A perfect day out on the water. Well done.
Thanks 👍
I stopped fishing for about 5 years while chasing Sambar in the High Country but I fished these exact areas on my 2013 PA14 for many years. I live about 10 minutes away and just started fishing again. Let me know next time you are yak fishing in the area. I'm heading out to Avalon on Wednesday to smash the whiting on the stinger rigs I bought because of you
Good to hear your fishing again, and yes Campbells is a great local spot. Avalon is fishing very well so I'm sure you will do great.
Yum! I was just speaking to my mate about taking the yaks out in Port Phillip for squid, whiting, flatty, pinkie etc! Well done mate, super good video, keep it up!
Thanks !! Yeah, this is a great spot for a good feed. But most of PPB Bay in the shallows is so good this time of year for flathead, squid, whiting and pinkies
Yeah I’ve heard it’s going quite well. What areas would you suggest? Around Mornington/ Mt Martha I’ve heard is quite good
Honestly im catching them everywhere. This past week I fished here plus port melb, kirks point, st Leonards, and a few others and they all fished well. Just get on the drift, cover ground, look for bait, fish depth between 3 and 6 meters and use a second rod as a drifter and you should get plenty. Honestly wherever is the closest spot to you, im sure will be fine
@@fishingmad Thanks mate. I’ll most likely launch from Patto, my mate smashes the flatties and pinkies from there. Thanks, all the best
Yeah Patto is very good. Heaps of good fish around the entrance. The bream and EPs have been going well land based at evening by all reports even the odd mulloway
Great stuff mate that’s a very productive day on the water and a great feed mate cheers for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks !!
There is a certain point at Campbells where you avoid the sand bank. Not sure if it is still there but about half way along the boat houses there is a portable fish cleaning table set up at a slight point. I never had dramas there at any tide level
Yeah the sand banks aren't to bad there, where possible i just try not to go out or come in around peak low tide and usually the bar on low tide isn't to bad to get of the yak and walk across
Great video, that fog 🙃 a good bag of my favourites flathead and squid.
Well done Alan nice session there, good on you mate, keep up the nice job 😊 😃🤙🤙
Thank you Mario, I will
Mad session Allan
Thanks !!
Another great video Alan
Many thanks John!
thanks for the video
You're welcome
Awesome stuff Al. 2 of my favourite species. Squiding is just so much fun. Bloody hilarious.
Do you lose much footage from swearing? It just occurred to me that you might swear like a sailor lol. cheers.
Happy new year
Happy new year to you aswell. Enjoy the vid and happy fishing.
love your session. so foggy and you are mad at fishing mate
Thanks 👍 so much. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
Love the vids mate any more warmies videos ?
Thanks !! Yeah, I'm just finishing some land-based stuff that will go live over the next 2 to 3 weeks hopefully.
First love your videos
Thanks !! I appreciate it. Enjoy the vid
Been traveling to gippsland, murray river, great ocean road. Almost forgot there is a big bay of water right at the backyard. Tight line 2024 everyone!
I hear ya, I've travelled tens of thousands of kilometres this past year and some of the best fishing is 10 min from home
Another nice video. Just wondering if you are adding scent to the Keitech plastics?
Thanks, Nah the Keitechs are prawn scented. There not very durable but the look amazing and the swimming action is excellent
Awesome session Allan - what day was this?
Gday Allen, ever fished in cairns? Trinity inlet?, apparently there’s golden snapper, Barra, flattys, bream and trevally. The bait we will be using is squid. Is that a good all rounder, what rig will be the best for bait?
Love your work mate, tight lines bro 🤙🎣🤙🎣🎣🤙🎣🎣🎣🎣
What’s the best size soft plastic? 3” or 4”?
Nah I haven't fished there before, years back I stayed at Trinity Beach for a holiday and was spewing I didn't get to throw a line. I'd love to head back at some stage and fish the whole top end of Australia. Squid is a dynamite bait choice as nearly everything in our seas eats squid, also it doesn't fall off the hook easily so that's a great choice. With plastics just take a variety of sizes, 3 inch prob best starting point and if you start catching bigger fish move up to 4 and 5 inch
Do u chase fresh water fish like redfin ,trout,carp, yellowbelly and cod from that boat ?
Yes, 100% heaps of videos on the channel freshwater fishing.
Are you going to make a Stradic FM review?
Yeah, at some stage ill get some content out for them. There pretty good reels. They look great. The older models were also very good and one of better valued saltwater reels for inshore fishing.
Love the video Alan. Question, how do I euthanise squid once caught, so I can prep them for eating? Sorry mate, just very new to this. Cheers Ken
Hey mate is that a PA12 or 14?
PA14 Cheers
do you reuse your soft plastics? because i use quite a few and i go a packet quite quickly.
All depends on the brand and type. Some brands like zman can be used over and over again, whilst other brands brake easily or dry out.
thanks
I live in sydney has anyone got any good spots on land ? Would be much appreciated
CC?
Thanks Great video. I just fished this spot for the first time (it's a bit of a drive for me). I caught a few fish but unfortunately couldn't really bring in anything of size. Q When flathead fishing should you seek to go out only during low tide? or a tide change? or doesn't matter? My experience of flathead fishing in NSW estuaries has been that low tide is definitely better, but I just wasn't sure how it works here in Port Phillip Bay?
Thanks !! I dont worry to much about tides and times when it comes to flathead. Just need to cover ground and find them, and mark plenty of waypoints. Look for bait on your sounder, and run a extra rod as a drifter. I catch heaps more flathead drifting opposed to anchored up and usually fish between 3 and 6 meters for them.
@@fishingmad Ok thanks.
No probs
