  • Pretty much the perfect fishing Poddy

    Satisfying blend of fishy banter, tales of glory and despair, biology and bizarrely- international rally driving - is anchored by Guru level technical fishing content, inshore , offshore game, top water , surf , estuary, or impoundment - it’s all covered . Highly recommend. 100% pure fishing 😂

GUESTY & MARK PHILLIPS TALKING FLATHEAD ON SOFT PLASTICS & LIVE BAIT
Q: What makes flathead respond differently to soft plastics versus live baits on a given day?
The fish's mood and the current and structure in the area influence whether they commit to a soft plastic or bite a live bait; in general, bigger fish often respond to a combination of profile, scent, and sit-and-wait ambush behavior, with live baits sometimes drawing the more cautious feeders while plastics can provoke reaction bites when presented correctly.
