You're a nice bloke mate offering free advice to old mate and anyone else who will listen! I've seen you do the same in other vids and all the tips you give away on your channel! Most people aren't so generous and keep their cards close to their chest. Keep up the good work mate!
Cheers mate. I get a lot out of sharing the experience and seeing blokes learn it and love it hey. Thanks for taking the time to share your support for my videos ;)
wealthy launch owner wanders down off his gin palace: "You just chuck em out and wind them in, don't ya, there's no real [something, probably 'skill' or 'trick']...?" ; John (showing ultimate politeness): "there's some nuances to it...". Haha, you are a nice guy, mate. First cast soon after, bingo.
4:20 there’s a beach on the right hand side Fish outgoing tide there’s a drop off there at rock wall next to the house got a jewfish and mangrove Jack there
I have recently brought a boat very similar to ur set up and just watching this video has given me more confidence in going to find fish using google ect i fish the dams a bit but wanna get back into salt water more
Good luck mate, im sure you'll crush it. Good to see someone else using a savage gear rod, i picked up a heap from bcf for $30 a pop and bugger me there a nice rod!
Brilliant video. Packed with a wealth of information. The areas I fish are very weedy so I am very interested in weedless lures you use. I am not after monsters just a nice 40cm flattie will do. I'm really looking forward to any videos you can make while you compete in the Gold Coast Flathead Classic. I would expect your focus will be more on fishing than filming. Good luck.
John do you rate dobyn bait caster rods above other brands e.g shimano and been trying to buy 7-2 or 7-4 foot medium fast bait caster in N.S.Wales and no stocks them so where do you buy your rods from, love chasing big flats on sand, my biggest as been over 1metre, I fish brisbane waters on the central coast N.S.Wales
Hey mate, great video. We will see you there on Tuesday for registration. So pumped for this years classic. Do me a favour and oil up your real, it’s whining worse than my wife about me fishing for 4 days straight.
Hey mate just wondering if there is anything wrong with the big 10” zman plastics for doing the same thing that you are with the slapstix? Any info would be appreciated
@@mylurebox awesome thank you, im going to lake tyres this weekend to fish the upper arms and ive only got 8, 12 and 20lb leader. Going to have 1 rod with 8lb main to 10lb leader and the other 15lb main and 20lb leader.... 15lb main wouldn't be too much would it? I have no other option
Hey Killersloth Gaming - I can provide you with a bit of info on this question. If you head over to the Tackle Tactics (TT Lures) website you will find some great guides that provide all the recommended jig head / hook sizes for the different ZMan plastics. Here is a link to the weedless guide, and there is another one for standard jigheads too. tackletactics.com.au/Rigging-Guides/Selecting-a-TT-Lures-Weedless-Jighead-for-your-ZMan-Plastic Most tackle stores will have TT jigheads, but there is also search function on the TT website to locate your closest stockist. I hope this helps.
Good luck in the classic johnny hope you and you're bro do well. Awesome little pre fish vid. It seems like you're theories and plan of attack to fish the classic will pay off just stay out of the main channels
I'm only just getting into flatty fishing from watching your videos and just yesterday I caught a 56cm flatty on a vibe, thanks for the good videos
Jett Hogan are you local Gold Coast

Running into some fans, good one, mate, flatty is fun to catch.

You should do a boat walk through mate, looks great for fishing.
I’m fishing it for the first time as well. Not expecting to even come close to being competitive but it’s gonna be fun being in my first tournament.
I have recently brought a boat very similar to ur set up and just watching this video has given me more confidence in going to find fish using google ect i fish the dams a bit but wanna get back into salt water more
Good luck mate
Cheers Charles ;) we ended up with some nice fish and learnt plenty
Good luck mate, im sure you'll crush it. Good to see someone else using a savage gear rod, i picked up a heap from bcf for $30 a pop and bugger me there a nice rod!

I one went out to a lagoon on a kayak and got a 95cm flattie first on a vibe at a lot that I had never been to before
You were in my cannal at the start of the vid 👍
Have a look up Whalleys gutter? Up towards the pin....? 🐟🐠🦈
You spoke about stingers... do you have a tutorial on how to make these? Or have a recommendation on a good tutorial?

Sensational video Johnny.. quick question have you got any clips of using the rapala ripstops?
No mate. I’ll have to get some together ;)
@mylurebox that would be cool!!! Interested in the technique you use on them!! Have you had much luck with them? Looking forward to it

@@mylurebox Thanks mate enjoying your video's
Be great to get your summation of what each day of the COMP was like......how crazy busy was each spot?
Hey Mori, it’s all coming your way this week ;) I’ve tried to capture as much as possible
2:00 good spot that
Hey mate, great video. We will see you there on Tuesday for registration. So pumped for this years classic. Do me a favour and oil up your real, it’s whining worse than my wife about me fishing for 4 days straight.
mate gud luck with the whining wife, rather have a noisy reel.
youlbefkd
Sounds like mine too just when I say I’m going for 3 hours
What app are you using mate for your tides and weather?
Im not fishing the classic john, would you like my old trusty bank?, will post here or will I email directions..
Hey mate just wondering if there is anything wrong with the big 10” zman plastics for doing the same thing that you are with the slapstix? Any info would be appreciated
Let’s fish the classic together this year
What size reel is that on the savage gear rod that u r fishing the Zman with?
It’s a 2500 ;) I’ll be uploading a full gear review this week from the Classic mate
What lb line and leader would you recommend for the big girls mate?
I run 12-20lb leader just to prevent saw offs from their teeth. 10lb main line is plenty I reckon.
@@mylurebox awesome thank you, im going to lake tyres this weekend to fish the upper arms and ive only got 8, 12 and 20lb leader.
