Few Flatties today

[bowl]

The lure is a Sebille Rattsler 85mm VLL goes to 4m they love them, and the pinkies also hit them and I've also gotten small red mullet on it

So flathead come off bottom to chase sebille.
Is troll speed slower then normal?
I generally drift n use plastics for flathead.

don't know what jeff does but i just troll at 2-3 km/h with a stack of line out to get the HB deep, I like to have it hitting the bottom every paddle stroke this sort of makes the HB hit the bottom then rise up a little then hit the bottom again (or at least thats the idea) kind of like slow rolling a hb and putting a little jerk in every second or two to get it to hit the bottom.

Cheers Alex

Yep, I've even got them in 7m, probably going 2-3km (GPS speed)an hour using an electric and the lure may not be going as deep as stated

top catch mate. nothing like a feed of flatties.

Hi Alex, just saw your reply, I use the electric motors iPilot and try along the 5m line, there's usually waves side on so I guess that helps get the lure a bit of action, it's a boring way to do it but I'm just after a feed.
Cheers

Ive caught flatties on xraps while trying for snapper. Havent done a great deal of it, and i feel like bait is probably a better option, but im gonna give it more of a crack this coming season
