For this reason you need a wide variety of outfits and lures to target them.
Check out the “flathead eating lures” clips on and you’ll see tow cam footage taken from You Tube that shows just how aggro flathead are, and how they take the lure head on.įlathead fishing on the Gold Coast, where I live, can be in water 15cm deep or more than 20m deep. Over the past year I’ve found a few new tricks that have increased our success, and after looking at flathead attacking lures on “flathead cam” I’ve come up with a few conclusions about the best way to approach these aggressive predators. What I find really interesting about flathead is that there are constantly new ways to catch them on lures in a wide variety of environments, and each season we seem to change and refine the lures on our favourite flathead outfits. Personally I’d prefer to see this upper size dropped to 60cm to increase the number of spawning females in the system. Originally this was an upper limit of 70cm, but was changed a couple of years ago to 75cm for reasons unknown. In Queensland, anglers have a daily possession limit of five flathead between 40 and 75cm in length. They are also a great eating fish, which makes their ongoing management something of a challenge. Over the years flatties have become one of the most popular lure fishing targets for Australian anglers. The old flattie is a resilient species, surviving well in heavily fished waterways close to large populations of people. DUSKY flathead are one of the most popular estuary species in this country.
