Hi Jodie...Welcome to ausfish....must be the female touch ay catching all those lizards........do you troll for the flatties or just cast and retrieve from a boat?
I've tried soft plastics a few times without great success but will have another shot at the lizards now the spring time is fast aproaching.......Warm water in the shallows...mmmmm those flatties just love to ambush the baitfish as they come off the shallow banks on a falling tide.
Cheers Brent :D

just flicking off the bank your right low tide is the best they seem to like dirty water in kawana

Hi jodie ,
Welcome to ausfish.I been using grey ghost colour in manns stretch 10 plus also for trolling at noosa.With great results.Species include mangrove jack , flathead , tailor , rock cod.I see your fishing in the right spot,from the background in your noosa photo.Theres been plenty of prawns and bait fish in that area.Just brought a new spin stick outfit.Can you tell me what brand of shad are you using !!
Thanks steve :)

G'Day Jodie,I would venture to say you have caught more fish than half the "experts" amongst this motley ausfish group already;D ;D ;D,for what it is worth(when I get "fair dinkum" & not using fly :-X,)I use one type of soft plastic & that is the 3inch grub & I only use two colours,white (in good water)& black (in dirty water),this winter the white "grub" has been braining them,tho' it will be interesting to see now as the warmer weather arrives if they will change colour choices,I suspect they may,I tend to stay with what works for me rather than buy up half the colour schemes/brands now on display in most tackle shops at least it stops me changing plastics after only 3/4 casts without a hookup ::)Cheers Touchy><> ><> ><>.

good to see someone else from the sunshine coast

G'day Jodie, sounds like your getting into some great fish on plastics, always good to see, the flathead are knockovers when it comes to 2" and 3" shads, especially in the Mooloolaba and Maroochy Rivers... dont know about Noosa, dont fish it much, a real winner.. which i have found is better then the grey ghosts are the real shad coloured shads.. especially in the murky water, the cleaner the water then the grey ghosts start working better, another good plastic to try are the Berkley Power Minnows, i used some yesterday for the first time and they really wack out an attractive wiggle that would knock flathead over as soon as they saw it, during the colder days ive been using Ecogear Pad Tues up the creeks in Maroochy River and the gold coloured "Yellow Shrimp" has been working extremely well on anything that swims by and see's it... anyways.. good luck.. and keep up the good work!
