Kayak Fishing for squid in Port Phillip Bay Melbourne Australia on a Hobie Pro Angler 14 Kayak. I demonstrate a few simple squid fishing tips and then catch some big calamari. There is no better way to chase a feed of calamari then fishing from a hobie kayak squid fishing. It’s a fun and rewarding form of squid fishing melbourne.
Make sure you watch until the end as things start a little slow but then a small window of chaos catching upgrade after upgrade with the last squid having a 41cm hood. I do get a little excited in this one. If you enjoy the video, then please subscribe to the channel.

Thanks !!!! Yep one of my favourite vids. Despite me getting a bit to excited at times. Lock in a weekend soon and ill take you to the same spot.

@Toufandabetos 4 года назад

hey mate. i thought that was awesome how you helped my friend from drowning at the start. if it wasnt for you he wouldve sunk!

@fishingmad 4 года назад

Glad to help, funny enough I reckon that's the 5th or 6th time Ive rescued someone in the last 12 months. Us fellow kayakers need to look after each other out there, things can go wrong pretty quickly. Last year i rescued someone, there must of been 20 people closer to the person then me and not one of them went over to lend a hand. Very sad at times. Was great to meet you guys, hope to see you out there again soon.

Great to see you helping old mate out. I capsized the kayak out of Nudgee Beach not long ago and thankfully had people with me so got back in. Would have been pretty buggered otherwise!

@fishingmad 4 года назад

Thanks, 100% agree. I'm glad you had some help when you went overboard. I'm amazed that on a few occasions i've seen someone tip over and others in the immediate are not bother to help. It can be a real challenge to tip your kayak back over and get back on it. Can be exhausting and scary when there is no help around. I was hoping to help send a positive message out there. I'm often fishing solo and would help others would help me if i needed it. Thanks heaps for your comment !!

good content mate. I think I have got the saltwater bug, having been a freshwater fisherman for most of my life.

@fishingmad 4 года назад

Thanks for comments Paul. Yeah freshwater fishing can be tough at times, lots of hours, lots of casts and some times low rewards. Although catching, trout, perch, cod and so on is also great. A good combination of both is the best I think. I do love my slat water fishing this time of year when the snapper and squid are firing, hope this vid has helped inspire you. Best regards Al

Well done, another great video. Two questions are you fishing off Altona and why is the text on your PFD and shirt back to front. 12:40

@fishingmad 4 года назад

Thanks for the positive comments. Yeah lately have been fishing mainly campbells cove, werribee and altona way. Plenty of squid, pinkies and flathead in that whole area. 99% of the filming is done by myself often have to use the camera in selfie mode to make sure im in the frame and that its straight etc. Its one of the major downsides. however I have a new GoPro 8 on order and this has a new camera mod that allows you to see what your filming without selfie mode so that will be another big improvement to the channel very soon.

fishingmad would be good to get away from the crowded piers. Can u catch salmon and snapper just a short way out 100-200 metres?

@fishingmad 4 года назад

100% you can. I got onto the biggest school of salmon on my kayak last year at Altona Millers road literally 100 meters from shore. Have a look at this its a ripper ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qGV18ZKzSCA.html also caught plenty of good size pinkies, odd snapper, flathead, gummies, whiting and much more

@MrAlGault 4 года назад

Hey Alan, love the vid,have you tried many different pfd’s while fishing from the kayak? I’m in need of a new one and am curious if a fishing specific with heaps of storage pockets or a lightweight minimal pfd is the way to go

@fishingmad 4 года назад

Thanks for the positive comments Alastair. Its a really good question you have. I have worn a handful of traditional non inflated PFD's but I always find them so uncomfortable whther on the boat or kayak. Even some of the quite expensive ones. I have resorted to just using an inflatable PFD but I don't think its anywhere near as safe and is a little concerning. I guess I'm lucky with the hobie as it has so much available storage so i prob don't need that with a PFD. Its something I'm very keenly looking into a good quality one thats non inflatable but light and comfortable. I actually spent some time looking around BCF and online earlier today but didn't find anything. ill keep researching and let you know what i find. Have you come across anything worth checking out ?

@fishingmad 4 года назад

Just spoke to a good mate at Melbourne Seadoo, there going to send some details of a couple for me to look at. ill let you know what they are like.

@tonypeake467 4 года назад

another great vid Alan. Nice squid. What brand were the red and gold jigs. Amateur question. Is a UV jig transparent/opaque ?

@fishingmad 4 года назад

Hi Tony, The jigs used was Rui squid jig in the hulk colour. They are fantastic and only $10 delivered, Rui has a good store on eBay. the other was an Asari egiKing which cost $13 from hooked on bait and tackle. UV is something they add to the cloth which makes it stand out when its in the water. Been around for a few years I find the UV foils seem to work better then rattles and other stuff. I hope that helps, let me know if i can assist with anything else. Cheers

@tonypeake467 4 года назад

Thanks for all that info, def helps. Have heard of the Ruis,well priced and lot of positive feedback. Will order one soon.

@fishingmad 4 года назад

Yeah, Ive been using them for about 6 months now and really rate them for the price point. Cant complain for $10 delivered thats for sure. I've done really well on the Hulk coloured one and the king george whiting colour. Hope that helps.

Hay Alan , whats the net model you have? I've seen the berkley ones but cant seem to find the longer handle foldable ones? Cheers Niko.

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Its the Berkley Catch And Release Telescopic Landing Net the ones online make it really hard to work out which one it is. The handle on mine is about 90mls long. Great because its retractable and the net folds in half

Thanks Trent, yeah I bought one of those berkley fold up nets. They cost a little bit more bit they are so good. Once im done with it for the day the handle slides in then the net folds in half and i put the cover on which is great as it doesn't take up much space when im not using it.

@Clint_of_Earth 4 года назад

What water depth do they like to hang out in? And do you have any tips to stop getting the jig snagged in sea weed. I've been out 4 times now and caught nothing. Is that normal?

@fishingmad 4 года назад

I usually find them between 2 and 5 meters. You can catch them deeper but typiclly im looking for weedy areas with that depth. Easiest way to try and unsnag or jig is to go past where you have snaged up and try and yank it out from the other side even if you have to move the boat or kayak. The last 1 month the water temperature has dropped 2 degrees so fishing for most species including squid has been really challenging. what are have you been fishing ?

@fishingmad 4 года назад

I too was nervous on my first few trips out in the bay. My best advice is only go out on your own on calm conditions and where possibly go out with others, especially who are experienced who can lend a hand. My kayak being a PA14 can handle the poor conditions pretty well but i still rarely ever go out in choppy conditions. What kayak do you have ??

Yeah lots of people are buying those yaks. The best sounder on a budget is the Lowrance hook 2 4x. They cost about $120 and do most things OK. I have one which you can see in my vids. Good for depth, temprature and can sound schools of pinkies and fish holding the bottom. The tricky part can be mounting it and connecting the transducer/battery.

@crowns9 4 года назад

would like to get a kayak but seeing that guy in the water makes me ... how and why please explain?

@fishingmad 4 года назад

The easy answer is that's what happens when you buy cheap and unstable kayaks. You very rarely see guys capsize when there using a stable kayak. Many of the retail outlets here sell cheap kayaks that a very unstable and they sell many of them. I did the same the first time I bought a kayak. I now have a hobie PA its so very stable. That particular area also has quite a bit of boat and jet ski traffic it was a boat passing by the got him of guard.
