I live flick my small rod around the shore of the mid east coast of Australia chasing a variety of sports fish.
I mostly use lures and might live bait if I ever figure out how to do it.
the goal of the channel is to be amusing and educational, my goal fishing is to amuse myself
I give locations, tips and offer my strategies to get onto fish which can be used anywhere, and you'll see in the comments
i mix it up between the yak and land based and will likely run some kayak fishing basics soon.

Top Water Whiting || Summer Holiday Fishing
Summer 2024 my family went to Durras Lake on the mid-East coast of NSW.
I had grand plans of getting offshore however winds of 60km on some days meant the lake was all that could be safely fished, however the closed lake ended up being an awesome fishery over a few days catching Whiting on small top water lures over a few days.

Crazy Kingfish Session || Longreef Sydney Kayak Lure Fishing
Great video as always! There are flats around Bobbin Head. Upstream from the marina tends to get whiting in summer as well as smaller models of the usual estuary suspects. There are also a bunch of little bays as you head out from Apple Tree Bay, but I haven't had much luck with whiting there, probably due to heavy boat traffic in summer. I also subscribe to the "spike-bleed-gut-clean on the spot and straight in salty ice slurry" method, which makes the fish much tastier and I feel much more confident having ceviche (clean flathead slices, lime juice, salt, pepper, a little bit of mango and red onion, on those rectangular plain corn chips - the ultimate taste of summer)
That was an awesome trip away. Well done mate! I love when you can come home with a mixed bag of fish. So good!
abbottsford sydney has a pretty big sandflat/bay and ive spotted whiting there for the past 3 years, nothing big and ive never got them to hit topwater. good luck
Why the whiting chase your lures is on the dark of the moon they hunt the prawns on the prawn runs off the surface as the prawns run out to see to spawn. They think your lures is a prawn. So instead of using a lure that looks like a fish. Id use one that looks like a prawns
The lake is closed!! But thanks for the insight on the moon, I'll have to be more targeted on moon phase and see if it makes a difference
Essential watching on a Sunday morning! I'll get on the back of your Lynx any day!
Some nice hook-ups..love the top water strikes🙏 Have U considered the flats around Port Hacking ? Nice sheltered waters and good fish. Sth West Arm can bring all sorts from trevs and flatties, to whiting, bream and kings. Look forward to watching that one..💯
Just about all the flats in the hacking are accessable by foot too
I'll have to give it a shot, I've managed to find a few spots in the harbour but I would love to take a few home without worrying about heavy metals
@@cballzoutdoors i believe the metals are there but not at the levels they say also why only one side of the harbour bridge when we have tidal flow tonnes of boat traffic and not to forget fish do not sit still they migrate all throughout the harbour and also migrate out to the reefs to breed.i believe its partially a scare tactic. Think about it. Also fish do have levels of mercury naturally
@@cballzoutdoors i believe the heavy metal thing is not as bad as they say. Reasons for this Tidal flow espec bigger tides Boat traffic-large amounts on the harbour Fish migrate all throughout the harbour and its tributaries and some go offshore to breed on the reefs Fish naturally have levels of mercury etc some more so when breeding. Why only west of the bridge
Yeah the boys on the top water
Great vid man, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed
Hey mate, George’s Reef is be the best lure spot around Wollongong I would say, strongly recon to have a try there.
Thanks for the heads up, not much more of a drive to hit a great spot so I'll give it a shot over summer
Leatherjackets are my prawn lure worst nightmsre
I got a little revenge on this one!
smashing the rock spieces, well done
good fishing bloke, those top water going off!
I’ve never done it to now thinking it was a waste of time! Now I’m addicted!
Your such a stud
Thanks mate, I really need the confidence booster after my inability to catch a bream with a lure specifically designed for it
lol near the end in sugarloaf you were fishing next to my friends house
I'll shout at them next time. Those houses are all amazing down there
Becareful top water is addictive 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm hooked! I'm now 5 sessions in of topwater and it's too much fun!
Yes mate keep it up
Hey wait a sec that’s me!
It is!
Made my first purchase of the bulk slug pack & super slims as well. keen to see how they go!
Awesome and thank you! It is the season for it at the moment with lots of pelagic fish around. My best land based advice is to stay mobile, work the water from top to bottom and the person who catches the most fish is the one who keeps their lure in the water (keep casting)
I've read posts from spearos saying bass point is completely dead.
Interesting intel, I wonder why. The area is so full of structure that I was shocked to hear and then also catch nothing of great note
Windang is a waste of time only Samon and asians out there heaps of kings at Bass Point around the bommie but you need a boat to get to them and 90% are undersize rats despite what you know kings are not a warm water fish i have caught my best kings from March onward.
Should come further south next time meet up and take you out to a very nice ledge deep water and good fishing jervis bay area
I was just down that way at durras! What a shame i didn't post this till I was home!!
Thank you for the post mate. Have to say, I have lost few metals at bass point while jigging. It’s a bit tricky jigging at this location. I been bit more successful float fishing with a pilly here.
Agree! The water is so deep though that jigging feels like it the right thing to do! I gave up after 4 lost one's and a horrid line issue
ive fished these spots many times, more windang, havent caught kingfish, tuff spot to get kings there, would look elsewhere. Kingfish have been caught there though but seems as a rare occurrence
Funnily this is one of the only spots I have caught one! And first cast none the less!!
Funnily this is one of the only spots I have caught one! And first cast none the less!!
Yesssss mate what a spot. Been waiting for this one for a while
3 from 3, OK, i'll pres the Like button. 👌
How do you think the ultralight holds up against the bass? Im thinking of getting a short budget rod for skinny water bass, bream and trout
I think the rods etc don't really matter in spots like this.. 8-10lb line is plenty for fish this size in spots this small. Anything bigger and you would struggle to get your small.lures in
@cballzoutdoors would you recommend an ultralight or light power?
@F11sh-f2h the key feature for that style is short. I had a rod that has a mac cast of 6g and I think something heavier would be better so I could throw up to 15 or so grams
sick where is this
Tunks Park boat ramp, i think it's a low tide only spot though
I reckon the kingfish won the race
awesome fish mate, keep it up
Where can I get one of those fish rulers? 😬
Well.... I am trying to get them however the manufacturer needs me to get a quantity I can't store at this point 😅 not sure what I would do with 500 of them!
lol this same spot is where i lost my squidtrex
I would almost jump in to grab it for the cost of one of those!
Looks like a good spot. Have you had a golf ball land in that bay while you are fishing yet😂.
Lol, not yet! I did find 6 though that I claimed as a prize!!
Yes mate
Great vid. I like your set up. Subbed
I love your work too. Subbed on my personal account for a while now
I love middle harbour! So much life present at the moment. Sick vid mate
What conditions are considered safe to use a kayak in the harbour, I capsized mine the other day and extra cautious now.
Great question. I would say no conditions are safe and you need to always manage risk. Regarding flipping, I flipped my first kayak a few times and it turned out it was just too small. Since getting a much bigger hobie I haven't been close to flipping even once.
Hey mate, good session and i got a very similar setup on the Lynx. You got any tips on putting the Hobie Cart at the end of the trip? Constantly putting it on the side or I have to be in deeper water to hoist the lynx on top of the cart.
Hey Mark, I've been to comps and seen a variety of cart methods but I think mine is easiest when solo. I just put the cart in while the kayak is in knee deep water. No risk of spilling stuff off the kayak but you just get a little wet
great video, is whole sale jigs your business??
Thanks Crumpy, yes wholesalejigs.com.au is mine. I've just started it so the format of the site and products on offer may change a bit in the near future
The fishies were looking great today mate!
You are my most valued subscriber
Hi, I am a newbie. Looking for fishing partner
I suggest to try 3 inch minnows or jerkshards and cast around the bust up not inside. If you keep doing quick darting motions that looks like baitfish left outside the bait ball, you get instant hits. However, the key is rigging the plastic as straight as possible, otherwise it won't look realistic. The only problem is you lose the tails if they are tailor :)
Interesting strategy, the tailor was captured off the bust up however just this weekend i tried a baby surface lure in a similar situation and a salmon choked it!!
@@cballzoutdoors ua-cam.com/video/WjGS6SjfDUs/v-deo.html My friend has been hooking lots of kings with this technique. It works even when there is no bust up. Probably, it triggers fish's predatory instincts seeing a baitfish swimming like crazy.
@devoker666 that looks amazing.. if I ever rig one straight in sure to catch something
Heaps EPs around those pontoon near the boat ramp mate. Get the surface lures out 👍
My mum told me I couldn't handle surface 🙃
Hey mstey were do you lauch from ive got a pa14 on trailer its hard to find good spots
This is right up your alley. Tunks Park boat ramp, has trailer only parking in abundance
There were quite a few tailor bustups in Cowan Creek last weekend - they only wanted soft plastics and didn't care much for hard bodies and spinners
I'm hoping the frenzied tailor mean in the next few weeks bigger predators show up!!
I was kayak fishing in bobbin head marina 2 weeks ago and caught 15 tailor on a baitjunkie 2.5 minnow. The tailor were busting up like crazy. To bad I got kicked out😭💀
Fingers crossed for the predator theory - will be testing it bright and early tomorrow morning
Wife comment 😂😂😂😂
Next time your heading to Forster shoot me a message and we can go find some chunky boys
I will have to! Listening to a podcast cast everyone struggled!
@@cballzoutdoors it’s a funny system, the following weekend I pulled 5 fish for a total of 3.2kg in under an hour not 30m from where you guys paddled through the start buoy’s 🤣
@MitchBig88 🥲
Please share the stl file for this. Looks awesome.
I'm not actually happy with it just yet! I'll upload to cg trader when it's perfect. I need to change the shape of the rattle weight shift chamber
Fantastic, should work well
LOOOOVE! woodford bay, that sandstone/sandy bottom has produced many-a-nice flathead dinner. great video 10/10.
Where did you get your net from
I will have them up on my site by about December 1st
Fish like a champion
Measuring a fish is nose to notch in the centre of the tail. Everyone is doing this mistake, wishful thinking
I know other states do to the end of the fork for legal size limits, but NSW is the fun state!
