Thanks Nick. Was a fantastic way to finish my 2024 freshwater adventures. The quality of the fish was outstanding and the trifecta a true bonus.

With the V Blades going off the market I needed to find an affordable option. Very happy with the lure and having found it.

@PTPFishing certainly do the job Peter

Very effective

Sorry for the slow reply. It is a size 4 Mustad Kaju Inline single. This has been the best size for me.

Thanks Michael, tough going fishing wise here with all the rain. They have been a little tough to find.

@PTPFishing yep went in a comp with Ray on Sunday tough day didn't register a fish but it's always good to get out any chance I can get mate 👌

There are worse places to be

@@PTPFishing 👍👍👌👌

There is a car park and launch area at Forgans Cove.

The public kayak fishing zone.

Hi Michael, I haven’t. It has been closed to paddle craft since I returned from a trip down south. Some fish will go, but not that many. It is the time of the year that they push up the system, not down, so hopefully they will just push further up the reservoir.

ive also been wanting to try some soft plastics in the dam. do you have any recommendations? i was thinking a yabbie imitation could work well.

Ian it is well worth persisting. It has not been an easy year to find the fish and even when you do, loose one and they seem to disappear. I have done a couple of videos with tips for Enoggera, they are well worth watching. Outside of that. 5cm lipless crank baits and fishing close to the lily pads are the keys and after that it is just persistence. Time on the water will help you crack the code.

Have never had much joy with plastics there. If I was going to fish one, it would be a 3 or 3.5 inch paddle tail soft plastic on a 1/6th or 1/4oz jig head. Again rolled along the lily pads edges.

I personally use divers in enoggera, they get the job done, I usually come out the end of the day with at least 3-4 bass, I use stumpjumpers and the samaki ds60, but really anything that dives around ~4 metres usually works.

4 metre divers, will give that a try. Not too many areas you can fish those. Interesting.

Interesting, I don’t get to go and do this as often as I would like. I would definitely love to check them more often, but as you say restrictions are in place. Lost and abandoned pots is certainly an issue. I did a volunteer day with fisheries and we removed over 200 pots in 3 hours. All just abandoned or ropes on trees. Will be interesting to see what the new regulations will be when opera house style pots are banned.

Thanks Nick. It has been so much fun putting them all together. May many more videos be in my future.🎣😃👍

Thanks. Thank you for all the shares 👍👍

Thanks Michael. That has always been the hope with the videos. That people take a few tips from them and then translate that into their own fishing. I am still learning myself, which keeps it fun too.

Thanks, I will do my best 👍🎣

You know me, I love tinkering and trying new things.

Let’s hope common sense prevails 👍

We tried a couple and just caught barred grunter and tilapia. Will do it properly one day. I think you would need a lot of shrimp and some patience to get past the pest fish, but would be FUN. Toga and his mate were not interested in anything I threw at them.

Jet skis ended up being a blessing in disguise. I don’t think we would have gone up stream otherwise. Plenty of guys kayak, just so big an area to cover. Gets tricky in the boat with the wind, kayak would be even more of a challenge I think.

Yep was definitely saying kayak 😂. Have had that happen so often in the yak, that saying that has become a habit. Bit more control when it happens in the boat 😉

That is amazing. They fascinate me as to how big they can grow and frustrate me, as they can be very difficult to catch at time. Something different that is just good fun.

@PTPFishing My favourite bait for attracting large Redclaw, Murray crayfish and even mudcrabs is tripple smoked bacon bones. I cut them into little pieces with a hacksaw to fit them into the bait holder on the Redclaw traps. Cheers.

I will give that a try. I have tried so many different baits. The dry cat or dog food has been the most consistent.

I've caught them the length of a 50l Esky lid. Tail end on one end and the claws hanging over the other end. I could only squeeze 3 together side by side across the width of the Esky lid and the two on the edges had their legs hanging over the edge of the lid..that was Fairburn dam out at emerald (well known for monster red claw)..i got the photos on my phone

They get pretty big. Made for a great feed.

@PTPFishing I reckon they would mate

Superb

Thanks it was a ton of fun. It is the Bone Drago 610M. The latest version is a cracka.

Was lots of fun. A bit of a laugh as well.

It was a size 6, but I think I will play with one size bigger. I felt I missed a lot of bites.

@PTPFishing ok mate

They have certainly made a positive 1st impression. 😉👍

Definitely. There is a small membership cost. All the details are at www.suntag.org.au Check it out.

👍thanks mate

That is a great fish. There are some good yellas in that top end of the system. Well done.

It was a fun first two days. I always enjoy catching up with Ray and playing with new colour options.

@@PTPFishing yep I will going around to catch up with Sunday avo for bit of chat

@@michalesinclair5274 say gday from me 😃

That’s awesome. I have seen a few down near the golf course. The creek looks pretty sick in the upper reaches, but that middle zone seems to have a better water flow. Good to see the creek holding a few fish.

Let’s look at getting up there. Boat not kayak though 😉

@@PTPFishing sounds like a plan, haven’t been on a boat in a very long time 🙂👍🏻

@@Pukka1963 let’s chat 👍

No worries, I am glad you got something out of it.

Thank you as always

Just orderd a couple of those tango shads to try in the Hume peter

Thank you. Yes it was a fun video to put together. That last fish was just the icing on the cake. 👍🎣

That sticker puts a smile on my face every time I look at. I hope I never loose that passion. 👍🎣👍🎣 Dan

Hi Jake, this was filmed a couple of years ago and the gentleman I was fishing with had issues with my videos. I hadn't released the video until now, to ensure no further animosity occurs.

They are actually rod floats. Freak Sports and a few others stock them.

@@PTPFishing Thanks

Joe it is hard to find consistent areas that the fish are holding. Lots of of one off bites. I always enjoy the paddle though.

Good old Gold. Consistent fish catcher. The fish are certainly healthy, just need them to be a little easier to locate.

Yes there are some better models in there. They certainly wake you up when they hit after catching much smaller fish. Good luck and let me know how you go.

@PTPFishing not the hottest session this afternoon. Just 3 smaller models spreadout over a few hours. Found a few huge lungfish cruising in the lilypads though which was a fun bonus

@@jackanderson3284a few is better than none. If the lungfish are on the move, the bass should get more active. At least that what I have experienced in the past.

Thanks 👍

From Your Outdoor Experience.. www.youroutdoorexperience.com.au Lots of good stuff on there. 😃

@@PTPFishing mm sounds interesting mate will have a look

@@michalesinclair5274 let me know what you think

@@PTPFishing will do

No worries Nick, it will take a bit to find the right zones, but the fishing is on the up and up.

I used to sell heaps of them when I was in retail. Great value. I hadn’t used one for years. Very impressed. Both reels were very good, the SLX would be a great option and excellent value for money at under $200.

@@PTPFishing yes mate curado are getting pricey now even with my son Paul being a manager in a big retail tackle store I might just try slx mate

@@michalesinclair5274 yes they are at a different level these days. It was nice to have a play with one.

Because of the run in the tide we were using 3/8oz and 1/4oz.

Because of the run in the tide we were using 3/8oz and 1/4oz jigheads.

Most use 10lb or maybe 15lb. I find with the quality braids these days that they can be a very fine diameter. So I run 20lb and adjust my leader to the waterway. 15lb at Kurwongbah because of the weed and 10lb most other places.

@@PTPFishing thanks peter 👍i just checked what i'm using (i always take a pic of the packs before spooling up) and i'm currently running 20lb braid which is crazy thin at 0.21mm and 16lb fluro leader. the braid can be a bit wiry initially but it's really supple by the end of one session. as a combo it's worked well so far but it's always interesting to experiment with these things, especially if it increases casting distance/accuracy.

@@jakewilliamson I am different with my spin tackle. 6lb or 8lb braid and 10-15lb leader.

Jake most bait cast reels now have a left hand wind version. Left hand wind much easier to get these days.

@@PTPFishing yup, in europe it's the other way around, harder and more expensive to find a right hand wind 👍

@@jakewilliamsonthat was the case here too. But that has changed over the last 2-3 years

Cracka fish. Zman will always have a place, but the CrushCity plastics have hit the mark.

G’day Chris, thanks for saying hi. It was a tough day. I got 3 fish where you saw me, but then it got really tough. Water got dirty and the fishing slowed drastically. Only got five more fish after that. All trolling Tango Shad’s on the flats.

@@PTPFishing I WAS WONDERING what colour worked for you on the Tango Shad, i was trolling a green not a bite ours were on Double clutch lures, sorry for not coming over to say g/day next time mate. Cheers Chris

@@dingydate no worries re coming over. Glad you said hi. Pretty sure it was UV green. Looks like a prawn. Great colour.

Joseph we have found them all over the place and caught them in many places. Can’t say I have ever targeted them specifically, but any drop offs, rock bars or where structure is under the water. Most of the ones I have caught have been where we are trying to catch bream and flathead. Sorry most probably isn’t very helpful.
