Hey shroom, it’s me again, I showed my friends your channel and now it’s spreading around me school so I hope they share your channel so it goes viral and your channel blows up
Hi Shroom, really great video. May I ask where you catch southern herring this time of the year and what techniques you use. I seem to be able to catch them in the Georges River on sabiki only between January and May, then they tend to taper off during June to December. Thanks.
Nice one Mr Shroomy! That muddy was a surprise must have been a fair way up the Parra? BTW I was surprised with a 101cm Jew on 12lb beach gear the other week 👌 thought I was Shroomy for a sec 😂
Thanks Peter! That's a top catch and one I wish to achieve one day! Must have been all the constant rains, I've not caught a muddy before and to see one like that was interesting 😎
I just watched the video again. Dunno how I missed it. You bought a box of the imported calamari. It's a Gunna bait. One of the best value baits I've used. I buy a block, break it up into smaller amounts, bag 4-5 in each bag. Done, only take what you need.
Yep, I need to do a dedicated video on it. It's cheap and catches jewfish so it's viable alternative when squid are hard to come by or at lesat offer a cheaper alternative. That's a good idea
Hey shroom, I think I can help out with the live bait situation, Notice how you aerator bulb is at the bottom of the tank and you have no bubbles, the pumps in those stock shitty aerators can't overcome the water pressure. They sound like they are working but in reality they are doing nothing, if you lift that bulb up so it's 10-15cm from the surface all of a sudden it will start to pump air and your baits won't die. I keep yakkas alive for 2/3 days at a time in a 20L painters bucket for beach jewfish sessions, change the water once per day (usually when I'm restocking on more yakka). If you can keep your water oxygenated they last a long time. I lost a fair few livies to shit pumps over time, once I figured out the weak pumps I stopped losing them at all. The other thing that helps is making sure your battery is fresh, the pump stops working effectively long before the battery is dead. Sometimes it feels like I single handedly keep Eveready D cells in production. Alternatively you can fork out for the rapala float pump that bobs around in the tank and works that way. I guarantee you that's the problem.
Thanks for the detailed response MYeahman, much appreciated. I'll investigate this further on the next session because it will matter at some stage when I need the livies to be actually live. I'll check what happens when I lift the bulb up and see if it starts pumping and/or change the battery
Just home from work and kicking back with another fun filled Shroom vid. What set up would you recommend for pitching poppers at Kings, reasonably high end Shimano preferably. Thank you.
Thanks Alan, looks like another day for a bit of kicking back. Have a look at the Ocea Plugger, it might be what you're looking for. For the reel, I'd still go a Saragosa SW but if you want something more premium, then the Twinpower SW
I've been taught to cut the bottom (silver strip) from the yakka fillet when dead baiting for better results. Target fish are only after the tasty top green section of the fillet. Don't know if that's a tip or if everyone knows.
I might give that a try John. Usually I strip then as you said and go with the top half first and then the bottom. Seems to hook up easier than a wide slab
your aerator isnt working, did you by chance snip the tubing to make it shorter ? i found it only works if you keep the tube the length it is when you first buy it
Keep up the great content bud :). If any of your livebaits die (or close enough to it), you need to remove them from your tank asap otherwise the rest will follow suit very soon. Swapping out half the water every half hour will also help make them last a LOT longer as well
Good advice Daleyboy. I usually just keep changing water at first signs of weak swimming fish. That night, it just seemed like everyone was content using dead baits. I think after the rains it had something to do with it as well
@@ShroomFishing awesome stuff, I think I might have suggested it before, and it can be done land based, go to Nepean freshwater and catch herring and mullet there, using earthworms as bait. I'm finding the freshwater mullet and herring works well in the salt,as bait, especially Parra river. Plus it's another video you could do .👍
Love your content bro! You know way more than me but you might want to try a couple less in the livie bucket, when there's too many there's not enough oxygen for them
Thanks Mohamed, how cloudy was that water? I reckon the rain did something it should have been clear. Yeah a few less fish in the bucket would have made a big difference
keeping herring alive is big pain, but water changes is the way to go, theres no way around it without water changes every hour or so. Even with a filter they die. ive tried...
SHROOM m8 u need to change the water every now and then when u get the chance or they will die all the time just a tip try it out will go a long way next time :D
I found with big cut baits like that it is better to cut them in rings/chunks in stead of fillets I don’t know why but I have a better catch rate and don’t get pestered by crabs and lice as much
Shroom said "my right hand is getting tired" when holding the mud crab in his left hand, goes to show he has flipped the video show right as left and left as right all in the hopes that people don't find his fishing spots 🤣🤣🤣
