@@aussfish9995 hey Dave just a question not related to this vid. This morning I dropped 2 decent flatty and when I met you last week you said that flatty have really hard mouths and I agree so my question is am I not setting the hook properly by not hitting it hard enough or maybe my drag is to loose? I know flatty are absolute geniuses at throwing hooks but more often when they get to the surface, both the flatty I dropped this morning I dropped, or they dropped me lol, well before coming to the surface.
The hooks on the jig heads we use are incredibly sharp and it takes very little pressure for them to penetrate, so it’s probably not how you are striking them. You don’t need a lot of drag pressure I notice your using 8lb leader so to much drag and if the lure is deep that will rub you off so you have that right. Gka
Hot tackle usually has them you can get them online through motackle always remember Samaki vibes are great as well you can get them in most tackle stores
Nothing like an inside hump on a cockle bed. Glad to see you're alive after the double triple reverse with a twist. I caught a 70cm near the bags at Stocko in the break. If you're contemplating a night session on the beach I would like to join you. I like fishing at night but get scared. If you reply and let me know that would be great. Thanks Dave
Hey mate I don’t mean to sound rude or arrogant I hate it when this question comes up. I just fish with a small group of guys that’s how I like it. Kind regards Dave
@@aussfish9995 A-HA you get asked a lot. No worries Dave. I laughed when i read it because a mate of mine keeps asking me, "when are you going to take me fishing or to play golf ?" and I always say "I'm not."
Sorry to hear you've been sick Dave. Looks like you're on the road to recovery. Just take it easy! The recovery process may require a few more fishing sessions mate! Purely for medicinal purposes only!
I was worried you were going to stop making videos! I fished the cockles today for only a 50cm flattie. Only use Trams now. I had a feeling they might be spinning when sinking so I will have to take care on keeping tension. Lowsy has a good video on using them and finding the cockles though its a pretty well known area. I caught a 53cm snapper there about 2 weeks ago. I wonder if that's the same if you caught.
Yeah it’s well know fishes well in winter. Different ways to fish the transam I like to mix it up. There a great soft vibe, Tailor are a pain they twist and rip the rest treble on a very expensive lure 😩
@@aussfish9995 buy them from BCF but get them to price match Freddy's. Comes to $28 per lure. But the eyes have fallen off mine so jackall posted me new eyes. Stick em on with JB Weld lol.
Great vid again mate🤙nice red too, do you often pick up reds on vibes?
Yeah you do they love a vibe
