Yeah can’t remember what channel those videos were on, but used to watch them having my dinner - they were great, some interesting characters on there too 😂. Don’t get me wrong I like fly fishing, but it’s constant work, and these days I prefer to sit back on the beach waiting on the spool to light up. Keep up the videos mate 👍
@@MB-lj8um absolutely mate. I always wanted to feature other anglers and Bushies on the shows instead of me. I don’t think I ever had a bad comment on the shows hey. While it was good fun, it’s a shit industry mate. Full of two faced back standers and that’s why I dumped it. Anyway, it was a life experience I spose mate. Cheers hey. 😉👌🏻🍺
Hodgie if you get stuck jack @ porters flies and Justin from headwater fly shop mackay do top tier quality flies, gear and materials one of the best outfitters we have in qld! Good to see you giving that long wand the justice it deserves. 🤙🔥
Followed Hodgie back since the days he was on TV, he does really informative videos ( down to earth) . Used to love the videos he did on chasing Mulloway, needs to get back into that scene also.
@@MB-lj8um holy dolly mate. That’s a while ago now, and I do miss the Jewies down south. I appreciate the kind words mate, not many people remember the oldies stuff hey. 😉👌🏻
OMG its true you went to t he Dark side ..WHATS is that strange thing you are doing with the fluro green and the tippet ? But i stayed for the little girl near the end ....Another great Video fellas ..
@@viol8r007 ha ha ha. Yeah I know. It’s been a while since I picked up the wand, but might do a bit more of it hey. The young blokes going alright with it, and he’s got a nice outfit donated to him by a generous guy called Hans. He has got a few Barra’s on the wand but that one really would have been a good one for him,……..hense the skirt coming out. 😉👌🏻
@@MarkKendall-s9y mate it depends on your budget and everyone has one of them for sure. We sell a heap of the atomic Arrowz usually matched up with a new age ABU low profile, or a Shimano and sometimes a Daiwa depending on your preference. 😉👌🏻
@@hodgiethebarefootfisherman8393 Bahaha, it was good to see ya last night😁 And for future reference, I will save the vid watching for after school 🤣🤦🏻♀️
Cool ep and fish guys, I got to agree Fingermark are top eating, Jacks and Barra are so overrated eating wise, and I am not a fan of grunter eating wise either.
Good one mate! Downsizing to the 3inch is the go sometimes hey. Good meat that rising sun butcher i went there regularly when i lived down there . Cheers Hodgies 👍🎣
Good video mate. Some great jacks you got hey. I like the snip the face trick on the plastic to make him pop on the surface, very cool. I have the new model certate on me 4-10lb infinite and like you say, its an unreal outfit for the smaller presentations. I use it in the fresh for sootys and jps. Cheers blokes 👍🎣
Nothing better than using nice gear hey mate. The young fella came up with the popper face on the plastics about 3 years ago hey. I like the way he thinks……sometimes.😉
Yeah mate. It’s scary hey. Every now and then I’ll look back a few years at the footage from when we first started mucking around with the RU-vid stuff and see how much he’s grown. Cheers mate. 😉👌🏻
Did not think you would get them to bite with the water being so cold. Something to think about. Again thanks for taking the time to makes good clip. Cheers mate.
Gday mate. Thanks for the comment mate. Yeah I’ve dialled it back about 13 years ago as I had to focus on raining my son. Still doing little bits here and there though. Cheers mate. 😉👌🏻
Nah mate. I’ve fished over there for years until somebody did a video on it and now it’s copping a flogging hey. Not what it used to be sadly. Thanks for the suggestion though buddy. Cheers hey.😉👌🏻
fishing spots cant be owned, if you are fishing the spot he should move on to a different mark. bunnings is the worst for it. had a guy pull up and touched boats ffs out in the middle of the ocean, soo many morons. ps the shad looks great.
There have been many times over the years that I’ve rounded a corner and found someone fishing a spot that I thought no one knew, but I don’t even pull up. Just go to another area and start looking for something else. I still have spots that I ‘believe’ aren’t very well known, and they fish well due to less pressure. We just keep searching, often wasting half the day just looking for lesser known spots, they usually have fish on the,. 🤙🏻👌🏻
Gave up on the gopos due to the overheating issues. I use the DJI osmo action 3, and the 4 is meant to be pretty good too. 2k 50fps in the middle of summer runs all day no worries. Audio on my 3 is not amazing, very sensitive, and now i use a lapel mic for it and im playing trying to get the settings right.
Yeah right. Quite a few people are looking for other options these days. It has done a bit of work this thing, but we’ll see how it goes. The young fella could get another hand me down. 😉👌🏻 not sure why it’s started in the cooler weather either 🤦 could be my fat fingers too I spose. Not much else stands up to them, like thumb bars etc.😉👌🏻 I honestly don’t reckon I’d be able to commit to the lapel mic mate, as the camera is enough tech for me. Thanks heaps for the comment mate. 👌🏻
That’s a worry then mate. Stick to that boat for sure then, they’re there mate. Lots of other places as well obviously, but nice and convenient mate. Keep on fishing hey. 👌🏻😉
2:30 great lookin litte chromie ..... Noithing worng with chewin on some panko Gold spot , my family prefers over all other fish .. That female dolphin must know my Ex she never thought of it as a raw deal .... I learnt at 15 , flcikin for Barras in the Prossy River .. NEVER EVER tell any one ya spots. Another great video keep em comin Hodgie .. Fuckin Westerlies ... oops its a family channel my bad .
Ha ha ha. Don’t think anyone will begrudge a slip of the …….fingers.. 🤦😜yep, ex’s are ex’s for a reason hey. We’re not so secretive, but we ain’t stupid either hey. 😝👌🏻 cheers bro.🤙🏻
Trying out a Instanta360. It’s a bit of a modular setup where you can connect the screen to the camera if you want a screen on it. Very impressed with it so far. Only a couple of weeks old. Had it sitting on my dash in full sun and no shut down after 30 mins. Didn’t want to push that test lol. The one I got was the Insta360 one R twin.
Nah mate. He’s just doing it as a personal thing for himself. Every batch he’s doing are getting better and better hey. He’s getting better and better and enjoying the developmental procedure I reckon. 👌🏻👌🏻
@@hodgiethebarefootfisherman8393 yeah ok well nice one good on him. My GoPro 9 plays up like the way yours does likes to turn on off or it’ll turn on then freez up 🔨 🔨
@@hodgiethebarefootfisherman8393 true dat.. I’ve got 7 it been great I did recently purchase the 10 😬 if goes to crap well den change to dji there meant to be better. Pretty sure Britney brought a dji might have ya ask how it’s going
Hey hodgie, it was amazing to meet you at Coles the over the weekend, it made my dad over the moon happy, he legit couldn't stop talking about it haha. You're a legend mate, keep up the good work
Ha ha ha. Mate it makes me so happy to meet someone who really appreciates the stuff we do. It’s not complicated, but it works hey. You’re a champ mate, and it was great to meet you all. 😉👌🏻
@@_zee_09_ gday mate. Thanks so much for the kind words. It’s a time management problem for me these days mate. Between working at the fishing Warehouse, doing a couple of small magazines every month, fulfilling sponsor commitments, doing the odd show here and there and then trying to be a hubby and a Dad it’s sort of limits what I can do these days, but who knows hey. Thanks so much mate. 😉👌🏻
Gday Hodgie, My oceanic trailer has a big roller at the beginning of the slide centre channel. I might have to cut it off and make some sort of centering guide like yours.👍
