Jigging DEEP for BIG Surprises - SOLO ISLAND CAMPING - Part 3 

Haha, yea will have to get Drew out next time👍

Wasn't a sword fish

@@oliewray8357 I'm glad you commented this here because after reading "sword fish", I was very perplexed...and was about to go search Timmy's vid archive for this legendary Skiff Swordie, that I somehow missed back in the day!! LoL.

I'm pretty sure the skiff was sold or passed on to new owners eventually.

yep they did the job nicly👌

Field days is a parasite. He was stealing everything from Youngbloods, ideas, words, style. The only thing he didn't steal, was: "we got fire, babe"

Haha, yea I wasn’t feeling the half turns on the jigging at all😅 I got a little better towards the end of the day but definitely need more practice

Haha, i still like my boat better😁

​@@rokkitkitalot easier and cheaper to chuck in and enjoy 👍

Haha, yea it was a 5 part series so I wanted to keep the name consistent… but this stop off at a mates on the way up was not so solo😅

Yes I’d probably look into getting something for sure if I go again. The only fish that struggled to get down comfortably as the long nose trevally so we took it home to eat. But yes definitely would be a good piece of kit👍

While venting a fish suffering from barotrauma, is certainly a practice that helps the fish descend...Studies have proven that using the venting tools results in a very very low survival rate for the released vented fish. Which basically means the venting practice is ultimately more effective in helping the angler sleep better at night, since they watched all their released fish descend after stabbing a hole into their swim bladder, etc...than it is in actually saving a fish's life. However the barotrauma release kits, with the descending weights, are definitely a better option...and I've actually even seen some home made weighted descending release systems that were pretty keen. But personally, my preferred method (that is 100% effective for descending a fish, and not reducing their normal survival rate) is just practicing being situationally aware that I'm fishing deep water, and being diligent as I'm bringing the fish up to the surface...because as long as you don't just rip them up from deep too fast, the fish takes care of his own pressure regulation. I simply make sure that I'm giving the fish just that little bit of necessary time (Which isn't much) every 10ft of depth change...by either fighting it steady at a medium pace, or pausing my retrieve occasionally. The only time I don't do that, is if there are so many sharks keyed into the action...that a slower paced retrieve, or any pausing in your retrieval, is also a death sentence for the hooked fish, AND my gear. In which case, I just crank them up fast AF, and plan on not releasing the fish who can't descend...or I just move spots. But I bet a weighted descending kit would be clutch then too.

Well, I think for several reasons really: It effects the performance of the lure. Saltwater species are way smarter than freshwater species...and a steel leader would destroy your catch rate. Salt water is extremely corrosive to metal fishing gear. But mostly they'd be ineffective...because the species that bite through your leader, like sharks, will bite right through a wire leader just the same.

With this style jig we tie to the solid ring so even if the jig bends and brakes off your still attained to the hooks👍

It’s the Terrova, I’m loving my trolling motor. Now that I use it so much and see how it all goes I’d be keen on the self deploy option… I think they have a new range coming out soon, hopefully worth revamped self deploy 👍

@@rokkitkit epic didnt know about the new line, might wait for that. Self deploy does sound sweet if it works hehe. Thanks bro, cheers from California

Timmy helped make the custom plate boat, you can see it on one of his channels from start to finish👌

He comes and goes as he pleases 😁

@@rokkitkit 🤣

Not sure how much it’s all worth, but I just did a quick google and can see coral trout for $50-$80 per kg! So very lucky to be able to catch and eat all these for sure👍

Yea 100% fine to eat, we had it as sashimi that night and it was great. It’s definitely a lot firmer than most fish and that makes it a little less flavorful. But definitely not a problem taking one home to eat👌

You may get a look at it in Timmy vid when he gets it up👍

This is Tims boat, its a custom plate boat that he help make. Yea I got to admit I still like my boat better😅

@@rokkitkit keep rocking it mate. Your videos are some of the best on RU-vid and inspire some of us lazy buggers to get off our arse and have an adventure or two

This is Timmy’s boat, he made it with the help of NQ Plate boats. You can see it on his channel👌

Yea was a big one on that fancy swim bait! Good fish👌

And we did too😁

Yes definitely, it’s a weird one for me when it comes to catching and releasing lots of fish for sure👍

Yep, I may have already cut it while editing these ones😊💇🏻‍♂️

Maybe because of the amount of fish caught? I don’t often concentrate on lots of fish these days…

It's not about the number of fish. I'm trying to put my finger on why it didn't grab me because you produce a ton of really good stuff. It felt flat if that makes sense. But I'm just one dissenting voice of many who love it. The ones that I enjoy the most are the island visits. It's such a unique and fresh concept. This one is sort of feels like there wasn't as much effort put into it. Even though I know that's probably not the case. But that's just me. Others love this clip. I'm just one person.

Haha, yea I was struggling to find a spot around the groin area that wasn’t to sore to use by the end of the day😅

Agreed 🤔

Haha, I was meant to press this 🤙 but accidentally hit this🤔…😅

@@rokkitkit 😂 I forgive you

This is still on the way up to the spots, I’m doing a road trip to the places I went for the film festival last year and stopped off to see Tim as this is one of the places. There’s still two more parts to the series. Both on the outer barrier reef👍

@rokkitkit Cool, I love those solo camping trips of yours, especially the island one's.

Tfw the dogs better at the game than you
