it would be interesting to see if Gummies would take a crab lure - most caught in the shallow areas of WP are full of crab so are snapper for that matter

maybe the biggest problem is to use the lure you would need clear water - most of the shallow areas are not very clear hence lending it self to bait fishing
we have caught Gummies on Micro Jigs around Coronet bay so it must be clear enough for the fish to sight fish a bait there

Perfect flathead lure.. Working slowly across the bottom.. Good for covering ground aswell

My last flathead was a few months ago but it was also an unexpected bycatch

try catching the flathead on plastics or hardbodies, and on 5-6lb for good measure thats a lot more fun.
The crab in the pic i havent used, but bream love that sort of plastics, but id rather a cranka crab than this anyday

I have never caught a fish on plastics or lures of any kind. That's my next thing to do.. after I finally caught a KGW
