One Day & 4 Species - Kayak Fishing South Para [Yellowbelly, Redfin, Murray Cod & Silver Perch] 

Thanks mate, was a fun session 🎣

Thanks Frank, it was a long video…had to get pretty ruthless with the editing so a handful of fish didn’t get to show their face haha. I was stoked to get a couple of better callop late after dropping that one early. (Was about 45-47cm I reckon) I spent multiple days out on the ressie early in the year when the water level was right up and managed to contour map most of the main basement which I think is starting to pay dividends now being able to predict where the fish might be hiding…

Hello, thanks for reaching out 👋 You can eat the fish from South Para and I find the Redfin from there some of the cleanest looking fish. With the native species you must keep to the bag limits however with the Redfin tasting much better I let the native species go for fun and Redfin for the table. Make sure you have a fishing permit and read the rules and regs 👍 plenty of great fishing from the bank and bait fishing does very well also. Tight lines 🎣

@@Karl_Wild_Fishing Thank you very much. We loved redfin all those years ago and found they were great for the table. I am sure that hasn't changed. I will get my licence shortly so I can get in on the fun. Keep up the videos, it keeps me motivated. Well done. 😊👍🐟🎣

Hey mate glad you enjoyed the video! Was happy to tick off all the species in the one day. (Apart from Carp) I don’t remember exactly what leader I was running that day but the braid is 12lb Siglon Adv PE with either 8 or 10lb Rock FC. I was just waiting for that cod to find something to bust me on…. 1-3kg rod doesn’t have much pulling power against that 😂 I have a mully video which I caught a decent fish on 4lb same combo and braid. So it does punch above it’s class 😉 Yeah South Para is probably my favourite impoundment here but shuts down hard in winter. The old SA callop don’t like the cold haha Think pretty much all fish came on the V42 Prolure blade with hand tied assists. Glad you enjoyed mate, keen to watch more of your adventures also 🎣

@@Karl_Wild_Fishing cheers for the response mate appreciate all the information Ohh nice I run the same for my topwater set-up I love the siglon Sunline, That is some light cod fishing I like it think next time I'm going to fish a little lighter except with the real big lures I will definitely be here watching more as well Got me "hooked" with the light set-up chasing cod But yeah definitely have to be a little lucky for them not to take you back into the snags 👍🏼

@@Karl_Wild_Fishing nice work on the blade I didn't even know prolure made blades will take a look at them Love the fight you get from a blade the fish just seem to go harder

No worries mate. Yeah I’m running Adv PE on pretty much all my combos now. Great stuff 👌 Wouldn’t say I target cod on that setup but have picked up a fair few as by-catch when targeting goldens. Normally run heavier baitcaster setups for my cod fishing. Yeah the Prolure do a great blade. One of my favs 👌

Hey mate, this was before then. The day I bumped into you only managed 1 cod and 1 callop. Spent a fair time mapping the section up to the bridge. You manage a few?

Thanks maté appreciate it 😊👍

Thanks mate, South Para is definitely my favourite ressie of all near Adelaide. It’s definitely the most challenging of the bunch over the colder months. When it gets warmer 15 - 20+ native in a session casting is quite achievable. The quality of fish is also in my opinion is a step above the rest. Fair chance for a 80cm+ Cod & 50cm+ Golden. A lot more water than HV and not as obvious structure wise as Mypo. Most banks have at south para have produced fish for me at some point so would just recommend covering water until you find them. 🎣

@Karl_Wild_Fishing awesome mate. I went down for an hr this afternoon land based and got a 38cm redfin. Keen for the weekend now!

Hey mate glad you are enjoying the content. I’m hoping to add more content to help newbies in the future as you gotta start somewhere ☺️👍 as for basic bait rigs the two I’d look into is a typical Paternoster Rig or a Running Sinker Rig with worms should get you onto a few. As for the setup you don’t need to go out and get anything special and if you have a basic rod and reel that should do the job 👍

@@Karl_Wild_Fishing Cheers mate, appreciate it. Will definitely look into those setups!

Thanks mate, in this video I just fished blades as I found they were sitting a bit deeper. I’ve only managed a couple on TN’s in South Para both from the edge. I haven’t had much interest fishing them deep. Spinnerbaits and bladed jigs go well along the edges I find. Also seem to catch the better quality ones. It’s definitely my favourite reservoir at this stage and offers many styles of fishing which I love. Plus it’s absolutely stacked with food so the fish are so healthy!

@@Karl_Wild_Fishing and it’s only going to get better!🙏😊

Yeah depending which ressie they are both found. But you can’t use shrimp or yabbie nets in our reservoirs.

@@Karl_Wild_Fishing how can ya catch em?
