Love the video mate. Gained a follower. How does stingray creek itself fish? Looks like pristine flathead territory. The lake looks massive, and hard to pinpoint where to target fish in the lake in such a vast bit of water.
Just wanted to say thanks very much for the videos. I live in Kendall and just bought another boat a month or so ago and thanks to your tips finally caught a nice feed of flatties today. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Good luck with the new boat. Interesting to hear you got a good feed of flatties. My mates are still little to no luck. Have not had my boat in for a while now.
@@fishingwiththefossil.6199 Fourth outing. Other three no luck. First proper outing with some of the lures you recommended however. They’re a lot more fun than feeding pickers with bait hey. 😊
Hey! It's been a while since you've uploaded a video, hope you're doing well. We love watching your videos and hope that we'll see you out on the waters soon 😊
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you Peter. I have only had the boat in once during that time. A few things have interfered with my getting out, the main one being that fishing in the river and lake is not what it used to be. Even the pros are complaining. Will most probably wait until the water warms up a bit and see it things improve. Thanks for your positive feedback.
Love your videos. We have stayed a few times at a house up at Camden Heads, and it is a lovely area. Only done shore fishing (seen and caught nice bream and flathead at the boatramp at the entrance to the lagoon). Also bought nice mullet at the fish and chip shop! Just bought a Stacer 429 Seamaster - hope to bring it up!
Hi. Love watching your videos of our local area. You have taught me a few good tricks and places to try. I wonder if it is possible to contact you directly to have a chat about a piece of gear you use. What is best way to contact you? Regards. Steve.
Hi Ellen. I have the 55lb Terrova connected to a dedicated deep cycle 140Ah Giant Power battery from Aussie Battery. Over the last six months a problem has developed but i have not had time to investigate. After running for less than two hours the motor does not want to both steer and travel - it is one or the other. Anchoring is OK. However , from time to time the spot lock switches off and I have to invoke it again. In short, I don't know if the battery is failing, or the MinnKota controller is the problem. Aussie Battery claims the battery is designed for 12 years. Though this means nothing with battery technology. When both were new I was running almost continuously for 5 -6 hours. Sorry, not a lot of help.
Thanks for the inquiry Aaron. All is well except for the fishing. Since the last fishing post I have put the boat in a couple of times with no success. With all the rain we are having here the amount of fresh water and mud is really messing things up. Believe the odd fish is being caught in the estuaries but nothing much. Was hoping to put the boat in last Wednesday, though the day was fine we had just finished four days of rain with plenty of mud. Can only hope.
@@fishingwiththefossil.6199 Hopefully this weather event will pass and the fishing will improve. I do see the pro's heading into Queens on a regular basis that cant be helping things. I've recently move to the area and found you vids very informative thanks and keep up the good work.
Hi Hayden. All is well, thanks for enquiring. Have had the boat out four times in the last 8 - 10 weeks. Results not worth producing a video. I follow a few other fishos up and down the coast from here and none have produced a video in that time. I can only assume that it is the amount of fresh and mud in our rivers that are causing this. Will continuing trying, though the forecast for summer is not promising.
Been shocking. Have had a couple of outings but not worth a video. Recent rain has dirty water again. Hoping to get out next week - weather permitting.
Thanks for your efforts Foss. Trout fishing has had the similar limits for a long time now. 10 trout per day / per Angler with a possession limit of 20, not sue if that has changed inline with the salt water limits. These ridiculous rules are made by people who don't fish & enforced by people who can't fish. They're all very happy to accept our money though, aren't they?
Some areas are likely to benefit from this regulation change. However in places like the Camden Haven where the professionals net the buggery out of the two lakes I can't see it making much difference.
Thanks so much for sharing. I bought exactly the same Arrowz rod when Anaconda had a sale recently and I’m looking forward to chasing a few flathead with it, either with plastics or trolling with a little Pontoon Crackjack hardbody. It’s a shame they can’t standardise slot limits. In Queensland the minimum for dusky flathead is 40cm with a maximum of 75cm.
Thanks Bob, it was good to see your set up. Can't believe the restrictive 5 flathead regulations, and to have the five in the freezer is very Orwellian. Hope this doesn't come South, on Port Phillip bay some days you would have your limit in a half hour.
As the saying goes Bryce, it is what it is. The way the Camden Haven has been fishing over the last few years the new limit will not be a problem. So long as we can keep catching a feed.
Thanks for the video. A beautiful day on the water and lots of bites with a few good ones thrown in. Your boat’s set up impressively for that sort of fishing. What’s the rod and reel combination you’re using?
