Concentrations of the flathead can be located in sandy areas between areas of reef and their location changes throughout the day and from day to day. Many types of fishing rig have been trailed and used to catch flathead but the most successful are the drifting rigs with the sinker at the bottom and the hooks on traces further up the line. These traces are made by the use of a loop of about 20 centimetres (8 inches) and a blood dropper knot. The loop stands out from the main line.

Wire traces have been marketed for this purpose however the flathead are shy to take a bait when attached to a wire trace.
