Australian Wild Bass Fishing | ANGRY FARMER ENCOUNTER!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Nathan and I take the small kayaks up a river to target one of Australia's best native fresh water fish in the Australian Bass. The Hunter Valley has had some recent rain which is brought some of the rivers up and flowing nicely with good numbers of bass travelling further up the systems. I start off the morning using a Jackall chubby shallow driver in the black and gold colour, one of the most reliable lures for this type of fishing. Nathan starts with a jig spinner with not so much success so decides to change to a driver later throughout the day for better results. We run into a farmer who was not happy with us being in the water but i'll let you guys be the judge of that one. Unfortunately my power bank that keeps my Gopro batteries running died early on in the day so I was unable to continue filming. The day went on and we caught a lot more fish but the size got smaller, 63 bass and 1 mullet the final tally was! I hope you guys enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments.
I think we should ALL go for a fish on HIS river one day. See what he has to say then.
Organise a day and all go through “HIS” river haha love it!
Love the footage glad I, m not the only one, tight lines and stay safe.
This is so sick dude! Looks like so much fun and primo spots. Super underrated Channel.
Appreciate it, means a lot!
god vid mate.bet that farmer didnt whinge to fishos when people had their hand in their pocket for drought relief. keep up the good work.
Great Vid, your definitely in the right with the river access
Cheers Michael! Yes, as long as I didn’t go through his Property which I didn’t he has no right to tell me to leave
Shame you had to encounter him mate! Keep at it legend!
Great vid, well done keeping your cool.
Cheers! Sometimes you have to in those situations as it may turn ugly
SEE now you let him win,anyone else going down there will get the same treatment,if you know you are right you should not have been such a coward. sorry just baffles me that you wouldnt tell that guy the law!!!
Bloke just found your channel.
Great footage.
Cheers 👍🏽
arrr the sound of cicadas = bass fishing in the fresh waters. I miss it cheers
this is a great video, so much fun
Nice video brother! Cool session! That farmer tho what an idiot 🤣 seriously thinks he owns the water. 🤙
Sheesh mate, the poor bloke was probably worried that you might help harvest his crop :-)
Nice action packed video.nice save of the rods when you capsized.lots of great fish.shame about Old MacDonald the fkn wally
mate i would have just said to that farmer call the cops and take me to court if you want - how unaustralian of him to try and move you on.
Great doing downstream drifts in hard to get to places, great thinking to access prime waters. Nice looking bass water. I would have done the same here to access cod waters down my way and told the farmer to stick it, if they have words like that. Well done on keeping your composure.
Been there done that, Rolled the canoe on charity creek, was a long swim to get everything back🤣
Nice clip mate..
loved the rapid roll best part 🤣 you did good. confrontations are never easy gets the adrenaline going i had a rower run into the pa at speers point few months ago and boy did i go off at him haha. still waiting on a how to target jew vid mate.
Literally my best part of the video too 😂 yeah I had in my head what I was gonna say it just didn’t come out, always seem to get caught up in the moment. A Jewie video will be out soon just have to find a less obvious spot 😉
Them jackal chubby's slay the creek bass!
Good work out there.
Cheers mate!
Oh and nice vid mate, some great bass there
Cheers mate
Nice vid mate just getting into bass fishing I usually fish salt water and I’m wanting to get more tips great vid keep it up
That farmer was clueless as to the law. I can't help but emphasise my right to be in the river fishing in those situations but there is no harm in avoiding unnecessary confrontation either.
BS ya C
@@afghantomburns3834 Obviously you are unclear on New South Wales access laws. No one this video was breaking any laws and the farmer had no right to tell these anglers to leave. This river is public property.
Great video mate
Cheers legend!
awesome video mate!
Awesome video mate good stuff 👍🏽
Cheers Julian!
Awesome vid mateThat looks sketchy as hell haha, looked fun though glad you got a few 👍🏽
Cheers Dallas!
Rad vid dude ! handled that pretty well i would have had a heap more to say :D
Great video. You can download the rules from the NSW Dept. Of primary industries. I have seen Electric fences put across some creeks just to stop kayaking. They need to be shown. Seeing you on the rapids and getting flipped brought back trauma for me. I recently lost a lot of gear, very expensive too in my kayak on a rapid. Leash things down is my tip.
I have seen Electric fences put across some creeks just to stop kayaking fairdinkum . that could potentially kill or injure someone . thats got to be illegal ? , and what the f harm do kayakers do ?
You should report that farmer to the Fisheries, so no other people get threatened by him.
Yes I will be I think, he has to know the rules.
Great video buddy. That farmer's a worry though. I think he is in-correct. River bank lines do move but nevertheless it a natural water course. Wollombi Brook (if that's where you are fishing, downstream from Broke) has some stretches of river showing on Google maps that it is going through private property, but that's Google, not the Australian law. Like one of the comments indicated, you should report him to authorities so he can be educated before something bad happens. All the best.
Cheers mate, I am considering reporting him so it hopefully doesn’t happen to someone else and possibly us again.
sounds very similar to an encounter my daughter and I had with a goose near Clarence Town. maybe the same goose?!
For those who wonder exactly what the law states... FISHERIES MANAGEMENT ACT 1994 - SECT 38
sect. 38 Right to fish in certain inland waters
(1) A person may take fish from waters in a river or creek that are not subject to tidal influence despite the fact that the bed of those waters is not Crown land if, for the purpose of taking those fish, the person is in a boat on those waters or is on the bed of the river or creek.
(2) The right conferred by this section is subject to the other provisions of this Act.
(3) In this section, “bed” of a river or creek includes any part of the bed of the river or creek which is alternatively covered and left bare with an increase or decrease in the supply of water (other than during floods).
BANK BASED FISHING
While section 38 offers anglers the right of access for the purpose of fishing, argument often arises with the physical definition of the bed of river. Section 38 of the act clearly states that the bed is that any section which is covered and left bare with the increase of flows other than at times of flood. The definition of where this point actually in on a river is often subject to scrutiny. Clearly it is the intent of the legislation to allow access for fishing in some manner other than at times of flood. The Department considers the bed of the river to be that area which is below but within river channel flood level generally this is at the top of each bank and does not extend to areas when the river shifts beyond this point i.e. at times of flood. This area includes most areas of beach or gravel bars or areas considered as a waterway under the Crown Lands Act 1989.
Does this legislation cover fishing next to private jetties and marinas?
The access to these creeks across private property the damage to stock proof fences accessing these WATER WAYS allowing livestock to stray on to Roads,stick your Laws,they don't help when they're has been a fatal accident.
@@darrylmackie9184 ? you cant cross someones property to access the river. You can only enter the river from public land. You can however travel and fish the river .
Yeah, in my experience Farm Folk don't have the faintest idea about the law, but they will preach to you like they do. They are secluded and live in their own world. They have no idea.
Like drones over farms. As long as you are high enough its totally legal. Try telling a farmer that.
How good was that cast at 13:08!?! Just found your videos today. I'm in the Hunter Valley area and you've revealed some nice spots in your videos. Keep up the great work! Got a subscriber.
Thought I was gone for a second with that fish! Cheers, appreciate the support!
Maybe he’s the King of Australia because everyone knows any waterway in Australia is the property of the Crown (the Govt). Great vid mate, those rolls had me cringe up tho, just the thought of losing lures and rods like that is heartstopping lol
Hey are those the yak hunter leggings? So much better than coming back from a day on the yak with roasted legs👍
Cheers mate! Yes they are yak Hunter leggings and have saved me from soo many trips with not getting burnt. Highly recommend!
Was he a farmer or a " blocky"? There's usually a big difference between farmers and alternative life stylers in their attitude towards kayakers. There is north of Bundaberg where I had my farm.
Paul at BCF Rutherford told me about you today when I bought my first rod. Earned yourself another sub mate, so good to see someone fishing where I live 🙏🏽
Great stuff mate! I hope the videos help
How goods Paul hey, set me up with my bass finesse fishing rig too!!
Funny guy that angry farmer. You handled that well mate. Also get yourself a net. Much better for the bass and you won't loss the cat
farmers mind is fired he's thinking of all the things he can do with his sister when he tells her that "he chased out vicious trespassers"
you should carry a copy of the law just to show to drongos like ol mate in the gumboots lol...
Yep I think I’m going to carry a physical copy for now haha
Mate, cool vid, if that happens again, just say “leave me alone please”…don’t even engage in the conversation at all, not matter what he says after that, just keep saying “leave me alone”…he doesn’t own the river.
Your allowed a 'chain length' from the high tide mark on any natural water course as it is crown land, no one owns the river or the bank
So technically if that guy was clearing some trees as u could hear a chainsaw before he entered the video then his clearing on crown land and most probably has no permits to do so, most accusers are usually ones that have been caught in the act of something they know is wrong
I woulda had some choice words for that farmer, I would not have held back
Problem is he would know where you accessed the river and thats where your car would be.....
is that a one way float or do you paddle back out?
We did the one stretch so we could cover more ground
Old mate farmer has spent to much time alone drinking by the sounds of it
Hey mate where abouts are you in the hunter valley. I live in the upper Hunter Valley
Hey mate I’m in Maitland
Hey mate, what lure were you using? I am interested in getting one
Hi Chris I was using a Jackall Chubby shallow in gold and black
I have been confronted by various old people in this situation for fishing, spearfishing, taking my time at wharfs, parking etc. If you know you are doing the right thing by the law nothing to worry about. These people are sad, alcoholic and lonely... they are like this because they are neurotic people and no one wants anything to do with them. Best bet when this happens is to film them and not aggravate them, some may have a weapon.
Where is this in the Hunter valley
What lure are you using mate
Jackall chubby in black and gold mate 👌🏽
What rod reel setup are you using in this vid?
It’s the Daiwa Generation Black drunken monkey 1-2kg 6 foot 10 with a daiwa generation black 2000 reel. They are the older models but they do newer ones now
@@wellplayedfishing7809 nice, how pricey are they? Diawa are quality but some of there stuff has a big price tag 😂
Wouldn't really wanna spend more than 200 on a setup not even including 40 bucks for braid
Do clarencetown
Sounds good!
