Hunting a Metre Flathead on the Gold Coast

  • In this video we spend two days showing you how to fish for big Flathead in shallow waters, using swimbaits and large divers. A metre Flathead is something Bergie has been chasing for years and with a few big girls getting caught on the Gold Coast it seems like the perfect time to try and hunt one down.
    The break in filming for Fishing Addiction has allowed us to head out on the water with Rodney and put our fishing skills to the test.

    I caught a 112cm flatty under Sovereign Island bridge on a live Hardy Head and a 102cm in Biggera Ck about 20yrs ago. Both in the same year, both in the GC.

    Have you ever tried the shimano arma joint? I've heard hot pink is a favourite for flathead. Have you any thought on hot pink or is white the complete stand out?

    Why don't you design a swimbait shaped like a flathead? And call it The Croc.

    • @MarkBergFishingAddiction
      @MarkBergFishingAddiction  Год назад +1

      The Zerek Affinity swimbaits are the best in my opinion but the Bone Focus lures have been getting a few as well 👍👍
