Flathead on Damiki Vaults

Flathead on Damiki Vaults

Hey all, ive just started fishing the swan for bream and Flathead with lures, mainly chasing bream on the flats. This 53cm flattie fell to a Damiki Vault which ive found out flatties love them, was wondering if that is a good personal best or not? Also is it common to get whiting on metal vibes? (Sorry about the tail where it is, wasnt to leave the length out, fish moved at last minute and was a long fight on 2lb braid wanted to get her back into her world as soon as possible.)

Cheers

Matt

great fish mate. havent tried the vaults yet but they seem to work pretty well :). ive had a bit of luck catching decent 25cm+ whiting using the berkley saltwater worm thingos red in colour i think. snell a couple of hooks in the head and tail and it shud be good to go :). good luck, great catch again.

shanedm, yeh the vaults are producing the goods for me, i found the 7g the best, you can really get it out there into the wind, yeh the whiting was a shock catch hey, it pulled like a freight train aswell, was stoked to put that capture into my book. yeh ill have a go at the berkley worm thingo as u say and see how i do. cheers

 Faulkner Family, thanks for the comments
