Circle hooks for sure! I never used to do much bait fishing but now I always have a livey out when drift flicking the tidal creeks. 2 Barra caught and 1 large Fingermark all hooked right in the corner of the jaw. Like what you said in the video, the fish hang themselves.
Thanks for the kind words. I just create a loop from a paternoster rig. Otherwise a blood knot. We have more info on knots on our blog. www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/tag/fishing-knots/
Mate i can't decide between kahle or octopus circle hooks. I keep hearing mixed opinions on which is better. I hear the octopus circle has a much better hook up rate than the kahle hooks. Have you got any experience or intel about octopus circle hooks?
Hi Fish Hunter, it could be that they are swimming towards you on occasions. And by the time you come tight, the hook has gone down the throat rather than hooking the corner of the mouth. I typically live bait with mono and leave braid for all my luring purposes.
The reel makes little difference mate. Whatever you are comfortable with. Plenty of reel suggestions for different situations on the blog www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/blog

I find the best success with circles with a straight eye is to snell them, with the line always coming in from the point side..

Hi There....wats the best bait for catching barramundi other than a live bait
Hi Mohd,
They readily take lures, jigs and soft plastics. We have some tips on what kind of lures over on our blog at www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/blog/

What hooks do you use for land based live baiting when there is no rod holders
Fishing in Cairns Ryan always uses circle hooks for Barramundi fishing.
Ryan Moody Fishing might have to pick some up because the guy at tackle world recommended me to but 5\0 suicide hooks
Ryan Moody Fishing what is your favourite fishing reel for land based lure fishing

Ryan Moody Fishing do you have a charter and if so where is it
Can you tell how many lbs would you use for your leader line? Live bait vs death bait? Can you tell how you use rig them?
vsonic86 60 to 70lb leader and live bait. Quite a bit of info on our blog. www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/blog
Can this 60-70 leader stand against barracuda or Indian salmon in case they bite? Will using bigger leader decrease the chance for fish to bite?
vsonic86 if your fishing for fish with big teeth you’ll probably have to use wire. We are talking about Barramundi that don’t have teeth.
More of this stuff Ryan …

Ryan why are barra such a pain in the ass to hook on live bait then...I've have a very very low hook up rate... I'm not striking fish either
Hey Guru, I lost lots of Barra with this banana hook, fish always escape just when rod went off, please advise for drag setup
Amris Alk we don’t strike at them. We just let them hook themselves with the drag in gear at one third breaking strain of the line.
Ryan Moody Fishing , Thanks for your fantastic reply. will get little scale to check the drag
Bristol Channel has the second biggest tides in the world
Excellent!
Thanks
Thanks for the advice!
