Nice fish Scotty. Bit more movement in the boat than usual 😂 Did you get the Anti-reverse sorted? I thought mine had gone on a rarenium, but when i pulled it apart to clean it, discoved that I hadn't put it back together quite right the time before so it would let go under sudden pressure.
I pulled off the side plate and greased inside plus used a bit of oil on the main shaft bearing which it think is the anti reverse saw online that too much oil can make them stick and not work , seems fine now
Hahaha love it mate, Possibly a little bronzy? Tail chafing up the leader. Would explain big powerful runs and headshakes. If it was a ray it was a bloody mega one hahahaha
Yeah stoked he is showing a bit more interest. Ok for an arvo session not to thrilled on the pre dawn wake ups Filmed a mint episode with him that will be up soon , scored a heap of good fish
G’day mate ! Iv been watching you for I don’t know how long now and every time I hear your anchor deployed to start fishing I cringe ! The anchor chain rattling over the roller is so dam noisy you wonder why it takes so long for you to get your first bite! I was the same until my friend put me onto the anchor sock ! It doesn’t just stop 99% of chain noises but it protects your boat from being scratched by the chain! I love your channel and I only wish to help out! Keep them coming I’ll be watching 👍🇦🇺🍻
My mate takes me fishing on his boat, and I am not allowed to speak and he will blow his stack if the lead drops onto the bait board too hard . He swears by full silence / stealth. Always seem to catch more fish on his boat and the hits are more aggressive...
Yes I had a anchor sock on when I first got the winch on. it lasted about 3 months before it got ripped up and started to foul the winch up so I had to cut it off. But you are right its pretty noisy without it.
I haven’t used swivels since I started using braid years ago plastic on a jig head shouldn’t spin anyway. Problem was with tiger eel I took the spool off and lost one of the shims without realising it. So line was piling up on one end of the spool . Found it on the floor, put it back in and it’s all fixed
I had a great hookup on a mullet head once land based by it spat it by the time I got to the rod. Some guys swear by fish heads and I don't disagree but the hookup conversion rate is the part Im not so sure about
Great vid Scotty I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments regarding breeding size fish.Its got me buggered how you don’t have a bigger following cheers.
@Saltfix yea should be plenty around here in NZ aswell just need a good window to get out. Convince Jack to come home for a fishing mission soon hahaha
Your putting too much meat in the gape, not allowing the hook to do its job and roll around the fishes mouth unobstructed to catch the barb. Either smaller bait, pin the bait differently or larger hook.
