It’s a really old slow pitch jigging rod Storm Adajo AJS631-1

@@bradleyseeto thanks. Did u install the Newport motor in the transom ?

Thanks for your feedback. Depending of the type of fish I would either steam, pan fry or batter in panko crumbs. But for snapper I simply steam and fry.

Thanks for dropping by! A kingfish would have been a great catch, did he land it? As for dough I just use plain flour and water. Simply add 1 heaped tablespoon of flour to 1 level tablespoon of water. I find this ratio works perfectly.

Thanks. I'll try float fishing from the Kayak in the lake. It should work well

No he didn't land it but it was a monster.

What a shame, would have been tough given there's so much structure around

I have only ever owned one kayak and it's this brand and model which is a Hobie Outback 2019 model so I don't have a broad enough experience to recommend other brand or models. I am satisfied with my choice as I believe this kayak is very suitable for inshore and offshore fishing.

@@bradleyseeto i like the outback as well. thanks for your time !!

Yea I’m not a pro when it comes to filleting I know only one speed at that’s slow

@@bradleyseeto But you do a really good job of it, so well worth the wait for a nice fish.

Thanks

Good luck

😂 yea I know

I’m sure you would have easily completed 6. Gotta start somewhere, I’ve improved a lot since this was published but just haven’t bothered to make an updated video.

yea this fish is not for everyone due to the amount of bones

It's clean firm tasting flesh compared to kingfish or tuna. It's definitely one of my favourites but just tricky to remove the skin is one pass sometimes.

Hmm ok.. I'll have to have a try this summer. Thanks!

Glad it helped

Can be either, but the preference is stand alone battery as you don't want to risk flattening the crank battery, not unless you have the engine constantly on.

I used to always scale, gut and then fillet when I started fishing. But these days it really depends on how you plan to eat the fish. For example if you plan to dry age the fish for sashimi, it's usually done as a whole fish. So I scale, gut and leave in the fridge for a few days. Another benefit of doing this is when you're filleting you don't get scales, blood and gut juice all on the exposed flesh. If I plan to cook the fillets then just fillet the sucker with guts and scales on. Also the head of the fish is often used for fish soup or stock. So there is minimal wastage. There is no right and wrong way just different amounts of effort for what you want to achieve. This video was made many years ago and over time I have slowly changed my methods of processing fish.

actually just saw it was pe2.5 👍

@@MrGavo1978 Pe 2.5 on the electric but I do bring the Ocea Jigger 2000 which is running pe1.7

@bradleyseeto nice - is manual winding a punish? Lol

Absolutely agree with you there, gotta start somewhere and experiment and then make improvements over time. I'm much better at it now, well I think I am! I just haven't bothered to make an updated video.

Slipperiest sucker I've every worked on. Will try to remove the slime next time before filleting.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip

or just pour hot water on it for a few seconds

Great suggestion thanks

Never tried John Dory but I’ve heard it’s better than Mirror Dory

@@bradleyseeto it is amazing, no fishy taste just perfect.

@@bradleyseetoGemfish are pretty tasty too. Got a nice catch mate.!

Oh the knife is sharpened before any filleting session. The issue is the fish is so damn slippery even on this Hasegawa cutting board.

It's ok can't really fault it's my first electric reel so I don't have anything else to reference. I think it could fit 600m or PE3 but you would have to pack it on really tight.

About 600m from memory on the LeoBritz. If you're deep dropping with 2kg weights I wouldn't use pe 2.5. For jigging pe2.5 is more than acceptable, I have also used pe 1.7 on the Ocea Jigger 2000 without issues paired with 600-700g jigs. The advantage of running such light line is the minimal resistance compared to thicker line and its able to maintain a more vertical position which prides better contact feel

Is this reel any good?

Thanks, I wouldn't say I have mastered it but slowly improving with practice. Recording this helps me remind myself what to do and what not to do.

Thanks for dropping by. There is a FB group but it's not very active, called "Deep Jigging Australia"

I have a lithium battery which comes with the motor, It's a Torqeedo Ultralight 403 electric motor which is equivalent to 1Hp. It doesn't state what pound thrust but the battery will last all day on water depending on how hard you push the motor. At half throttle I'm already at 75% top speed, so going full throttle will only get you a fraction more speed which isn't worth it.

Well done, what other fish did you manage to catch?

Thanks

North Harbour Sailing Club. But I've been told you can also do a beach launch at Forty Baskets Beach but haven't tried as my kayak is a bit too heavy to drag over sand.

@@bradleyseeto thanks. I once launch mine at Little Manly beach and there is a boat ramp there.

Thanks

We will never know if it survived or died from barotrauma, either way it was returned as quickly as possible.

yea that particular day was pretty sloppy. No I don't take anything as I got my sea legs when I was a kid fishing with my dad. Lots of fond memories throwing up over the side of the boat!

@@bradleyseeto 🤣 oh yes, I don't throw up anymore thankfully.... the rough stuff just makes me nauseous till I get back on land

Storm Adajo AJS631-1. It's just a boat slow jigging rod

I also have the boondox and loved it until the weight got too much and started to bulge underload. So I have retired it and now using the railblaza c-tug R. You probably don't want to hear this but I personally wouldn't use it, not unless you are really careful with how much weight is placed on it. I even created a larger custom backing plate to fit into the kayak to spread the load but even then it just couldn't handle it. So it was safer just to convert over to the c-tug r and not have any worries. Hobie really need to start innovating as the scupper carts were great at the time, now everyone carries a lot more gear and you'll see more scupper cracks in the forums. The horizontal bar on the ctug R does a great job in distributing the load. I have a torqeedo 403 electric motor which came with a large battery that will last all day if you don't go full throttle constantly. Expensive unit but I can't see myself fishing without it.

live yakka and herring/pilchards

I use these straps share.temu.com/dsD3jjXGyIA

ALR thanks, but whee do you hook the clip onto the rod

@@srduckyoce1084ahh yes I use a thin Velcro strap prob about 1cm wide and wrap a stainless steel key ring around the rod. I make sure the Velcro isn’t on too tight to allow it to slide up and down the rod butt. Also make sure you have atleast one wrap around the rod before securing the key ring to avoid scratches.

1/0 hooks

Unfortunately I won't be able to remember this! My guess less than 1m.

@@bradleyseeto allgood bro. Keen to give it a crack offshore that’s all haha

It's a Storm Adajo PE1 slow jigging rod. It's an old model which isn't made anymore.

Yes squid can be caught, but not consistently

Were did you launch from what area is that what pound line are you useing there

oh wow please atleast take me out to dinner first! :)

@bradleyseeto ok dinner first then your secret spots haha

Nice catch bro.. are the kings around in the winter?

Thanks but I wouldn't call myself good, just lucky sometimes. Firstly you need to find the fish on the sounder and they try various lures. For vertical jigging I'm just using a 150g lure and just pause every so often. They can be found sometimes hanging in shallow waters 12-15m so you don't need to jig that fast. If they don't take the vertical, I'll switch to slow jigs. When they are picky they'll only take live squid or cuttlefish.

Awesome. Do you come through the bridge sometimes or just stay on the up side ?😂

more wrecks to explore on the upside
