“Breaded than tailor fresh!!!” Listen 8:14 Love your content mate watch every week. Last run up fraser we weren’t far behind you. Never know may catch up for a fish one day legend!
You hear people say certain fish are no good to eat, but like you said, spike em, bleed em and keep em cold and it's a totally different kettle of fish. Talking about spiking, you'll be posting me one of those spikers real soon, that looks a much better way than my rusty knife. Gonna get some of those lures as well, you can never have enough, great stuff mate
We have been toying with the dart on lures project for a fair while now. Great to see you crack the code. Funny, but I'm almost sad that our tradition of digging the pippies and pulling the beach worms to crank a few dart may have come to an end. I guess a gutter full of whiting might bring that all back.... or spawn another project 😉
Plenty good times catching dart off the beach on Fraser..in the old days we used to jump out and grab pippies in the tyre tracks of passing 4wd. Not my favourite, a bit chalky, but always great eaten the same day and washed down with half a carton of xxxx
caught 3 dart last time in Qld like you I had fun, didn't bother to fillet them, cooked in al foil with herbs etc on hot plate, nice kept the juice in fish and very tender and tasty
Learnt beach fishing while chasing Dart as a kid on the beach at Wooli - trusty Alvey 600A, 10' rod, pipis popping up at your feet. We'd chuck them up the beach behind us so Mum and my little sister could dispatch and gut them and we could get the next cast out as quick as possible.
Hey mate, wouldn’t be a beach trip with out a feed of dart, take me back to childhood. never crossed my mind to get them on plastic let alone a jig. Way to mix it up. Awesome mate
Sammy, I grew up.camping at Coolum Beach every school holidays. My mum would say go and catch us enough fish for dinner. Dart was the target species because they are great eating and plentiful in the 70's
I went fishing at Coolum beach just in January this year. Caught tons of dart but all only about 20-25 cm. Idk if it’s overfished but it was still good fun
Hey Sammy, looks like good fun off the beach. Probably a few flathead in that gutter too. Question re knife sharpening - yours always look very, very sharp. How do you sharpen yours - stone or some kind of gizmo?
Hey mate! Yeah more than likely a flatty in there somewhere! I have an electric knife sharper by a company called Nirey. I use that once or twice a year to reprofile the edge. Generally I just use a sharpening steel and give it a quick hit before I start 👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Thanks mate. Those Nirey sharpeners aren't cheap, I see, but cheap electric ones can ruin knives so it's obviously worth it for a good one. Thanks for sharing your routine.
TOP VID sammy, I gave this a crack Today, nth nsw beaches, bait balls all through the beach, and dart at my feet, put on a 15g twisty and had lots of fun, but harder to hold on to with no assist, but i will next time, just I'm very interested in the knife, I'm guessing a Victorinox boning knife, and the model your using? CHEERS AND THANKS
I’m jealous of how sharp your knives are 😍. Please share your secrets. Pretty interesting way to target dart, would never of thought to chase them that way.
Hi Sammy, might I suggest that next time you stay at Fraser you stay at Pipis at Poyungan I've stayed there 4 years in a row now and it is a great place to stay and there's a couple of cracking holes right out the front.
@@terrytailor I live in Melbourne and we are in lockdown so I’ll have to wait until the shops open up again and check it out. They don’t seem to have any available online at my local
@@Deanosfishing They are only new so they may take a while to get onto the website, or maybe they are just in QLD and NSW, although I recon salmon would love them.
Great vid mate!! I chase Dart and other small Trevally species here in Thailand too on little micro jigs like that too....and yes...white/silver always seems to be the best colour...
Dug around the tackle in the garage and found a $5 special from a BCF. Mezashi casting jig 60g.Still in the box. A bit of overkill for the old Dart. Might have to take her for a spin. No punn intended. 🤭
Didn't know you could eat them Sammy. But in Vic we don't see them anyway (that I know of). Like the Tailor, spike bleed them cook same day and they are great.
Hey m8, great video, I just watched the latest video from 4WD 24-7 which you were in. You guys were at Frazer as well, you showed them how to do it! 😁 incredible how you were hooked up so quick. Cheers
Hey Sammy those Dart must have been nice for breaky? I fish the western side of Fraser and we catch good greenbacks in August. Wondering if you could do a segment on Javelin fish please? Cheers Chris.
We all love you Sam..your intelligence..but....you really don't need to be rabbiting on and on..your production has moments all different..the beautiful surf sounds..the sun glinting on the water...yes you are full of technical stuff but try to let each moment...each event..speak for itself..what about diction..what about your breathing..your intuition as a mature well balanced fisherman.. what about spaces..to take it in and enjoy..remember..we got four senses..ifya engage them all we lose the main message..you dig..think like Kubrick or Tarantino..or Ridley..don't get me wrong...we love the effort you put in for us..and your skill and learning..you bin at it for a LOOOONG time brother ..than you ..jj..PS .I reject more and more busy busy as I get older..I once was a "human doing"..NOW?!??.I am a human being...balance is everything Sammy..love to mum n dad fro a Greenbank Brissy boy..jj rhythm..spacing mon.. that's why we tune into arogers' fishing..he let's us experience what he does without going in and in..the dart .like you..they never give up .TOO MUCH INFO.MLOVE YOUR WORK..PLEASE CONSIDER..BUSHMANJAKE/PRODUCER .THE RUDE ONE..JAKE..
never keep dart sammy! always thought they were just a catch and release sportfish, have gotten some around the 50cm mark at tweed. looking forward to trying one when covid settles down and i can get back to the beach👍 looking forward to some tailor vids hopefully!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing near fingal and have fished pretty much the majority of the kingy to pottsville stretch. I've only ever caught 2 around that size and thats over the last few years so good luck!
Those Dart look a lot like pompano or palometta on the East U.S. coast. Delicious eating and strong fighters. Pompano are one of the the highest price per pound fish here.
Love your content Sammy, learnt so much from your videos, well done! quick question though, is there any reason you dont use more mainstream fishing brands? shimano and Diawa reels/rods? cheers!
Hey mate, I use Shimano reels in most of my videos mate and have rod from just about every brand. I like to pick the best tool for the job 👍 I’ve only recently got onto the ATC reels and found them to be really good for the price of them too 👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing cheers for the reply. Yeah that makes sense mate. Would you recommend the ATC reels over some of the larger brands? I'm looking for a new light set up. Thinking a 1000 size reel. I've got a couple of Stradics, just seeing what other reels are out there
Hey mate, I checked the time stamp and didnt hear anything about gutters. If you want to find out about gutter check out the tailor tactics tutorial vid I did. Cheers
I know this has nothing to do with this vid but, I need to know what the cushion pad around edge of your boat is and where to get it from ... you do tell us in one of your vids a while ago but I cant find it #savemyknees
Wow a specialised Dart session! Never seen one before, love catching them myself and agree with you, very good on the chew and just a lot of fun overall! A lot of our unrated Aussie fish are actually when prepared well great at table. There is one fish off the beach that I’m not sure about in that regard. Would you ever go one of those Australian Salmon? Are they worth bothering with or best left well alone with regards to the table? One thing however I’m sure we can all agree on, they are one hell of a sport fish especially if you don’t go too heavy. Stay well Sammy! Hope The Phantom’s good too.
Mate, bled promptly after catching, Aussie Sambos are a great eating fish in my opinion. Bit chewier than your other common table fish, but if bled properly, they're good tucker. My favourite method is to clean up on any blood lines on the fillets and pop em in some foil with some butter, garlic parsley, or any other combo of flavour and pop them in the oven.
Aus Salmon are the best example of this, they are excellent eating in many ways of cooking, but just because they don't suit a beer batter when not prepared or taken care of some often lazy people in Aus say they are horrible. Reality is if you prepare them right and use them for what they are suited they are just as good if not better than many other fish. Everyone I know believe it or not much prefers Salmon over Tailor, because we know not to leave them in a bucket all day and expect them to be amazing drenched in canola oil and thick batter... The key is simple really, bleed and brain spike on capture, KEEP THEM COLD, fillet skin and cut that red muscle running skin side out (this muscle under the skin is where the strong taste comes from), portion and either Panko breakcrumbs pan olive oil and the usual herbs and spices and lemon, or put in a curry/pasta any dish you'd use with tuna, or slice thin and do your favourite ceviche recipe, or smoke with the usual glaze of brown sugar basil and whatever else you prefer (possibly the best way of all). Make sure to cook them within 2 days (another fault people make, Salmon due to being very high in natural fats dont last as long as other fish in the fridge), and they are as good as many other fish. Give one a go I reckon, of course better is out there, but as someone who is pretty damn picky with seafood and eats the likes of coral trout etc every week, Aus salmon are still one of my favourite species to catch and occasionally cook up for lunch 🤙🏽
Thank you Coza H.B. for yr long, involved reply. Both you and Sammy say they’re great eating and that finally settles it for me. I had a fillet of Salmon which I caught down near Batemans Bay pan fried with veges and thought wow this is really good what’s all this hearsay about Salmon not tasting good? It had been caught that morning and I had bled it. I get back to Sydney and my fishing mate goes on about That vile Salmon and I’m like no that’s not my experience I’m not buying into that, but you just start to doubt your convictions but it’s resolved now and our great Aussie fish now officially tastes good.
I’ve never actually eaten an Aussie salmon to be honest mate. We don’t get them up here so I’ve never had the chance. Very keen to give it a go though! I’ll keep you posted if I get one 🍻🍻
G’day Legends! Phantom Tools and Dehookers are back in stock and available from www.sammyhitzkefishing.com 🙌🙌🙌
last year i caught a giant dart and it is now my PB dart and land based fish
When are the phantom tools back in stock again?
Playing up like a second hand mower ---- Got to love Aussies
🤣🤣 yeah apparently we speak funny according to the rest of the world!
Great video mate, would love to see more of this style of fishing.
Excellent watch again 👍🏴.. cheers!
Cheers Ali! Hope your well 🍻🍻

Hahah probably had too many beers 😂
Yeah mate I’m always floating around 👌👌
we used to carry a wire grill and cook dart fresh on the beach, so good
Ohhh that sounds amazing! Over a fire as well?
@@SammyHitzkeFishing yeah straight out of the surf just peel the skin off and eat around the guts
Great video. I like the gear talk at the end, back at home 👍 good idea

Talking about spiking, you'll be posting me one of those spikers real soon, that looks a much better way than my rusty knife. Gonna get some of those lures as well, you can never have enough, great stuff mate
Yeah totally agree Mate. Most bad experiences come through mishandling rather then poor taste.
Haha no drama’s I still have a few there 👌👌
That looks very similar to what we call pompano in Florida. Pompano are some of the best fish to eat. Their flesh is practically pure white
We have been toying with the dart on lures project for a fair while now. Great to see you crack the code.
Funny, but I'm almost sad that our tradition of digging the pippies and pulling the beach worms to crank a few dart may have come to an end.
I guess a gutter full of whiting might bring that all back.... or spawn another project 😉
G'day Phantom. cheers.
Hahah I have a plan for those whiting as well 😉😉🤫🤫

Keep strike 💪🏽🎣🔥
Best thing about lockdown Sammy fishing vids f yeah
Hope you enjoyed it mate! Fingers crossed lock down is over soon for you guys! 🍻🍻
Days like thes is why i love fising so much
You and me both 🙌🙌
It doesn’t get better than beach fishing at dawn😎
Dawn and dusk on the beach, unbeatable combo 😍
was fishing once when i was a grommet with mum, threw some yappies in a small gutter, cleaned up about 10 dart in 15min. got me into fishing forever
Fun fishing / simple and effective lure and twitch
caught 3 dart last time in Qld like you I had fun, didn't bother to fillet them, cooked in al foil with herbs etc on hot plate, nice kept the juice in fish and very tender and tasty

Love Dart! Nice one Sammy was there only a few weeks ago! 🍻
Oh nice mate! Did you guys get a few fish? 🍻
@@SammyHitzkeFishing plenty of tailor around Cathedrals, I didn’t get as many dart this year but got some nice whiting on the west side too 🍻
niice video, great job. does that method work all year around? whats the best time? early in the morning?
Best thing about your channel is that you show us how to spike & bleed em properly.
You gotta show the whole process 👌👌
Do you retrieve as you jigging up and letting it drop? cause I would imagine the water is pretty shallow?

Great catches. Do you reckon you catch more fish / bigger fish on lure or bait? And what bait would you use? Thanks in advance.

I get back to Sydney and my fishing mate goes on about That vile Salmon and I’m like no that’s not my experience I’m not buying into that, but you just start to doubt your convictions but it’s resolved now and our great Aussie fish now officially tastes good.
I’ve never actually eaten an Aussie salmon to be honest mate. We don’t get them up here so I’ve never had the chance. Very keen to give it a go though! I’ll keep you posted if I get one 🍻🍻
Maaaaaaan :D
English subtitles? :D
Amazing fishing there
Hahah I was speaking English! 🤣
95 was the last time the wife and I caught dart at the top tip of Fraser,far and few people up there then,not now.
Yeah a bit busier up there now unfortunately. Still a lovely spot though!
