Flathead wise I've done quite a bit of damage on the Gold and Black squidgie Fish 3-4"
Pinkies seem to return to the Nuc Chicken
and had a bit of recent joy on the Flicker Shad (orange) Berkley FSH7M-OS 3" dives to 3.5-4m ($5.00) (if you have 150ft of line out.) :wtf:
A 1/8 -1/6 jig head on the placcy will get down and stir up a bit of the sand for the flatties (in fairly shallow 3-4M water)
Recently read an article saying that the Flathead will always face the current and await the food source to drain off the flats,
Good luck
Great time for flathead
Tony

Check the MADHOUSE then a post by me called 2nd cobra

There's a pic of a pinky hooked up to a berkley gulp on it

I had been using a medium to large pink gulp with two long skinny tail sections with alot of success on good flathead.
I had used a very similar one in pink aswell but had a much smaller tail on it that would get bites and some mild takes at the side of my yak and many would follow it in bit the hits were ginger and gentle. The longer tail was getting hard strong committed hits resulting in perfect hook ups everytime. Big flatties seldomly move far or fast for smaller soft baits. Big softy gets big flathead.

In the pic you can see both gulps. I was in 3 to 5 meters of water and was getting pinkys smashing my tail every couple of seconds while drifting but they weren't close enough to the hook so I added the pink green one a meter up on the leader that was alot smaller and it was hooking them. It was just looped on and just slid down after he smashed it.

I'll get him again when he gets his head hump.
