Gday Allen, I love your videos soooooo much, you have taught me so much,
Keep up the amazing work, keep being a sensational teacher, tight lines bro!l
Thanks so much, I really appreciate the kind words and heaps of new content is on the way
@@fishingmad can’t wait, it will be amazing!
Thanks !! Its very much appreciated
love your vides i am using your videos to learn how to use soft plastics.
That's awesome, i'm glad your finding the content helpful, and fishing with plastics is so much fun, once you start catching with them its had to go back.
I do this with my sp worm profiles. Changes the action completely. Fish dig it.
Yeah, I've only done it when needed in really snaggy areas and it can make a massive difference
I just love grubs, double tails and split double tails (which most people still consider grubs). Some of the things I like about them are, they work on pretty much every species of fish, you can fish it in almost every way, you can imitate pretty much everything in the water from bugs, worms, to fish. By changing colours and the way they are fished. lots of people don’t throw them so fish are typically not used to seeing them. And they are usually pretty dang cheap.
We use them for walleye and northern pike here at home, but they catch everything.
@fishingmad Well done Alan! East Gippsland is truly special. Some stonkers you gents got onto! Makes the long drive truly worth it 😄
Thank you, it sure is a special place. I cant help but going back time and time again. So worth it.
@@fishingmad I can relate 👍🏼 well done! 😀
Awesome clip Al, great tips , fish and inspiration to get up there and get amongst those bream !
Thanks 👍 its very much appreciated.
The Straights were one of my favorite locations in Gippsland for bream….great video and tips ….thanks for sharing.
Thank you !!
your work is really beautiful, this kinda made my day💝💝
Hi Alan, nice one on these beautiful Bream. I wonder if you keep one or two for dinner 😅😅😊🤙🤙💪💪
Thanks Mario, yeah there was some amazing catches there. I've always been a catch and release bream fisho's but many of the locals there love taking a few home for a feed.
Totally agree light gear is fun my biggest bream was a yellow fin bream 53cm on 4lb braid 4lb leader and she gave me a hell of a tussle .. was a once in a life time bream most my other big bream are 43-45cm I haven’t had the pleasure of wrestling a black bream yet that’s my next adventure
OMG 53cm thats crazy good. Well done !! and on 4lb leader is even better. Very impressed.
I must say everytime you hit Gippsland the weather is always perfect - no wind!!!
Lots of planning in advance, I study the weather conditions like a Hawk leading up to any travel as its not worth travelling 4-6 hours if the weather isn't any good. I've been burnt many times in years past.
@@fishingmad easy to get burned down there! Spent plenty of dead time fishing East Gippsland “ pre-kids “ - recorded times, spots, winds, water conditions, bait fish etc - now have resumed fishing - the systems especially Mitchell River have changed a lot and so have my spots! Oh well just have to start again! Watching your videos helps a lot especially the land based ones! Cheers!
You should do a camping and fishing trip in Gippsland like you did in lake eildon
Yeah we did a camping trip at East Gippsland a few years back and it was awesome. Id love to camp and fish a heap of spots up there
Yeah I’m planning a trip with my dad
Yet another amazing quality video thanks for the great content Alan. Also it would be great if you could do another documentary. 🎉
Thanks
Thanks so much !! I really appreciate the comments. Got some additional TV stuff coming very soon so hopefully a few more opportunities for doco style stuff too.
Thanks for the quick reply, sorry to be a pest but i recently bought some super thin Japanese braid and have been casting off lures like there is no tomorrow, I have tried the double uni and the fg knot do you have any knot recommendations
honestly thats all I use double uni and if the rod has micro guides and FG knot. Both are amazing knots. I tend to use the double uni more when im on the water because its so quick and easy to tie.
Yea fair enough i might not be doing enough turns on the fg, but unfortunately i have a 1-4 tcurve that doesn’t pair well with the double uni il try the fg with more turns and if it fails again i might need to get new line😭
did anyone else notice the dead fish floating just before the 12 minute mark
Yeah there was a massive amount of dead Carp in the system. Huge ones and thousands of them. We called and alerted authorities and they said it was known due to the water temperature dropped and high salinity volumes which made it inhabitable for carp.
@@fishingmad well i mean, that’s a good thing i guess
Are commercial fishermen allowed to net that area. I fish and my local area is netted, so unless you know what you're doing and have local knowledge then fish like that would be scarce.
As far as I'm aware, most commercial netting in PPB and Gippsland lakes has stopped ( back around 2022 ) with all the licenses bought out. It's a good question I'll see if I can dig up more info.
47cm bream how old would that be?! 30 years old surely??
Yeah at least I wreckon, always good to see them swim off strong.
also why doesn't bait work on lake tyers like chicken or prawn
Baits still work fine in those systems and I saw some huge bream and flathead caught at lake tyers with prawns last time I was there. Garfish and pilchards also work well there, but typically I prefer to throw plastics and lures at them.
@@fishingmad thanks for the advice as i will be heading there this weekend
Awesome, its a brilliant place. Just remember we are in Winter now and its peak cold so the bite can be slow.
@@fishingmad and last question what type of rod will be the best for flathead and bream thank you @fishingmad
watch this vid I think half way through ruclips.net/video/QoDMzj_YB3o/видео.html it explains all the rods and reels i use there. Try and have a prim target species as bream ideally will be a 1-3kg rod and flathead a 2-4kg rod there are lots of variations to this depending on what lures or bait your using.
Probably not going to sit this combo in a kayak rod holder? 😅
LOL nah no way. Hopefully I learned a very costly and valuable lesson
4 hour drive just for breams ?! jeesh.. are you mad or what ?
fishing is fishing bro 😊
Are you from Australia?
