give it a go for a vid? See if it makes any difference? Cheers man 🍻

[@NevsFishing]

Certainly might give it a crack, cheers mate! 🎣🍻

[@mattyboy.1]

When I was prawning I caught a like 0.5 cm flathead in my net

[@Julie-ol4lf]

Where at?

[@KangaJack-ns9gd]

Do you put them on the Stove for dinner, or call Domino's?

[@portsfishing1101]

What would you consider to be a big flathead?

[@NevsFishing]

For me 50+ is big 80+ is huge😂

[@liam-fk5yd]

that one disliker must not be able to catch any fish :/

[@NevsFishing]

Theres always one 🤦‍♂️

[@ethanmarson436]
