In this episode we're switching gears and heading inshore to fish a river for flathead, brim, whiting, trevally and cobia. The session starts off great when Mike hooks a trophy flathead on his second cast. Then we head back to camp to cook it up with one of Marty's special recipes.
COMMENT BELOW and tell me your favorite way to cook fish! Think you'd try the Doritos method?

@@YakFishField actually not an Eastern Brown Snake it is a small nocturnal species called a Golden-Crowned snake. They are a reasonably common species around the area u are. They are all bluff, striking and hissing with their mouth shout is their way of telling u to go away as they are mildly venomous not enough to send u to hospital. Mis-interpreting our native species results in the death of loads of native fauna. Tight lines keep the work up.
