HI Spud, thank you for return on the 1/4oz s/lock, i thought a 1/4 would have been a bit light in that current mate, do you have a ROD you prefer down there, as far as snapper , jew go, OK Champ, PS i see the # 10 ball ,you are using with your live bait to hold bottom ,or hit bottom and a meter. OK Cheers Chris
Yeah thats about as far as i use to get into the port on a yak. Although i saw a couple of yaks towards the end of fishermen island. They were so close to the pylons port security couldn’t see them😂
A great session. I really enjoyed the video. I’ve only ever fished over near the wharf so will have to be more adventurous. What weight line were you using?
I was using 20lb+ braid and 30lb leader. The week or so before i was experimenting using 8lb line/12lb leader and got busted off twice. I should have known better as i was recently dusted in the rocks on 20lb leader. The snapper there know how to find a sharp rock.
It found the bottom had 3/8 ounce of leas total. I think each time i slapped the line it hopped off the bottom and got pushed down in the current a little further
I think its a technique worth experimenting with. I’m going to try and throw different things into the vids to keep it interesting, and that way it also forces me to try new things rather than just throwing around ol’reliables.
I was cast netting near the bridge at fishermans island today and a metre plus flathead broke the surface and took off it was insane. Got busted off using livies but got some big muddies in the pots

That drift technique made a bit of sense with that current raging just let the prawns flutter down good vid bro
Cheers bro. I also didn’t film the castnetting so not to upset the nsw viewers
Can you do a vid of what fish look like on your sounder? Just starting out and finding it hard to know what the heck I am looking at lol
@@gregeberhardt1711 what sort of sounder do you have? I have some footage to put up soon.
Plenty of snaps being caught out there lately..I went Friday and got couple at 45cm on tide change but current is too crazy in the yak haha

Hey mate
Thanks for the vid 🤜🏼🤛🏼
What flavour scent do you use please?
I was using procure shrimp but i find snapper also really like plain S factor as well.

HEY Spud, love your style mate try what you feel , mate what is a Silver belly?????
Cheers Chris.
*silver biddy. I often get them as bycatch in the cast net. They look like a small bream but have a mouth like a whiting.
@@potatoesGDITB OK Mate thank's i was looking for a ( new) SECRET BAIT, thank God not another one.
PS. WHAT SIZE J/HEAD WERE YOU USING MATE ??
1/4 oz snakelock+ 1/8 worm hook
I definitely like that approach. Was your bait finding bottom in the feed or lifting in the current.
It found the bottom had 3/8 ounce of leas total. I think each time i slapped the line it hopped off the bottom and got pushed down in the current a little further
@@potatoesGDITB Thanks mate got to give it a try.
What a great session and loved the technique 👍

Good fishn man

I’ve upped my live bait leaders from 30 to 50lb. What did you get busted by? There’s always a few bullies around too.
