I have both the 1-3kg and the 2-4kg sticks. Great rods. Super light and depending on the target species and lure size I’m using i choose one or the other. They both come with me on all my yak fishing trips 👍🏼

Thanks George. Ha ha How good is the George’s! Very lucky having two great estuaries so close to home 👍🏼

Yes a great little lure for sure. Thanks Crebo 👍🏼

Thanks Abz., good day out. Looking forward to the warmer Spring weather 👍🏼

Thanks very much 👍🏼

Thanks Abz, yes it’s a clean system. Has been fun using the drone 👍🏼

I’ve had this one for a while. It’s a DJI Mavic 2 pro. Pretty good machine but the newer drones have a longer flight time and other features but this one will do me for now. Has a 1 inch sensor so takes great images 👍🏼

Yes there were some nice fish moving around in that spot. I spooked 2 flathead earlier just going over them in the yak. And there were massive schools of Luderick too. The water was crystal clear 👍🏼

Thanks Adam. Hope to come across a few big girls in Spring 👍🏼

Plenty of good flattie grounds on the Hacking. When I watch the video on my tv I can see loads of Luderick. A pelican swam past and sent a whole stack of them running for cover. 👍🏼

@@mickettingshausen so they’re luderick… they looked big

There are so many Luderick in the Hacking it’s crazy.

Beautiful system the Hacking. National Park on one side so it’s still pristine, especially being in Sydney 👍🏼

Thanks Crebo, as the weather warms up I’m looking forward to chasing more fish on the bent lures. Lots of fun. Launching the drone from the yak is a bit scary, but getting used to it. Love the footage it captures, gives another whole perspective 👍🏼

Yes special when you land them over 1kg 👍🏼

Magic when the weather is like that. Sure say gday 👍🏼

There have been some great captures by various fishos over the winter. A fair few 1kg+ fish have been caught on lures. Not sure how the bait fishos have been going as I mostly follow the Lure scene. Night fishing would be interesting. Probably more of a chance on bait at night 👍🏻

Nice to land a Kega!

A few Flatties on the chew. Spring is in the air 👍🏼

Hacking was crystal clear. Great to land a flattie while the drone was up👍🏼

Lucked it with the drone up

Awesome George. Yes it’s a great place to fish and very protected on a kayak. I Spend plenty of time on the George’s and Hacking River trying my luck on these beautiful waterways. Thanks for saying hi and may see you again next time. Mick 👍🏼

Thanks mate. Nice little session👍🏼

Thanks Crebo. Hope you have been getting plenty 👍🏼

This time of year is real tough

Yes lure fishing in Winter can be tough. Need to be a bit crazy 😂😂 it’s a nice way to spend a few hours on the water 👍🏼

@@mickettingshausen the best time of year to be on the water, with the cooler temperatures, clear water and beautiful skies

Yes the canals offer good cover even with a wind blowing. Fun way to fish in and around tight structures 👍🏼

Cheers Adam. I will be in for some tackle shortly. Short on Cranka Crabs 👍🏼

Yes you would not get me out there! No chance

Thanks for that. The PJ’s come in during winter. They are pretty chilled out 👍🏼

Thanks Craig. Happy to have good viz. Has been a wet winter and not great for diving. Lots of cool critters 👍🏼

Thanks Adam. Right on our doorstep 👍🏼

Was great to get in the water after all the rain 👍🏼

We ended up with a dozen Kings. Got smoked by a few who made it to the reef. Loads of fun 👍🏼

@@mickettingshausen solid bro !! Still to catch a king myself 😭

Will check it out for sure 👍🏼

Lightening!

Thanks mate. Nice to mix it up a bit. Hope you’ve been catching plenty 👍🏼

I have always used Shimano rods and reels. My favourite rods are Anarchy 1-3kg and 2-4kg sticks. Length 6’10”. I have a shorter Raider rod 1-3kg in 6’6” as well. If you want to be able to cast long casts a few of my fishing mates like sticks over 7 feet. I use the Vanford 2500 reels. If I’m fishing for Jew or Kings I usually ramp up everything. Hope this helps 👍🏼

On the Kings I use a Grappler Rod 7’ and 7’3”. Great sticks.

The sea anchor was for a 6-7m boat. Was great 👍🏼

Holt Road Ramp or Whole in the wall ramp are both good 👍🏼

Thanks Mark, yes love time spent on the water. Heading off for a trip with my brother on Sunday for a week up north. Had some cracking fishing trips with my brother over the years. I had a tinnie for years and my two kids grew up in it. On that I used to take a potty for the kids. Simple but effective. On the kayak it is a bit different, and can mean paddling to places that have public toilets. Boat ramps and marinas and parks etc. On the kayak it’s a bit easier for guys, eg an empty bottle carried on board, and sometimes you are fishing in a suburban area so you need to be discreet 😂. Thanks for following my channel 👍🏼

It has been a bit hit and miss in the Mangroves at the moment. But it’s fun fishing when there on 👍🏼

Thanks Adam, have had a few fun sessions. Deathy has helped with heaps with tackle and technique. Always plenty to learn.

Thanks Crebo, there has been a few nice Bream around. Just finding time to chase them. Hope you have been pulling in plenty mate

They are a pretty versatile camera. You can capture things not possible on a normal action camera. I use a 2m adjustable stick and sometimes the shorter 120cm stick. PellKing Long 200cm(78inch) Invisible Selfie Stick for Insta360 ONE X3, X2, X, Insta360 ONE R, RS, Insta 360 Camera 1/4" Extended Monopod Pole Clamp: NEEWER Super Clamp with Stainless Steel Dual Ballhead Magic Arm, Cold Shoe, 1/4" 3/8" Threads for Action Camera. Remote : Insta360 X3 GPS Smart Action Remote I Changed the swivel head to this: www.amazon.com.au/Hotshoe-Rotatable-Aluminum-Monopods-Camcorder/dp/B08BYVK52C/ref=sr_1_51? As you want it to be stable when a wave hits the Yak or something like that. If i were you I would get the new X4 as it has more features and has the lens protectors as that is a key point with these cameras. If you scratch the lens its all over and cannot be repaired. I will update at some point but the X3 does the job for now. If you want quality audio you can use the Go Wireless system. It has a special mount and is still invisible. Or the DJI 2 Mic can connect via bluetooth directly to the camera. Most of the time I capture the audio on my gopro and sync up in post. Hope this helps but if you have any questions let me know. Mick

@@mickettingshausen Thanks for the detailed response Mick! Much appreciated mate. I’m thinking of getting the x4 and luckily I already have the DJI mic 2 that I currently run with my action camera. The plan of style I want to film is to have both the kayak and myself in frame to make it seem like someone else is filming me from another vessel so I think the extended selfie stick will work best. I will check out all the attachments you have listed and see what works best for myself. So I’m assuming the bottom of the selfie sticks have a 1/4” attachment point, that way I can possible get attachments to connect it right to my railblaza mounts, if not I’ll just get a clamp mount to attach to the rails on my PA14. Thanks once again mate! Looking forward to getting different angles with it 👌

@@TheFinesseAngler yes all the selfie sticks come with a standard 1/4inch attachment so that should work with your rail blazer mounts. Good stuff. Look forward to seeing a future video 👍🏼

Thanks Dave, will be giving it a good test run soon 👍🏼

Thanks mate. Yes it should be fun testing in better conditions and marking specific structure on the sounder. Would be fun to capture some nice fish holding on reefs etc so I will see how it goes. Thanks Mick

Thanks for the follow Warren. I’m using an old Ian Miller light spin stick 2-5kg. And on the Bream it’s a Shimano Squidgy 2-4kg stick.

@@mickettingshausen thanks for the quick reply Mick - cheers !

Fun session on the Hobie. We ended up landing 12 and a snapper in a 2 hour session 👍🏼

This was fun Dave. Even the small rats pull your arms off. Loads of fun on a kayak 👍🏼

Yes they’re great. I walk in with thongs on and then when I’m on the yak i just wipe my feet and slide my uggs on. Supper warm and comfy. 👍🏼
