Flathead drifts

[adkel53]

Just wondering if anyone is willing to give me a bit of a heads up on drifting for lizards close in outside of Botany Bay and/or Port Hacking. I'm hoping to give it a try over the winter months. I'll need to stay within about 2 km of the shoreline. Any suggestions as to where to start (roughly), water depth, bait, rigs etc will be much appreciated.

yeah mate i don't mind sharing information about spots, been getting them 1-2 k's out from Botany Bay in 35-50m depth. Plenty flathead out there, keep heading north from the bay in that depth until you find them, lots of small ones at times but changes in the tide brings on the better fish. Use a paternoster rig in 40lb fluoro, 4/0 baitkeeper hooks and enough lead to hold bottom. Most baits work well, pilly tails, squid, fish strips and prawns the go.
