Have to disagree with you there mate.purple5ive wrote:if your fishing the bottom, flathead will never say no to a lure, bait is a waste..
I found more of a strike rate on pilchard tails then plastics any day of the week if they are biting
Maybe we need a flathead comp.
We just had one lol wait lets ask crumpet_avenger what he got his on to win the comp.

Re: Land based flatheads
I reckon lures outfish bait for flatties. They are an ambush predator, so the more ground you cover, the more you catch. And they ain't fussy. Unless you are drifitng with baits I guess.

Re: Land based flatheads
the true way to fish for flathead is to drift in about a 5 winds but im lazy in westenport due to tidal low and anchor all the time except at bemagui and drift there with bait and normally bag outBroomstick wrote:I reckon lures outfish bait for flatties.
