From a bloke that’s spent the last four decades learning as much as I could about this species, and averaging 4days a week on the water, this video was simply the best bit of advice on vision of how these big girls like to hunt, and their preferred habitat. Your a wealth of knowledge Greg. Well done
@@gregswickedfishing mate, thank you.. someone whose happy to share such gold information like you do, That’s a credit to your years of learning the old school way, time on the water, donut trips to start, to learning certain areas where they like to hunt, tides, moon phases, , time of year, the way they think as a fish, and for you to take all that in, and then share it with others, so they too can target these awesome fish with the knowledge passed on by you, shows there’s proof in the old fishing adage of “ who shares wins”.. without giving away exact locations too.. Your a legend 💪
@@BillyDanielfishing Thanks mate and as you know learning the ins and out of species, locations, techniques etc takes up so much time but it's good to pass this on. My only worry with doing this is that people forget the basics and what it takes to replicate this for other species. The new era anglers get spoon feed a lot of info these days and lack the knowledge and steps to learn species habitat/techniques to become a better angler.
@@gregswickedfishing so very true Greg.. I know for your commercial buisness you rely on sounders etc for deep reef work, but for estuaries etc I hate the new world of livescope, mega 360 etc.. I’d rather test my knowledge learnt from decades than get excited from watching some fish hit my lure after dropping it on its face on livescope
That was incredible footage! didn't realise I needed a underwater drone until I watched this video. The Flathead spitting the lure while frustrating to have happen fascinating to watch thank you so much for sharing this epic footage for us to watch.
As others pointed out: very very informative! Your videos don't really apply to me as I'm landbased but the level of good info on this one makes me subscribes for the next landbased one
Hey mate glad you liked it and thanks for subbing. A lot of what I talked about in that vid still can be applied for land base flathead fishing as well.
Well done Greg, loved the video , underwater footage tops how good to see that one through the lure great stuff, one of my favorite fish to target as well. just Sub,up . Thanks Chris.
You said the weather was magic Greg ... so was your video. Not seen any other like it. You've got that drone action down to the proverbial fine art. Loved all of it.
That's the best Flathead drone footage I've ever seen. I'd be super keen to see more of that. Watching them like that is as good as catching them. I'm guessing you're in the southern bay, I very much like how well you preserved the location 👍
Thanks Ty really appreciate the kind words mate and glad you enjoyed it. The footage came from about 15 different spots but I'm sure you can work out the general area with how clear the water was. It wasn't easy preserving the location and I not only did this for myself but also to avoid ruining it for others who fish the same areas as well.
@@gregswickedfishing perfectly said Greg.. discovering locations such as this, by putting in some research in your local areas, adds sweeter satisfaction when you put the pieces together that you’ve supplied in the video. There’s literally thousands of areas with exactly the same habitat around the country..
@@gregswickedfishing not many commercial/ ex commercial operators will share this kinda knowledge easily. They spend thousands of hours on the water learning what they know. And that’s what I personally find so awesome about this video.. it’s coming from the mouth of a bloke whose knows exactly what he’s talking about .. it’s literally helping the average fisho maximise their chances of a feed, or for some fun
Awesome video mate , first time viewer of your channel .... sensational footage especially the underwater drone that was crazy , and those aerial drone footage absolutely incredible .... thanks for sharing 👍
What a fabulous video and so informative. Instant subscription, notifications and liked. Flatty are my target species and you have just cleared up some long term questions.......thanks dude!
Thoroughly professional Greg. I could tell you like seeing them swim away. I'll happily take a few for the plate, but gee it's a good feeling watching them glide off. In the 70's a mate of my dad's was a keen trout fisherman (fly only) and he rarely kept a fish. As a kill everything lout I didn't understand. With age as they say. It is something I've managed to instil into my two lads fortunately. It's all about the fishing, catching is just a bonus. Subscribed and posted to some mates. Richard Friday
Hi Richard, Thank you for the kind words mate and yes I love watching them swim away. We eat lots of fish and I'm lucky I get to catch lots of tasty deep water reef fish that don't release well so I will let most things go if I don't need it or it's in areas that's over fished. Thanks for the support mate it's appreciated.
Hey Greg! Just came across your channel and this the 1st vid. Wow what an awesome bit of footage. I just ordered a blade n tails rod for fathers day. Hope their good as the reviews. Great job!
Greg like everyone else's words mine are the same. Thanks for sharing this incredible footage and the depth of your knowledge is incredible. Thank you mate
Great informative video Greg. Thanks for taking the time to bring this footage to us. Do you have any footage of the lure movement through the water? Have you had any stingray's take a liking to the lure?
Thanks mate I'm glad you enjoyed it. I do and maybe next vid I do on flathead I will put it in. Never had a stingray eat a plastic but I've accidentally hooked them in the flaps many times.
Great education it's a shame that more people and weekend fishermen/women don't hold the same respect as yourself l went down to crescent head today and have to say it's starting to p#ss me off people taking undersize fish just because it ended up on there hook how do we educate people with little or no respect for our great water ways and the creatures that live in them it saddens me to think it will only get worse before it gets better
Pretty cool. L & a Sub bruz.👍🏼 Only thing .. u sound like a Victorian or South Ozzy.. sorta gay but there's nothin wrong with that. jokes bruv good vid ✌🏽 QldER..🤙🏽
Mate this is fantastic footage. I have a Certate 3000 Lt, Commander Longbolt rod med/light 3-6kg 218 cms. I am using 12lb braid onto a 10 lb mono leader. Any thoughts on my setup and if it is suited to flathead? Subbed👌
Thanks mate I'm glad you enjoyed it. Mate your set up is fine and will do the job nicely for most plastics, vibes and surface lures. Basically the smaller the reel, lighter the line and rod rating the further you can cast and often get a better action from the smaller soft plastics. You just need to be smart when landing the bigger fish.

Fantastic video. Flathead one of the most fascinating fish species, my absolute favourite.
Thanks mate I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've chased a lot of different fish over the years and I agree mate. They're a pretty cool fish.
Hey Greg, love the video, learnt so much. Do you know if they swallow their prey or chew them (ect.)?
Hi mate thanks heaps I'm glad you liked it. Flathead inhale and swallow their prey mate.

Cheers mate they're good cheap fun that's for sure.
Great footage - really enjoyed it.
Thanks mate I appreciate the comment.
Great footage Greg, they look so lethargic but explode into action.
Thanks heaps Doug. They were very shy that day once the wind dropped out. Other days they climb over anything you throw at them.
Some amazing footage, lure take and aerial. So good
Thanks mate I glad you liked it.
10 out of 10 for the footage some of the best I have seen and very good content have watched a few now all are very well done 👍

What a great video thanks for sharing some awesome footage there
Thank you mate glad you liked it. Cheers
Thanks for sharing your passion mate. Sooo cool!!!
Thanks mate I appreciate the support
where are you fishing now, close town will be OK, thanks mate
Flathead can be caught anywhere but to increase your chances you need to in areas where the bait is.
This was so insane. Love this
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
What an amazing tutorial thanks Greg
Thanks heaps Darren glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support mate.
Great informative video Greg. Thanks for taking the time to bring this footage to us. Do you have any footage of the lure movement through the water? Have you had any stingray's take a liking to the lure?
Thanks mate I'm glad you enjoyed it. I do and maybe next vid I do on flathead I will put it in. Never had a stingray eat a plastic but I've accidentally hooked them in the flaps many times.
Brilliant footage.
Thanks heap mate glad you liked it. Cheers
What was the general location you fishing Greg, amazing conditions
In Moreton bay from about 15 different locations mate.
Great videos your last two!
Thanks heaps Smithy
The way you are holding that fish, aren't you worried you will get smashed by those spikes near the gils? I heard it hurts
yeah it happens at times. Most times the fish has calmed down and it's not too bad.
@@gregswickedfishing thanks for the reply and info..
That really is incredible footage!
Thanks mate glad you liked it
Best fishing channel
Thanks you
Best footage ever of flathead
Like a video game ,, technology used for good and not evil , bad times ahead for humanity,,
Thanks Benny luckily for technology we can capture footage like this for people to enjoy. But I do know what you mean mate. Cheers
That underwater footage of the flattys 👌
Thanks mate
Great footage
thanks heaps mate
Are the banks exposed at low tide? Great video.
Thanks mate. The weed banks are as shown in the video walking around on them.
Great footage mate. Maybe next time just tilt the camera up slightly so we can see some land 😂
Thanks heaps mate. Haha I was wondering how long until someone said that lol
Excellent,
Thanks Gary I'm glad you liked it. Cheers
You should line the inside of your tinny with bitumen insulation material. It will kill that annoying wave slapping noise!
How many stingrays did you catch?
haha zero mate. I didn't fish the area they were to avoid accidentally hooking one.
Brilliant. Thanks for the great insight. Never caught a lizard but you've just inspired me to have a crack from my kayak.
Thanks Nick I'm glad you liked it mate and good luck nailing some from your kayak mate. Cheers
Top video👍
Thanks heaps mate glad you liked it
Unreal footage.
Thanks mate I'm glad you liked it. Cheers
Peter Pakula and john Palermo and now you . The Fountain of knowledge .
Hahaha thanks mate but those are legends

Epic - Attenborough wants your number
haha thanks mate
I caught the biggest flathead with a cigarette 🚬 when I was 12 year's old those fish 🐟 a very stupid and eat anything
hahaha that's a classic Darren
@Gregs Wicked Fishing I was thinking 🤔 of making a ciggerette lure because flathead are so dumb maybe I'll be a millionaire
Flathead tails are 65 bucks ( two weeks out from Xmas), crazy prices, I keep telling the missus the kids love leather jackets just the same, yeah-nah
Wow that's crazy prices but they do taste good.
