What Type Of Flattie

[hooklineandsinker]

i caught this yesterday while fishing balmain i called it for a dusky due to it having a rounded nose area not flat like im used to seeing

its was just undersize for a dusky so i let it go but legal if it was a sand flattie after looking online im not so sure

The way to tell normally has something to do with spots on the tail.. Maybe someone has photos ?

TBH i dont like Sand Flathead being 33cm while Dusky has to be 36cm i think ALL flathead should be 36cm to be legal IMO would save alot of cusfusion and a 33cm Flathead isnt very big neither

G'day , that is a Dusky Flathead, you will know a sand flattie from the lighter colour and slighty smaller head.
