I'm pretty sure I had one just like this one, but had a different name on it.
On ACA australian Flathead $53 a Kg,,, $38 for Flattie fillets, They are called BAY RATS, but boy are they under rated
everytime i go out on the bay i go for flatties infact i prefur them better to snapper (dont correct me because ive tried both lol) absolutly love my flatties, i got to swan bay for massive lizards
The bigger they are, the shallower the water needs to be, that's what I've found any way.
All my big ones have been in the shallows, maybe metre and a half.
Don't get me wrong there are good specimens out deeper and have caught them. Attachment 25531
This one I got in about 2 metres of water near Kirks point.
Love the flatties, both to catch and eat.
Price was right as MOF was here didn't believe myself at first
Think the real big flatties are Dusky correct me if wrong, I've mainly caught Tiger
but along time ago now. Mallacoota is Vic Hot spot I think.
Can't beat a feed of flattie fillets thats for sure.
Best flattie bait is flattie cubes or it was years ago
I use pilchard cubes for bait and ground pilchards with anchovies for berley
cheers stevo.
