Hello Jade Moon, and nice to hear from you again, yes it is a very nice beach and you would enjoy having a fish there. I now wish I had done a little bit more panning around with the camera for you, next time I will where ever I am. I had a look at Vermont it looks like a very nice place to be. All the best and stay tuned.......David.
Nice one mate, It’s always nice to get a feed of fresh fish! Funny about the Salmon swallowing the two baits, had the same happen to me over Yorkes while fishing for Whiting! I hope I get a chance to get down there some day soon, just need the planets to align at the moment! 😂
Howdy Chris thanks mate and nice to hear from you, I saw that greedy whiting you caught funny when you catch a fish thats eaten both baits. Well hopefully them planets line up for you soon and you can get back out and do some more filming mate. Tight lines to you.
Hi mate thank you, tonight we are having fish cakes we love them we are excited and drooling you may have seen the video with me making them. I will see what I can do in the future. Im determined to get my next videos up for you guys hopefully the next won't be to far away......Cheers David
Good to see you back again there Dave. I’m over in Perth and after a knee replacement I’m getting back into fishing. I have a great boat but rocking around is not what I’m after just now. After watching your vids I’ve made my own berley springs and rigs like yours and have even just ordered a penn prevail 10 ft 30-120g rod for my collection. I’ll be out there Wednesday giving it a shot so fingers crossed. Tight lines and stay safe.
Thanks Bryan and hope your knee is much better soon after your opp, yes rocking around in a boat won't help it. Thanks for watching my vids and I think you might enjoy using the springs, them pen prevail fishing rods are very nice perfect when a bit of strength is needed, yes fingers crossed you do ok on Wednesday be nice trying though. Tight lines and stay safe to you too mate.
Thanks Jimmy Mc, good to hear from you again mate yes I'm still kicking sometimes I wonder why maybe I'm related to a Duracell battery just keep on going Ha Ha. Thanks for commenting and I shall do my best to keep the videos coming.....Cheers David
Great stuff David, I really look forward to your videos. I made one of your burley springs over the weekend and used it this afternoon- caught my first salmon. Fish cakes tomorrow night! Keep on keeping on mate. Cheers
Thats Awesome Matt well done you, we are having fish cakes tonight I'm so excited and now drooling talking about them we love them hear and I do hope you do too (I think you will). I will keep on keeping on thank you.
Hi Martin, really good to hear from you mate yes I remember that day it was a good day out with good company and funny when you said can you believe it I'm all ready subscribed, I did end up uploading the video you are a star. yes mate I'm doing ok and I hope all is good with you too. All the best and we may meet again......Cheers Martin.......David
Good to see you back Dave, very nice and relaxing to watch after a stressful day at work. You are a bit tougher than me Dave, bit cold for me to go fishing. I'll wait another couple of months maybe.
Thanks Averell, and nice to hear you enjoyed the video and it helped you unwind. No worries I will get some more stuff up for you to watch till then mate.......Cheers David.
Hi Dave, great to see you again. After a hard days work around the house, I sat down in my shed with a beer and looked at my phone and you've posted a new vid! Perfect timing. Loved the vid too👍
always good to watch your vids David. im actually going up to waitpinga at the end of this month because of your vids, ive never been aus salmon fishing but im keen for it
@@niblex5781 Hi mate, thats funny yes I have never minded getting covered in a little blood and guts. I have got a part one of a video I'm doing and I have written on the screen Covered in burley as usual ha ha. When you head out fishing Try and copy me I'm sure you will, and fish where the waves aren't breaking that is the deeper water I mention that on a few of my videos, the area I'm fishing in this video is good with deep water close to shore so head down that way its roughly 100metres or so down the beach. Hope you get 1 or 10 let me know how you get on.
@@niblex5781 G'day mate hope your fishing has been going ok, just thought I would let you know there are a lot of salmon trout also some bigger fish at waitpinga there are some nice gutters and a nice spot in front a little bit to the right of the first car park.
Hi Mark good to hear from you again mate and thanks mate, its nice that you would like to catch up for a fish but these days I'm a grab my moments fisherman and it gets a bit hard arranging fishing with other fishos, maybe one day, nice to be asked though.
Great to see Dave. I've certainly learnt from you. Made my own sinkers and berley springs and rigged 1/0 hooks after watching your videos. Had success the last 2 visits there. Been waiting for the right time soon to get back to Waits. I need to learn to read gutters better though I think. Been making your tommy rigs this afternoon.
Hi Kevin, thats good to hear thanks for telling me. the tide when I got there was running out, low tide was roughly 5-30 I think which is good because it makes it easier to cast into the deeper water. reading the beach will improve over time with every fish you catch. I shall have to have a better talk about that on a future video. hope you get chance to head out soon again Kevin.... Cheers David
Hi Christopher thanks mate, it was nice to get down onto beach for a fish. Wednesday will be ok it probably will rain but if you have a rain coat you will be fine the wind shall be from the north west windy but not to bad I recon, there are a lot of fish there at the moment so if you can go, go and let me know how you went. Tight lines Cheers.......David
Hi David, Always like to watch your videos. I am a newbie from northern suburb. Wish I could come with you for a session and get some fishing tips from you :)
Hi michaeljomon, nice to hear you enjoy watching my videos, thank you for watching. I do have a few people mention they would like to come for a fish with me, its a privilege to be asked and that all you guys would like to have a fish with me, my problem is life style its hard to organise fishing I have to go spurr of the moment when time, tides and weather all come together and just go. I guess allot of us are in the same boat. Keep watching for more tips and you may bump into me one day and say G'day. All the best and happy fishing.....David.
Thank you Fatih, yes its been a while I shall keep getting some videos done slowly but surely, especially getting these comments I'm getting they sure do give me the push along you are all so nice......Cheers mate...David
G'day mate how you been, yes for sure especially for mulloway. Good to hear from you again, you may have seen I let people know your way from your dad on fixing a snooded hook onto your trace dropper loop, thanks for that and good fishing mate.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 good thanks. You had some nice weather for fishing there and a great feed! I love a whole thick salmon fillet with just fried in butter with a bit of salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon. Such an underrated fish.
@@rustic35 it was nice down there, the way you enjoy them sounds nice fried in butter I shall try that, I sometimes put a small amount on a saucer in a freezer bag and microwave 30-40 seconds and put between 2 bits of bread and tomato sauce, nice quick yummy sandwich. yes so underrated. All the best mate.
Hey mate, the worst thing about your video is that I wasn't in it catching those tasty fish with you. I'm looking forward to catching a few at maslins as soon as I get the time. Maybe a few sand crabs too. Thanks for the entertainment mate, keep up the good work.
Thanks mate, maslins very good beach think about it a few times was it a good mullet run down there this year, we use to do really well in front of the bottom car park, fished with my dad on there a few times back in the late 70s it was so good stoped fishing down that way 1990 when I moved to breed maggots. Time can be a problem ahhh sure can, when we get fishing we sure do love it, are you the person who put me onto the crab traps which I haven't tried yet I will one day, if not its on youtube, they sure are tasty them sand crabs. Yes I will keep plugging along with my movies its fun....Cheers David
Nice to watch all your informative videos david and nice to know we have a local fishing expert here in south Australia, and in looking forward to try waitpinga beach this weekend, just wondering if i can order some of your burley springs with weight..😃😃😃
Hi Den Son, nice to hear you have been watching and enjoying the videos thank you. This weekend will be a bit rough at waitpinga but if keen always worth a try with experience gained fishing in the rough. Monday next week is better and Tuesday the best day (North wind). You will have to have a got at making the burley springs and sinkers you will enjoy it. :)
@@denson2690 you have a very good chance there are quite a few smaller fish also some bigger ones, I saw a nice photo the other day of a nice bag of fish, find yourselves a gutter and away you go. All the best and tight lines. I think Sunday might be the better day.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 lookimg forward Saturday as thats my highest chance of day fishing heheh and planning to get to your squidding spot wirrina cove, or any good spot nearest there?
I was there yesterday! Couldn't have asked for better weather, I was in a T-shirt all day. Calm water, crystal clear sunshine, not a breath of wind it was very weird to see Waitpinga like that. Of course everyone else had the same idea, the main car park was over-flowing, mostly surfers. No big fish to be found but plenty of legal salmon trout were caught by all it seems.
G'day Sam, it has calmed down finely I don't live far away and i look at the beach quite a lot and it was so rough during the week have you noticed the creek its starting to burst at the seems the rain this week might be enough to break it through to the sea, it will be quite a sight I might try to video it and upload for a look. All the best mate.
Thanks matey, hope you are going well and I caught a few fish so I'm glad you have left me some. Thanks you for commenting, always nice to hear from you.
Got a couple of mid 40cm’s salmon up the east end of of Waitpinga on tiny #12 hooks with 1/4 of a pippy... lots of little sand whiting, bunch of trouties and occasional sweep
Hi Dylan, awesome caught a couple of nice salmon first trip to Waitpinga well done and nice to hear you used my rig, they are nice aren't they. Thank you for saying Dylan and future tight lines to you. Nice beach isn't it.
Good to hear from you mate. Yeah we’ve had it bad here, just getting over it now we’ve got the Indian virus, lots of folk had the jabs so death rate has come right down, so thats a good. I’m missing early mornings catching squid, salmon tommies and gar ive said it before your very fortunate to do what you do. How’s your old cat?
Hi Bob, yes you guys have had it bad, I think they have handled it well over hear, yes you are right we are very fortunate over hear I often think how lucky we are. Australia is our oyster. Mitzy our cat is doing fine she is amazing really, she is nearly 21 now and still plays and meows heaps for her nibbles, I have a video filleting a flathead with her you shall see it one day. All the best Bob and you and your family stay safe mate......Cheers David
Gday mate thought you had given the you tube away ,12 months since your last venture down to waits i think the fish were a bit bigger then probably a good time to go everyone has gone out of town .
Hi mate good to hear from you again, I'm still plugging along with the youtube. Wow time flies we can't idel around to much or time will be gone. yes I chose a good day to go fishing the beach was empty just about. Stay tuned there will be some more videos. All the best crispernator.
Ripper video David ! Would I be correct in assuming they are destined for the smoker ? It has been difficult to get out on the beach here in Sydney , it is either dead flat or 5m swells with 40kph winds and flogging down rain .
Hi Ian, thank you. No smoker for these they will be fish cakes, beer battered and natural with a bit of stuff in the frying pan very nice, hope you manage to get out eventually that weather can get in the way sometimes. i'm working on catching a snook for a watch and then smoke it I hope I can get out and make that one reality sooner rather than later.
Hi Ruben thanks mate, my Snyder glass is a FT 4120, 30-70gm I broke my old one and managed to find this one at beta Price Grange Rd brand new still with tag and in plastic sleeve, as Kylie Minouge would say "I could be so lucky".
Hi John, we call these fish salmon trout they are young Australian salmon they aren't related to the real salmon just look similar, yes they do look a bit like yaka we also catch yaka over hear we also call them "chow". Thanks for watching John.........David.
Hi again Dylan, my fishing rod in this video is a Snyder Glass 4120 fast taper 10 and a half feet long they are not available any more unfortunately, I do have another rod kind of similar and thats a Penn Prevail 10ft long, cast weight 30-120gm its very nice too, because the deep gutters are a lot of the time not to far out to cast to at Waitpinga also the big waves are out along way we can use shorter surf rods down there.
Hi Pavel, yes there are some beautiful places here in SA. Hope every thing goes to plan for you and you can get back here and back onto Waitpinga beach which has been fishing fairly well lately. Cheers and all the best. David
Hi Tim thanks mate, yes I have done a lot of lure fishing even off the end of port jetty over the reef in days gone by, love it when the fish are on have done lots down Waitpinga the trouble was though if the fish weren't to be found I went home with no fish but when using bait and some burley I found the fishing a bit more reliable for me and a feed of fish. I do love lure fishing there is nothing like that strike often when you are not expecting it, I have got something to show when I get round to it, you may have all ready seen or maybe not.Tight lines Tim.....David
G'day mate good to hear from you again how you going, no i only use fresh pilchards the only reason why is that they are bloodier and smellier if fish are sparse I've always caught more fish on a fresh pilchard but when there are plenty around it doesn't really matter but I stick to fresh just in case. Thanks for your comment mate.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 I am doing well thanks just got back from Elliston. Largest salmon we caught was 4kg. Price money for the largest is $2000.00. I used fresh pilchards/human grade. I used your method of putting the hooks into the bait with a half hitch was excellent for hook ups. Please consider doing a how to salt pilchards vid. All the best. Your vids are always great to watch.
Hi there, I break the head half off just to make the pilchard bait smaller to suit my 2 x 1\0 hooks, the head half is then usually squeezed into my burley spring or used as another bait.
Always interesting to watch you fish ,big or small ,never tiring and listening, great video David, keep them coming 😊!
Great videos, your so natural and real. Easy to watch
Thanks Mike.
A feed is a feed. A nice catch. Keep the videos coming
It sure is Wayne, and yes not to shabby and will do slowly but surely....Cheers mate.

Great to see Dave. I've certainly learnt from you. Made my own sinkers and berley springs and rigged 1/0 hooks after watching your videos. Had success the last 2 visits there. Been waiting for the right time soon to get back to Waits. I need to learn to read gutters better though I think. Been making your tommy rigs this afternoon.
Hi Kevin, thats good to hear thanks for telling me. the tide when I got there was running out, low tide was roughly 5-30 I think which is good because it makes it easier to cast into the deeper water. reading the beach will improve over time with every fish you catch. I shall have to have a better talk about that on a future video. hope you get chance to head out soon again Kevin....
Cheers David
Great to see a new video from you Dave that was an awesome day fishing I might go down on Wednesday but I think it's going to rain😁
Hi Christopher thanks mate, it was nice to get down onto beach for a fish. Wednesday will be ok it probably will rain but if you have a rain coat you will be fine the wind shall be from the north west windy but not to bad I recon, there are a lot of fish there at the moment so if you can go, go and let me know how you went. Tight lines Cheers.......David
Hi David, Always like to watch your videos. I am a newbie from northern suburb. Wish I could come with you for a session and get some fishing tips from you :)
Hi michaeljomon, nice to hear you enjoy watching my videos, thank you for watching. I do have a few people mention they would like to come for a fish with me, its a privilege to be asked and that all you guys would like to have a fish with me, my problem is life style its hard to organise fishing I have to go spurr of the moment when time, tides and weather all come together and just go. I guess allot of us are in the same boat. Keep watching for more tips and you may bump into me one day and say G'day. All the best and happy fishing.....David.
Welcome back mate. It's been a while. A nice day for fishing and relaxing. Good on ya.
Thank you Fatih, yes its been a while I shall keep getting some videos done slowly but surely, especially getting these comments I'm getting they sure do give me the push along you are all so nice......Cheers mate...David
Long strips of squid work well too! Hang on the hook good in the surf.
G'day mate how you been, yes for sure especially for mulloway. Good to hear from you again, you may have seen I let people know your way from your dad on fixing a snooded hook onto your trace dropper loop, thanks for that and good fishing mate.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 good thanks. You had some nice weather for fishing there and a great feed! I love a whole thick salmon fillet with just fried in butter with a bit of salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon. Such an underrated fish.
@@rustic35 it was nice down there, the way you enjoy them sounds nice fried in butter I shall try that, I sometimes put a small amount on a saucer in a freezer bag and microwave 30-40 seconds and put between 2 bits of bread and tomato sauce, nice quick yummy sandwich. yes so underrated. All the best mate.
Well done
Thank you!! mate
Hey mate, the worst thing about your video is that I wasn't in it catching those tasty fish with you. I'm looking forward to catching a few at maslins as soon as I get the time. Maybe a few sand crabs too. Thanks for the entertainment mate, keep up the good work.
Thanks mate, maslins very good beach think about it a few times was it a good mullet run down there this year, we use to do really well in front of the bottom car park, fished with my dad on there a few times back in the late 70s it was so good stoped fishing down that way 1990 when I moved to breed maggots. Time can be a problem ahhh sure can, when we get fishing we sure do love it, are you the person who put me onto the crab traps which I haven't tried yet I will one day, if not its on youtube, they sure are tasty them sand crabs. Yes I will keep plugging along with my movies its fun....Cheers David
Nice to watch all your informative videos david and nice to know we have a local fishing expert here in south Australia, and in looking forward to try waitpinga beach this weekend, just wondering if i can order some of your burley springs with weight..😃😃😃
Hi Den Son, nice to hear you have been watching and enjoying the videos thank you. This weekend will be a bit rough at waitpinga but if keen always worth a try with experience gained fishing in the rough. Monday next week is better and Tuesday the best day (North wind). You will have to have a got at making the burley springs and sinkers you will enjoy it. :)
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 thanks for the advice yeah it will be rough this weekend, hopefully we can get something..
@@denson2690 you have a very good chance there are quite a few smaller fish also some bigger ones, I saw a nice photo the other day of a nice bag of fish, find yourselves a gutter and away you go. All the best and tight lines. I think Sunday might be the better day.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 lookimg forward Saturday as thats my highest chance of day fishing heheh and planning to get to your squidding spot wirrina cove, or any good spot nearest there?
I was there yesterday! Couldn't have asked for better weather, I was in a T-shirt all day. Calm water, crystal clear sunshine, not a breath of wind it was very weird to see Waitpinga like that. Of course everyone else had the same idea, the main car park was over-flowing, mostly surfers.
No big fish to be found but plenty of legal salmon trout were caught by all it seems.
G'day Sam, it has calmed down finely I don't live far away and i look at the beach quite a lot and it was so rough during the week have you noticed the creek its starting to burst at the seems the rain this week might be enough to break it through to the sea, it will be quite a sight I might try to video it and upload for a look. All the best mate.
Master!
Thanks matey, hope you are going well and I caught a few fish so I'm glad you have left me some. Thanks you for commenting, always nice to hear from you.
Got a couple of mid 40cm’s salmon up the east end of of Waitpinga on tiny #12 hooks with 1/4 of a pippy... lots of little sand whiting, bunch of trouties and occasional sweep
Hey Dave went there for the first time Saturday arvo used your rig and managed two fish over 35cm they tasted great
Hi Dylan, awesome caught a couple of nice salmon first trip to Waitpinga well done and nice to hear you used my rig, they are nice aren't they. Thank you for saying Dylan and future tight lines to you. Nice beach isn't it.
Good to hear from you mate. Yeah we’ve had it bad here, just getting over it now we’ve got the Indian virus, lots of folk had the jabs so death rate has come right down, so thats a good. I’m missing early mornings catching squid, salmon tommies and gar ive said it before your very fortunate to do what you do. How’s your old cat?
Hi Bob, yes you guys have had it bad, I think they have handled it well over hear, yes you are right we are very fortunate over hear I often think how lucky we are. Australia is our oyster. Mitzy our cat is doing fine she is amazing really, she is nearly 21 now and still plays and meows heaps for her nibbles, I have a video filleting a flathead with her you shall see it one day. All the best Bob and you and your family stay safe mate......Cheers David
Gday mate thought you had given the you tube away ,12 months since your last venture down to waits i think the fish were a bit bigger then probably a good time to go everyone has gone out of town .
Hi mate good to hear from you again, I'm still plugging along with the youtube. Wow time flies we can't idel around to much or time will be gone. yes I chose a good day to go fishing the beach was empty just about. Stay tuned there will be some more videos. All the best crispernator.
Ripper video David !
Would I be correct in assuming they are destined for the smoker ?
It has been difficult to get out on the beach here in Sydney , it is either dead flat or 5m swells with 40kph winds and flogging down rain .
Hi Ian, thank you. No smoker for these they will be fish cakes, beer battered and natural with a bit of stuff in the frying pan very nice, hope you manage to get out eventually that weather can get in the way sometimes. i'm working on catching a snook for a watch and then smoke it I hope I can get out and make that one reality sooner rather than later.
Great video Dave good to have you back what Snyder rod is that?
Hi Ruben thanks mate, my Snyder glass is a FT 4120, 30-70gm I broke my old one and managed to find this one at beta Price Grange Rd brand new still with tag and in plastic sleeve, as Kylie Minouge would say "I could be so lucky".
Just wonder what's the name of the fish you caught? They look like yaka?but not that big
Hi John, we call these fish salmon trout they are young Australian salmon they aren't related to the real salmon just look similar, yes they do look a bit like yaka we also catch yaka over hear we also call them "chow". Thanks for watching John.........David.
Hey David also wondering what type of rod you use down waitpinga
Hi again Dylan, my fishing rod in this video is a Snyder Glass 4120 fast taper 10 and a half feet long they are not available any more unfortunately, I do have another rod kind of similar and thats a Penn Prevail 10ft long, cast weight 30-120gm its very nice too, because the deep gutters are a lot of the time not to far out to cast to at Waitpinga also the big waves are out along way we can use shorter surf rods down there.
More Excellence, Thank You 😁
Thank you David I really do enjoy doing the videos when I can, also thank you for your comments.
Miss SA already and it has not been 3 monthns since I spent there 3 weeks. Hpoing to come back soon and for good
Hi Pavel, yes there are some beautiful places here in SA. Hope every thing goes to plan for you and you can get back here and back onto Waitpinga beach which has been fishing fairly well lately. Cheers and all the best. David
Hey David big fan was wondering if you ever throw metal lures for salmon or do you just use bait tactics
Hi Tim thanks mate, yes I have done a lot of lure fishing even off the end of port jetty over the reef in days gone by, love it when the fish are on have done lots down Waitpinga the trouble was though if the fish weren't to be found I went home with no fish but when using bait and some burley I found the fishing a bit more reliable for me and a feed of fish. I do love lure fishing there is nothing like that strike often when you are not expecting it, I have got something to show when I get round to it, you may have all ready seen or maybe not.Tight lines Tim.....David
On ya Dave
Good morning Lee, thanks mate.
Great video i was wondering do you salt your own pilchards? are you using fresh.
G'day mate good to hear from you again how you going, no i only use fresh pilchards the only reason why is that they are bloodier and smellier if fish are sparse I've always caught more fish on a fresh pilchard but when there are plenty around it doesn't really matter but I stick to fresh just in case. Thanks for your comment mate.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 I am doing well thanks just got back from Elliston. Largest salmon we caught was 4kg. Price money for the largest is $2000.00. I used fresh pilchards/human grade. I used your method of putting the hooks into the bait with a half hitch was excellent for hook ups. Please consider doing a how to salt pilchards vid. All the best. Your vids are always great to watch.
Why do you take the head off the pilly? For another bait or you just don't use it?
Hi there, I break the head half off just to make the pilchard bait smaller to suit my 2 x 1\0 hooks, the head half is then usually squeezed into my burley spring or used as another bait.
