Sorry, it was difficult getting worms and getting footage

I actually prefer the rising tide up to the top of the tide, usually in the afternoon. I think the fish feed in the wash near the shore as it comes up picking any creatures that haven't buried deep enough before the tide has come back in.

The beach

Most of my videos are around Batemans Bay, where I live. This 1 included.

😜😂

@greglindfield2767 Are you saying there is no fish there because that's where everyone goes fishing ? Or I'm in the wrong spot because there's not enough swell and movement in the ocean ?

Cheers, mate. Appreciate the support 🤙

You haven't forgotten 😉

Cheers lad, glad you enjoyed it 👍

😆 I made this video in February, I have collected enough data to show the common factors you need to come together to have that epic day. Hopefully, I will get the next video up next month. 🙏

I would also suggest finding a few people in your local area who post their catches on social media. When you see their post, note what they caught and collect the data for that day. This will also help you find the prime days in your area. Hope this helps. If you have any questions, please ask. happy to share any knowledge I have. 😊

@@flacksfishingadventures1199 Cheers

Good question. Most surfers will be pulling off the waves before they get to the shoreline. The fish will be holding in the shallow parts of the gutters where the surfers aren't surfing. There could be a few people entering the gutter to paddle out, but this shouldn't bother the fish. The surfers might be able to see the fish and tell you where they are holding in the gutter. If you are fishing where you're having issues with surfers, just move to the next gutter. I will only stay in the 1 spot if I'm catching fish, if I haven't had a bite or fish in a few minutes I slowly bring my bait in then recast in a new spot or move along the beach till you find the fish. I usually move 100 to 150m on either side of where I start fishing, looking for the best spots, which will often change with the rising tide and as the currents pull to different parts of the gutters. Ideally, you want the current running along the beach over a sand bank, then falling into a rip and getting dragged out cast up on the bank and let you bait get dragged along the bank then into the gutter. Hope this helps 👍

@@flacksfishingadventures1199 Yeah great reply thank you! That makes sense. And thanks for the tips, I still haven't caught a fish yet but I will perservere!

@divad435 where do you live? Are you targeting whiting

@@flacksfishingadventures1199 Sydney! And yeah whiting and bream :)

@divad435 If you can find time, go on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th of may high tide in the afternoon, and the moon is close to earth during that period target the last half of the run in tide with fresh worms on nippers fingers crossed you get a few let me know how you go 👍

Fresh beach worms are my go-to collect them on th low tide, then fish the run in

Cheers mate 👍

Haha 😄 yeah my mates old boy thought he was on. Auzzy as lad just like to throw the chilly bin in to mix it up.

4.95 Alison Arafura gets the job done 👍

There is a comment on here saying you get them on beaches where the seaweed builds up. Might be worth a look if you find seaweed 😃

@@flacksfishingadventures1199 Awesome mate... hadn't heard that before. I'll give it a go. I find catching sand worms nearly as much fun as catching whiting... and arguably more challenging. But I'm sure they don't taste as good!! 😂😂 Cheers

🙄 dropped the ball 😆

@flacksfishingadventures1199 That's fishing. Make another cast. Cheers

Love it..

No problems, bud. 😊 to help 👍

The rod is an Abu Garcia Eradicator real finesse 7.9ft pe 0.1 to 0.3 (ERFS - 79 ULS - EFX - TZ ) they have the finest tip I've ever seen I've had mine for 4 or 5 years now and haven't damaged it as yet. I do like it for smaller fish. It definitely helps with keeping small fish on the hook with the super soft tip. I can't remember how much I paid for it. I only use it to catch whiting. When I'm using it with Circle Hooks off the beach for whiting, it rarely misses a hook up pretty much every bit equates to a fish. Having said that, I hooked a 2.5kg salmon off the beach, and it took me 15 to 20 minutes to land the fish. Everyone fishing on the beach had to bring their lines in as it was swimming up and down the beach. I gave the fish to 1 of the bloks that was there, so he didn't mind bringing his lines so I could get past.

I think I dropped 3 more that day they all felt the same pulling them up. I just pulled the hook on the others 🫣

For sure, let Auzzy Bob know when you're coming down, and I'll try and get you out there to catch some of those Snaps.

@@flacksfishingadventures1199Fabbo! Coming down for a rendezvous with Whitebeard n Aussie Bob in late March. Looking forward to catching up with Mary too.

sure bud the rod is an Abu Garcia Eradicator real finesse 7.9ft pe 0.1 to 0.3 (ERFS - 79 ULS - EFX - TZ ) they have the finest tip I've ever seen I've had mine for 4 or 5 years now and haven't damaged it as yet... you could probably find something similar in fibre glass that would be a bit more robust. The reel is a quantum exo 25 or 15 I can't recall its pretty beaten up but still works well given its age and abuse and running 6LB Braid .😉 hope this helps and cheers for the question 👍 😀

The ball sinkers I use weight 19 grams. Size 6 bait holder hook or size 4 circle hook work well. 300 to 350 mm of 8 LB leader I always use fluorocarbon leader. And a small swivel

Hope this helps 🙂 fingers crossed that they are still around.

Yeh lovely, thank you. The big rod 9’6 one you mentioned looked like a Daiwa What rod/real is in that setup

@evkore it is a diawa. I'm running 38LB on Quantum Smoke II 50. It proved to be a bit too stiff in the tip with the setup I was running and kept pulling hooks. I'm not sure of the model. I think it was around the $120 mark.

Cheers, legend, keep watching 😉😀 lol

Wow very quick response!

But should be using an alvey mate.

Cheers, bud. I appreciate your support 👍

Cheers, lad. I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍

Haha, yeah, fair point it's hard to keep track of everything. I'll do better 😉👍

That rod that I use has the softest finest tip you'll ever see. Once I get a bite, I just start slow winding, and I hook up every time. I ran out of the circle hooks a few days earlier, nailing the whiting in those gutters.

​@@flacksfishingadventures1199thanks. Can you please share the model of the Rod. ?

@nikhilmathew2101 sure bud it's an Abu Garcia Eradicator real finesse 7.9ft pe 0.1 to 0.3 (ERFS - 79 ULS - EFX - TZ ) they have the finest tip I've ever seen I've had mine for 4 or 5 years now and haven't damaged it as yet... you could probably find something similar in fibre glass that would be a bit more robust. 😉 hope this helps and cheers for the question 👍 😀

@@flacksfishingadventures1199 wow that's $$$$$

Jesus dont they want a dime for those rods now 😂😂😂​@flacksfishingadventures1199

Cheers, lad, glad you're enjoying them. going for another crack this morning, so fingers crossed 🤞

Cheers, bud. I know what you're saying. There is no point showing someone an awesome fish if you don't show them how to catch it. We were all beginners at some point 😃

The ball sinkers I use weight 19 grams. Size 6 bait holder hook or size 4 circle hook work well. 300 to 350 mm of 8 LB leader I always use fluorocarbon leader. And a small swivel

Use a light, soft tip rod with a light drag and never rush to land your fish, even smooth, constant pressure on the fish, slowly working it in 🐌 slow and steady wins the race

Thank you for the feedback. 🙋‍♂️👍

I subscribed, your videos are fine. Sincerely

I'm happy to help with whatever questions you have. Cheers for the sub👍

Yeah, right. I never realised that was the case. Nippers also work extremely well. But now you have me wondering why they are predominantly along the east and south coasts of Australia and not on the west 🤔.. I wonder if you transported some live ones whether you could start a small population of them over there 🤔 or if that would even be legal.

Fished in Geraldton and collected plenty of worms from the seaweed banks,needs to be seaweed that has been on beach for a long time,they aren’t the big worms like those in east but just regular earth worms,the whiting love them.

@@chrisstevens463Thanks for that bit of info Steve. I'm heading to live in the West soon. How do you catch them? Just lift the seaweed, dig for them, or lure them up like a sand worm? Cheers 🍻

@@outdooraussie6355 Just dig for them,it’s need to be old seaweed,you will get dirty hands because it is composted and it will be warm.

In WA I have found that sugar prawns mixed in dessicated coconut are an absolute killer bait for whiting The sugar firms the prawn and the coconut leaves it's own berley trail.

You would be surprised 😮 what you can find at your local. As long as the beach has wash dragging sand down the beach, reasonably well-defined gutter set ups and your willing to move up and down the beach till you find where the school of fish are hanging out in those zones, don't stay in the one spot to long if you're not getting bites move every 5 or 10 minutes some times casting 10m to the left or right can make a massive difference. target the run-in tides in the late arvo and early morning 👍👌. Let me know how you go...

On the South Coast, bud 👍
