Love this channel. Fishing is somehting i just do active the last 5 years, i am 35 years old now. I was on a holiday in Australia and my friend who i was traveling with wanted to fish. I sayed, ok, lets do it, not care a bunch, because it seems boring. So, we where in this fihsingboat with 1 dude from U.S.A., 2 from The Netherlands and 2 from Thailand. We had the best day ever together, so much fun. 7 people, all from other sites of the world, but it was like we knew eachother a 100 year after that trip. We are still friends now and as soon this corona shit is gone, we all go to Thailand and go fishing there, because for them its all a bit to exspensive to fly to Europe or the States. Really looking forward to that. Fishing for me changed my life, its awesome. This video just shows how much fun you can have. i just found this channel, i sub!
Your fishing styles remind me a lot of old school fishing, like these trolling rigs and the way you beach fish is the way they fished 50 years ago and worked so well 😄 absolutely love seeing them in action
Over the years picked up heaps of Head Starts from bargain bins but maybe not the last 8-10years or more. I like them a lot. Few tricks I do are cut the gal hook off with side cutters and put a split ring to SL12 Gamakatsu or BKK Kajiki. The surface rig I cut the wings off with a saw then I can slide an octopus skirt over the top or similar for a skipping rig.
Hi Sammy! Was just wondering what are those heads called in your rig for mackerels? How many grams are they? Been trying to find them but can’t seem to find one
Great vid as always Sammy, trolling for Macks is so addictive with the drag suddenly screaming. I have a few of those weird trolling rigs at home, I'm going to test them out after this video! 😂
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Not yet mate! The last time I went out I floated Pillies and live yakkas and got a bit of action. Definitely need this rain to clear up ASAP! Can't wait to see what your big troll baits come up with 😂🤙🎣
G’day Sammy, love the channel, quick question about the poddy mullet’s I’ve been getting a few on the cast net as well just not sure of the difference between sea mullet and sand mullet and what’s legal in Queensland.The fisheries isn’t really clear on what’s the difference either any help would be greatly appreciated regards Mick.
The fish knew all too well its ultimate fate would be when it heard Sammy said he wanted to have a little chat with it @ 11:50, so it made a sudden dash for a dive. 🤣🤣
Nice catch Sammy, can you please show us how you clean the Spanish Mackie next video. Only recently found your channel,love your videos, thanks for sharing
Awesome vid budd weather looked mint👌 Do u go out midweek mate as always wonder y ur solo as just concerned for u safety wise if something bad goes down? Stay safe budd🤙
Hey mate, I go whenever the weather is good! I wear a life jacket an PLB whenever I’m solo. So shouldn’t be too much drama if i end up in the drink. Always cautious out there 👌🍻🍻
Well, I'm dropping my new channel on you mate! :) More to come this coming year! You inspire me and I wish you, your dad and yes Shawn-o the best! CHEERS
Its great fun, but here in croatia it can only be a very expensive hobby, cant live from it. Pelagic fish such as bluefin tuna goes here for 6 euros a kilo. Its criminal how cheap it is. Bassically, two 50 kilos tuna isnt even enough to cover the expense. People who troll here usually live from state help and stimulus, going offshore only in seasons. But thousands of people troll for all kind of breams and snappers wich are 35 euros a kilo haha. Tho, its nowhere near fun as pelagic trolling, as you troll between 1 and 2 knots.
Love that sound it never gets old!!!!!!!

G’day Sammy, love the channel, quick question about the poddy mullet’s I’ve been getting a few on the cast net as well just not sure of the difference between sea mullet and sand mullet and what’s legal in Queensland.The fisheries isn’t really clear on what’s the difference either any help would be greatly appreciated regards Mick.

Haha yeah he was definitely on to me! 🤷♂️🤷♂️
hello could you give me the name of the plastic head you put on the fish or where you sell it thank you , i'm your fan
They look like rigs from "the downrigger shop"
I am yet to try them but if you reckon they work I will have to give them a go
I’ve had some good success with them mate, I’m sure there are plenty of other rigs that would work just as well though 👍👍
Great video mate
What speed do you travel for dead bait trolling Sammy?
All depends on the bait. Usually as fast as the baits will allow mate 👍🍻🍻
Nice catch Sammy, can you please show us how you clean the Spanish Mackie next video.
Only recently found your channel,love your videos, thanks for sharing
Have a squiz through his channel. A couple of vids with him filleting his catch.
Cheers Brian, I’ll make sure I include that on the next video 🍻🍻
I think Downrigger shop has them Sammy.
what leader do you use when trolling for mackerel.
Good job mate
Damn that looks like fun!
Anything that results in a Spanish is always going to be fun 👌👌
Wish we had these at Yeppoon
Definitely going to have to try this.

Nice mate, you can't complain about boating 2 good size mackies like you did, well done, I think a how to gaff video is overdue with Shauno ha ha
🤣🤣🤣 cheers mate!
Need to munch, so the fish bite!
What's a reasonable speed to troll these baits and other lures for mackerel? Cheers
if its a hard body lure around 4 knots is its a skirted lured around 6 knots
@@mikeperth6670 Awesome, thank you
Ordered some head starts on line can't wait to try out
Great work as always! I noticed the cap you are wearing big hook up is out of stock. Can you tell me when they will be in stock?

Why so troll that fast?
It’s my b day today on the 28
Nice mate! Happy birthday 🍻🍻
Its great fun, but here in croatia it can only be a very expensive hobby, cant live from it. Pelagic fish such as bluefin tuna goes here for 6 euros a kilo. Its criminal how cheap it is. Bassically, two 50 kilos tuna isnt even enough to cover the expense. People who troll here usually live from state help and stimulus, going offshore only in seasons. But thousands of people troll for all kind of breams and snappers wich are 35 euros a kilo haha. Tho, its nowhere near fun as pelagic trolling, as you troll between 1 and 2 knots.
Haha yeah I agree, tuna are definitely more fun to catch! 🍻🍻
@@SammyHitzkeFishing
do you troll for 10 knots anytime ?
There are plastic lures that can tolerate it, like nomads and yozuris deep divers
Where where you fishing
SEQ mate 👍
