Great tips Andrew👍👍 I used my new sounder today for the first time. I saw these same things you're showing happening on my screen a bit, so your video could'nt have come at a better time for me. I got a small mulloway early, then only small flattys and reds after that. I spent more time experimenting randomly with different settings than I did fishing. Glad I got it though.
Cheers Andrew lets hope it helps get those jew in your boat. Might b a bit crowded at holiday time but i find its the best time of year to scan around an find some new ground. Never hurts to have heaps of marks in the sounder gives u more options when its windy, which is most days 😂
@@Lowysfishing sure does I spend alot of time looking for structure. I've got a few marks similar to that you have shown will rises. I will definitely try them next time.
Inspired me to get my sounder working again and went and spot locked on a spot I caught one before, plenty of bait and fish on the sounder drops down from like 5-10m. I don't have side scan though which sucks, i got a nice pan snapper flathead and then got busted off by a big tailor 🙄😭 no jew today but feel confident on the spot with a bit of persistence. Cheers mate
Awesome John. At least u got out an caught some fish. I had the same a trip or so back the tailor were a menice 😩 lost a lure aswell. An as long as your catching other fish it passes time until u get onto that jewy 👍
Thanks Crebo, i dont mind giving out some tips hopefully they help. An im probly just lucky more than anything 😂😂 Also i get to spend a good amount of time out there an that is the best way to catch anything.
First time I've seen someone talk about these structures on the lake. I've come across many, and fished them a little but will spend some more time focussing on them now. I reckon they're the only real natural structure in deeper water through the lake. Are they cockle beds?? I have pulled up a shell before from one of them. Would be interesting to dive on them or get some underwater footage.
Yer im sure there cockle beds Tom. Good places to fish in general but they hold fish so always a chance bigger fish will visit. Id say that all through the lake they would b found its just a matter of looking around the different areas 👍
Thanks Matthew merry xmas 🎄 its a jarvis walker deluxe 120cm heavy duty landing net. Its deep enough netting so the jew or big flattys dont jump back out an at least il fit the whole fish inside this 1 🙌
@@RR-bm6od i just cruise when im using the side imagining usually under 10kph , mine will read bottom and find structure going 40kph but its not as clear as when i just idle along. An the slower u go the better the quality of sounding u get back which makes identifying the bottom much easier. An its much easier to see fish aswell an bait schools when going slower.
Thanks mate i thought id just show people what i look for when finding a place that would most likely hold or have jewys around it at some point in the day. An i dont do charters at this point but it could happen down the track 👍
They work good 👍 i used a colour called jungle a week ago for about half hour,caught 4 fish an lost a jew on it. Unfortunately an the lure with the jew i need to get more of that colour i have a good feeling about it.
Great info mate do you upgrade the hooks on your trans ive had a terrible run with the hooks lost some good fish because of them otherwise there awesome
No i just leave the standard hooks on there as im only using 16lb braid. If they get bent then i replace them..If im fishing around bridges with them i swap the hooks out for some strongers hooks though as il use a much heavier drag an usually 20lb braid.
I haven't really looked but im definitely curious to go an sound around there. Wangi has some but thats as far as iv checked. There would have to be something that way i will go 4 a look when the wind isnt terrible.
