LoveYakken, Coffs Harbour Fishing.
Австралия
Добавлен 24 мар 2013
My dad taught me to fish as a young kid, haven't stopped since.
I owned a boat for 8 years then bought my first kayak and fell in love with the simplicity of it and found I enjoyed the yak more than the boat, which I sold after not using it for a few years.
Really enjoy getting out into new spots and learning how to target different species I haven't targeted before ( Bass, Jew, Jacks) but still get a buzz fishing the creeks for the humble flathead on plastics and live bait.
Cheers.

ONE LURE, 5 SPECIES: JACK, JEW, FLATHEAD, BREAM & MULLET??
Просмотров 98728 дней назад
Fishing using the 2" Double Paddle Tail grub soft plastic. This one little lure caught 5 different species, only small fish but a jack, jew, bream, flathead and even a mullet lol. A magic winters morning to be out fishing in the kayak till the wind came up late morning. It was a slow bite on the larger plastics so downsized to this small grub did the trick. Only small fish found this morning bu...

Flathead fishing: Hooked a BIG flathead on light tackle, lucky to land this one, nearly straightened the hook. A picture perfect winters day on the water, no wind, hungry fish and full moon big tides. A big thanks to Will from Down South Tackle for giving me some of his hand made soft plastics to try out. They don't have a website up yet, but you can DM him on Instagram @Down_South_Tackle. Than...
WINTER BEACH FISHING: WHITING FISHING BACK TO BASICS!!
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.2 месяца назад
Beach fishing for winter whiting, the easiest way to catch these tasty little fish is definitely using fresh live yabbies. Sometimes getting right back to basic fishing using fresh bait, like you did as a kid, can be an enjoyable and rewarding change from flicking lures. I was lucky enough to score a perfect winters afternoon just before the wind and rain kicked in on the Coffs Harbour Coast. N...
COFFS HARBOUR WINTER FLATHEAD FISHING!!
Просмотров 8992 месяца назад
Fishing for winter flathead in the shallows using the Zman slim swimz on the Mid North Coast NSW. Winter can be a great time to target dusky flathead from a kayak on the flats. This time of year, on the Mid North Coast, we get lots of no wind days which is perfect for drifting with the tide over the flats throwing soft plastics like the Zman slim swimz.
TAILOR FISHING: HEADLAND SURF FISHING ADVENTURE!!!!
Просмотров 8722 месяца назад
Fishing with hard body lures off an NSW coastal headland chasing tailor (bluefish). The plan was to catch a couple of small just legal sized tailor to use as live bait off the beach at night for some mulloway/jew. As usual things didn't go to plan, no small tailor caught, instead a nice green back tailor which the light whiting/bream surf rod struggled to handle. Thanks for watching, subscribin...
RED ROCK FISHING : Whiting, Flathead, Bream & Mullet?
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 месяца назад
Fishing at Red Rock on the Mid North Coast N.S.W using soft plastics. Winter is upon us once again and as much as I hate the cold mornings, we usually get some awesome no wind days which is perfect for exploring on the kayak. Slow start early morning on the last of the run-out tide but things picked up on the run in with plenty of flathead, bream, whiting and mullet around. No monster sized fis...
ADDICTIVE BASS FISHING WITH FROGS.

Does it get any better than seeing a Bass smash a lure off the surface? Today I fish a small coastal creek only 3kms from the surf beach using the Zman finesse frogs during the last week of bass season. The water was chocolate milkshake brown after 2 days of heavy rain flooding into this tiny system. It's amazing this creek holds a healthy bass population, only having a couple of kms of fresh w...

Secret of WHEN to use the Splash Prawn fishing for Mangrove Jacks, Mangrove Jacks love a tasty prawn. Using a surface popper like the MMD Splash Prawn has to be the most exciting way to target mangrove jacks, but not always the most affective. You just never can get enough of seeing a mangrove jack hit the surface with such speed and precision, gets the heart pumping every time. The new moon we...
BASS ANGLERS’ DREAM: Fishing the Pristine Mountain Rivers.

Bass Fishing in spectacular mountain scenery and clean clear waters. Today I head up into the mountains to chase wild Australian bass. It's good for the soul to get out into areas like this. Catching wild Australian native fish in their untouched natural environment is such a buzz, I need to get out fishing for bass more often........think I say that every season, lol.
SPINNING FOR TAILOR. SHOULD I DITCH THE TREBLE HOOKS FOR SINGLES?????
Просмотров 3,4 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Late afternoon session spinning for tailor off the rocks around the Coffs Harbour area. I was using the 40g Halco Twisty. I probably lost more tailor than I landed, maybe I need to change the treble hooks to singles?? I'm interested to know how you guys have found using single hooks on your metal slugs. Do you find the hook up rate is as good? And do you find they can't shake the singles as eas...
EPIC MANGROVE JACK FISHING!!!, Coffs Coast NSW.
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Mangrove Jack Fishing the Coffs Coast NSW. How epic has the Mangrove Jack fishing been so far this season!!!! Jacks can be a frustrating fish to chase on lures, some days they are there but just not feeding, then for reasons that only the jacks know, they seem to fire up smashing soft plastics aggressively. It's so addictive seeing that big flash of red and feeling the power as they hit and cha...

PORT MACQUARIE FISHING, Flathead On Soft Plastics
Beautiful bit of water you are fishing there... Great start to the season 👌🏽
Yeah it's a good spot at the start of the season. Once the water warms through summer can get thick with freshwater weeds/lillypads etc. making it tough to fish. I was pretty happy to get a 46cm first flick of the season though, thanks for watching Johnathon.
Always love a Loveyakken video. Is there any chance you could make a video in moonee creek on the Kayak and just go around the bend and through some paddle tails. We go there often and catch a lot of flathead and bream
Hi Austin, probably will have a fish in there over the next few weeks, has been awhile since I have had a flick there, so keen to see how it's fishing.
That’s a nice start to the season with some good fish. I was starting to think that those spiders must have come without hooks. The Zmans certainly work well.
lol, yeah the hooks were actually really good quality but need to be a bit bigger. A stinger hook behind would work well in water that wasn't weedy, I got frustrated cleaning it every cast. Can't complain though I guess, $3 for 3 lures lol.
nice one mate, that looked like a very visually fun session (gotta love surface strikes) promising start to the season :)
Fun session but think the day before would have been firing when it was 30 degrees, I was a day late.
@@LoveYakken weekend forecast is looking good bro , im lookin at going to the local grounds if conditions hold if your not busy & interested
Hmmmmm, might have to grab some silicon to fill some holes in the yak before going offshore lol, Could be keen Sunday morning, will see if the wind gods are still cooperating when it gets closer.
@@LoveYakken hear ya there mate been going to go a cpl of times this week but they said "GFY" & blew my chances away lol so crossing everything so it holds :P if not planB
Single hooks are definitely the way to go IMO. Better for the fish and the angler. I still have lures with trebles but most have been swapped out for singles. I might sort a few more to singles today. It's blowing a gale here in WA so a prime day for some tackle prep
Cheers mate,
glad i saw that video as i am down from the Gold coast QLD and staying at a relatives house in Boronia street Sawtell , and that has gave me the urge to get the rod out tomorrow for the short walk to Bonville
Good stuff, I actually fished there all day today for the first time in ages. Couldn't get a bite all morning on the out going tide but once the tide turned there was lots of flathead on soft plastics. Not big fish, around the 40cm range, but plenty of them. Good luck.
Caught my PB there yesterday 🤙🏼🎣
Congrats mate, would have been a perfect day at that spot yesterday with no swell
Watching these vids to try and learn how to use soft plastics cause I'm hopeless 🤣
lol, not hopeless, still learning. Don't give up mate, it gets easier. Cheers for watching.
Lovely vid mate what rod and reel is that?
Hi mate, the reel is a shimano Sedona 2500 spooled with 10 pound braid. Rod is a Daiwa Gen Black Wild Weasel, it's one of the original ones from about 13 years ago but still going strong. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Top spot that. Great vid mate
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks mate
I love Urunga mate so beautiful I got a nice 60 on yellow rock road the other day it’s not a bad little stretch up there 🙏
Yeah its a nice area, I havent fished it as much as I probably should being so close.
@@LoveYakken me neither honestly, not on the yak anyway I gotta stop being lazy haha , that jack was a nice addition to the day too ! Tight lines anyway mate 🎣
Yeah the little jack was a surprise, thanks for watching mate, see ya around.
looked like a fun session bro, those little double paddle tails look like they draw the bites yet another enjoyable vid m8 :)
Definitely a fun morning, the little grubs look soooo good on the drop. The 2 paddle tails seem to make it drop fairly slow on a light jig head and pump out heaps of vibration.
@@LoveYakken i just might have to invest in some & give them a crack.
Great fish, but especially on that finesse gear.
Well played, loved the commentary, ,
Cheers Steven,
Cracking video , lived that one with you and what a great fish !! Well done😎🎣
Thanks Nick, yeah it definitely got my heart pumping.
Awesome croc!
They are a cool looking fish at that size, thanks for watching mate
Wow!!!
@@justinlambert4937 yeah, got a bit of a shock when I first saw it, had to edit out the words I said lol
@@LoveYakkenhaha, I bet!
What a ball biter. I'd buy a lotto ticket mate. Well done.
Sometimes you just get lucky🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍
So stoked for you, really enjoyed that one
Thanks mate, was a good day, cheers
Hey mate where abouts is this? Up in coffs harbour for a bit before heading up to gold coast looking for a good place to chuck in a couple rods
It's just south of Coffs, all the rivers/creeks around here have plenty of flathead in them, just have to be lucky to be in the right spot right time. Good luck 👍
Beautiful croc you handled it really well and was patient (I could never), really deserved well done.
Thanks mate, its hard to stay patient sometimes but have learnt the hard way a few times losing bigger fish rushing it on light gear desperate to land them.
I was waiting for this video since you first posted it. Pretty sure I know where it is but as always. Gonna keep it a secret
Cheers Austin, hope you've been hooking into a few.
awesome fish mate, congratulations. also great to see home grown Aussie lures working so well. could feel tension in your voice all the way to the end. how majestic when they swim away after such a long fight.
Thanks Michael, you are right about "majestic" watching them swim off strong. I was really cautious to get her back in the water as quick as I could. I couldn't get a good camera angle without the sun behind me when holding her up but thought getting her back in the water fast was more important than a good pic. Thanks for watching.
now that was well worth enduring the 4C temp bro thats what you call a real croc bro congrats on the fish & yet another awesome vid.
Cheers mate, yeah it was a chilly morning to be in shorts and have wet feet lol.
Been waiting for this for ages 🎉
Thanks for hanging in there, sorry for the wait. I have been a bit slack filming lately, been leaving the cam at home and just enjoying fishing without having to think about keeping lens clean, changing battery's etc. just enjoying the day fishing.
@@LoveYakken Awesome video, hahaha we know how you feel we do it all the time too. We always appreciate when you upload legend 👍
Is this coffs creek?
@@Jonahroundsfish No not Coffs creek, didn't fish in there last season,
I was the one texting on Insta. Great fish man. Can’t wait for the vid tomorrow. And by chance my best friend Finn Lynch said he knows you, any chance you know him too
@@Austin.harper hi Austin, thanks for your support, have probably met Finn at some stage out fishing. Vids out on Saturday not tomorrow, still editing it tonight
@@LoveYakken Ye sorry. Thought today was Friday. Do you mind me asking what you caught it on
@@Austin.harper Caught on one of Down South Tackles 2.5" paddle tails minnows.
@@LoveYakken That’s right. So excited for the vid on Saturday. Have you been tailor fishing at the rocks recently for tailor. Would love to see another one of those vids again. Maybe at Mo**ee
@@Austin.harper Might have a tailor spin soon, see what the weather and swell does next time I'm heading out
Awesome fish 🔥
@@beyondbushfishing cheers, sometimes I get lucky🤞🤞
What headland are you fishing at in Coffs
hey mate, we used to catch heaps of dart years ago at nambucca, but they seam to have disappeared from there. kused to love catching them as they fight like crazy!!
Yeah they fight hard alright, strange you don't catch them there anymore, still heaps around here in the beach gutters.
what size is the rod your using
Hey mate, the rods a Penn Allegiance 3, 12 foot, 8-12kg medium heavy spin. I was worried it might be a bit too stiff to flick metal slugs but can throw a 40g slug no probs. Great strongly built rod, last a lifetime, like most penn gear
Hey mate bout to go on holiday around urunga keen as ! Can’t wait to hook a few Do you get any jewies at the beaches or rock black fish around the ledges ??? Love the videos
Can't help you with the rock black fish but been getting a lot of jewies off the beach just before the weather went ugly. no monster jew but plenty round the 60 to 70cms mark. Any deep gutter along the beaches are worth a try, some nights there's none then the next night you get a few, but that jew fishing. Good luck.
@@LoveYakken thanks bro !!! Looks like you get some nice green backs out that way aswell !
@@LoveYakken hope the weather clears up this week !
Can usually find a few tailor round the headlands, the odd bigger greenback if you're lucky.
@@uhhbam on the Urunga river. If you stand on the car bridge across from the train bridge, you can sometimes see lots of Jewies smashing all the hering and mullet. Around 9:00 till 11:00 at night is the perfect time to go. Or if you have a tinny go the that bridge near all the pilons
Those Shimano Sedona reels may be on the cheaper side, but damn they are brilliant bits of kit.
100% agreed, its had a tough life, always getting wet on the kayak and surf etc. but it just keeps charging on. Drag is surprisingly good for a cheap reel, it has stood up better than expensive reels I have owned.
Hi Loveyakken, it’s me the local. Was wondering if you went fishing at corindi or you prefer not to say. Also I am not able to find any yabbies in Coffs or moonee, so was wondering if you got them at woolgoolga. Thanks Austin
Hi Austin, you will be able to pump yabbies at moonee, heaps of them on the sand flats there, low tide straight in front of the park across from tennis courts. I was fishing up at mullaway/mullawarra area but heaps of whiting off moonee, probably better than where I was.
@@LoveYakkenThank you sooooo much. I will try when I get back from holiday in Byron. All this rain is hard to fish in, but for a video idea. The Jewfish are really good when it’s raining under some big pylons off a bridge
Nice spot mate
Yeah we are a bit spoilt with awesome beaches around here, shame the wind and rain atm won't let us get out and enjoy them.
@@LoveYakken true that mate
Looks like woolgoolga creek
Na, couldn't be, no fish in Woopi creek.😉 Thanks for watching Steve.
Thanks for all your videos mate. Being a newbie to fishing and living near Coffs I have really found your videos helpful......Question is my 10yo young bloke is really keen to catch tuna lol I figure we might just start with some rock fishing but was hoping you could point me in the right direction for some safe rock areas around Coffs to get started? Thanks heaps
Hey mate, chasing tuna off the rocks is something I haven't really done, but I know they target them from the end of mutton bird island. It's not exactly a safe spot though. I have caught a few off north wall when spinning for tailor but were only small fish. Cheers mate.
@@LoveYakken yeah good stuff he was talking about mutton bird I wasn't keen so North wall is a good compromise. Thanks heaps hopefully run into you out there at some stage out and say hi 👍
@@Razorfishing Good luck, hope you find a few.
Good fishing to you too👍
I wish that the fishing was like that in Cairns, the water here is bright green from fertiliser run off.
Sad to hear that, nothing worse than pollution in our waterways.
Gotta be happy with the results and an peaceful day on the water, thanks for sharing !
Thanks mate, yeah couldn't ask for a more peaceful day, perfect condition and a few fish, a perfect morning.
👌 cuppa nice ones there mate
Plenty of little ones but the odd bigger girl in there, cheers mate
Couldn’t fit in the net is one of the best problems to have
Lol, yeah I suppose I shouldn't complain.
I'm pretty sure i know that big Lizzie! glad to see she's still hunting!
🤙🤙
Thanks for viewing mate
nice greenback bro, know that spot well only under our current swell is it worth the risk there ...but there are some monster mulloway at that ledge...have been thinking about giving it a run for some longtail if your ever keen to join. another gr8 vid showcasing our backyard :)
Cheers mate, yeah its a sketchy spot to fish, low tide and no swell is the only time I will fish it. Im keen for the longtail once they start showing up in numbers.
Good stuff, great fish
Thanks mate,
@@LoveYakkenit’s me again. Pretty sure I know where this is but definitely keep it a secret if your catching that big of a tailor. Do you think a spinner will still be good as the water is getting colder. Or change because the tailor like warmer water.
Spinners will work fine right through winter for tailor, it's what I mainly use, I don't use hard bodys much in the surf but might now after this session. Cheers.
I appreciate the effort you put into these videos. Well done. Good fish.
@@anthonykhalil70 Thanks Anthony, yes there is a bit that goes into it, but I enjoy the filming, editing and playing with the drone as much as the fishing. Cheers for your comment.
