You want fishing? I’ll give you fishing!! A bit about me… after a serious concussion playing rugby that left me unable to play the sport I love, I quickly had to find another passion. Fishing fit that gap. Nowadays you will catch me developing my skills across multiple disciplines, from freshwater to salt and everything in between. I’m definitely not a master of any one kind of angling. From fly fishing trout, spearfishing kings, surface for cod, or ultra finesse from a kayak this channel has it all. Oh yeah, I also managed 2nd in the 2021 Australian Flathead championship, landed a 45lb Mulloway on 6lb leader, spearfished with a great white shark, and camped every weekend for a 6month period 🤣
Great video and great catch mate ! Very lucky to have trout in Australia one of the best freshwater species hands down definitely need to look after these fish for the future and improve stocking efforts in these areas. 👍🎣
I drove through Berry on my way to our family holiday house for over 20 years, and I always thought there'd be bass around there. Beautiful part of the world.
Hey mate definitely a brown trout, colours vary between the time of year, they’re generally a lot duller in colour after spawning. never personally seen any salmon or brook trout come out of Eucumbene, unlike Jindy they seem to be fairly popular there.
Hi I was in the tinny at the start of your video heading home. I remember seeing you guys. It was a cracker day plenty of salmon busting up the bait! I had a great time catching them too! Tight lines Howie
Thanks mate, I appreciate you letting me know. I have often had people tell me the difference but I just keep defaulting back to the lingo we use out bush. I’ll try to get it right in my next video. Thanks for following along
@@grimreaper6112 thanks mate. I have only ever got my jews on lures, but I have had a lot of people tell me that the fresher the bait the better with them. I really appreciate your advice and I might go out and target them when I can get out next
As a local fella of orange mate awesome video hands down you are so underrated I’ve only just come across your channel but mate well done tough fishing around here these days but a well put together video 🤙🏼
Thanks for a great comment mate, I truely appreciate the support. Agree with Orange fishing tough, particularly trout or natives. Hard to beat fishing some of those creeks though. Thanks again for the positive feedback, it means a lot
Nice bro, I'm from Brazil, lived about one year on the Gold Coast... beautiful country, nice people.. Ever had any problem with sharks while spear fishing? Surfed a lot there, always crapping myself about sharks
Nice mate, we are really lucky to live here. The Gold Coast would be a great place to be for 12months too. I have had a few ‘issues’ with sharks. A bull shark was my closest one, with it coming in a few times and eventually running off with my float line and all my fish. Most of the time when I see them though they are pretty chill and don’t really take that much notice of me. I reckon in the surf break would be the worst place to be for an attack but I think the odds of it happening are pretty low mate
Hahaha yeh the good old Mowies got me out of trouble in this one. I don’t do a lot of night fishing for squid from the Hobie to be honest. I used to do it a bit with my FeelFree Lure 10, with that setup I had lights aiming into the water with waterproof strip lighting. Is that something you do?
@waterassassin how is it you take the gluten free option when the one person who needs it isn't there 😂, 👍 on the rice tho mate. @ Adam i live with a smile on my face, I just can't enjoy pizza or ice cream haha.
Thanks for the comment and for tuning in from up in Canada 🙏 Two of my favourite RU-vidrs are from up your way (north west fishing, and camping with Steve).
That’s great info Jordan thanks for letting me know. I have never personally been able to get the wings right so I am clearly doing something wrong 🤣 I’ll try again next time I go out
Hahaha I thought I was being tracked by a shark or something Thanks again for another piece of knowledge Jordan. Do the leather jacket target the line?
Lived there for a few years before moving back to the South Coast, absolutely beautiful. Pitty it was in drought when I was there, so none of the public access spots had water 😢
Loving the channel , my Family live down that way, I mostly landbase Fish the Basin, after seeing your vids I think it's time to dust of the Kayak, and have a crack at the creeks on the other side of Basin. Hopefully find a nice Perch or Bass Hole, great channel mate well done.
Nice mate, thanks for the positive comments. You know probably better than anyone how hammered the basin gets over the holiday period, getting up into some of those smaller creeks in a kayak is one of my favourite sessions during those times. All the best getting out there mate
I was going to put some content of the carp in the vid, but chose not in the end. Will do a session on the corn up there at some stage in the near future and try to clear some out
Probably one of my favourite fishing styles mate, it’s hard to believe the power of some of these fish when they hit a surface lure in those tight snags. I nearly reckon the further you go south the harder they hit too
Wow, thanks mate! I have never seen a seal do that before. I was actually back out today trying to find it to see if it was alright. That solves that problem 🤙
Thanks for your comment Paul, we managed to land 4 fish in this video so you could call it a fishing video… but it largely turned out to be a camping video
