I very much doubt any of those species will be found in the Weiti River. Snapper, and parore plus rays, sharks, mackerel and mullet are more realistic targets for you there.

It's a shame we don't have a more interesting estuarine fishery. I would love to have a go at flathead. That said, I think there is more going on in our estuaries with the usual suspects than we think. Snapper, kahawai, kingfish etc.

Little trout hooks and sweetcorn is the story

Mate Denimviper who used to frequent here seems to have catching them on softbaits sorted. I’m sure he’d be happy to share.

Watched a bloke who drove from West Yorkshire to Whitby reel in a Dap ( Small flounder)  last week, he threw it back complaining they taste terrible ?  Three hook  sliding dropper rig with a sand grapnel sinker from what I could make out and sardine for bait. Chatted briefly to him and he was chasing whiting, said he'd never take a flounder home as his wife didnt like them???  Strange, odd people those English!
