Good stuff Dan! I’m glad to finally see you enjoying BFS, it’s a great way to fish heavy structure with light lures, you’ll get addicted haha!! How good is that little stretch of creek hey? It was well worth all the effort to get the yak in there!! 💪🏼💪🏼 It will explode in spring!! And I’m sure all the current effort exploring new systems will translate in a few more little honey holes like this for this coming season 😉
Awesome video mate. The finesse fishing with a baicaster, especially on topwater looks like awesome fun. Are you using 8 strand braid on the reel? I find that with my 4 strand I get random birdsnests that aren't related to the lure hitting the water... They tend to happen while casting and the lure is still mid air. The line lay looks fine and there's no tangles on the spool. I'm considering swapping it to 8 strand.
BFS is awesome in rivers and estuaries...I'm addicted myself...unless it's an open water scenario where you are bombing casts and covering water I don't see why you wouldn't blog BFS.
G’day mate, awesome little setup! What pound braid are you using? I have the same rod coming but gone with a Daiwa 70sv reel. Any suggestions for braid size? Cheers
Yeah rippa, cheers mate I really appreciate it. Can’t wait to get a bass on the end for the first time, I’ll be chasing a few sootys and jungle perch around with my new little setup🎣 please keep doing BFS baitcast videos it’s a little weapon 👍
Did you deliberately do that dimensional sound thing between 13:15 and 13:20???? I'm on my phone with corded ear buds and it sounds pretty cool and could be used for awesome context n content. Kind of like coming from a different angle as in speaking as a 3rd person. I'm a headcase who listens to D8 music to sleep or zone out. Was weird and cool.
@@yep.fishing I'm on a Samsung S9 and cheap Skull Candy wired buds and it is very noticeable that the sound becomes dimensional for around 5 seconds. It's like there's a tack on bit that sounds like it's in the background of my left ear.
good vids as always mate. I have the same crank, got a couple of them from Annonconda's discount box. $5 each !! I believe they use to be around $18, Just couldn't believe it.. They are very good cranks, caught countless bass from it.
You've done it now mate, opened the door to bfs haha welcome and enjoy 👌 great video.
What have I done haha nah in all seriousness I’m looking forward to what I can catch on it!
Thanks, buddy, for sharing how good is winter bass
I have a similar outfit although I went with a bone rod .I used that new atomic line 12lb with a diameter of 6lb.cant wait to use on bass .
Yea the atomic line is crazy thin. I'd be interested in testing the breaking strain. Its crazy low diameter
Oh stop it haha been thinking about bfs myself awesome stuff mate looking forward to seeing what you get on it 🤙
Man BFS is catching in hard, straight for the curado combo :)

Thanks mate! Big exploratory mood at the moment.. let’s see what we can find (and try not to get bogged)
Sounds like you both need a good recovery mechanic 🤣 I just happen to know the perfect one haha.
Been a BFS junkie for years fishing with high end gear, good to see you enjoying it too but also kind of pissed the secret is out lol
It’s good fun! Plenty more content to come about it :)
I have a Shimano Stile on a Zamaki Zing 7foot and love the extra length, hated BFS fishing with the usual short rod but the extra length is great.
You make casting a baitcaster look easy, im still learning. My accuracy is terrible have to work on my release point
Takes practice mate! Plenty of birds nest and overruns before I got the handle of it.. and I still get them!
Winter?it is around 90 degrees here in New Jersey USA.its great to see bfs starting to spread around the world.
Yep this is our winter seasons currently.. spring is only weeks away!

It is addictive! Yep it’s 8 strand :)
The most popular BFS braid is a 4 strand. The Veritas bait finesse PE. What 4x are you using? Maybe it's not got a coating?
@@yep.fishing 4 strand Diawa J Braid. It's 20lb though. I am asking in the context of baitcasters generally not just for BFS.
I catch 50+cm bass on that UL Zing 😂😂 it's one of my favourite rods

Just 10lb suffix 832. Pretty strong stuff for the rating it is given

Cool combo man! What neck mount are you running for your action camera?
Thanks mate!

Hey Dang where did you buy your BFS XG from finding hard to buy one. Thanks mate
Hard to buy in Aus, I bought it through AliExpress
Was great meeting u the other day at the afta, what are the specs on the rod?, and keen to see some more videos.
Thanks mate! Yes it was a great day
Samaki Zing 541 I think it is. 4-10lb 5”4 rod

@@waynemee8920 I think it was just a switch from one mic to another then back to the first mic
@@yep.fishing wish I could share what I get. It's very D8ish and cool. Can you sense the sound movement in D8? Or am I wired differently 😲?
Hey mate, where did you order the reel from. Seems pretty hard to come by in Australia
Aliexpress! Came in about 2 weeks or so
@@dang.fishingawesome, cheers mate.

You mind telling me what the rod is? I’ve been looking for a good bfs rod
Samaki Zing 541 Bl :)
What did u think of the reel over all?
Fantastic! I’ve had curados in the past as well as the DC models.. they are all very good reels
where do you buy the reel?
Had to look overseas for it. Aliexpress had them
huh grew up SEQ and didnt know it was only tidal u couldnt catch off season
Was different back then. The rules changed a while ago now for a few good reasons 🤙
