Winga and Joseph Fernand in their home waterway Western Port doing what they do best - gummy sharks. Learn how to hunt, find, battle and catch gummies. Includes gummy theory and bait presentations.
FINALLY a fishing video that had the common sense of teaching you something about real fishing, not trying to sell some shit product that they know is useless. Thank you.
Great video guys and a really good example of just taking what you need and will eat. Looking forward to watching more of you fishing, hi from Cornwall in the UK.
Great video guys, good to see some useful videos, not like those ET full of ads on TV... As always i learnt more in this in 18 minutes than in a season of iFish/ET
Fantastic video, i fish in corio bay in Geelong and never caught anything other than a small flat head can i use flathead for gummies what rods are you using.
Should i be sitting at high tide coming or low tide going out? or either way just sitting there for several hours and hopefully that i will catch something? Cheers.
Great video. Have to respond to the comment about 20-30,000 tonnes of gummies being caught annually be trawlers. The actual figure from C'wealth trawlers would be around 100 tonnes. Victorian trawlers work inshore and are allowed 2 individual fish. C'wealth gillnetters catch around 2,000 tonnes. The stock is assessed by CSIRO as being in VERY good shape. Fisheries in Australia are assessed as a % of their pre-fishing biomass (before fishing commenced). Gummies are sitting at something like 60-80%. International best practice is 30-40% (ie. much worse).
very clear and instructive video, but strange that in the UK when fishing for gummy sharks (smooth-hounds) fish baits are next to useless. Crab, either peeler or hermits are infinitely better, although squid catches a few
ive been thinking about chasing here on the NSW north coast in the bay but dont know anything about them. i know the odd one has been hooked whilst chasing other stuff.what kind of bottom do i look for in order to chase gummies?
In the US, these things are everywhere and are considered pests. However, I don't mind them. The only time they're annoying is when you catch them when you're trying to target a different species. Other than that, they're pretty fun.
Interesting that what they call a snook there is very much like what we call a barracuda . Snook here in Florida are much different . Looks like a lot of fun .
We have Barracuda here and another species called Barracouta found in the same waters as our snook. The species name for our snook is a shortfinned sea pike.
I noticed you actually set the hook on the 1st shark. Do you need to do that with in-line circle hook? I'm confused. Anyway, great video and fun to watch. Do you have the scientific name for that species of Smoothound? Beautiful fish!
No need to strike the rod, sometimes a lift of the rod can help the hook find the jaw corner but by the time they got to the rod it was already spewing line out and the fish would have been hooked. Gummy Shark, scientific name is Mustelus Antarcticus
***** famous UK English style fish and chips is often this shark meat. green eyes, gummy shark, spiny dogfish, and whatever other name you want to give it.
This is why we are exporting our smooth hound sharks in South Africa, to supply the Aussies that have exhausted their natural resources of these sharks. Its disgusting!!
What the fuck do you think they done. They caught 2 fish to use as bait to catch some Gummy Sharks that will be tKen home and eaten. How many fish do you think those Gummy Shark would have eaten in their life time, 1? 5? 20? 10,000? 50,000? Maybe the fishermen done a favour to the other marine animals that got to live to be food for something else later. Circle of life,
