The pelagic's are running hot! (catch & clean) 

Hey Sammy, one more thing. Any chance you could get Meridian to do an offer for watchers of your channel?

G’day John, I’ll keep that in mind mate. For anything in particular or just general stuff?

@@SammyHitzkeFishing I have been to Australia twice, for 3 weeks in a campervan, my only bit of success was a couple of tailor from the beach, a lot of sharks, and I dont know how many china cod on a boat trip up in Exmouth. I would love to have a go at snapper, jigging or bait, think they are the same family as our sea bream, which put up a great scrap, but the snapper seem about 10 times the size, I wondered about using light gear, but then also wondered what if you got a good one, to be honest Sammy, what I mentioned above would be very good, I would have thought its tricky tying an 80lb leader (Well this is from the man who lost two poppers in Aus casting from the beach because his leader knot caught in his top ring, I have since resorted to tying the braid to a swivel, then a heavier mono after that) But I suppose a lot of people would also be interested in how you tie up your trolling rigs

@@johnfurness2346 the knots you need for general fishing is loop knot, uni knot, FG knot, and you can get heaps more complicated with dead bait rig knots but that's really not required.. I would advise against using dead bait unless you are deep dropping or big game.... Cheers

@@fisherman7834 can confirm 👍

🙌🙌🙌 appreciate the support mate!

Cheers mate! Yeah it’s going to be a tough one but keen to give it a good crack! 🍻🍻

Same to you Loren! Hope you get stuck into a few 👌👌🍻🍻

Haha yeah mate it’s a bit of madness but all part of the fun! 👌👌🤣

How good is that! I’m still yet to get my first blue eye! Hopefully find a few this year 🤞🤞

Cheers mate 🍻🍻

Cheers Allan, haha yeah mate can’t win them all I guess 🤣🍻🍻

Cheers Billy appreciate it mate 🍻

We’ll see how we go mate! The sailfish might be a hard one!

Yeah mate still some good fish to be caught out there at times!

Appreciate it mate! 🙌🙌

Gotta love that sound! Cheers mate 🍻🍻

Appreciate it mate! 🙌🙌

Same to you mate! 🍻🍻

cheers mate! Glad you liked it 👌👌

Yeah it’s been pretty shocking weather wise hasn’t it! The cyclones gone and it still sucks! 😤

@@SammyHitzkeFishing Yeh, but the only good thing to come of it now is, I don't have to go all the way down to the bottom of South Bribie to put my boat in, I can just put it in at Golden Beach and shoot out through the new Bribie Passage between North and South Bribie. I just hope they take all the animals that are now stuck on Nth Bribie and move them to Sth Bribie, maybe we should start something with the National Parks Guys?

Cheers mate!

Hahah yeah mate, I like to leave the lawn to its own devices 🤣🤣 el natural where possible! 😉

Cheers Stefan, you too mate 🍻

G’day mate, yeah I’m sure they would be great. Should be nice and grippy, only thing is if you drop a mackerel on your foot they will go straight through. In saying that there isn’t much they won’t cut through 🤣

Thanks mate!

🤞🤞 it clears up again soon!

Thanks for the tips 🍻🍻

Haha yeah it is good fun! 👌👌

Thanks mate! I have actually, just haven’t had a chance to go get it sorted yet! I’ve done a walk through video already actually 👍👍

G’day Mal, thanks mate! Appreciate the support 🍻🍻 - I usually troll between 15-20kms depending on the lures and conditions - yeah I do put hardbodies in from time to time 👍 - teasers when solo are just another thing to get in the way. They are good if you have some hands on deck - Yeah give it some juice after hook up to set the hooks then keep it in gear to keep the pressure on - I like to run the boat along side the fish while fighting, but that doesn’t always go to plan 🤣🤣 Hope that helps 🍻🍻

@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks Sammy, appreciate the response - tight lines

Gotta be able to clean them properly if you want to keep them! 🍻🍻

Hey mate, nah it was a pink one that had faded a bit. Yeah in that area 👍

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ probably! I say lots of stuff that doesn’t make sense 💁‍♂️

Same to you 🍻🍻

Trolling?

The closest one to my house 🤣👌

Hang in there mate! You’ll get one sooner or later! Nah just single speed Tyrnos 👌

Hey mate, I use Meridian Tackle lures and troll between 15-20kms for the pelagics. I stagger my lures back from 20-50m 👍

Not as of yet mate. I have a PLB on my belt as well as a PFD 100 👍

G’day mate, I filmed it before all the bad weather came through. That bag I put between my legs and the seat on the way out. The seat is a little close to the steering wheel and has a big ridge along the middle that digs into my legs something chronic if I don’t use it 🍻🍻

@@SammyHitzkeFishing well there you go mate I've always noticed it floating around the boat and always been curious with its sole purpose ha ha thanks for sharing 👍

G’day Ken, I’ve never tried it too be honest mate. I don’t think it would work on mackerel, but Cobia have nice thick skin so maybe it would 👌👌

Cheers mate! I usually go 15-20km for pelagics and a bit slower for marlin 👌

@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks a lot! 👍🏻

I hope that you mean meticulous not malicious care.

@@Smokeyr67 If only my writing was as meticulous as Sammy's filleting skills.. 😆

Hahah keen eye mate! Yes if take the skin off a fillet I don’t like to let it touch a wet table. If I have scaled the fish or it still has it’s scales on I’m not so fussy. 👌👌🍻🍻

@@SammyHitzkeFishing yep ditto mate. If I'm going to take the time and effort to go offshore, you better believe I'm going to take the time and effort to look after my catch!

Hey mate, I run wire off the hook, then attach heavy leader from the wire through the skirt 👍

Cheers mate! Yeah bloody good day in the office! Some nice fillets too 👌👌

@@SammyHitzkeFishing yeah bloody oath it was one day when I got a decent boat IL have to follow you out and have a fish off boat to boat bend to bend see who gets the most I'm keen as to get into some decent fish

Hey mate, nah it was shot before the bad weather came in 👍👍

Best of luck mate. Hope you nail a few 🍻🍻

hey mate, nah it’s a lumo bead I use as a spacer to get the hook in the right position 👌👌

Yeah mate check it out at the end of the video 👍

Cheers mate! 🍻🍻

@@SammyHitzkeFishing all good buddy

15-20km usually mate. Depends on the lures and conditions 👍

I travel all over the place mate! Wherever I can find the best weather 👌👌

@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks mate. the weather at the moment doesnt look the best in seq, hopefully it clears up for some good fishing soon.

Haha have been known to get the kit off from time to time 🤣👌

Hey mate about 15-20km for the pelagics 👍👍

Thanks heaps mate that really helps. 👍🏻👌🍻

15-20km per hour generally for pelagics mate. Bit slower for marlin 👍

Lawn mower?? What’s that 🤣🤣

Filmed this one before the bad weather came in mate 👍👍

What is a common kayak fishing lure? Trolling skirts?

@@SammyHitzkeFishing pelagics, trolled dead bait’s skirted and un-skirted. Reefies similar to boaties. I use SP mainly through winter.

@@SammyHitzkeFishing great vids too mate. 👌🏽

Watch until the end you will find out.

What Benny said 👌🍻🍻

Cheers mate! Be pretty cool to tick them all off 👌👌

15-20kms per hour mate 👍

@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks Sammy. Great vids every week

Yeah mate, had some roe in there and a full stomach 👍

🤤🤤🤤🤤

🍻🍻🍻

It wasn’t the longest fish, but jeez he was fat! 🍻🍻

Come to HK we can hit the oil rigs

Because I got out before the weather came in 😉

🍻🍻

I didn’t see it, I’ll check it out 👌👌

SEQ mate 🍻🍻

@@SammyHitzkeFishing cool mate I thought so!! Gold Coast???

Cheers mate, appreciate the support! I’ve actually found that if you cook the fibrous side down on the hot plate it actually breaks it down and you can’t even tell it’s there when eating it 👌👌

@@SammyHitzkeFishing been some years since I caught Mahi so good to know. Thanks for the tip. Keep up the good work!

Good to know 👍

Hahah you got it mate! It started after I caught the striped marlin. So 12 months from the 16th December! The clocks ticking!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hahah I would be sacking myself 🤣🤣

I CAN SAY WHATEVER I WANT
