Euro Fishing Platey Digger Lake

I need help catching this fish I don't know what to do I've been after this fish for 3 days and haven't even seen it once I've tried everything and nothing is working thanks

 

I am the same, Platey is last on my Digger List!

 

Can't remember what I caught him on, it was tiger nut, activ 8 or high vis pop up

 

I keep getting trolled because the half Lin looks like him and I keep thinking I've caught it and then I see the name

 

Just checked my setup I used 18mm sink dumbell on size 6 Korda KD Silt, 15lbs green braid, 12ft Sonik S4 and Tournos 10000 reel. Im creating a highlight on Twitch of when and where I caught it as I had him while I was Live Streaming, I'll post the link when its sorted.

 

Uploaded the clip to my YouTube channel of me catching Platey guys so hopefully it will help.

Cheers I now know where to cast and what rig and bait to use very helpful hopefully il get him soon

 

No worries, let me know if it helps. Tight Lines pal.

 

Fish don't just stay in one spot dude, just move about...I get a lot of fish just stalking the lakes.

 

True Benn, I've had the same Boss Fish in different areas, this is more to show the conditions and with what I used. Although I helped Lee Lock catch Little Dipper with the same setup I used and he caught it in the exact spot I did so go figure.

 

Just managed to bag Platey, same swim as Crossy above, but caught from the left hand side lily pads, 18 yards out in 3.8ft of water......IQ Rig size 4 hook, 20mm Tiger. I'm using Sonik SK4XTR, Sonia Tourney 10K and 25 lb Supernatural......

And did I get a pic, I hear you cry???? No, like a tit I had another run and just pressed the release button! Arse

Only Half Lin to go now on Digger.....

 

Thanks for the tips guys I'm gonna try and get him today and then that's it for digger move onto the French lake then
