Scotty and Jack Trek to a remote coast and fish in some amazing reef holes and tide pools Lazy Lures Discount code: Saltfix10 Jacks RU-vid Channel • Fishing Reef Holes on ...
Whenever you're fishing holes and ledges that are close below your feet like that, if possible try to approach them, and fish them with the sun anywhere but at your back....because when the sun is at your back, and you're casting your shadow right over, and down into the fishing zone, it alerts all the fish to your presence. If you noticed, in this video it seemed like you had better luck in the reef holes that you weren't projecting a shadowy image of your human form into as soon as you approached.
@@andyhemsted4570 Yeah, there's no arguing that. BuuuuuT they aren't trying to film a travel video, or have a modeling session....and I'm not trying to watch that type of content either. Here they're trying to make an entertaining fishing video, and ultimately their potential for success is exponentially greater if they film themselves putting the smack down on some fish...and they'll definitely film more of THAT, if they mind their shadows. Besides when it comes to those of us super nerds, who eat this content up as devotedly as a porn addict binges porn vids....our money shots are the; strikes, fights, and landings. THAT is what we want to see clearly, and often, in the videos. 💦💦💦 So while I can't speak for everyone watching, I can say with absolute certainty: That I personally don't care one iota, if these guy's faces are unidentifiable on the finished video, because they're washed out from over exposure...or totally obscured in the darkest of shadows. *Fine Print* Now if we talking about any of those stunning IG models, who are 11's on a 10 scale, and are part of that new aged wave of female fishing content creators....that aforementioned opinion totally changes, as my list of "money shots" definitely grows 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼🍑🥥👙👀👀👀
@@demetriusevans4139 Thanks man..hope it brings you great success!! And while this tip applies to all fishing situations where your visible, and the fish are wary...it is exponentially more important when fishing these tide pools. Because when the tide recedes, and these fish realize they're trapped there for hours, the bigger ones we are usually interested in catching immediately know one thing in their missions to survive.....they know that they temporarily no longer need to worry about threats from below, or really from anywhere IN their environment. They know that the all the threats they have to contend with, while they wait for the tide to return, will be coming from above the water....so they ALL be watching, and ANY shadows absolutely send them scurrying.
The second breaksea you got was a charlie court, first cod you got was a wirrah. That baldie eating that herring, you will probably never see that again in your life, and you got it on film.
I went to OZ when I was 21. Spent a year there. One of my fondest memories is when we camped in Cape trib and we was fishing for our food. I got hit in a reef hole it took about 20 metres of line and straight snapped me. I was using the line the reel came with, which was aboit 5mil thick haha
Great video Scott How beautiful is our coastline? I recently took my two sons island hopping inspired by your previous island videos And we had a cracking day of exploring and snorkeling We were even lucky enough to meet two seals Blessed to live here 👍
If anyone is curious of species: Fish #1: Leopard Wirrah (Acanthistius pardalotus) Fish #2: Breaksea Cod (Epinephelides armatus) Fish #3: Chinaman Rockcod (Epinephelus rivulatus) - not a breaksea Fish #4 & 5: Breaksea Cod again Fish #6: Tailor (Pomatomus saltatrix) Fish #7: Australian Herring / Tommy Ruff (Arripis georgianus)
I've done the same along the California coast..caught numerous Monkey Face Eels in holes like this..let it sit near the bottom near the rocks and WHAM!!
What he hooked into at the 13:08 mark was a bluefish. In aussie terms i'll say they're much more fun when they're closer to a meter in length and over 5 kilos.
Speaking of Aussie terms, they call them a Tailor ... instead of a Bluefish. Which you possibly already knew, but I know a lot of other people from lands that're NOT Downunder.
Do you plug chukers ever do any flyfishing down there? I wouldn't mind taking a 9' or 10' fly rod to those tide pools and draw a nice big tinseled streamer though those beautiful holes Thanks for the tour
Very cool. The breaksea make me think of northwest fishing. Maybe try a small/mid size popper with a big bloop and long pause close to those edges. Breaksea (or baldie!) on a popper imagine that.
Pay attention to where your shadow is, if it's over the water you're likely not gonna get a lot of bites because the fish see something lurking over them. Use the sun's position to your advantage
Thats a black spotted grouper 🤙🏼 Paralabrax maculato is the Scientific name 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I sometimes dont like the taste of black groupers but when theyre you g and small they might not have a worm infestation since these fish like to lay on the Ground in certain current areas 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Hope i added useful information 😂
