Flats fish species

12 flats species·Australia·Clear filter

The flats are sight-fishing in its purest form. Skinny water over sand and weed, the sun at your back, and a shape you have to spot before you can cast to it — a tailing flathead, a cruising bream, a golden trevally or a barramundi nosing the edge up north. Heart-stopping when the fish turns and eats, and humbling every time it does not.
