Really related to your pain here. I’m 1 fish, 1 dropped in about 20 outings on soft plastics. I had to switch back to bait just to feel what a fish feels like. Very tough lure fishery in this river.
Love lure fisherman who still use bait from time to time. I still haven’t had luck on lures, so I’ve always just gone back to baits. I think on the average size of catch the rank goes: 1) Live Bait 2) Lures 3) Frozen Bait But lures and frozen baits can also depend sometimes.
Tip: Go extremely light 1/20th or 1/40th slow drag/hop action and back loop around when chasing if they see anything out of the ordinary they will scatter. it looks like your fishing around anglers tavern you should try near the V.U across footscary that area isn't bad either. Great vid btw keep it up bro!!!
Hey James, Ive had abit better success switching to a 2” grub on a 1/16. It’s surprising that a 2.5” in motoroil spook them, but the 2” doesn’t. I think it’s the thinner body. It’s still hard to fool the bigger fish esp when bright. The smaller fish follow the sp and keep nipping the tail so a stinger might help but it depends on the day and how they commit. Pumpkin zman was the ticket. Cheers!
This is great testing mate, I find in Qld, I’ll go to a location and have a couple cast nets, match whatever the bait fish in that are to the closest lure I have and boom, usually a good session
Exactly what I’m doing here but unfortunately this river is a little different when it comes to that. Any other water way and fish galore on lures. Haha
Hey mate where do you normally fish in parramatta and what lures do you use. I’m new to fishing so any advice would help. Really struggling to find places to fish.
@@JamesIbby g'day mate , I fish the salt from Rydalmere to the weir at Parramatta . And the fresh the other side of the weir . Flattys , bream , tailor , whiting , all sorts in the salt . I use Zman soft plastics , Gulp soft plastics , chubby hard bodies and blades . In the fresh there's carp and bass , but I only target the bass . For them I use the same chubby hard bodies , surface lures and beetle spins . Hope this helps champ . 🎣🤙
@@davidshaul5265 thank you for your reply ! Is there any way you can give me certain locations or street on how I can get there because I don’t know what you mean. The areas are massive. Thank you.
@@JamesIbby the area i just told you is less than 5 KMs mate . You'll need to check it out , fishos won't give exact locations out of respect for other fishos . Don't want to give away anyone's favourite spot . Google maps is all you'll need champ . 🤙🎣
@@davidshaul5265 ok thanks mate. I just wanted to know is it a wharf or you walk up to a random area. I have no idea where to park. Where’s the fresh water rover ? North of the river ?
Mate one of your best vid, well explained some times u win and loose. 10/10 for yr persistent,after losing lures. What length of your rod? Must get a Good pair of sunnies ? What's size hook,do you use?.
Nice vid mate. Try a running sinker rig with a plastic instead of a jighead next time. You'll feel the snags before the hook hits them. You can even rig with a weedless hook if you want. Make sure you use straight shank hooks for any plastics or they'll twirl. I hate snags.
@@Ramy_Ramz that was a while ago, tbh it actually helps getting snagged in local areas so you get an idea of where they are, what snag it is and how to approach it better. Ever since it is not often to get snagged. 👍

Hey man! Just wanna say another few good lures for bream are the Gulp 2inch shrimp, Zman 2.5inch Grub and the Zman 2.5inch Minnow

Mate one of your best vid, well explained some times u win and loose.
10/10 for yr persistent,after losing lures.
What length of your rod?
Must get a Good pair of sunnies ?
What's size hook,do you use?.
Thanks for the support, that’s fishing for you. I was using a 7” rod. The sunnies are twice eyewear copper lenses.
You should really try the cranka crab for bream.
Stay tuned! Got a very awesome episode coming within a week or 2 using them 💪
Nice vid mate. Try a running sinker rig with a plastic instead of a jighead next time.
You'll feel the snags before the hook hits them.
You can even rig with a weedless hook if you want.
Make sure you use straight shank hooks for any plastics or they'll twirl.
I hate snags.
What bait where you using nice vid
If you want more bream use a hard body crank bait
Ooh I like this
Hey have you got any bait suggestions for the Marby also nice vid
mad as vid man ..
You should come fish in Tasmania one day
Dedication 👍
Good on you mate! God bless
Thanks for sharing
What scent do you use?
Nice video
Size hooks??
Rip the daiwa dr minnow I miss them so much
What bait did you use ?
I just use bluebait and running sinker
Very efficient
Great vid mate. For your bait, is it just sandwich bread? :)
Yea bit of a late one haha but just normal white bread does wonders thr soft inside around the hook drives bream crazy
Where is that?
Nice
How do you afford loosing all these lures
All part of the game
@@JamesFishingAdventures haha yeah besides you learn all the possible ways getting snagged

May I suggest; Learn how to properly use lures before you switch to bait.
Baits will always out fish lures especially Bream

Why don't aussie fishos eat their fish
we do, we just don't eat everything. Catch and release to preserve future fish populations
Because the marybyrnong is filthy. Used to be be industrial so who knows what chemicals are in the muddy bottom
Alot of people just do it for fun, we keep them sometimes if we are trying to get a feed if there legal or if there gut/gill hooked and they are legal
What bait do you use?
