Swan flathead

[Brad Yates]

Anybody found any flatties yet this year?

[Hirdy]

I've seen their lies but haven't targeted them yet.

[Tony Ong]

Yep. Been getting a few as bycatch fishing for bream. Mostly further up river, and haven't tried the usual down river haunts yet. The last couple of weeks of warm weather should see them getting more active.

[Brad Yates]

Cheers guys, thought I saw a lie or two at the cove the other week, will try somewhere else, maybe point res next week.

Or between Stirling hwy bridge and the next marina up river nth freo.,nice big broken ground flats.

[Brad Yates]

Did the nth freo area last year pete, was dead. Might try pt roe, but I know they get along pt res and it’s that bit closer

Got a nice one on the Como flats near the Jetty about a month ago when it first peaked 30C.

The next week was a bit rainy and the snot weed went nuts didn't even see one after that.

Snotweed=no fish in my experience.
