Yellowtail KINGFISH in Melbourne's RIP - jigging for kingfish

- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- So last weekend I took my quintrex renegade 460 offshore for the first time ever off flinders looking for tuna, we found the tuna but didn't hookup so this week I set out to have another go, but the weather was not the best for the little boat so I decided to launch at Sorrento and have a look at the rip as I've never had it in there and wanted to see what it was like, we pulled up to find literally 100's of boats all chasing kingfish so we got out the jigs and had a crack too!

Awesome stuff I got seasick watching it 😁
Wow! So much boat traffic. Bloody like Bourke St on water.
Glad you handled the washing machine chop too. Awesome Kingie! Well done mate.
Gerry's Fishing Banter thanks Gerry! Yeah it’s was pretty crazy hey! Most people were being pretty safe though so that was a good thing 👌🏼
very nice mate, congrats on the King in the boat.
Thanks dinga!
That was hectic!!! I couldn’t handle that sorta boat movement. Well done, loved the video. (Side note, the early thumbs down were probably about the “premier” I find there is a lot of hate about that feature on YT).
Yeah it was crazy! Meh thumbs down don’t bother me haha
Yeew! Good work
Thanks mate!! How’s eden going?
Mark Whitford yeah mate, unfortunately no kings are here but plenty of good reef fish and flatties
Fishing Victoria yeah nice one! Keen to see that one!
Nice as mate. Geez your brave out there in those waves haha
Thanks Luke! Haha yeah I was pretty impressed with the boat hey 👌🏼
Woohoo, congrats Mark mean fish. As always loving the content!! Big ups from NZ
Cheers mate!! 👌🏼👌🏼
Hard work doing that mate nice fish your on a good role traveling around catching fish well done keep up the great work 🤙
Thanks mate! Appreciate it!
That jigging style is so different to anything I'm used to doing! If I jigged like that where I fish the lure would go flying over my head hahaha. Loved the slomo on the professional salmon release lol! That kingfish was a beast, nice work Mark!
Hahaha yeah well this was 40m-60m deep where we were jigging a lot different to cod rivers 😂🤣
Yeah they are hard to hold when they are going nuts hey 😂
Nice work Mark, they’re a great boat and Josh is a gun, we have the same hull/motor combo 👌🏻
Thanks Paul! Funny thing is I actually got into this combo from watching your vids haha I just went with the offshore transom as well lol
Haha awesome mate. Ripper boat, great to hear you’re loving it too
Awesome work buddy. That looked like so much fun.
I would absolutely shit myself in those waves though. LOL
Thanks Robbie! It was soo much fun! Haha yeah there was a lot going on hey 😂 the rip I think is in top10 most dangerous waters in the world I’m pretty sure 🤣
Great vid. Awesome catches. I reckon I'd be dead in those swells well done mate
Thanks mate! It was a bit nuts hey!
Do the miles . Wear the smileS !! Well done mate happy dayZ .
Thanks mate! 🙌🏼
Good stuff mate, the feeling when u get a special fish into the boat is priceless, we got hooked up to one on the rip the other day but completely spooled me on super light gear, anyway, just wondering what day this is and what the weather was roughly forecasted to be, cheers
Oh I know right I was soo stoked! Yeah they definitely go hard! I actually hooked a bigger one this day too but dropped it aswell lol
This was Sunday the 1st Of March was light winds in the morning and then blew up to about 15 knots by the time we came in
Nice kingie guys cheers
Thanks mate!!
LOUD MUSIC WRECKS VIDEO
Awesome video. Yet to to catch our first Kingfish in the rip ourselves, been out a couple of times but not really prepared. How's those salmon though, so big in the rip. Saw your post on FB thought I'd check it out. Great channel, love the thumbs.
Thanks mate appreciate the kind words! Yeah I’ve seen a few of your vids also 🙌🏼
Good work mate. Cant wait to smash them this season. Was this inside or upside the heads?
Was in the rip man
Nice job mate when do you think the season will stop for these kings
Michael Spiteri thanks! No idea really it’s all pretty new to me but I’d assume when the water cools they will go
Great video. In regards to the jigs, do you lose many to the bottom snagging up?
Thanks!! In three trips I’ve done I’ve lost one jig, I think the coloured braid helps you know how deep you are when looking at the sounder, but yeah it’s pretty easy to loose one. I try to jig as soon as it hits the bottom
@@markwhitford good info. Thanks mate.
Bloody awesome mate what sort of boat do u use and where did u launch from
Thanks mate! I have a quintrex renegade 460
Launched at Sorrento
Amazing video. What setup are you using?
Thanks mate! I just went out and bought a new setup actually lol had a shimano palegic nano rod, diawa saltist 6500 reel, 50lb Finns braid with 100lb leader.
Also have the same rod with a Saragossa 10000 reel just in case
Good job mate what lure u use
Thanks mate! Was an entice ringer 200g
What was the depth and are you on anchor?
No just drifting, your not allowed to anchor in the rip... and it starts around 20m and ends up around 60m
Thanks mate. I'd love to fish there and I'm trying to learn as much about it as I can
Fish on
Yhew! 😁
Im so happy for watching this channel
Sandi Sinambela thank you soo much 🙌🏼
