Good evening ImJasonFish. I have been enjoying your videos. It is great to see you catch a fish. You used to say "fish on" which I thought was your catch phrase however I have not heard it in a while. Keep up the good fishing. Cheers
Good evening tReynos1, thank you for leaving a comment and productive feedback. I am sorry for leaving you on the hook. I don't know how to explain it, but its the heat of the moment when you hook up, your reel is screaming, rod is bending and fish is headed straight to Moreton Island - I forget and stumble on my words. Next time I will try my best! Stay Tuned!! 😊
I kayak fish Lake Macquarie. The cold does not deter me but strong southerly winds do. Cold fingers make rerigging more difficult than usual. My wife & I excelled yesterday & caught 1 small Bream each - 20cm tiddlers in Cockle Creek. She is new to kayak fishing & has capsized twice so shallow sheltered water has been her training ground. She caught a 30cm plus Tailor on 30th May but it got off the hook. She didn't have a net at the time. We have remedied that. I was amazed she took her Bream off the hook herself! We will go back to Booragul next time. Good to see you catching quality fish. I haven't caught a flathead since 24th April!! Thanks for sharing.
Hey mate, great to hear from you and super happy the fish are cooperating! 😆 It sounds like your wife is the luckier fisher out of you both. But don't worry, my mum is just that - she out fishes me with her super luck (its ridiculous) 😂😭 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment - tight lines! 👍
Can you give us a catch cook flathead pleasseeee!! Can you also show how you prepare the flathead after catching it and what recipies you use? Great video!
Hey Xavier mate, Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I'll see what I can do, but I reckon I can do a flathead filleting video. I'm pretty good at filleting flathead and I get every little bit of flesh out. Stay tuned!! 😊
Ahh bugger mate. Its usually like that - beautiful day and perfect conditions, but coming out with a donut. I hope you had a nice day out nonetheless 😊 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍
Great vid mate. Its been tough fishing.lol but i could tell in your voice how chuffed you were. Working and fishing is hard but you creating content would be just as hard.
Hey Nenad mate, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. RUclips, filming, editing and content creating is another one of my hobbies and interest. I love it, but let me tell you what the hardest part of it is... finding the right song 🤣🤣😭😭 I can spend hours scrolling and listening to countless of songs trying to find the right one which is not too bouncy, not too hardcore, not too quick, oh the criteria goes on! 😭
Keep these land based videos coming, they’re gold and the locations! Just a couple of questions. I like to get up early and target mainly Bream in the pre-dawn light. What are your preferred tides for targeting 1.Bream and 2.Flathead love catching a Flounder too if they’re around. Hope yr well Jason.
Hey Justin, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I don't have a preferred tide, but I choose my fishing spots to utilise the tides to the best. A high high tide (2.2m+) is good for spots like the groynes of Brighton. But don't bother when the high tide is below 2m (donuts from experience haha). A low tide condenses the fish into a smaller area to fish (if that makes sense). Make sure you check out my other videos for locations, tips and tricks. Enjoy! 😊
Jason where would you launch a kayak from, if the tides up, I'd imigane from where you were, but if it's out, would I have to pull it across the flats, which would be OK on the wheels, I've got, thanks for any info mate, cheers John
Hey again John, I would recommend launching around Pelican Park on the beach front in Contarf. There's a few rocky reefs which look promising. Couldn't tell you as I don't have a boat/kayak haha. Hope this helps 😊
Hey mate, thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍 I use Ocea 10lb fluorocarbon leader. All my fishing setups are in the description in each video. Cheers 🍻
Hi Jason, love your Vids, could you you fish that area in a kayak, is it relatively safe, looks it, I take a mate with me who has a slight disability, he usually fishes land based, so that spot looks safe for both of us, I'd be interested in your thoughts, as we are based in Toowoomba, we woudnt clean all the fish out lol.. Cheers mate
Hey John, yes you can fish the area in a kayak, even around the highway pylons will produce. But the current can be pretty strong. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊
Hi Jason great video mate, often fish that location. In fact heading out there on Thursday. How far up the channel do you go? Or do you fish closer to the bridge end?
Hey Kev, I usually go straight in the middle which is the deepest section. However, sometimes the flatties are lying on the mud flats to the right or more to the mouth on the left. You just got to move between casts and cover as much ground as possible. Hope this helps! Good luck for Thursday, hope the weather turns mint - let me know how you go! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊
@@ImJasonFish thanks mate, will let you know how I go. Had some good luck there last no moon so hoping for much of the same again. Got 5 flatties for the session, 2 keepers and rest were thrown back. Also got a soles as well. Just want to catch a PB, anything in a 50’s or bigger model would be great.
Hey Jason do you walk out form Haysmouth Parade? Last weekend I went on the low tide to the North Pine River trying to get to the channel. I walked out from Brighton Park, but even on the low tide and in knee deep water I was still a good 200m+ away from the channel. How close to you get to the channel at Hays Inlet?
Hey mate, its hard because you can't make a video if you don't catch fish. Plus working full time is killing me - only get to go fishing on the weekends 😆😭 Oh well haha. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍
hey jason just found your channel and was wondering how you take your fish home from jays inlet, i imagine your always on your feet so how do you keep what you catch, thanks heaps for the videos, im gonna try and get into lure fishing to save money on bait and to try something different, hopefully i’ll see you out along the cliffe, tight lines friend
Hey mate, thanks for watching and leaving a comment! You have to be mobile and cover as much ground when flicking lures of the shore. I use a Alvey wading bag to store items and fish I have caught. I also find having a rod spike is very handy to put your fishing rod in when you need two hands to take fish off the hook or tying lures. This is because you don't want to put your fishing rod in the mud and sand! Hope this helps 👍
Hi Jason. 1 question where do ya store ya flathead? Noticed everyone wears backpacks. Do ya put them in a plastic bag after killing them or what? Curious to know... Cheers mate... Was just there fishing this afternoon and almost got one...
Hey mate, I use a wading bag (an old Alvey one to be specific - Aussie made) and chuck the fish in a plastic bag prior. Some people are picky about chucking fish straight into an cool esky - But two hours outside in the wading bag is alright (especially Winter). You can bring an esky but sometimes the tide hasn't fully gone out and it just floats away, plus its a hassle having to pick it up while relocating or moving along the bank to cast. I also recommend bringing a fishing rod spike/holder to put your rod in when re-rigging or tending to fish. Putting your spinning reel on the sand/mud is a big no no - as the sand/mud and salt will get into your fishing reel and stuff it up. Hope this helps - let me know if you have anymore questions, happy to answer. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊
@@ImJasonFish mate thank you for the rod holder tip when re rigging. Didn't think of that And in general thank you for the explanation of the bag. I fish with my house mate so she moves the bucket and tackle box. We will switch to a good old backpack soon now it makes sense. :) be nice to meet ya out there one day
@@ImJasonFish forgot to mention I been using a soft plastic and I thought it was a dud but I did hook up a nice 30cm + yesterday but it got off 2ft away from me.. Was a sad moment. Cheers again. We are buying a small tinnie soon after tax time and gonna drift those low tides. Cannot wait.

Hey mate, thanks for coming back. How cold are we talking about in NZ? Make sure you get back out there!! 👍
@@ImJasonFish lol how cold? 1 week of rain and 2 days on sunshine and 1 week of rain again
Bugger ay 🤣🤣🤣
Nice man I was there this arvo and got zilch. Sometimes it’s like I’m a donut factory. 🍩🍩
Ahh bugger mate. Its usually like that - beautiful day and perfect conditions, but coming out with a donut. I hope you had a nice day out nonetheless 😊 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍

Hey mate, thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍 I use Ocea 10lb fluorocarbon leader. All my fishing setups are in the description in each video. Cheers 🍻
Hey Jason, how deep is it where you’re casting?
Looks to be a bout a metre and a half mate
Hey mate, the middle of the channel I would say is up to 3-4m. It gets pretty deep. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍

Well done mate, my PB is 70cm from the Pine river (check out the video). They are around the place - just got to keep flicking! Tight lines 😊
Hey mate what microphone do you use ?
Hey Jason, would you mind catching up for a fish . I ‘m also Brisbane based . Love your videos, very informative.
Hey Ellen, yeah we can work something out! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

Hey mate, yes, that's right. Park at Haysmouth Parade and walk straight out to the channel (you won't miss it). Hope this helps! 😊
@@ImJasonFish cool thanks 👍 Been doing mostly high tides recently and getting the usual bream and stingrays. Nice to try some lows for flatty.
Good luck mate! Tight lines 😊
Where do you get your measuring ruler from? I have a single one but have the fold out one would be good but can't find it anywhere. Cheers
Hey mate, I got my folding ruler from BCF, but any fishing shop should have one. Maybe try online if you're having trouble 👍
Long time man
Hey mate, its hard because you can't make a video if you don't catch fish. Plus working full time is killing me - only get to go fishing on the weekends 😆😭 Oh well haha. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍
