Steve 'Starlo' Starling reckons the Australian salmon or kahawai is by far our most under-rated, over-looked and unsung southern sportfish, and that the very best way to enjoy these battlers is on a fly rod... Watch and see if you agree!

Nice to hear the bell birds in the background

@aaronheadland8698 Месяц назад

They are awesome fun. The ones you get on the south coast are amazing. Back in Melbourne, we don’t get those special ones, but they are good fun all the same. I’ll never forget a morning I spent in Narooma with Stu Hindson catching absolute torpedoes. Was a great day

Good stuff! 👍

@pigsandapples Месяц назад

What a great spot to fly fish for them! Thanks for another excellent video.

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Thanks for watching!

We used to call them mini-marlin.

You’re an excellent fisherman. Don’t ever forget it. Sincerely 💛 A subscriber.

I appreciate that!

@timdevries7350 Месяц назад

Hey Starlo. Great video, looks like awesome fun! I liked the comment at the beginning describing the "sparse" fly! That's something I learned about a year ago with my flies! Makes all the difference! Keep up the great work!

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@jarrodsorensen2270 Месяц назад

By far one of your best uploads so far Starlo!!!👊🎣

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Thank you!

@huntinfishin7214 Месяц назад

That just looks like so much fun, great upload as usual.👍

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Thank you 👍

@PeachyFlyFishing Месяц назад

Nice one mate, some solid sambos there! So cool to get them wading like that too!

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Thanks 👍

@markbray7703 Месяц назад

Love catching Aussie Salmon of the beach here in SA. Catch and realise but keep a few for cray bait with in the season.🦞

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Nice one!

@bobclark4994 Месяц назад

I fished that estuary (I think it was the same!) about a year ago on my kayak. I stuck the GoPro underwater and it was wall to wall salmon. Great to see!

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Amazing aren't they? So good to see.

@mbnz0174 Месяц назад

Since I've taken up light line estuary lure fishing, I've developed a liking for these fish. As for eating, if iki, bled, gutted and iced straight away, they make the grade.

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Agreed.

@Timbo_Breambo Месяц назад

I use spin gear more than the fly because I catch my spinning but the fly is debatably more fun as a wise man once said “the tug is the drug” great vid starlo

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Yep, true!

@yep.fishing Месяц назад

I guess you can always use a streamer fly (is that the right term?) on a long light spin rod too@@StarloGetsReel

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

@@yep.fishing yep, or a smallish, lightly-weighted soft plastic.

@davidgc4396 Месяц назад

Looked great fun Starlo. I got a couple of queenies last week they go alright as do blue threadfin salmon I catch off the beach 😊

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Nice 👍

@michaelpaul5498 Месяц назад

Thanks for the video. I didn't know Aus Salmon were estuary fish as well as in the ocean. It's a very long drive for me to visit the ocean. My local river has carp and not much else. They also put up a good fight. Kind regards MP

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Thanks for watching!

@brianandrea3249 Месяц назад

Connected to some massive units around Merimbula…at least 5kgs and plenty in the 2-3kg range. But bumped into a bloke who was targetting them on the fly. Being a recent fly fishing convert for trout myself, it felt that this was the right way to go for these magnificent fish and will be bringing my fly rod next time. Although I kinda think a 5wt is a tad undergunned! Thanks for the inspiration Starlo.

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

No worries!

@lesfredericks4232 Месяц назад

Great video Steve 👍🎣💯

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Thanks 👍

@tiller_gorilla7220 Месяц назад

Wouldnt mind some fly gear but by geez the price Great footage Starlo.well played

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

There's actually some pretty affordable and quite good fly gear around these days.

@CharlesStevens-qy4bz Месяц назад

Yessss starlo love ur videos mate i have always wanted to go fly fishing 👍👍🎣🎣🇦🇺🇦🇺🤙🤙

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

You should!

@CharlesStevens-qy4bz Месяц назад

But I don’t think u can in nsw

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

@@CharlesStevens-qy4bz why is that? This video was made in NSW.

@CharlesStevens-qy4bz Месяц назад

Wait really

@CharlesStevens-qy4bz Месяц назад

Where abouts is it if u don’t mind me asking 👍

@jessesmith9818 Месяц назад

Hey Starlo! Have you got a video on beginners fly fishing? With affordable entry level gear? Also do you know for far north you can find Australian Salmon on the east coast? Cheers!

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

This is probably the nearest thing to what you're looking for: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hgjf3cwQOzA.html There's some quite affordable fly gear around these days. The core principles and basics all still apply, regardless of the price of the equipment. Aussie salmon very occasionally stray as far north as QLD's Gold Coast, but they become increasingly less common north of about Forster.

@jessesmith9818 Месяц назад

Legend Starlo! I think ill diversify my fishing and picky myself up a fly combo! Shame about the salmon I'm a-little north at the Coffs region, but see fly fishermen regularly at a smaller creek chasing the mullet on fly. So ill give that a go!

@thewholls7176 Месяц назад

We used to get Australian salmon off the W.A. Coast Along with big bull taylor……. 2kg fish (which sometimes had worms when you gutted them.) But in terms of eating, the salmon we’re not that good to eat…..

@garykemsley8237 Месяц назад

Carwhy,. Now when anyone suggests that these fish are easy challenge them to catch one over lineweight!

@tomjones8293 Месяц назад

Nice video as always Starlo but are these strong in the water and air good eating ?

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Not too bad. There are a lot better fish to eat, but if you look after them and know how to prepare them, they’re not bad at all. 👍

@keithprinn720 Месяц назад

so many unanswered questions regarding this species. how much do they damage estuaries by gathering in massive schools entering and wiping out bait and other nurseries of species? like trout, redfin etc it is not a simple exercise valuing this fish. certainly a great target.

@StarloGetsReel Месяц назад

Only been happening for about 20 million years, I’d imagine, and the estuaries have managed. 😉
