Thanks heaps Mick! 🙌🎣 The magic of television mate, not many people show the sessions where they donut 😉😂 I don’t know why people think it’s so hard to catch the Barra on the Gold Coast, Matt is an expert 😉🤣🤣 him, dad and myself had a laugh at this comment mate 😝 Tight lines and thanks for the support as always my friend.
Thanks Juso! Yeah this was back before the floods happened, and before the weather turned to crap. Hopefully over winter we get plenty of calm weather to chase Jew and Snapper! 👍🎣 tight lines
Thanks so much mate! 🙌 I always love seeing your comments, I appreciate the support more than you’d think 👍 Yes I’ve heard of the mighty Coorong Mulloway on podcasts and the internet. It would be so interesting to target them down your way and use different techniques, it would be very interesting! 👌🎣 Tight lines mate!
@@willkitching thanks mate. I have family on the Gold Coast and Brisbane. I love it how you can fish cast nets up there for bait fish. I want to try it next time im up that way. We have so many strict rules here. But it for a good reason. All the best mate 👍
@@scale2tail That’s awesome!! The cast nets seriously make it sooooooo much easier for catching bait in the estuaries 😳👌 I know you guys aren’t allowed to use them and I understand the reasons, but it does make it hard. Have you seen the prawning that people do up here with huge custom made cast nets? I’ll leave a video link below for you, if you haven’t seen it before it’s bloody crazy. There can be hundreds of boats at times, packed in tightly, throwing nets a hundred miles an hour trying to get on the school of prawns 😂😂 ruclips.net/video/435Duj1HkSw/видео.html
Thanks heaps mate! And that’s so awesome, I’m glad you’ve been getting onto some! 🙌🎣 That would definitely be a super fun way to catch them! Tight lines! 🎣
Thanks again mate! 🙌 always appreciate your support. Feel free to come and say g’day if you ever see us! 😁🎣 what boat are you in?? Tight lines legend 👍
Thanks so much mate I really appreciate it 🙌🎣 yeah there seem to be a lot of Jew around lately! I see down in central-northern NSW they are catching them, and it’s usually not long after that when we start to get the bigger ones up here too. Can’t wait for your next video as well Louis, I always love them when I watch them. Keep up the great work mate 🙌🎣🔥 tight lines!
Thanks mate!! And yes definitely I’d be keen to see how you go fishing like this down your way! I’m sure it would work a treat for you when fishing any structure down deep. I’ll flick you a message later on Instagram or Facebook 👌🎣 Thanks for the support on the videos too! 🙌
Hey mate thanks for the comment! I appreciate it. 🙌 The jewwies are funny, they can be almost impossible to catch some days, and then others it almost seems too easy. Luckily this was one of those days! 😂 Tight lines and keep up the great videos yourself 🎣
Good to see Matt getting a few.Ive caught Jewwies on pillies at Cook Island on a padinotsa rig by arse.Find the flesh a bit lead flavour.not enough garlic in the sauce no doubt ! thank you for another entertaining video
G’day Phil! It’s always good having Matt on the boat. To be completely honest he isn’t as die hard as dad and myself when it comes to fishing, but he still loves it and always manages to somehow land the biggest fish or something and always gives us a laugh 😂🙌 I’ve definitely heard of them being caught on pillies before but I can never seem to hook them when snapper fishing or anything! Maybe one day I’ll fluke one as well 😂 as you’d know, they go hard hey!! We find by bleeding them well and skinning them it helps, but even then I know what you mean about the strong taste in the flesh. Lately we’ve been cooking them in Thai curry and it is actually delicious and fully takes away any stronger flavours. Usually I just like eating the fish without stuffing it up with too many other ingredients, but the Jew are seriously nice in the curry, the flavours infuse into the flesh. I’ll send you the recipe on Facebook if you’re interested, it is also great for mackerel if you feel like changing things up a bit. I always love seeing your comments and having a chat mate, thank you and tight lines!!! 🎣👍
Oh mate, tell me about! You guys are ballsy! I watch those videos and think man, they deserve every fish they catch! 😂 I haven’t even fished there at night before in the boat, just to be safe! 🤣 The jewwies definitely bite through the day there, but to be fair the sessions where I go during the day and don’t land any, it makes me wonder whether they bite at night time those days 🤔 Keen to see what you and The Carnster can catch this winter Jani 😁👌🎣 tight lines
@@willkitching yeah it gets dicey there at night, I couldn't do it if Carnster isn't there with me. Must have slow times in the evening too. I hope I can get some winter action, summer's been terrible with all the bad weather/swell. I can't wait to try some snapper fishing too, I like your floating down a pilly technique, wonder if I can do same off the kayak.
G’day Cam, good to hear from you as always legend. They are definitely not an easy fish to catch at times, but the bonus of places like the Gold Coast, Moreton Bay, and port of Brisbane is you can catch them only minutes from the boat ramp. The Port and Bay are two places I’d love to learn more about in terms of jewfish though, I haven’t fished up there too much to be honest. I’m confident you’ll get some in the future mate!! 😉👍🎣
That’s awesome mate, I think we’re in for another good season!! It’s good to hear you’re getting into a few, I loved seeing all your catches last winter, I can’t wait to see what you are going to land this year 👍😁 I’m going to try and catch some of the bigger Jew out on the reef this year like you do, that’s something I want to get better at. I appreciate the comment and I’m sure I’ll see you on the water sometime! Stay in touch legend 🙌🎣
Thank you! And wow mate, now THAT is a proper jewfish!! 😳 well done!!! I know that at certain times bigger ones come into the seaway, I’d love to feel the power and experience landing one that size one day!! 🙌🎣 thanks for the comment mate
G’day mate, thank you!! The water was pretty clean this day, and it happened to be a run in tide but I’d suggest to just go fishing whenever you can, we have caught them on pretty much all tides to be completely honest. People catch them on the high, low, run in, run out. Morning, afternoon, midday. One thing I’d do though is if you catch one or see someone else catch one, note down all the conditions and try to find any patterns you can. Hope this helps mate, good luck! 🙌🎣
@@willkitching can’t beat time on the water , and live bait is the key, tried with live beach worms about a month ago with no luck , will have to try yakkas but at the time the weather was to bad to cross the bar in my 4.2m tinnie.
Hi John, thanks so much mate! The hooks I’ve used are Mustad ‘Hoodlums’ which work well, but lately I’ve also been using Mustad ‘Big Guns’ as they come in a bulk packet and it saves some money. They both work! I use 5/0 or 6/0 which seems to be okay, but don’t be afraid to use 7/0. They have a big mouth, and I know people that use 7/0 hooks and they do well. I just like to use around 5/0 or 6/0 as they are a good size to suit the yakkas, pike, and slimy mackerel that we use as livies. If I was fishing for bigger Jew out on the reef, I’d use at least a 6/0 or 7/0 👍🎣 Hope this helps mate
Hey Rhett Dog, I hope you’re doing well mate! Yeah I definitely know what you mean, the current in the seaway absolutely rips through there that’s for sure. I just find around the tide changes you get a lot of bream and stuff picking your live baits apart, but as the tide picks up they bugger off. The key is to try and keep your line as vertical as possible, straight up and down under the boat. This helps avoid snags but also keeps your bait closer to the bottom, if your line has an angle it can wash up off the bottom. We use a size 6 ball sinker (I think it’s around 62 grams). You want to keep your bait as close to the bottom as possible, hover it just above the rocks, and lift your rod to try and bounce it over any snags. The sad thing is, every now and again it’s just a fact that you’re going to get a snag in this spot. The closer you go into the rockwall, the more snags you’ll get so stay out just a little bit. We leave the motor running firstly for safety around the rocks, but also in case we have to manoeuvre the boat to keep our line straight up and down. I hope these tips help mate and you can get into a few! Just watch the pressure waves on the run out tide, and southerly breeze will push you towards the rocks so I’ve found a northerly is best. Tight lines and come say g’day if you see us around the Gold Coast in the next few weeks! I’m staying down here on holidays 🤙🎣
Thanks for taking the time to reply Will. Much appreciated. I went out to the 36s the other day and broke down due to a faulty fuel line. Whoops. Hope you got out today- looks like there was zero wind. Cheers
@@rhettdog3265 Bugger, that’s unlucky mate! 😩 you don’t happen to have a blue boat and launches from Loders creek did you? I saw a boat getting towed in (I’m staying at the caravan park there for Christmas). I hope it all gets fixed easily for you. We went out yesterday and did really well on snapper and mackerel, video incoming! 👍 Merry Christmas mate and tight lines
@@willkitching no that wasn’t me. I have it all fixed - cost me about $3 in parts and $360 towing fee. You could make a good on what I learnt! Enjoy your holiday and Merry Christmas.
@@willkitching I just bought myself a centre console. I'll be watching all your vids moving forward. Maybe you can come out with us sometime and impart some of your wisdom 😁👍.
