Hi fishing fanatics!
I grew up fishing with my dad since I was a kid, then soon forgot about this hobby during my teens and early adulthood and it was only recently I've rediscovered this lost passion of mine. I try to fish as much as I can and document my journey along the way. I have many videos to share, so much my family are sick of watching them.
I would say I'm a fishing addict, enough said.
I have a few years of fishing experience offshore (no boat though), inshore, harbour and only recently I purchased my first kayak a Hobie Outback 2019.

Filleting Eastern Wirrah Cod
Filleting an Eastern Wirrah Cod. Aka old boots aka mother in law fish.
A fish generally not welcomed by most fisherman but loved by a minority.
Fish is very slimy and slippery which makes it difficult to handle and fillet.
Wirrah have a firm flesh and thick skin, I suppose it possible to scale but I think it's much easier to skin instead.

Filleting Garfish a Better Way?
Переглядів 61621 день тому
Trying different ways to fillet garfish. This in my opinion is a better way as you don't have to clean the guts out and the rib cage bones are removed in the process. As for the pin bones if deep frying I would leave them in, if shallow pan frying I would cut them out. #garfish #ballyhoo #torqeedofishing #torqeedoaustralia #sydneykingfish #yellowtailkingfish #kingfish #jewfish #mulloway #isofis...

PB 53cm Bluespot Flathead caught in approx 50m. Overall fishing was slow and current at the bottom was strong which made fishing difficult as my rig kept snagging. A few blue bottles about which made fishing tricky and painful. Overall a great morning with fantastic conditions. A few sharks about taking my live baits and strip baits.

Snapper Fishing North Head

Morning session targeting reds today, shame the Morwong wasn’t red! Today’s conditions was an extreme test of my balance and perseverance. Sloppy, windy, wet, choppy, rain, repeat. It’s safe to say the swell forecast was way off. Fishing started off slow and then picked up at the change of tide. The tax man showed up 3 times and made light effort of the 20lb leader. On the way back the swell wa...

Filleting Spotted Bigeye
Переглядів 4722 місяці тому
Filleting spotted bigeye that was caught in Sydney Harbour. Great eating flesh that doesn't have a fishy smell, with a clean and subtle taste. Doesn't get dry when steamed, pan fried or panko crumbed. A versatile fish that's great on the plate, just don't try to scale this fish 😂
Fishing Donut Saver
Переглядів 1212 місяці тому
Is this a donut 🍩 saver? Missed out the kingfish frenzy this morning and was resigned to the fact I was probably going for an effortless donut today. A strong southerly wind made fishing rather difficult but I was lucky to find a patch of bait and a school of soapies nearby. I managed to catch 4 squid on a 1.8 squid jig and I can’t decide if I should use them for bait or to eat? Scored 2 free l...

Exploring Sydney Offshore Wrecks
Переглядів 4193 місяці тому
The weekend conditions were so good I had to take the opportunity to explore some Sydney Offshore wrecks. There wasn't much of the wrecks left but there was some good bait holding around it. Fished various depths 30m - 50m and it was a bit challenging as the current was pretty strong out wide. Could only manage one drop per drift before I had to motor up current. It's the first time I have ever...
Rats and Soapies in Sydney Harbour

A day full of rats and soapies in Sydney Harbour, I guess this is better than a donut. Caught using a mix of dead and live bait and lures. When I say sardine it's actually a herring as this bait has no spots. Rats = undersized yellowtail kingfish Soapies = undersized mulloway aka jewfish

brad you using pe1.7 for browns?
actually just saw it was pe2.5 👍
@@MrGavo1978 Pe 2.5 on the electric but I do bring the Ocea Jigger 2000 which is running pe1.7
@bradleyseeto nice - is manual winding a punish? Lol
That is the most complicated way to fillet flathead I've seen
seems like a slippery one. good job.
Nice fillet mate, I wish you much success and good fortune!
You need a sharper knife my man
noted
for the slimy fish i will often rub them with salt and rinse them off and it removes most of the slime
Thanks for the tip
or just pour hot water on it for a few seconds
Great suggestion thanks
Love a bit of John Dory
Never tried John Dory but I’ve heard it’s better than Mirror Dory
@@bradleyseeto it is amazing, no fishy taste just perfect.
@@bradleyseetoGemfish are pretty tasty too. Got a nice catch mate.!
Sharpen your knife bro..... the rest is ok
Oh the knife is sharpened before any filleting session. The issue is the fish is so damn slippery even on this Hasegawa cutting board.
Is Daiwa LeoBritz S500J any good ? Do you think it can pack 600m of PE3? I use Saltiga Dura braid x8.
It's ok can't really fault it's my first electric reel so I don't have anything else to reference. I think it could fit 600m or PE3 but you would have to pack it on really tight.
How much line were you able to pack into your LeoBritz electric reel? PE 2.5 is very light for deep dropping?
About 600m from memory on the LeoBritz. If you're deep dropping with 2kg weights I wouldn't use pe 2.5. For jigging pe2.5 is more than acceptable, I have also used pe 1.7 on the Ocea Jigger 2000 without issues paired with 600-700g jigs. The advantage of running such light line is the minimal resistance compared to thicker line and its able to maintain a more vertical position which prides better contact feel
Is this reel any good?
Excellent. Your mastery of the blade is borne out by the results.
Thanks, I wouldn't say I have mastered it but slowly improving with practice. Recording this helps me remind myself what to do and what not to do.
Wow, i never knew about this style of fishing and now i am hook. Is the any Facebook groups i should join to learn more? I am in Sydney. I want to give it a try. Nige
Thanks for dropping by. There is a FB group but it's not very active, called "Deep Jigging Australia"
Do you have a lithium battery if so what size and pound your moter can you show me how your got it set up mate
I have a lithium battery which comes with the motor, It's a Torqeedo Ultralight 403 electric motor which is equivalent to 1Hp. It doesn't state what pound thrust but the battery will last all day on water depending on how hard you push the motor. At half throttle I'm already at 75% top speed, so going full throttle will only get you a fraction more speed which isn't worth it.
I just got one today 55.4 cm . The same spot and kayak fishing too
Well done, what other fish did you manage to catch?
Love the videos mate.
Thanks
Great fight. Where do you launch your kayak? Cheers
North Harbour Sailing Club. But I've been told you can also do a beach launch at Forty Baskets Beach but haven't tried as my kayak is a bit too heavy to drag over sand.
@@bradleyseeto thanks. I once launch mine at Little Manly beach and there is a boat ramp there.
🙏🙏
Nice vids bro! Just followed the channel ❤ have a peak at some of our content from Auckland nz 😊
Thanks
The devilish will Die as its swim ladder was wrecked from the rapid ascent to shallow water
We will never know if it survived or died from barotrauma, either way it was returned as quickly as possible.
😂 nice catch
Nice video mate. That swell looks fierce, do you take anything for seasickness when you go out?
yea that particular day was pretty sloppy. No I don't take anything as I got my sea legs when I was a kid fishing with my dad. Lots of fond memories throwing up over the side of the boat!
@@bradleyseeto 🤣 oh yes, I don't throw up anymore thankfully.... the rough stuff just makes me nauseous till I get back on land
Also what rod is that your useing
Storm Adajo AJS631-1. It's just a boat slow jigging rod
Another great session your mate in the native I see he's got boondox I've just got a set yet to put on the pa14 does he like them also do you have a moter on your rear yak and what battery do you guys use
I also have the boondox and loved it until the weight got too much and started to bulge underload. So I have retired it and now using the railblaza c-tug R. You probably don't want to hear this but I personally wouldn't use it, not unless you are really careful with how much weight is placed on it. I even created a larger custom backing plate to fit into the kayak to spread the load but even then it just couldn't handle it. So it was safer just to convert over to the c-tug r and not have any worries. Hobie really need to start innovating as the scupper carts were great at the time, now everyone carries a lot more gear and you'll see more scupper cracks in the forums. The horizontal bar on the ctug R does a great job in distributing the load. I have a torqeedo 403 electric motor which came with a large battery that will last all day if you don't go full throttle constantly. Expensive unit but I can't see myself fishing without it.
epic session legend, what were you using as bait?
live yakka and herring/pilchards
mubarak mubarak mubarak....
Nice video Bradley, how do you strap your rods on a kayak, what leash do you use thanks
I use these straps share.temu.com/dsD3jjXGyIA
ALR thanks, but whee do you hook the clip onto the rod
@@srduckyoce1084ahh yes I use a thin Velcro strap prob about 1cm wide and wrap a stainless steel key ring around the rod. I make sure the Velcro isn’t on too tight to allow it to slide up and down the rod butt. Also make sure you have atleast one wrap around the rod before securing the key ring to avoid scratches.
Nice work mate! What assist hooks are you running on the 60g jig pls?
1/0 hooks
Nice. What was the swell height and sec apart ?
Unfortunately I won't be able to remember this! My guess less than 1m.
@@bradleyseeto allgood bro. Keen to give it a crack offshore that’s all haha
Nice video Bradley, what rod do you use with the certate?
It's a Storm Adajo PE1 slow jigging rod. It's an old model which isn't made anymore.
What a great time out there. Looks like fun. Do you catch live squid up there as well? And lures and jigs. Well done.
Yes squid can be caught, but not consistently
Were did you launch from what area is that what pound line are you useing there
oh wow please atleast take me out to dinner first! :)
@bradleyseeto ok dinner first then your secret spots haha
Nice catch bro.. are the kings around in the winter?
Wow. You are good at that. What’s your favourite weight and shape of jig? I can catch them on live squid but yet to find one to take my jig. I have tried squidtrex and a flutter jig. I also fish the eastern side of the spit bridge. Any help would be much appreciated from a master 🤙👊
Thanks but I wouldn't call myself good, just lucky sometimes. Firstly you need to find the fish on the sounder and they try various lures. For vertical jigging I'm just using a 150g lure and just pause every so often. They can be found sometimes hanging in shallow waters 12-15m so you don't need to jig that fast. If they don't take the vertical, I'll switch to slow jigs. When they are picky they'll only take live squid or cuttlefish.
Awesome. Do you come through the bridge sometimes or just stay on the up side ?😂
more wrecks to explore on the upside
Nope
Nice job 🍀😉👍
Thanks
should try using sliders one day - or baku baku , nice vid mate.
After several months of rewiring my Lowrance Hook2 Triple shot several times (electrics are not my forte) I gave up & took it into Whitworths in Lambton & found the unit had gone to heaven. I now have a working basic Lowrance FS 7" that I wired in myself & it & the transducer are working perfectly. I also made a DIY Transducer arm for the transducer because the hull cavity would not accept the larger transducer. Cost less than $40.00. I gave up on the Railblaza transducer arm ($61.00) which was far more trouble than it's worth. Corrosion was a chronic problem with my old ff but the new one has much better connections & caps. Yet to try it out. If you do not have corrosion issues check your power supply all the way through. If you don't find any problems, you can try having it tested. Hope your problem is not a major one. Thanks for sharing.
A few drops of water had made its way through the back of the HDS connector and corroded through some electronics. Sent it lowrance and they quoted me $903 for a new unit. I accepted the cost and when the new unit arrived the first thing I did was tighten the screws on all the back plugs. I now have a spare 3 in 1 transducer.
hey mate, nice vid. what rig do you use?
20lb double paternoster
hey buddy do you have a link where i can buy them straps that tie to your rods ;)
I get them from Temu. Just replace the metal crimp and use 2 cable ties to secure it, then an optional step is to put heat shrink over it. They are strong I’ve accidentally towed my net in the water for about 5mins and the cord will spring back to its original shape. share.temu.com/nKE4jT36AIA
Do you eat those fish?
At the end of the video which no one probably saw, I sashimi the fish, so yes I eat this fish.
thats ballyhoo 😂
But down under we call it garfish 😂
Swear you have to take me out sometimes for crab and hairtail!
One day mate but crabbing season is almost over! Hairtail is around the corner but not sure how productive it’ll be during the day in winter.
I was wondering how you were catching crabs on the hand line,Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome
Hey buddy why not just use a crab trap
In some systems crab traps aren’t allowed so they can only be line caught
@@bradleyseeto what system is this
@@enterthedragon5979 I need your promise not to tell anyone first! 😂 it’s ok no one reads the comments anyway, our secret will be safe for many years. Brisbane Water shhh 🤫
I reckon it might be better to use a circle hook to prevent it from getting snagged.
Circle hooks still have barbs on them
Great video Bradley love it ❤
Thanks
When are you opening your new restaurant?????😋👌🏼🍻
Lol probably never
How are Maori Wrasse for eating?
I think they are great, it's not a dry flesh when cooked but will require a bit of seasoning to bring out the flavour.
Taste like.... Wait for it.... Chicken. 🙌🏼💥
Haha Legen......Dary!
It’s an underrated fish, as is Tailor. Both great smoked too.
Agreed! It’s great to see more anglers now utilising these species
Is thay Michale Wong on the other side? Looks like his kayak. XD
I think it might be James, hard to tell. Either way don’t tell Michael cause when this UA-cam channel finally monetises in 10 years time I might have to pay him for appearance fees. 😂
@@bradleyseeto Bahahaha No worries. Just take me with you next time you go for a hair tail. XD
Thanks Bradley great effort 👌🏼.
You're welcome
Wow nice catch :)
