Catching Cuttlefish
s07e40
Cuttlefish have been a bit hard to come by this season, but now that it is getting toward the end of the season, I am starting to do a bit better.
In this video I will take you through the gear I have been using and then show you what I did to improve my catch rate in this difficult season.
It might be a bit late for you to benefit from it this season but keep it in mind for the next season.
Cuttlefish are particularly fascinating animals. If you would like to find out more about them, try this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttlefish

I had to get the tools out and do some disassembly to allow me to store the Minn Kota manually. B...

Love this channel!
Glad to hear it!
I love your information rich videos and your straight forward delivery. I always learn something, thanks. I'm in the my later 60s as well and remember being in my teens and seeing a fellow at the Woody Point jetty using a prawn on a squid spike. He wrapped it up with cotton to stop them tearing it apart, as big prawns were quite expensive then. Regarding the snot weed on the barbs, I just hold the jig upside down and use a toothbrush to clear it.
Thank you, I'm glad you like them. Good tip about the snot weed. I prefer not to collect it :-) but I will try your suggestion next time.
Can I ask what you use for burly?
Old bait. After it's been out with me a few times, thawed and refrozen, it goes into the burley compartment of the freezer. I either chop it into small pieces and toss one over every minute or so or I put it in the burley bucket and use the plunger every now and then to send some particles out. See this video for the burley dispenser: ua-cam.com/video/o4tiQXrE-wk/v-deo.html
@@weFishAU love it! Thank you for this. That’s great. Oh I tried to get my name on the RBC list. They’ve got 49 people on the waiting list and they’ve closed their books. That is a clear sign that the public ramps aren’t doing their job at satisfying the growing demand on the weekends
The club held its AGM on the 25th. I believe there was going to be a decision about alowing new members in at that meeting. Might pay to keep an eye on the waiting list for a week or two, see if it opens up for a period.
I remember anchoring under the light at the end of the sand loading jetty at Dunwich one night. Would have been around 45 years ago now I guess. The water was just black with them. We didn't try to catch them though as back then it never occurred to us. We'd never heard of Calamari. LOL.
Yeah, back then we didn't know what we were missing.
I have been a keen amateur fisherman since I can remember, I am 75 now and have fished most of Australia, South East Asia, the barrier reef, Solomons, New Guinea, and several other Pacific Islands and I still learn something from your video every week. I have never before seen anyone use prawns on a squid jig! I have of course used the prawn-shaped jigs but never thought it through. I spent my formative years around Port Phillip and fished the huge squid and cuttlefish there using jigs and a mullet for bait as the fluoro jigs and the prawn-shaped jigs had not been invented then. The squid in the waters just inside the rip entrance to Port Phillip used to just fit in a Nally bin in those days and were prolific. I guess we used mullet as that was their natural catch there as large prawns did not exist in the cold water. My point is to thank you once again for sharing and proving that an old dog can still learn new tricks.
Thank you. Like yourself, I hadn't heard of squid jigs until recent years. Prior to that I used a more brute force approach :-) I really enjoy chasing them on jigs now though, wish I had started earlier.
Noting a comment about a mark at the time, but later, it becoming a cryptic puzzle, is spot on. Many thanks for taking the time to do this video and pointing people in the general area. Too many vids are just about showing a fish coming up and someone saying "that's a beauty" with no related info. Again, many thanks.
Thank you. Glad you liked it and got something out of it. As you say, too many videos of people just catching fish.
Awesome stuff! As a Redlander and a land fisher who’s about to buy his first boat, thank you! My son loves fishing, but doesn’t love the taste lol. I on the other hand could eat fish every day. 😃
Thank you. Fishing with your kids makes a lot of great memories. One good thing about your young fella not liking to eat fish, leaves more for you. :-)
@@weFishAU100% !
Hi Thanks for the vid, great end to end info, shared in simple and interesting way😊 You have perked my interest to get some pots, Everyone talks about south side sandies, is there any decent spots on the north side of the bay?
Awesome, thank you. It's been a LOT of years since I crabbed the north side of the bay. We did get a good feed of crabs dropping pots in Pumistone passage back in the early 90's. Used to stay at the Toorbul caravan park and drop the pots mostly south from the ramp if I remember correctly. Also in Elimbah creek I think. Watch out for the green zone north of there. I know there are sandies out from the sandhills on Moreton Island. And I have seen pots dropped near Crab Island in Days Gutter. I have mentioned some crabbing spots in the Moreton Bay playlist. The only one I remember is about 3 1/2 minutes into this video: ua-cam.com/video/IfLvba3JE3w/v-deo.html Not sure if there are any others. My best tip is to keep an eye out for where others are crabbing reguarly and drop your somewhere in that area, not too close to theirs. The trick is to find the depth they are at and then put all your pots at a similar depth in that area. Hope you get a good feed.
I have been using size 6 or 8 hooks for mine, mainly catching herring on them for threadies in the brisbane river if my cast net spots draw a blank. Is there a reason you use 1/0 hooks? Just curious if I should make the change.
No, the hooks on that rig are size 6. I usually use size 6, 8 or 10. 12 occasionally. I feel that 8 is a good all round compromise, but sometimes I can pick up rigs with the other sizes a lot cheaper.
A great informative series, I have fished Moreton and Surround for over 40 years and still pick something up from every one of your vids. Thank you once again.
Thank you, glad you like them.
Thanks Great video on mechanical breaks. Can’t find the stainless adjuster on eBay - where did you find it ?
Thank you. I'm glad they aren't available on eBay any more. The one featured in that video was sold as stainless steel but it was not. Rusted out same as the first one. Check out this video to see how I eventually solved the problem: ua-cam.com/users/shorts7vUhduE18Ak
Very Very interesting topic!! Keep up good work mate. 👌👍
Thanks, will do!
I forgot to mention, I try too use a size 6 or 8 hook for pike and bonito if I know they are the main bait species in the area.
I got a sabiki rod and it's great, just need to point it to the line as you wind in or the hooks can catch on the fluted lip. well worth it though.
I didnt have too much of a problem with that. It just didn't suit my jigging style like the Penn rod, I catch a lot more fish with the Penn.
Huge amount of information in those vids, thank you, I enjoy all of your videos and look forward to them each week. Did you notice that the nut on your bait tank drain/inlet pipe is cracked?
Thank you. Yes I did. There is so much stikaflex on the installation that I expect I will have to break the pipe to get it off so I have been putting it off. I will have to attend to it before too much longer.
@@weFishAU Not urgent I reckon but it could let you down when you least expect it, unlikely to sink the boat though. I think it is a testament to your photography that I actually saw it.
@@constable49 True, it is always in the back of my mind.
Great tips on the bait hooks
Thank you.
I don't have a sounder so i enjoyed a bit more education on them.
I have used a sounder since the late 60'2 when my father bought a Furuno sounder that recorded the fish on a paper roll. We still used marks back then, and again when I fished from the tender when I had the big boat and no sounder on the tender, so I have experience of doing it both ways. I would hate to go back to doing it without a sounder now.
All good advice there...
Thank you.
You make that look so easy & the result was a beauty snapper.
It's not always easy, but having the right bait and finding the fish on the sounder helps a lot :-)
I watched all of them and I am not sure I learned anything new but good to watch anyway, just in case. I am lazy and just cut the sabiki rigs in half and have only three hooks as I find them a lot easier to manage. Couldn't help noticing that nut on your live bait well entry pipe is cracked but I am sure you will be aware of it. Thank you once again I look forward to your vids each week.
I have been hooked a couple of times so I always want an even number of hooks on my sabiki so I can link them together, out of the way. Yes, it has been cracked for a little while. The stikaflex is holding it securely. I need to break the whole thing out to fix it, so I have put it off for the last couple of months.>ven if the nut does break I think the stikaflex will hold it.
Grinners seem to try to eat anything no matter the size. Had a squire and a tailor on one lure a couple of months ago. Squire on the back hook tailor on front.
There seem to be more grinners around now than I ever remember encountering.
@weFishAU I've only started fishing the bay this year, sure are alot of grinners out there.
My father started taking me fishing before I started school, so I have been fishing the bay and offshore for about 60 years now,. Sharks are worse now as well.
@weFishAU that's why I've been watching. I don't know my way around yet but you do. Cheers for the vids
mate you need go to the gym thought you were going to pass out all that huffin and puffin lol
Normalising the audio makes it sound worse than it is. That said, you should have heard it before I lost weight. :-)
Thanks again good watch
Thank you for watching.
Legend
Hardly, but thank you. :-)
what sort o f bait forthe whiting Paul
Frozen red worms from Mr Bait.
Nice work
Thanks
A great trip Paul, sad about the mackerel, you certainly gave it a good try. As you say whiting are good fun and great on the plate too. The crab feed really topped it off. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I was suprised I couldn't find at least a couple of Mackerel, by all reports there were a lot of them in the areas I trolled the week before. It shows what a difference a week can make. On the plus side, my wife wants me to catch more whiting now. :-)
Great haul mate!
Thanks. It was a good feed.
Ripper fish good stuff
Thanks, t'was a nice feed.
My dad taught me that knot for hooks. He called it a Snood knot
It could have more than one name. An old professional fisherman taught it to me when I was just a kid, I only discovered that it had any name about a year ago.
Thanks for the video. I was out on the bay yesterday and followed your guide on where to put my pots... came back with 18 keepers from 4 pots. Oh and each pot had half a mullet and half a grinner in it, the mullets were a bit chewed up but the grinners were all gone, the crabs seem to love them.
You're welcome. Glad you got a good feed. Grinners are magic crab bait, never would have known if I hadn't been short of bait one day.
thanks again great info
Thank you. You're welcome.
Bit greedy catching so many crabs so frequently there Paul
We have six children and 18 grandchildren. None go to waste. Jealousy is a curse.
@@weFishAU six kids and 18 grand children im sorry to hear that Paul. You've picked the wrong person to use the jealousy line. I catch what I need and keep it sustainable, no greed.
I'm sorry you don't have a large family, it is a blessing. 20 per person is sustainable, read the rules.
Bag limits are in place for a reason. Don't bag someone for sticking to the rules Karen.
@@smithys3512-lg5yx Just because it's legal doesn't make it right. Clearly the point has gone straight over your head. Reread my comments 🤪
great video as always. heading out to peel on monday weather looking good , is there any spots around peel you would recommend? i usually fish west peel artificial but sharks have been abit of a nuisance as of recently. also, where were you catching all those cracker cuttlefish at the start? cheers
I like to fish around south west rocks but I mainly get Snapper/Squire there and it is closed season for them until 16th August. Years ago I caught flathead and grassys around Hole In The Wall / Platapus but I haven't fished that end of the island recently. You can also get squid a bit to the east of the Platapus jetty. Shallow there so don't let your jig go too deep or you will lose it. I also occasionally fish around Hanlon light and in toward the Red buoy in the Lazerette, but again, you will get Snapper/Squire as well as Mackerel and a few other species. Have a look in the video from 14:50 to 16:16 and you will see the knot of lines where I was drifting off Wellington Point, a bit south of the ramp. Look around 7m to 8 m anywhere from the red off Empire Point up to Huybers Light. Standard squid jig with a #4 ball sinker on top. Good luck.
So frustrating when you get bitten off so much. I find it makes me second guess my equipment and line and I usually give up and go heavy but then you get fewer bites. On this occasion, you seem to be getting bitten off above the baits. This is of course more common when live baiting. No way around it I reckon. Lovely feed of crabs though! Thanks for the video, please keep them coming.I look forward to seeing them every week.
Thank you, I will. I got bitten off so much on that trip that, if I had any wire on board, I would have tried it. I think there were quite a few sharks around but I also think some of the ones I lost were tailor.
Great catch mate. How come you rmuse the Hummingbird still?
Thank you. The Humminbird is linked to the Minn Kota. Also. it gives a very clear picture of structure on the bottom.
Wow nice catch crabs 2 pots yummo
Heaps of crabs around at the moment, very tasty.
I was out there yesterday into the evening, having one last crack at the snapper before closure. Did quite well using orange 3.2inch bait junkies on a 1/4oz jighead on 8lb line. Sound around until you find a school, then spot lock about 10m down current. Cast the lure about 25m up-current, and let it work its way to the bottom. They'll usually hit it before it hits the bottom. If not, bounce the lure a few times before trying again. Seemed to catch pan to medium sized snapper while most boats around weren't getting anything. Chased some squid around the flats near SW rocks until the sun set, then anchored between the E cardinal and the Green after dark, and landed a few more snapper and a 1m jewie. Got snipped off by several tailor, and a couple of hammerhead's. Just kept a couple of snapper and released the rest. Most of what I've learnt about fishing around peel, has been from your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge!
Thank you, you're welocme, glad it helped. I went into Horseshoe to anchor up about 8:30 last night, saw you anchored up out there. I was pretty tired after 14 hours on the water so I went into 2m of water so I had a nice calm sleep. I was fishing West Peel from the afternoon into the night, got smoked so many times and bitten off by big tailor, one decent one right at the net.
where about's do you go to get yakka in the bay?
Lots of places. I can usually find some near where I fish. Curtin, Harries and West Peel around the artificial reef structure. Naval banks if you are fishing north of Peel. Rous Knob if you are fishing near there. The channel beacons if you are fishing further north. Not necessarily yakkas, could be herring or slimies but all good bait.
Another great trip. I like the way you hook the sabiki hooks together and wrap them around the rod for storage. After losing my temper too many time I finally bought one of those internal sabiki rig rods. They are great but take and up space in the boat but I love it. Where is the new rod?
Thank you. I only needed to get them snagged on something a couple of times to figure out a better way. I have got one of those hollow rods, I found that a lot of sabiki rigs were too long to store properly and due to the stiffness I didn't catch as much bait as I do with my Penn Battle II rod. I had both new rods out that day. I think the one I built was the one that caught the snapper. Silver overhead on that one.
You are a practical man - great, logical evidence-weighted sharing. Very welcome. Thanks for the effort.
Thank you. You are very welcome.
I like a little walk around Green Island. Big snapper run past Mud Island out deep, but the wind has to be just right & its an over nigher to get the biggies.
I have never fished out deep of Mud island although several people have told me that is where the big ones are. I must try it some time.
Amazing bit of history...
Gotta love the history around our bay. :-)
Love the look of these and the facebook site is great but the website link appears to have some issues at present I will try again later.
I couldn't get the web site to work either but the email link is working.
Grinners is great for whiting bait. Just a tiny strip does the job. Couldn't believe we caught more on grinners than we did on blood worms.
I've had quite a few people tell me they have caught fish on them and I don't doubt they have. Personally I have never had a bite on them whereas the rod next to it with a different bait has caught fish.
Great vid. You need a crab cooker. All those crabs 1 pot. No need to bring back to boil. 6 minutes cleaned.
Thank you. Difficult to justify a crab cooker for the number I catch for my wife and I. I don't like them once they have been frozen so the aim is to catch what we can eat immediately and if I get too many we usually give some away. Perhaps a crab cooker would make a difference but the way I do it I have found that bringing it back to the boil has worked for me for nearly 60 years. It is a case of don't change what works.
@@weFishAU if it works. Then it works.
I splice a loop into each end of my ropes, leave the rope in the pot, just loop it on itself on the pot, and the floats are spliced onto a short piece of rope, with a shark clip on that, store them all on one float rope. Easier to tie off if not using a float
@billmarsh7104 That's a good idea as well. I just keep my ropes separate because I use the same rope between all my different pots.
@@weFishAU I just have a rope on each one
I could not get on plane..... Today I put a hydrofoil on and SHAZAM! I ACHIEVED PLANE!!! I went from 10 mph max with my fat arse on the tiller to planing with 24 mph! Yaaaaaaay, me!
It's amazing how much difference they make to some boats.
Gee it's been a long time since I used to go crabbing between Victoria Point and Coochie. Those 40 years went fast 🙂 Do they still use suicide pots or are the illegal now?
The old suicide pots have been illegal for quite a while. They say they caught too much by catch. I don't remember there being all that much, although back in those days we checked them reguarly. Between Victoria Point and Coochie used to be a good spot, set the pots and drift the banks fishing between checks.
@@weFishAU I don't recall getting any by-catch. That used to be a good area. I guess it's probably not as good these days as there are a lot more people living around there compared to back in the day.
@garysheppard4028 around Cleveland still produces so I can't see why Victoria Pt wouldn't as well.
@@weFishAU Oh right. Thanks.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
