FLATHEAD FISHING LOGAN RIVER 21ST OCTOBER 2023

I went for a trip down the Logan River.
1. Because I had a freezer full of fish frames to get rid of and I was hoping I could get a mudcrab or two.
2. It was a beautiful day with a light breeze and I was hoping to try for flathead on the banks opposite the old gazebo.
I wasn't disappointed and I was kept busy while I was there with catches of stingrays, huge catfish and a variety of other species. Obviously I didn't film the catfish or stingray being caught and released but I did film the couple of nice flathead that ended up in my esky.
I hope everyone enjoys the video.

What baits for the flathead please John, you put in at the best boat ramp cheers Rich

[@johnthefishingman]

Hi Richard - yes, it is the best boat ramp and Tony who looks after everything around there is a great guy.
With regards to bait - I was fishing with pilchards - cut in half and using a 2 hook gang rig.

Nice John, what lb line and leader do you run on those rods mate

[@johnthefishingman]

Hi Steven. I fish with Jarvis Walker - Jimmy Crane rods - the 2 rods I was fishing for flathead on had 9lb line with 9lb leader. With 9lb line you can hold almost anything.

[@johnthefishingman]

Hi Chris - I tried a couple of spots but caught the fish on the banks opposite the old gazebo.
