Targeting Big Dusky Flathead In Shallow Water | Tips & Techniques

Over the long weekend I went across to Lakes Entrance to do some fishing for big flathead with my good mate Jason Lane from On The Edge Lures. In this episode we show how to chase them in the shallows using soft plastic lures and provide some good tips for fishing from the shore or a boat/kayak. Enjoy! :)

East Gippsland is such a beautiful part of Victoria.

Absolutely, Jason moved there about a year and a half ago and he loves it out there and has figured out the fishing as you can probably see. As much as I like East Gippsland, I love Central Vic more. The Loddon West of Bendigo and the Campaspe to the east are all amazing places. The North East is also some pretty special country with the pristine trout streams

Great video jordy nice surrounding. The big flatheads fight well. A few over 60 cm how good is that. Always look forward to the next video. SEE YOU ON THE WATER OLD CHARLIE WITH MY FEATHERED FRIENDS

Cheers mate, those big flatties sure do go hard in shallow water!

You’ve got me thinking about fishing for something other than freshwater natives now! Good vid mate and great fish!

[@jordythebassist]

Cheers Craig! You've got the perfect boat to do it too, highly recommend it and the best part is if you get a fish around that 45-50cm mark then you will have a great feed with one of the best eating fish there is!
