glad you found it helpful and the comment encourages me to keep doing it. I often forget to say the details and it's fun trying to edit random product pictures I find online when I am trying find links for the products too
Thanks Buzz! hopefully the videos get you pumped for a fish! there will hopefully be more coming.... But I probably need to actually catch something first :)
Thanks :) i think its pretty useful and easy to add after the fact... but when it comes to choice I am gown to my last pack of jigs!! lucky flatties will eat anything off the bottom
Mate just came across your channel, luv it mate! Great content, especially I'm a northshore local and u r going to the same places as me, just have way better luck and skill than me
Thanks! hopefully I will see you around! Hopefully I give you some ideas about places to try or how to fish. I'm not an expert and literally taught myself watching other sydney fishing channels (like Shroom and Fmimf) BUT after fishing for about two years, going home without catching something has become rare!
i think if you go closer to deli road it becomes Perch and Aussie Bass central... I am yet to try that myself yet though! and summer has Pelagics closer to the heads so I couldnt bring myself to miss the opportunity now that the water is warming up
@@cballzoutdoors yep, nice trip up river , just 4 knots would take a long while to drive da boat, I cannot walk great distances as my knees are arthritis ridden. EDIT, Ive been to look at Dehli rd, a few shore spots in the brackish that got good hits, but up in the fresh you really need a kayak, or hire one of the pedal boats. Not many shore spots as I went for a car drive and had a good look. If I fresh water from shore, its Inner Parramatta river fresh (just up from brackish, and I did feature a video of me fishing there , hint hint ;D) , otherwise I head to nepean, but with the amount of rain, and extra water flow, its been difficult to get a fish, and even from shore can be really productive as there is logs and trees in the river, if you can get to cast a line at them, they surely would have a fish or two. But a kayak would help as they are a bit easier to launch than a boat :D . The pelagics seem slower to roll in this year as Ive found from others, even live bait has been on holidays, so I will not be chasing big stuff till probably mid summer.
Thank you! technically no, there was major pollution clean up in Rhodes a few years ago and fisheries strongly recommends against it. People I know do it and they seem healthy and happy though
I’m going to fish here tmrw morning at 6:00. I’m using the same lure as you and everything. What retrieval method do you recommend? Also it’s gonna be high tide. Would that change anything?
Depends on leader size, knott and guide size. A uni to uni sucks and gives you windknotts and guide wrap. The slim beauty is much better, and the fg is king. If you have issues I would try a combo of lighter leader and better casting knott. E.g. if you have a 2-4kg knott use equivalent leader, like 8-15lb
Great video! Where do you launch the yak on Lanecove river mate? I’ve been looking into fishing the spot on my kayak and thought walking down from Pittwater Rd at sugar loaf point but if there’s a closer spot to the water, I’d love to know.
The Pitwater side is not as accessible, if you have a cart you have lots of options but you can launch from figtree Bridge, cart through the bushes at Blackman or launch from rotary oval pontoon. Personal preference is figtree because between figtree and Blackman is my favourite section to fish with lots of big flats and drop off's
both are pretty much the same from a profile perspective. you -just need to figure out the head and hook. 1/8 to 1/4 - 3/0 or 4/0 are good, if its windy maybe a bit heavier
@@Huh-zk4so whenever I can, but you need to consider tide. Too high and you will get way to wet, and in winter you end up getting too cold to last long.
OK, so really depends on how heavy your yak is, and if you have a pedal drive. If you have a pedal drive, Riverview boat ramp is the easiest. otherwise at rotary oval there is a kayak pontoon here goo.gl/maps/9QfCB2Axuehmr7sS9 which is easy to roll a kayak to, but can be incredibly busy with the kayakers exercising on the weekend mornings. you could also launch at figtree bridge but it's a bit harder to get your yak down some stairs and through mud.
@@jackz5846 oh! if it inflatable you could probably just carry it straight to the water at blackman park. I was expecting you to have something 20kg+ which becomes a bit unwieldy
Striker 4 plus. Make sure you get the one with gps and I think the 4+ cv is probably the way to go now which has down scan. I recommend it as a first sounder. I have been fishing it really hard and only now after years do I want to upgrade to something with side scan
I always run a braid mainline to maximise cast distance, then ill use Fluro Carbon leader tied with uni to uni knot or FG depending on if I'm lazy or not. I also use mono leader, just depends on what looks good at the shops AND its way cheaper

haha... going to the spot is a punish (to most people apparently) so I love when I run into people down there covered in mud. and no, I dont. lane cove can be particularly nasty with rain run off etc. and in general I feel like Harbour fish have an unlimited go home free pass.
I love the pop up lure selection it's super helpful and more people should do it (it earned my subscription)

Solid vid mate, love ya style
Thanks Peter, I have a lot of fun fishing and I'm glad I can share some of my fun :)
ah, the famous Lane Cove river, although ive fished it for a few years now, im yet to really explore more, but yes, its flathead central .
i think if you go closer to deli road it becomes Perch and Aussie Bass central... I am yet to try that myself yet though! and summer has Pelagics closer to the heads so I couldnt bring myself to miss the opportunity now that the water is warming up

@@davesboatingfishing ahh the sand bar's as well make navigation and tides difficult too!
Most important question, any jet ski’s!!!???
@@nava272 nope😁. Not allowed on Parra, lane cove rivers or Sydney Harbour including middle harbour.
Very good fishing man
Glad you enjoyed
Great work mate
Thanks Volrion 👍 to date my favourite video :)
Loved this vid. Subbed!
I'm glad :) I have a lot of fun fishing so I'm happy i can share
Went there today really muddy but managed to pick up my pr flatty around 57
Awesome! it gets a bit dirty in the mangrove but at least you get the place to yourself! great catch and congrats
Great video and new subscription. Is fish safe to eat in this river?

Hey mate, awesome content. I was just wondering if you ever experienced any issues with casting leader knots through the Daiwa RZ rod guides?
Depends on leader size, knott and guide size. A uni to uni sucks and gives you windknotts and guide wrap. The slim beauty is much better, and the fg is king.
If you have issues I would try a combo of lighter leader and better casting knott. E.g. if you have a 2-4kg knott use equivalent leader, like 8-15lb

@michaelkerley6231 make sure you say g'day if you see me out there!
CBallz the flatty slayer!
You were my first subscriber and you are special to me michael
I am going to go soon, is a Zman Grubz 3.5inch bloodworm good?
Or should I get the Swimmerz shiner?
both are pretty much the same from a profile perspective. you -just need to figure out the head and hook. 1/8 to 1/4 - 3/0 or 4/0 are good, if its windy maybe a bit heavier

@@cballzoutdoors I got the aquaglide drop stitch ones. Still pretty heavy got a trolley for longer distances.
what bushwalk do you go through to get to this spot?
Go to Blackman Park and you cannot miss it. The spot is the entire side of the river
Nice vid. That’s the garmin striker 4? I’m thinking of getting the same, would you recommend it?
Striker 4 plus. Make sure you get the one with gps and I think the 4+ cv is probably the way to go now which has down scan.

@wbromfield I have an fpv 7ah.
Very happy 😊😊😊
Bro are u using mono or braid
I always run a braid mainline to maximise cast distance, then ill use Fluro Carbon leader tied with uni to uni knot or FG depending on if I'm lazy or not. I also use mono leader, just depends on what looks good at the shops AND its way cheaper
