My wife and I went up to Bribie today and I was determined to finally catch my first flathead on plastics.

After last weekends failed attempts I was almost ready to give up but a few questions in Saltwater Chat and a mountain of good advice has paid off! ;D;D;D

It was only 42cm (and in the process I drowned my NEW digital camera... :'( ) but I reckon it was worth it.

We were fishing off the beach at Pumicestone Passage and I was using Nuclear Chicken Gulps with a 1/4 jighead (weighed down with an extra sinker because I didn't get a chance to go and get any heavier jigheads).


Thanks to all that gave their advice freely... it was a terrific help!

(Now I'm out to chase another to prove it wasn't just blind luck!)


Not a great pic but it is a pic... (wasn't going to post it because it reminds me of my soaking wet newbie!)

Congrats, perfect size for a plate. My first flattie on SP's was about 1/4 that size!!!

Beware the addiction.
