Tweed River Flatties 2

[Matthias]

I went to the same spot last night and had a ball. All up I got 12 flatties with 9 of them being over legal. I didn't get any over 50cm though. Kept 3 for dinner tomorrow as I'm goin round to see my folks. Me mum loves fresh flattie.

I was using 3" atomic lumo shads and the squidgy fish you can see in the photo.

nice spot you got there, an even better feed. how late at night have you been picking them up? i've never tried using plastics at night

Similar question to John as I have had little success with sp's at night.

Are you fishing in a well lit area (ie. nearby street light, etc)?

And what sort of depth are you working in?

I'm keen to get a few land-based spots - all my fishing is from a boat and there isn't always time to get it out.

Thanks

nice flatties mate.
where abouts do you fish?

[Matthias]

Sorry bout the late reply guys. Well basically flatties hang round the bait schools at night and the bait hangs around well lit areas (bridge lights are ideal). You don't need really deep water but just cast up current and bounch you plastic along the bottom. If you see herring schooled up throw a cast up from them and work it through. Best times are within 2 hours of the runout and lots of water movement is good.

Cheers
