How to fish the Estuary’s (catch & clean) 

Happy Sunday legends! Hope your all getting stuck into a few fish 🍻🍻 Lets settle the debate once and for all, what do you call them? Yabbies or Nippers?

Plucking worms out of the sand is an art if you ask me.

this guys such a legend

Back to basics mate, love it !!! nothing better than fishing with the man that taught you , I can`t do that as the old man passed away over 10 years ago but I`ve passed on that knowledge to my 3 and I love watching them put that into practice. I also love that sometimes I don`t have to drive the car or the boat..... time for Dad to have a beer !!!!

Where all them tinny owners gone ? Great video

Sammy supplying the videos during the rough times 🤙🏽🍻🇦🇺 Legend mate!

Catch of the day, Drone flying fish, new species stay airborne for what seem like a lifetime, four sharp teeth, great work on the catch....

difference between a river and a estuary?

Only bad part about this vid is 34:12 . Keep up the good stuff Sammy 🤟

Nice to see you out with Dad! I still remember the times I went with my Dad. He's been gone along time now, but the memories never die. You won't have him forever so spend as much time as you can. Great video! Kevin

Always fish with fresh Yabbies with my Dad in the Broadwater! Good fun on light gear no matter how big or small they are :D

you make catching worms so easy haha might have to spend the whole day trying to catch the bait XD wat u call yabbies we call them ghost shrimps here in nz.

What you called a trailer looked like what we call a bluefish up here in Rhode island USA..... If it's got a row of razor sharp teeth that you can't see until you pull it's lip down that can literally cut a live 12 to 16 inch manhaydan in half with a single hit then I'm sure it's the same fish..... When they get grown out here (24" and up) all a bluefish is, is mussel, teeth and attitude and will take one of your fingers off as quick and clean as any bait.... And I've seen them chase a school of Poggie (manhaydan) right up out of the water onto dry land trying to get away from a school in a feeding frenzy, to where I was able to pick up 2 5gal buckets full for live bait and chunk bait fishing and chumming with my bear hands for stripped bass fishing. When they go after a school of Poggie the top of the water just boils with the action. And if you can throw your bait into the middle of a boil and get it to sink fast enough to the bottom without getting slammed by a bluefish that's where the monster stripper's are sitting feeding on the chunks of Poggie pieces dropping down from the maylay up above and you have a chance to get a 40 or 50 pounder cow stripped bass because that's where they like to sit and wait.....

Good clean basics fishing , live worms and yabbies! Good Feed! Cheers Mate and Hi to your Dad ! Hope he enjoyed the Trip! I do that basics sometimes to enjoy a good feed of Whiting and bream though they're smaller sized here ! Tip Of Borneo , Sabah, East Malaysia!

You should put a red bead in between the hook and sink and check out one of my vids I caught 22 whiting smallest being 38cm and biggest being 45cm average size around 41cm.

Relatable fishing Sammy! Bread n butter fishing at its best. Thanks for the vid, nice work. 👌 👌 👌

OHHH NO Sammy. You DARED TO KILL one fish to eat it. There are 11 thumbs down and it would all be about keeping ONE FISH for a feed. The wallies will be all over you saying how dare you kill a fish to eat - OH NO!!! Even though a trawler and the local fish mongers have literally tons of dead fish and crustaceans for sale, you should not, not, not, not not have kept that ONE LEGAL. What happens when you eat fish and chips for a Family Gathering??????? (its getting stupid how fishing is trending). I'm getting totally sick of these self ridiculous buggers. Its all crap!!

Nippers here in Sydney...whitings taste so much better than the bream, good session.

went out the other day fishing in the kayak with worms and yabees and had a great cople hours and went home with a nice 2.2kg 50cm grassie sweatlip. was very nice for tea that night

Hey mate good work love your vids i live in brisbane and hope to see you in a fishing competition

Great work nothing like fresh live bait ! The beach worms are a must . I use to. use. Blood worms and they were Perfect but now it’s those beach worms there the best catch them on the low tide. Keep up the good Fight .!! .

I love soaking a bait. All I can say is look at the chewing qualities of what you caught. Except the drone, good catch tho. 😂

The drone was definitely the catch of the day. I was getting worried watching you chase it. Could only imagine what you were thinking lol 👍 Nice video

I live close to Redcliffe are there any beaches nearby I can give worming a crack? Love the content Sammy 🤙🏼

Good timing, I just started this kind of fishing yabbies and fresh live worms are dynamite bait it's amazing! Got myself a 37cm whiting pretty stoked with that!

Deffinetly have much better luck with bait than plastics myseld

Some nice elbow slappers there. Love the bait fishing.

Awesome video you legend, your actually the one who made me go out and buy a cast net to do some prawning, keep it up 🍻

Hey sammy love your vids can you pls respond to me It would mean heaps

What boat are you boys useing? Cracking session mate

That was a good fun day together. Loved it. Couldn’t wait to see the dropping drone drama.

Catching that drone was insane!! I've lost 5 while filming professionally... Yes 5

How about telling the crew where u are fishing with your vids

Shouldn't drone go back to home when signal lost?

You mind sharing the location mate wanna go with my pops

In the states we call Yabbys Ghost Shrimp.

👍

What a good technique to harvest sand worm.

Im suprised you didnt chuck the net aswell and get some herring or poddy mullets great bait very rewarding for the bigger fish

Great video Sammy your younger brother looks like he had a good day.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Great vid loved the back to basics.

Where are you fishing

Nice 'catch'😁

Thought u learnt ur lesson last time with no shoes sammy😂😂😂😂😂😂

Soooooo many whiting where are you fishing

I think Moreton Bay is fished out.

What size long hook was it?

Noice soize fish there Sammy! And it's yabbies all the way legend, nippers belong down the surf club...👍✌

What beach were the worms grabbed from mate?

What was that tool your dad used to hold the rays tail?

Just confirms why I wish I lived far north of Victoria, keep fishing with your dad (phantom) those memories are forever. My mouth is watering surely you could have added a squid!!!

How do you stop leader wrapping around main line when using swivel and sinker?

Nice vid man, spot looks awesome

I court a mitre long flathead in a kayak on a estuary one time fed my camp 2 nights

Where do you go to hunt sandworms? I can't seem to find any (looking in the north side of Brissie)

Great vid as always Sammy. Did the drone controller run out of juice or did it die? I've had a few issues with my DJI drone, so I've been too chicken to take it over water because of what you went through lol.

Hey Sammy, just a tip with your failsafe setup on the Mavic - when flying off a boat or any moving platform like that, set your signal loss failsafe behaviour to 'hover' instead of return home. That way if you have something happen and RC discconects it won't fly home through trees etc if you are on a river with bends or have moved a long way from your launch position. Love your work mate, if you come back to Vic in future and want a pro drone/camera op on your shoot I'd love to tag along on a fish mish ;)

Hey Awesome Estuary Catch and Cook video Sammy !! Keep up the amazing work Sammy !! Thanks for the hard work and dedication you put into making these awesome videos and content for to watch over the past few weeks Sammy I really appreciate it Sammy !! I can’t wait for the next video Sammy !! Cheers William !!

Nice work sammy!! Super keen for more of your gear(the misso keeps taking my grey hat) taking my girls fishing tomorrow they are super keen after watching your vid this morning

Nice one mate!! Taking it back, hanging out with the old boy 👍👍🍺

Your so lucky with the drone Sammy lol, and great day out with dad, for mine fish swallowing hooks down deep puts me right off bait fishing, and the numerous stingrays in the passage.

Hey Sammy us fishos tend to stick to what we know I like you have spent hours fishing for Tailor at dawn and dusk using Schneider fishing lines have recently switched to Suffix Extra Strong I was impressed with how smooth and supple this line is also it does seem very strong you may like to give it a try

Another good way to catch nippers is stomping through the reeds at the edge of the lake. This brings the nippers to the surface and you find them by looking for their back arching slightly above the waterline. Never caught a single fish on them but caught heaps of nippers this way :D

I call em yabbies in Victoria

Geez that brought back memories👍👍🍻 awesome work Sammy always good to catch you every Sunday

Hands and feet need sun protection as well mainly the feet.Night time is better for fair skin fisherman and better results stay safe and sun smart.Cheers

What hardbodies do you on the tailor? Raise leader strength?

More clean and cooks pls 🙏🏼

Really really enjoy these back to basic vids, they are quite helpful for me as a land based beginner fisher. Cant want to get out and walk/wade around some sandflats with bait and some lures to have a try with.

Hi sammy Hitzke im a big fan of your fishing could you tell me in your next videos where you are fishing

did the mavic controller go flat or just went off? i have the same one but use iphone in the standard mavic 2 controller.

Enjoy seeing you and your old man getting out for a fish Sammy. Nothing better than seeing you both reel a few in. Tight lines and enjoy🐟

Gotta love the humble whiting, I started on those as a child and will teach mine how to catch them too. Nice save on the drone mate. Maybe drone fishing is out of the question then? 🤙🏻

quality vid mate, cheers for the content

One armed bandits??

Cracking vid Sammy. What brand is that bait board ? I’m in need of a new one.

Top effort Sammy just reminds me just to go back to basics and enjoy some quality family time and fish are a bonus

Noticed you didn't use the plastic tube on your rig mate is that cause u were chasing all types of species

Hey mate where were you fishing in this vid. Do you live on Bribie island ? Cheers

Haha pro catch Sammy!

Awesome video Sammy. I was holding my breath when your drone came down.....

Everybody started from small humble inshore fish.

Hey mate what size reels are you using on those combos looks like some good fun on the light gear 👌🏼

When your pops was talking I wasn’t paying attention and straight up thought it was you 😂

The things you have to go through to get some footage! Always good to see your father with ya. I love fishing with mine!

In the USA we call em ghost shrimp

Why did you put a legal flatty back

I call yabbies

Noosa river ?

How happy is Tessa? Damn but this looked like a good day.

Thanks for god after long today I will be able to go for fishing.
