Most of the larger fish I have been catching over the last 2 years have been caught using live bait. Using live bait can often give beginners and intermediate "Jetfishers" a better chance of coming home with that prize fish.
I must admit when I first started trying to gather live bait, I found every trap and gotcha in the book! But after persevering and learning my own best practices, I am getting to the point where I can jig up enough live bait for every session. I am happy to share some of the lessons I have had to learn the hard way!
So this is just a short tutorial on the gear and techniques I use that have been most successful. The main points are noted below if you want to jump through the video:
- The 2 piece Sabiki Rod (Rovex) : 1:00
- Yellowtail Scad; The type of bait most prevalent in my waters: 2:12
- The Sabiki lure /jig I prefer and why: 3:52
- "Feathering" to attract attention on the drop: 5:10
- The importance of the sinker and weight : 5:53
- Example of what a "cloud" of bait looks like on a sounder: 7:46
- How the hook remover saves me a lot of time and effort: 8:34
- Why I prefer a 2 piece Sabiki rod and the heavy duty Sabiki lures: 8:59
- One simple technique for attaching the hook to the bait: 9:22
Hope this helps you out. There are some other tips I could give but I figured 10 mins is enough on the subject!
Riding the ski, shooting video, speaking ad lib, and fishing- all at the same time- is not easy! So please forgive the drawn out dialogue while I try my best to multitask!

Thanks for the positive review!
Love the pontoon floats on the sides of your jetski. That's cool 👍 you got the perfect setup for fishing.
thanks, I really love it. Can't imagine fishing without the Tubbies on a ski now! looks like you're from Florida or the gulf area? I had a few days in the Florida Keys and want to get back there so bad!
Hey 👋, really enjoy your videos my friend your relaxed personality is very enjoyable and your fishing is very productive thanks very much for the extensive catalog of awesome vids 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks Jamie! I appreciate your positive feedback. I hope to keep up the videos as long as I can! Cheers!
Any suggestions on where to buy the folding sabiki rod please
Hi Graham, I got mine from Dinga.com.au. I did a google search (Rovex Sabiki rod) and they are out of stock most places, but do a search around online. My mates got them a few weeks back. Or get onto Jarvis Walker (importers) and ask them if they can get one for you. There are a few different styles, so make sure you get the one that folds to suit your need. Mine folds into almost same lengths, and there are some that the butt comes out and leaves a long piece to contend with. But hope you get one -and get amongst it! Thanks for watching too!
@@Jetcast Thank you very much your knowledge is appreciated
@@Westozzy1951 you're welcome!
Hi Paul can you tell us the name of the bait jig again....seaglass? You get them off eBay?
Yes, "Seagour" not Seaguar. Search Seaguar or Seagour 4286 and you'lll find them.
Do u put the circle hook up through his nose vertical or did u pin it sideways through the cheek
Two schools of thought: it's far simpler vertically as shown in the video. The theory is that if a fish picks the bait up but not swallow immediately (like mulloway often do) , the hook has less of a chance to rip out like it would if it was through the nose sideways and under a little force.. But I generally go through the nose sideways (I think there's a better hook up rate for me) and sometimes I'll use a bait needle to pull a rubber band through and do it that way if I feel less pressured! That's in the 102 course! :) I'll get around to showing that one day soon. Thanks for watching again Brett.
Awsome
Thanks Paul
You’re welcome! Hope it helps!
No fair . You can't leave us hanging like that!
hehe. Sorry, but decided to end it like that because I didn't land the fish! Lost the bloody thing! There was a lot of swearing! :) I think it was a really really big Mulloway, certainly had the biggest head shakes I have ever felt, and I got it up almost to the ski. It felt like got sharked right under the ski. I didn't see anything, just there was one ginormous tug that almost pulled the rod out of my hands and then snapped the line. There had been hammerheads hanging around that reef the week before, so maybe they were still there.. Anyway, thanks for watching the video. (I hope your name means something else than the obvious!)
@@Jetcast the name has some relevance but mostly was a Google generated name for my big Labrador who does tend to stink now and then

Best bit happens near the end
That’s a bloody smart Lab to duck dive! We use to have a black Labrador that was ex-customs. He was a great dog, died last year, and we really miss him.
Some great insider secrets there Paul well done 👍
cheers Craig! Hope you are getting amongst the fish in NZ. I am having no luck with the snapper this year though myself!
Hello Paul, I was going back through your trip to the Swains a year ago, and noticed that you cleaned up on the trout with a white bucktail jig. Can you please tell me its name is and where you got it? Many thanks.
Hi Pat. I bought a pack of hooks and flasher rigs before I went up. They were from OM Flashers. I think the real trick is the overhead reel and reasonable light sinker- plus the weather was great so they took us to a reef system that they can't generally fish with any sort of wind due it being so exposed to the elements. So probably a combination of light touch on the overhead to allow the trout to pick up the pillie and run with it before feeling any weight, maybe the flasher, and then fishing a place not fished out!
@@Jetcast Thankyou so much!! :)
@@Jetcast Hello again Paul, I am planning a trip to the Swains with Big Cat Reality early next year. What size and colour hooks did you use? The skirts looked pretty white in your video in the mouth of the trouts, but the only white skirts I could find on the OM website were on 3/0 beak hooks. Thanks in advance.
Hi Pat, I purchased a pack they were selling at the time and it had assorted circle hooks and paternosters. The pink hussar is one but really you couldn’t go wrong with any of them. Don’t overthink it with the colours. The fish are still plentiful on the reef and most of the time we were dropping pilchards without flashers and did well too. If it’s your first trip, my advice is take a lot of sinkers and hooks. I use mainly circle hooks because I’ll fish more than one rod and can’t strike both on the ski. But 6/o to 8/o from memory is what we used on the last trip. Last trip I also broke two rods, so take a backup or two!
@@Jetcast Thankyou very much Paul. I had been taught to use paternoster rigs, but realise now that the resistance of the line and the heavier sinker allowed the fish to steal the pillie a lot easier, and my success rate was low in comparison to the number of baits that I used. I can't wait to use the different technique in practice. Thanks for replying to me. I really appreciate it.
Hi, can’t find the same jig, can you leave a link to buy? Thanks
Hi Douger. Look on eBay. That's where I get them, but I believe there is poor stock levels now due to CV19. Good luck!
in fact, look up ebay item 222649259134 on eBay.com.au
Jetfisher, thanks heaps, love the channel by the way. Great content and editing etc. checked the jigs, out of stock size 9 - still I’ll save the link and keep checking back. Cheers.
douger thanks! Good luck! Btw 8 will do the trick!
