FINESSE FISHING | Northern Australia's Freshwater.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- In this session we're right up the top of a little creek in far north Queensland fishing for jungle perch and sooty grunter using finesse spin tackle. Rigged with light braid and leaders we fish and small crankbait and lightly weighted beetlespin with a small soft plastic. It's is a super stealthy style of fishing with the crystal clear water and how skinny the creek is it makes it easy for the fish to see you and if you get in the water, feel you coming. With slow movements and a decent trek we cross paths with some pretty gorgeous fish in stunning country.
Can't wait to get up there one day mate looks pristine
It’s a special place mate. Definitely worth a look one day.
Its like they're spring loaded when you let em go.
Yeah just tensed muscle ready to burst.
Gotta love the good old soot fest
So good up in that water, the fish are just a bonus.

Great video. Been watching your videos on jps and sooty. Am up north from you. Beginner here, Wanting to know what poundage is your line as I have only 20 pound mono. Are you using lighter line.... and have you a leader on that? Keep safe
Yeah mate 10lb braid and 8-10lb leader.
Thank you.... your the best...
Wow keren
Bloody nice up north mate.
can someone answer a question for me please. why do people run line 80Lb on reals that only have 40Lb of drag is it only for abrasion resistance?
Yeah more pulling power on a straight rod and better knot connections and worst case abrasion resistance.
I suppose you can thumb an overhead reel and put your hand on the spool on a spin reel for extra drag. Might make it easier tying on heavier leader though. I've noticed some braid is almost like micro thin data cable 🤣 and some is very fabric like the original braid. I have an overhead reel that's rated for 25lb of drag but I use 50lb braid. The rod is rated for 50lb. I use about 80% drag and thumb the rest if needed. I suppose it's a lot physically lighter reel to be using for hour on end..
I've also sportsfished using 10lb line on a reel capable of easily 16lb of drag, that way increased line capacity allows for big runs when fishing in open water. Chasing long tail tuna and GTs. Just using a heavy leader....
What lures do you use?
Heaps mate. Depends on the day.
What lure were u using?
The shallow crank?
where abouts is this mate?
Back of Ingham mate.
Song at the start ?
Just something out of the UA-cam library mate. Not a bad pick though aye.
Do u have any spots to recommend
Every creek you cross from Townsville to Cairn’s mate 😉
What creek is that
Feeds into the Herbert river outside of Ingham mate.
Dont run Into a croc
Yeah I’m pretty confident we’re good up this stretch of water.
what camera do you use
GoPro Hero 7’s mate.
what rod and reel you using?
nice vid
It’s a Lew’s CI200 on a Savage 7’3” 1-3kg rod.
Thanks for showing folk the gimpie weed , for those who don't know , if you see ANYTHING that looks like this, carefully make your way out of the stuff
Dude I’ve been nailed by it and seen others get smashed by it. The effects can last for months and can be triggered by hot and cold. It’s a crazy plant and one every should be able identify and avoid.
@@LiamFitzpatrick yeah brother 100% I haven't ever been done by it and only.learnt about it later in life , mate it's everywhere down here too , we prospect and find some untouched spots but choose to enjoy and sit there instead , usually it's all there amongst the ferns near or nearly in water edge
@@LiamFitzpatrick btw amazing videos mate !
Absolutely enjoy watching them so relaxing, and your whistle song is damn Catchy hahahah
Yeah I believe there is a northern species and a southern species not to be confused with plain old stinging nettle.
@@LiamFitzpatrick yeah I was thinking the same thing
What lure?
Ecogear CK40 mate.
Yo we should go Jp fishin some time at..........
At where?
Do u have a sister named Lucy Fitzpatrick
Na dude.
???????
What?
Do u have a job
Yeah dude. Full time father and husband. Part time fishing tackle salesman and full time dedicated UA-camr.
@@LiamFitzpatrick cool man I didn't mean for that to sound rude, living the dream
Yeah know mate. I’ve worked a lot of years doing shit jobs to be finally doing something I enjoy even though it’s a full on full time job that’s not really a proper job but is getting there.
