No worries. Doc Lures talked about fish sight and eyelids etc a few times. I found it interesting what they can see etc. Cheers
Great video. I love how much respect you show towards them. Great video with some terrific tips. Lots of angles and a great range of species shown. I’ve only got my L plates on so this has been a great video to watch. Learnt so much.
Hi mate, thanks so much for the really positive comment. I’m glad that you got some help from the video and enjoyed the content. Good luck with the fishing mate, as tough as it is sometimes it is a great way to pass the time and can be very rewarding ☺️ feel free to reach out if I can help out in anyway. Thanks again
Whats your weight for the boat and trailer mate ? 🤙🏼
Hi mate, she is pretty heavy. Trailer is 500kg and the boat is around 1000kg. There is a lot of boat there though 🤙🏽
@hookin Yeah bloody oath. I'm looking at doing a long trip around Aus also, towing my 5m stacer side console. But mine has a 90hp on the back 😂 which is massive. Was it a pain in the ass or as a keen fisho, worth it haha cheers 🍻
Hey mate great vids. I like how you explain why you've chosen that particular spot on the big lake. A lot of you tubers don't explain why they are fishing where they fish. Just one thing I've been hearing some marine biologist talk about. Fish don't have eye lids. So they may even be in pain sitting there on the boat getting sun in thier eyes. Good thing you use the rag. May be even give thier eyes a rest. I'm subscribing mate. Top stuff cheers. Also what boat hull is that. I'm thinking about upgrading.
Hi mate, thanks for the positive feedback. I really appreciate getting feedback! I’ve never really thought about that eyes of the fish so that definitely makes sense. Some great info thanks. The hull is a reef runner, I do an episode on the boat if you want to have a squizz 👍🏼 thanks again mate
Bonjour Magnifique , à votre avis 😅 , je voudrais intégrer ma plaque chauffante un maximum dans la porte , est-ce-que je peux couper tout , mais que la porte garde de la rigidité ? Merci a vous ❤👍 🇲🇫
Hi mate, Thankyou! I would be cautious of cutting too much out of the door. Great idea though integrating the cooktop into it! Good luck with it mate, sounds like fun!
You local guys definitely know your water. I've been here for a few days now and I'm having trouble getting fish. It's only my second visit to the lake. I fished I think its called green point this morning only for 1 small flathead. Where are these dews and big flathead?
Hi mate, definitely takes time and persistence. Lake Macquarie can be quite the grind! Just need to use your electronics to find the bait or alternatively use birds or natural pressure points to intersect feeding fish pathways 🤙🏽 good luck mate
Sweet vid great starting point to head us in the right direction - thank you
Thankyou mate! I appreciate the feedback. Good luck I hope you find some 🤙🏽
i swear thats lowy in the background ! as you fish in the same cockle bed spot as he does with the 2 powerstation stacks in the background 1 day i will try that spot but atm i fish brisbane waters love your content as well as lowies
Hi Glenn, yeah I think he was out that day. There is a big spread of beds there, and throughout the lake for that matter. Always a good place to target. I’ve never fished Brisbane waters but may head down one day. Appreciate the feedback mate 🍻
There is plenty of fish in the lake just move around until you find something 👍👍👍👍
Yeah that’s the trick mate, sometime some big days driving around!
@ yes mate it’s a hugh lake I would love to be able to fish with you but I’m in Victoria keep searching for the fish you will find them eventually good luck bro 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video mate. What depth are you at when flicking the vibe out?
Usually between 8-9m mate 👍🏼
Good on ya Brian great effort Love the tattoos too they make you look hard
Thanks mate appreciate the feedback 👍🏼
Hi, What is brand, length, cost of landing net you use
Hi mate, the red one is a Berkley. It’s the large one, it retails for around $100 I believe from all the big brand fishing stores.
Finally another video let’s go!!!!!!!
Life very busy mate but yeah trying to keep them rolling in 😊
Good video mate. The drone is great for showing flatties in the shallows. Ha Ha, Willem Powerfish 🤣that was definitely him
Yeah very cool to see them up there. Haha yeah it never ceases to amaze me how some people are oblivious to other fisher people lol Cheers Pete 🍻
Great to see you back champion, can't wait for more adventures
Cheers brother, juggling life and vids proving difficult lol Nice to get out and make them and I very much appreciate the feedback. Thanks mate
How's it sound in the cab?
Yeah she is pretty quiet mate, can still hear a note when you up it a bit though
Strike a bit harder bro😂
Haha
Awesome! I googled ozi salmon & now I'm here. Hooked one off a jetty up fishing point facing Wangi, with the kids rod using prawns, 2 hooks & no sinker, threw it out & the second it hit the water bang! I'm on, thing takes off rips the top half of the rod out, got it back together, reeled it in & my 7yo son & he's m8 had never seen a big fish like that b4 with a blue/greenish color. Tried to get it in the net & he's flicked out the hook & took off like a rocket. Im interested to know at night what fish I can hear jumping out of the water? & splashing like U threw a big rock in the water. Is it mullet or salmon?
Haha awesome mate, spewing you didn’t land it. But I’m sure you both were buzzing over that experience. Very cool You came across that Channel and I hope you are enjoying the videos. They would be mullet jumping mate, come afternoon and into the evening they love launching out the water lol Thanks for sharing your experience and apologies for the late reply. 👍🏼
hi mate what about fuel economy after tuning your troopy are u getting the same fuel eco or higher tnx
About the same mate tbh, obviously more when you need or want to use the power it increases. Generally speaking I will get 12litres per 100kms avg it goes up to 18 when I have the 2t boat on the back. Not bad. Cheers mate
Agree with the windscreen box😂 I had mine replaced a week ago and now have another chip already 😭😂
Aww bugger that’s annoying, I think they are pretty prone to it. May have something to do with the angle? Unsure, hopefully it’s not in your field of vision and you can hold off for a bit 🫤
great search!! nice work LIKE
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey mate, nice drone work👍You're definitely not on your own with the hooks pulling. It happened to me 3 times this morning (with vibes too).... maybe I wont put it in the video though🤣 Good luck with the PB
Cheers Pete, it’s good catching some nice moments with the drone. Makes the effort worthwhile when it works. Still have all my fingers so far lol. Yeah I know, it’s not uncommon for them to shake loose but geez there was a few dropped that day haha
Bro Are you using snap instead of split ring then loop nott aswell .ps.lakemac. rules Darren
We have those days when we can't seem to set a hook Ya not alone Ben, becomes frustrating for me when i drop them Still some nice fish caught
Cheers Stevo, yeah I know it happens. Hurts when you know it was a good one lol
Goodonya Brian another sexy edit Rig the soft placcies with a stinger hook rig with a treble underneath to increase hook up rates. Your welcome
Cheers brother, love the Mrs pittful’s tips. Taken on board mate. Watch this space 😅

Big Tailor
Yeah I’d say so mate, some big rigs lurking around 👍🏼
Bro that looks incredible I subscribed!
Cheers brother 👍🏼
Hey mate does your sun visor whistle at all
Nah not really mate, haven’t noticed it put it that way 👍🏼
Big paddle tail plastics for the trophy flatties. Solid session though!
Yeah they can be deadly mate 👌🏽 cheers
Nice work man was it a straight forward bolt in that sun visor
Cheers brother, little tricky as the standard brackets don’t allow for the chrome trim. You just have to Elongate the holes a bit and it bolts up ok. 👍🏼
which mm wire
Gotta love the c12, does the certate make all your other reels feel terrible?
Haha yeah, they are definitely next level.
Farkkk moi Brian, fishing heavy for the lake but whatever works. Also I love how you refer to your tackle as supple Happy 21st bday by the way
Thanks mate 🫶
Slick edit, as per usual!!
Cheers brother 🫶
Those salmon certainly are a bit of fun on the lighter gear Ben Cheers on the run down of the setups you use, always interesting know what others like, use & how they find them, good & bad. I build & repair rods, interesting how one of Ian's guide train is rusting up even after looking after them. If your rods ever need something done always happy to help a fellow fisho in need I'll send you a msg soon Cheers Stevo
Cheers Stevo, I’ll definitely sing out if in need mate. Yeah bloody fun mate for a bit of a change through winter ☺️
Great videos. I live on the southern end of the lake and recently got a boat so hopefully i start catching fish soon.
Nice mate, lots of options and good ground down south. I haven’t see a lot of it either. You’ll probably see me exploring at some point 👌🏽
Looki for president
Haha
Awesome drone footage of you casting, salmon put up a reasonably good fight. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience
No probs mate, I’m enjoying it ☺️ Yeah bit of a mission trying to juggle boat, wind, chase the school and have the drone in the right spot! Haha appreciate the feedback mate. 🤙🏽
Great video and great workmanship. Funny how everyone freaks out drilling a hole but gladly cut the whole roof of. 😊
Haha thanks mate, yeah there is no shortage of holes through this thing 😂 and roof is gone lol. Such a versatile vehicle now though it’s great.
Hey mate can see you were using the 455 setting when do you use the higher setting for do you leave it on 455 and what does the higher setting achieve thanks
Hi Jordo, leave that one with me. I generally don’t fiddle with the settings. Might have a suss though and if I have some constructive feedback I’ll let you know 🤙🏽
@@hookin too easy mate i just got a hds pro the imagine I was getting on the higher setting was unreal but I thought there might off been a reason you had it on 455 anyway great video would love to see anyther one like this with more time showcasing what schools off jew look like on the sidescan mate and where to cast once you find them looking on the distance guide on the bottom off the screen would be sick thanks mate
Nice session. What gear and what lures are you using
Hi Dave, nice question. Vid coming out on Friday with a run down ☺️ hope you enjoy. Any further questions mate please comment and I’d be happy to answer.
Good job mate it’s not easy to go out target a Jewfish on lures for a video and get one. I can usually do it no problem live baiting. Good short video
Cheers Dave, it’s nice when a plan comes together! I generally don’t target jew in the lake for that reason! But I have caught a few like that now using this technique. Enjoying your vids too brother, watching one right now! 👍🏼
Great video mate, I’ve been using side scan so much more in my last 3 outings it’s definitely had a positive impact. Can’t wait for the next video
Cheers brother, it’s a bloody game changer isn’t it!? Really helps understand what’s going on down there 👍🏼
Good vid man , cheers for the advice. I’m going to have to try this in the Swan River in Perth 🤙🏻🍻
Awesome mate, yeah use it for sure. It really takes things to the next level 👍🏼
Love your work Brian Sucks about how you have to work as a male nurse on night shift.
Cheers Brad, it’s all good brother. Someone’s got to do it!
@@hookin gday Brian, not sure who Brad is but thanks for the reply anyway
Nurses are hot
Great video mate love the info on the sounder , somtimes we dont utilise them enough when were out on the water
Good info Ben, What i got out of it is, I need a new sounder, been telling Lowy for ages i've gotta get one Good luck with the misses fella Cheers
Haha cheers mate, yeah I’m not holding my breath! She see’s all the comments as well, so the more comments recommending I replace it may help 🤣🤣
@@hookin 😂❤ It Ben
Did you have to go with the $2500 torquit exhaust to make it fit?
Didn’t have to mate, could’ve just cut the muffler out and put a straight pipe in 🤷🏽 But it’s good quality and off the shelf dpf back which was compatible with tank, so made sense for me
@@hookinawesome! Which exhaust?
Ripper info,what was the tide doing when you were fishing.?
7/8/24 all yours brother 😅 🤙🏽
Run in or out going.I should have been a bit clearer with my question..never fished Lake Macquarie or caught a Jew fish..have holidays at the end of the month. Keep up the great videos.👍👍
Hi John, nah the question was clear. Just wanted you to work for the answer haha It was running out mate heading towards the lower side. I hope you enjoy your holidays mate and come up tight with a jew 😊 feel free to reach out mate if I can help with anything else 👌🏽 Ben
