Note: Out of respect and courtesy for others, I refrain from naming spots unless it's a very popular spot. I don't mind others mentioning the spot it in the comments and I often leave enough evidence for those that want to find the spot, to be able to work it out from the video.
New videos every week!

Wasted 😂😂😂😂
Haha, I had to respawn the next day Alex 😂
Yesss, was keen to see how the bender goes! Such a unique design for a lure. Great quick review, Shroom!
Keen to see how the you go with the Berkley Pro-Tech Surface Popper 50mm next!
Thanks Hai! I was just as keen to test them out as they were one of the shapes that caught my eye. 😁
Cant get enough of the topwater action!
Probably the most exciting form of lure fishing! 🔥
I was waiting for something about to happen when you walk to that bush! great tips brother ✌👍😍
Haha yep me too Owenz! Thanks brother
Love the raw enthusiasm 12:57 👊🏽
I will have to give them a try when the water heats up!
Thanks Npg! Always good to have in the bag of tricks for situations that may arise. Definitely more suited for the season that just passed us 🔥
🔥
Not easy surface lures in those conditions so nicely done. The GTA bit was funny. Glad you didn't break a bone.
Thanks Mark! Pretty tough out there fishing-wise and the rock was pretty tough and hard too haha. I'm pleased that you enjoyed that bit because that was the intended plan. I hope everyone had a hearty laugh at that!
Love your videos my man! Keep it up and see u in the next video
Thanks Alex! A lot of of heart and soul went into this video and I'm glad you like em 😁
Good stuff mate, was really keen on purchasing this exact same lure and putting some assist hooks on to chase whiting, I think you have just convinced me.
Glad I could help Warren. I've been keen to do a bit of surface fishing this next month or so. Those assist hooks certainly help a lot but they do reduce the visual aspect of the topwater smash but some days they won't touch strictly surface
Great content as always 👍
Thank you Ali!
Great video Pete, Great to see you pumped, I recently got a OSP 130 mm bent minnow to chase larger flathead, just need a heavier set up to throw it,
Thank you Anthony! Yep, it was akin to a carthartic release after hours of grinding when it seemed hopeless. Nice, the OSP's are the originals and should work very well! 😍
@@ShroomFishing cheers,
I was given that lure from Hot Tackle to try out, going to give it a shot this weekend. Nice video Shroom.
Nice one ChrispyyWings! Great lures, see you you go! 🔥
You should try some of the bigger bent minnows over the sand flats for monster flathead , you will need a longer faster action rod and use 20lb leader mainly to prevent you sending the lure into orbit if you get a wind knot. This technique is better in spring through summer and great on kingfish as well .
Thanks for the suggestion Evan. I might have to give it a go once Spring comes around again. These lures are very addictive
Fkn lol’d at the GTA scene 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂👍
I'd be really interested in those twitch bait for flatties. Cheers Shroom.
Thanks Victor! That's a vote for the twitch bait Pro-Tech 👍
YESS ANOTHER SHROOM VID
Yep Jono! Another one 😎
Hi mate. Love your work. Fishing can be like you experienced today. Another day the fish may smash them.
I would like you to try double tail Mister Twister soft plastic in yellow it was deadly in the eighties on flathead.
Thanks a lot Hilton! I need to try those Mister Twister lures one day as a lure challenge video or something 😁
I reckon kingies would love them !
They go by price tag Ian! The more expensive the lure, the more they love em 😆
I wouldn’t of chosen the bender but I might consider when it heats up again 🔥
That's true Christopher! Surface fishing in the estuary is waning. I can't wait till it heats up again 🔥
🔥🔥🔥😲
Cheers
Hey mate really getting into surface bream fishing, i've used slippery dogs and suga pens in the 58s. I noticed that you mentioned using poppers, what poppers do you use for bream?
keep up the great vids!
Thanks Connor! I've used various poppers but there's one off the top my mind I have fond memories using and that's the Atomic Pop 50 in Ghost Green Shad 🔥
I find you do have to be patient with those types of lures Shroom . And thats hard for me mate , i like to feel my lures work , so its hard to dead stick them . 👍🎣
That's so true David. I was getting a bit impatient at times as I just wanted to work them 👍
Let's go
Lesss gooooo!
Nice vídeo
Thanks Joseph!
Sweet as bud, i got the orange shrimp the other day but havn't tried it yet, very surprised you got something top water this time of year, think i'll be getting that colour as well, lol
Thanks mate! I think the waterway is one big rain period away from shutting down the surface bite for good haha. Very tough at the moment, at least for bread and butter. The pelagic fish are still tuned on surface but up to chance encounters!
@@ShroomFishing Cool as! Yeah, sure is, hehe. Get it while it's good, the colder weather is creeping up, i'm hanging for october already, lol
@@RevIt66 Yep, I can feel the cold tonight haha. Different opportunities around the corner 🔥
@@ShroomFishing hahaha, -1 here this morning, i will have to travel north to fish i think, the south coast isn't real good in the cold months, lol. Winter is when hobby number 2 kicks in for me coming from the southern highlands, hopefully back at Moorebank and racing 1/8 scale nitro r/c cars soon, fast things warm you up in winter, but if a chance comes up a fishing i will go, hehehe
@@RevIt66 I see, those RC cars sound fun haha. They'll certainly keep you entertained. I'm not looking forward to the cold but the fishing hopefully is decent
Just a loop knot for that lure ? Cheers bro gonna try it tomorrow
I use a regular uniknot. You can use a loop knot if you remove the split ring
Replace front trebs with #10 assist hooks Shroom👍
Good suggestion Marty! It crossed my mind a few times that day but I had to test them as is out of the packet to get the best test possible
Hey Shroom, I've been using fluro leader for SP but I wanted to make the transition to using top water hard bodies. Do you recommend using mono for leader seeing how it floats rather than fluro? Cheers
I use fluoro 90% of time (because I'm lazy) and often because it's a change of plan to use surface. Mono works well, fluoro will drag the lure down a bit and you'll have to know when it's having too much of an impact.
@@ShroomFishingAppreciated the quick response my bro! I'm probably overthinking it but I like to leave no room for error lol.. Nonetheless Ty again & I'm a big fan of your vids man bless💙
Hey mate are you enjoying the td black rod? I was going to get the wild weasel model with a td black reel on 10lb j nraid
It's good but my limited edition one has a design flaw with the hook keeper. They have since fixed it I believe
Regarding the lure, no thank you. Regarding your efforts, you are a legend🤙🤙🤙
Thank you EL hajj. Really appreciate the kind words 🙏
I don't often see a lure like that being used out here in socal. Looks like a perfect lure for the surf for halibuts/ghost . Wondering why you don't throw it on a baitcaster? Figured it's easier to produce the action needed for that hard bait.
Nice one Nagato! Yes, I watch a few videos from the US (mostly Florida fishing or freshwater bass videos). Those halibuts are massive! I'm not sure what a ghost is though. In Sydney, we use a lot of spin gear, it just seems to be the norm here and very rarely we use baitcasters. I have a few baitcaster combos but they struggle to cast the really light weighted lures and plus the salt water does a number on the reels. I need to use them more often though (2 Daiwa Steez's) because it's a lot of fun!
@@ShroomFishing We Call White Sea Bass as "Ghost" cause their as elusive to catch in the surf. I've caught four or five of em within the last 6 years and all were juvenile(less than legal size of 28" IIRC). Still haven't landed a legal...
As for the baitcaster, theres plenty of reels capable of throwing finesse lures as I fish em too in the salt(mainly surf fishing). Obviously I wouldn't be casting the steez, but the lower end daiwa reels are fine. Personally, I cast three different BC, my shimano chronarch 150g(4lb mono), daiwa tatula cg(i think thats what i own lol, 6lb mono), and my favorite the metanium 150 (2013, 6lb mono). As long as you do the maintenance after every session you should be fine. Im a little OCD with my reels so I take em apart till theres 30-50 pieces laying around to be cleaned. Anywho, keep it up, enjoying your adventures out there.
@@nagatouzumaki8906 Thanks for all that information Nagato! I just learnt something about the white sea bass, really cool. That's some nice bc's you have. Thanks again and will do !
Apparently the hurricane switch bent minnows are just as good as the osp bent minnows. Has anyone used them are they good ?
I've not used them before. I'd be interested to hear about it
Nice video! And how long have u been fishing for?
Thank you Davinder! As long as I can remember
Is this as good as the OSP bent minnow or is there like a thing or two that is not as good as the OSP bent minnow?
the OSP is the original Josh. They were the first to come up with this idea
What was the price that you bought? Found one in USA by OSP, it cost nearly $40.
OSP is the original bent minnow and that’s why it fetches prices around 37AUD. The one in this video is a Berkeley and cost roughly 16AUd
Do you have any recommendations on fresh water lures for like rivers and lakes, there is a lot of bass and trout where I live btw
Tn60
In addition to Stephen's great suggestion, for rivers for bass, soft plastic paddletail (black, orange, green colour etc.) with a worm hook instead of a traditional jighead. Trout, depends, but small wooden hardbodies in rainbow trout colours or pink coloured paddletails or yabby patterns
@@ShroomFishing thanks
Dope vid bro 👌bro have you tried spinning for bonnies and kings salmon like the bigger models
That lure looks nice for bonito
I've got some plans for some spinning but it may be a while before I can hook up a sesh like that. I'm keen to bring that to the channel at some stage!
Come down clifton bro on sat catch a bonnie on them sick lures
@@ShroomFishing i dont have the patience to spin im always live baiting and fishing down for trevs
@@bladezAK Nice, are they on? I'm always busy so hard to get over there!
I’m patient like Shroom.. just 100X less bruh if cast something like that about 10 times before I change
Haha Petoz, yep I find surface fishing needs a lot of confidence and patience to use on some days. Some days, one cast is enough to decide that it ain't working but it's really fun when it does! 😀
Cool🙈
Thanks 😎
@@ShroomFishing i need help. I gotta ask u sum
@@ShroomFishing so its my first time usin a fake bait. N i use worms. So should i add a weight with fake bait. It looks like a green worm.
@@rlkturbo4607 Yes, something light. Probably the smallest lead you have 👍
@@ShroomFishing oh ok. I just thought no weight. Bc u were using no weight
nice vid shroom you think the pelagics will hit this winter at the harbour
Thanks a lot Demolished Z4CRO! Yes, tailor and salmon will be all over these lures in the winter and the odd
So what type of lure to use in winter time?
Plastics comes into it's own, blades and vibes are the go too
@@ShroomFishing
Ok copy that. Thanks for the help
Where u buy lure?
If you want to check it out, see the description
Yoooo do you eat any fish you catch?
Not often y0Oreoo, but I still have to do a catch and cook on the channel! 🔥
Yeah true, should do it man! Would love to see a catch and cook 👌
Please try the Jigpara microjigs I’ll show you on Instagram what I’m talking about
