Well a month or two ago the River was full of prawn (well maybe not full - but more than you can find now). At that stage while diving you would see large numbers of the smaller flathead (sub 30cm) and around 2-3 of the 45-60cm flathead per dive.

The flatties seem to have
The flatties seem to have mostly moved off the flats about 3 weeks ago. I've gotten back into decent numbers by fishing deep water with metal blades. On the positive side the flats have been chock full of bream.
Just because I smile & nod does not mean I believe the crap coming out of your mouth.
