brendong Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) I stumbled upon the below on youtube and thought some you guys might like it....no wonder SX40 style lures when trolled over sands flats are so deadly on flathead...

Trapper Tom Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hey Poddy Top find there! Me also thinks it was being trolled a tad too quick. Greagt Post Cheers Trapper Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stippy Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 That's awesome! Picture looked to be in sped up? Can't wait to have a go on some sand flats on a warm day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan.widz Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 great vid, I didn't think that flathead would attack a lure trolled that fast as i've always thought of them a very docile fish... But i guess not. might have to give it a go next time i'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasty1 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 awsome link,running just a lttle to fast for the flatty to catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fran1mat Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 If you have a look at about the 20 sec mark there is about half a dozen flatties swimming along just off the pace of the lure. Amazing stuff. He has three other videos of the same thing, it just looks like they are using different lures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day's Fishin Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I don't know about it being trolled to fast as it obviously did the trick. We were drifting the flathead grounds of Rosa Gully last season and we were all commenting on how fast the drift was and complaining that no one put the sea anchor on board. Once we had the lines weighted properly to bounce the bottom there was non stop flathead coming over the side. My attitude to how fast a drift should be for flathead fishing changed from that day.

brendong Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 How good is it...I think they've actually removed the hooks just to capture the follows rather than hookups...easy fishing tactic with the kids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day's Fishin Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I was thinking along the same lines. It looked like they were using them as a sort of teaser. That one good hit near the end could not have missed if there were hooks on. Regards Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Great footage. Gives you some real incite as to what's going on underwater Cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Terrific footage - they have a great turn of speed with they need it! I've had 2 flatties charge at my squidgie fish sp simultaneously, fighting the other to get to it first! And they come up from the bottome FAST!! I am wondering if they don't have hooks on that lure, as it appeared to be NAILED a couple of times with out hooking up! They had no difficulty staying with the lure, plus attacking it now & then! Peronally, I think he was going a TAD fast tho! Great to see them in action like that! Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
