i would target places around the estaurys especially where there are drop offs and weed beds as this is where the flatties will sit. Try and work as much ground as possible as the flatties will normally sit in the one spot. some of my favourite flattie soft plastics include:
- zman grub, 2.5 - 3.5 inch, any colour but my favourite watermelon
- flash-j shad 3inch, colour kosan'ayu
- zman minnowz, colour smokey shad or bad shad
and they are very good eating.
