5 inch Zman Curly tailz Nuked chicken my fave for flathead even Salmon.Though they take just about any sinking minnows I throw at em as well, bream not so much unless theyre smaller like 2.5" grubs.
Great list Shroom! Can’t deny the Daiwa Double Clutch’s mystical powers, I’ve had some fun with that lure. Breaks my heart whenever I lose one though! Haha
Great video champion, would love to see you take all 5 lures out, and try to catch a flathead on each of the 5 lures in one day, That would be a great follow up video, if possible,
@@TheFishingcartel yeah it's like I've watched ever vid thinking ok I'm gonna know the lures hes gonna use, then boom pulls out an old faithful lure I was like well haven't seen that! Hope we can all get out an fish soon. Keep safe guys
Do you have any tips on choosing a colour of soft plastic for flathead?The water I fish in is clear blue water and is about 3 metres.I was looking at the baby bass colour and wakasagi from the baitjunkie 3.2 inch minnow, would that be good?
Shroom, great vid, question: how to you tie onto a split ring? Not sure how to do it as I am new to fishing with hard bodies. do you tie onto the double section or in the gap?
My top 5... 1.zman 3inch slim swim ..blood worn 2.Bassday sugar deep 70mm' 3,Zman streakZ 3.75 on ned rig jig head.(hop off the bottom ) 4.Daiwa double clutch 95mm 5.Squidge Prawn Paddle tail 80mm
I got one jew, 6 trevally, 1 35cm bream 3 flathead and 8 or so big whiting in a 3 hour session shore based on the parra today. All on a quarter ounce blade. So that's my favourite lure for everything . You youngsters really should try them. They're one weakness is theyre no good around rocky edges. But they are otherwise the most efficient small lure type I've ever used.🐳🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🦈
@@ShroomFishing Arms ok but no sunscreen so I'm a bit cooked. Yesterday was quieter but today's session was awesome. I dropped the biggest whiting I have ever seen right at my feet yesterday. It looked about a kilo and might have gone 50cm. Thought it was a soapy jew when I first saw it. It was freaky how big this thing was.😭
@@markrigg6623 nice going mark, I keep coming up with zero on the paramatta river, been fishing down towards the gladesville bride mostly early mornings. What blade are you using?
@@wbromfield I'm using quarter ounce TTs. But you have to change the hooks because the ones they come with are blunt. Which is a hassle and it adds expense. Most brands work well. Strike pro cyber vibes are another I've had success with. You should find when it warms up a bit you'll get better results. In winter you have to be at the right place.
@@markrigg6623 I took your advice and bought a ECO VIBE, caught a 43cm and 70cm flatty on the river today. Smashed my PB by 15cm. Stoked as. Thanks for the advice Mark!
Good choices, enjoy your vids 👍I'd thrown in a weed less rigged squidgies lobby around weed. 110mm rapala shadow rap in the shallows brings in some big girls
Thanks Bob. I haven't used Squidgie lobbys in what feels like 20 years haha. You just forget about how many lures are at our disposal today. I was considering throwing in something like that Shadow Rap in the list but I just hadn't used it enough in recent times. Those Rapalas are deadly efficient
Double clutch has to be the most consistent lure I’ve used. Every time I use it I catch over 5 decent flatters. Nuclear chickens also do the job especially in dirtier water
@@ShroomFishing was waiting for my dad to finish pumping yabbies and was just having a flick off the sand bank with a double clutch and first cast bang hooked up a flatty
Its what we call in the trade an " Internet lure". Flathead eat any thing and you don't have to use expensive Japanese lures to catch them. Sorry guys, but its true!
They work well if they are touching the bottom periodically but not if they are trying to dig through the bottom of that makes sense. One good way to avoid this is to keep the rod tip up and slow the retrieve a taf
OK two things to note. Shroom got a hair cut s it must of been this week this was filmed and someone got some new gloves finally... Do you rate them lures? They certainly doing some damage
Shroom Live Stream this Sat 21/8 with special guest Ray from NSW Maritime. He will talk about boating matters including covid restrictions
Awesome, looking forward to it,

Haha awesome N Brownie! Glad you like it 👊
The gulp jerk shad and Silver fox fish are my favourites for flatty too. Have been to a long time. Great lures
Excellent Boris. How does it go again? Great minds think alike? 😎
5 inch Zman Curly tailz Nuked chicken my fave for flathead even Salmon.Though they take just about any sinking minnows I throw at em as well, bream not so much unless theyre smaller like 2.5" grubs.
Good choices champion . I love number 5 , for flattys bream and bass ! 👍🎣 love the 35mm deepdiver . 👍
Thanks David! Really is a lure for everyone! Those small hardbodies are just fun to use
Well done, loved it
Thanks Michael! Notepads out haha
Very informative vid mate! Thanks
Thanks mate, I keep putting off these videos but now is a good time due to the restrictions
Great list Shroom! Can’t deny the Daiwa Double Clutch’s mystical powers, I’ve had some fun with that lure. Breaks my heart whenever I lose one though! Haha
Thanks Hai! A top notch lure and yeah not fun losing the odd one haha

Hi Shroom - Thanks for that video!
A1, Tight lines.
No problem Kevin 👍
@@ShroomFishing Good videos!
An excellent presentation Shroom. bn
Many thanks Neil! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Great video champion, would love to see you take all 5 lures out, and try to catch a flathead on each of the 5 lures in one day, That would be a great follow up video, if possible,
Thanks Anthony! Great idea. Maybe one day I'll be able to carry that out. Would be interesting
Another great vid brother love how even after all this time, each video I learn something new off you. I'm forever greatfull mate!
Definitely learn something ever time
@@TheFishingcartel yeah it's like I've watched ever vid thinking ok I'm gonna know the lures hes gonna use, then boom pulls out an old faithful lure I was like well haven't seen that! Hope we can all get out an fish soon. Keep safe guys
Thanks Jorre! Now we just gotta wait till restrictions relax and we can put it to some good use!
@@jorre877 hahaha for sure bro keep fishing 🎣
Nice top 5 mate
Thank you mate! Very hard to narrow down any top 5 list but at least it is well thought out!
Samaki vibes 85mm are by far my favourite. Zman would be up there though and the double clutch 👍🏼
Oooo you picked a top 5 lure out of one of my potential future lists Lachlan! Those Samaki vibes are incredible
Do you have any tips on choosing a colour of soft plastic for flathead?The water I fish in is clear blue water and is about 3 metres.I was looking at the baby bass colour and wakasagi from the baitjunkie 3.2 inch minnow, would that be good?
Shroom, great vid, question: how to you tie onto a split ring? Not sure how to do it as I am new to fishing with hard bodies. do you tie onto the double section or in the gap?
Probably use a uni knot or blood knot if tying to the split ring. A lot of people remove the split ring and use a loop knot.
Not first today but great video shroom
Thanks Jono! I had a late night as usual getting this one ready. Good time to have a sus of the inventory in times like these
@@ShroomFishing yes definitely. Just wondering are the brimz lures also good for bream
When you're using the Berkley Gulp Jerk shad, how heavy do you go when fishing at Botany Bay (size lead)?
Hey Mohammad, I use 3/8 and 1/2oz size 3/0 hooks. There's a video fishing Botany Bay with that exact lure in the video (linked)
#1 -120mm squidgy wriggler. #2 - 79 Hank Tune Jackall Squirrel
Nice, a whole package of goodies David!
Small samaki vibe and the small bassday sugadeep, work best for me in sydney harbour,
Nice one Mark! One of those videos makes one of my future videos
you need a sponsor!
Thanks Jordan! You guys are all I need! 😎👊
My top 5...
1.zman 3inch slim swim ..blood worn
2.Bassday sugar deep 70mm'
3,Zman streakZ 3.75 on ned rig jig head.(hop off the bottom )
4.Daiwa double clutch 95mm
5.Squidge Prawn Paddle tail 80mm
That's a top list Simon! In fact, one of those there is my secret #6 once i get to uploading it!
@@ShroomFishing yeah thanks .they work well up here on the mid nth coast. Watermelon red.bloodworm and motor oil my favourite colours .
@@simonhunt4614 Can't go wrong with that!

With the squidgie, isn't the 3/8 jig head you recommend too heavy for shore fishing off the rocks?
Good point. On paper it seems like it would be too heavy but in practice it works well
Good choices, enjoy your vids 👍I'd thrown in a weed less rigged squidgies lobby around weed. 110mm rapala shadow rap in the shallows brings in some big girls

Absolutely have found the same vKriptik! Some lures are just that good
@@ShroomFishing was waiting for my dad to finish pumping yabbies and was just having a flick off the sand bank with a double clutch and first cast bang hooked up a flatty
Haha, that's the perfect situation
Its what we call in the trade an " Internet lure". Flathead eat any thing and you don't have to use expensive Japanese lures to catch them. Sorry guys, but its true!
@@markrigg6623 True Mark. My mate caught one on a piece of orange peel once haha
shroom i find that when i'm using divers in shallow water the lure always digs into the mud and sand. is there a way around that?
They work well if they are touching the bottom periodically but not if they are trying to dig through the bottom of that makes sense. One good way to avoid this is to keep the rod tip up and slow the retrieve a taf
Top five jewfish lures / soft plastics ?
Thanks in advance
This sucks being in lockdown
Sure does but things will improve if he hang in there 💪
OK two things to note. Shroom got a hair cut s it must of been this week this was filmed and someone got some new gloves finally... Do you rate them lures? They certainly doing some damage
Haha very observant Michael! The gloves go hard, very impressed with them. Which lures?
@@ShroomFishing the power bait shrimp. Are they better then say the Zman or the gulp shrimps ect?
First
Yes you are Christopher! You beat the horde
@@ShroomFishing I guess that lockdown has it’s benefits
@CoolestMoth45 Haha true. Can have it alt tabbed 👀
Where are these fish native to???
Australia mate,
We've got some freaky looking fishies here Abandon Belief 😱
