Waitpinga beach. Fishing a strong rip.

- Finaly got out to do some fishing, it was great to get out. There was a good surf rolling in and not much to show like nice deep gutters and channels, but where i ended up near the creek looked promIsing, as it turned out the tide was ripping as i predicted so had to fish accordingly. Hope you all enjoy the video and like i always say if you are new to fishing hope you pick up a tip or two.
It has been quite a spell since we last saw David. The biggest sighs on the beach were not from the sea running onto the sand, they were David's. His obvious joy to be out fishing again was apparent. Difficult fishing conditions still provided 2 very fat Salmon. Clearly, David was happy with his catch. It is hoped that we will see more of David's footprints in the sand & more of his excellent videos. My latest catch was a bream - 4" and just equal to the soft plastic lure I was using. But it was a fish!
Wow Himderfella you hit the nail on the head, you have a talent with words thats for sure, cool. I will be doing more videos but it will be a bit up and down. The response I have received with my videos and this one especially is Awesome. Yep it was a fish your bream even at 4" better than a donut.
oh mate i was so happy to see another video of yours, i thought you were gone, good job and great video
Hi IKE. Glad you enjoy the videos and thank you for the comment.
I am very happy to see you after a long time.good job men
Thank you for the nice comment Saadat. It was nice to catch a few fish and a good feed too.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 you are most well come.last time i went to the parsons beach.but unfortunately I didn't catch anything.haha some time I was very bad luck.
Awesome mate ,thanks for sharing your fishing day with us we are learning a lot thanks to you ....
Thank you Pascal. I myself find it very rewarding showing some things what I know. I don't know everything but I know enough to help people start catching a few fish. thanks again mate.
Big fan of your channel. I wish you could do more videos!
Thank you for saying, thats awesome. It is nearly time to get back out there, I'm under orders to get some fish in the freezer not really knowing what lies ahead so I have a plan for another video and also have one in stock I haven't finished yet so hopefully not far away. Thank you again for saying. David.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 anytime David. Your channel is a rarity. Stay well mate.
Good stuff, always good to watch, thanks for that.
Thanks! MrSolounou . Nice of you to say mate.
Gday David, your videos are better than any fishing show on tv, i want to see how to catch them and the setup not some guy thats paid to go on a fishing charter and simply showing them winding a fish in ,boring, ive watched all the videos and they are great mate, a real fisherman you are,cheers.
Thank you so much Shane, comments like this mean a lot to me mate. Happy to help and my pleasure......Merry Christmas......Cheers David
good to see you back out fishing and nice to no l not only one blacking a finger nail when hammering.lol
looking forward to getting over after xmas to fish and camp David and see you
Gday Garry thanks mate yes it was good to be out fishing. Not good hitting the finger LoL. Hope you have a good camp and fishing when you are over hear, you never know you might see me out but that time of the year is very busy for me. Cheers David
ok david.you still selling bait l hope
l have not surf fished for 20yrs. what size line (brad and surf rod ) you use.l only fished inland
Hi Garry, my surf rod is 10ft long fast tapered 4120 blank, its can cast a 3oz sinker and bait easily. My line is 20lb braid you can use heavier if you like it will still cast nicely, my hooks are size 1\0 and my trace line is 35lb line. you can use a leader of 35lb nylon line from your trace swivel back to your fishing reel if you like, its a bit easier on your finger when you cast. copy my fishing and I think you will catch a fish. Cheers.
hi, was watching your old videos again over the last week or so, great to see a new one, thanks!
G'day. My pleasure mate. Thank you for watching, I will do my best for more videos.
Nice job Dave. Hope you are keeping well and catching a few old chum😊👍👍
G'day Steve, thanks mate. Ge its been a while, the Mitsubishi days have long gone by nice to hear from you. I hope you have been finding time to wet your line (poetry) hope you are keeping well too Steve.
Love all your videos, thanks David…very useful…
Happy to hear you enjoy my videos Charles and glad to help. Cheers David
Welcome back David, good to see you back out casting a line, top vidio, hope to see more in the future
Hi Peter, Thanks mate! yes there will be more but it will be up and down, when time permits. good to hear from you. Hope you have been getting onto a few fish. cheers David.
really great informative video David, good to see people taking only what they need. thanks
Thanks Rob, much appreciated mate. yes times are changing for the better thats for sure. I have been watching and hitting the like button for your videos they are very enjoyable.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 haha thanks david, although I don't catch anywhere near as many fish as you
Hello, I am a Japanese angler. I love fishing. Because it was a splendid fishing channel, I subscribe your channel.
Hello, fishing is wonderfull isn't it. So many people share something in common and enjoy it all the same. Cheers David
I wish I was fishing with you. I love your video's!! Keep them coming please. Hugs from Vermont USA.
Thank you Jade moon for your nice comment. There will be more video's slowly but surely. Hugs from South Australia.
Good to see you out David, getting into all the fish around at the moment. Fire up the smoker 🎣👍👌
Its has been a very good year Adam lots of happy talking fishos around, best year for a while. Yes mate it was good to go fishing and catch a couple of fish I drove home with a smile on my face. Thanks Adam.
Very good video David
Thank you Brian.
Good on ya Dave. I was looking forward to seeing you catching a few again. The one thing i think we all like about your vids is theres no bulldung. All the best.
Hi Perry. Its been a little while, it was good to get out and wet my line again and also catch a few fish. Thank you for you comment. Cheers David.
Gday mate long time no see thought you might have given the you tubing away , at least down there you dont have dogs rummiging through your gear . Some good fish there get that smoker going yum yum . Porties has been a bit popular of late some large schools inside and outside the reef good video take care .
Hi crispernator good to hear from you, I'm still hear I have to admit doing the youtube does get hard with other stuff to do. so my channel will be a bit up and down, these salmon are destined for fish cakes one salmon near 2kg makes us 18-20 fish cakes yummy. Some of the next lot will have to be smoked. It has been a good salmon season my mate has had a ball at port jetty and they have been every where else great fun for the fisho community. thanks for watching and commenting mate. I had a dog cock its leg on my bucket at normanville and it hit my pasty in its bag so the dogs owner put my pasty in a dog poo bag thinking it was ok. Ha Ha some people
Great to see you back fishing David.
Thanks Martin.
Keep it rolling Dave we love your videos 👍🏽
Thanks for the comment Ehab thats cool. I will try to keep them coming slowly but surly mate.
Welcome back David some really awesome size fish getting around this year I hope I can catch some salmon soon
Thanks Troy. Its been a great year for salmon I was happy to get out and catch a couple. I was a bit trapped with work and stuff but starting to get back into the swing of things. Yes hope you too can get onto a few salmon sooner or later mate. Cheers David.

Great fishing video
Thank you my friend.
Hello David.
Like 215 from me and thank you for your support 🎣🤟🎣
Hi Lior, thank you for your support to mate.
Nice session! I didn't catch any at Southport a few weeks ago, maybe I will head down south next time...well done.
Hi Dave, I have done a lot of fishing at Southport before I moved down this way, some times I missed out but did catch a lot of fish down there my favourite time down there was night time especially midnight low tide till early morning a lot of the time it was dead calm and freezing cold. Waitpinga is a good beach, usually always good for a fish or two in reasonable conditions. Thank you for your comment and tight lines
Gee David you most certainly can fish. Would be great to see a video of how you read a surf beach to work out where to fish. I struggle working it out. Thanks for posting mate, your videos are really entertaining. Cheers
Good day mate, waiting for new baits recepies, 😁😁😁...
G'day zaini thanks for your comment, maybe I will have something for you in the future mate
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 ooh yay i like where you are going with this
You look nice and healthy. Good to see you fishing. I was on holiday and now catching up on your videos 🥰🥰
Thank you, it was good to go fishing. Hope you had a nice holiday
As usual, always a great video David.
Thanks Peter. good to hear from you mate.
awesome mate ,thanks for sharing.God bless.ox
Thank you Michael, and nice to hear from you again mate
Awesome catch mate! I was down there last week, caught 5 absolute monsters using lures, biggest one being 57cm!
Thanks Angus. I was very happy catching a few fish for a feed, it had been a while. Thats a nice catch you had ill bet you were a very happy fisho, nice size. have you ever made fish cakes out of the larger ones, if not give them a go they are yum. its been a excellent year for salmon, a nice treat for all of us.
Its always nice catching enough for a few meals! You bet I was, a very happy fishermen. Never tried fish cakes actually, generally I just bake them whole with seasonings. But that's a great idea will have to give it a go! Cheers
looked difficult surf conditions; not much really of a gutter, and cold as well! ; ) For a pro like you who knows howto read the beach and covered quite a lot of ground, and it's only 3 trouts and 2 salmons; tough day! For most amateurs, all they will catch may be just a bloody cold ; ) on this day. Great vid as usual Dave; Cheers, tight line.
Thank you Robert. It was tough I never planed for that, but Waitpinga is good for that when there are big wave's out the back, Its my local beach, and this fishing trip worked out well as a guide on how to try and fish a rip. Thanks again Robert. Cheers David
Hi Dave. Use to enjoy fishing at Waitpinga. Haven't been there for years. Got the itch back after watching this. Will have to catch up soon mate
Hi Tony, yes mate go catch a feed. Yes catch up after summer for sure.
love your vids David!
Thanks hapBarracudA. Good to hear from you again mate.
its been a really long time m8
great to see you out fishing again
Thanks Tristan. Good to hear from you too mate
Determination fishing Dave, love it!
G'day Craig, yes mate no fish in the freezer. I was on a mission and the current was ripping. Ended up with a feed and was happy.
great fishing dave .would love to fish that beach . i had a look on google earth and its 19 hours drive each way for me i think its a good reason to buy a camper van.i have been thinking of doing that for the last few years and i am not getting any younger so i should make mind up before its to late ....keep the videos coming . thanks . johno
Thank you johno waitpinga is a nice beach very popular with fishos especially chasing salmon and surfers chasing waves, often large waves far off shore starting to curl and break onto the big sand bars which run next to the gutters out to sea. If you have time yes buy that camper van and have a look I plan to do similar stuff hopefully when I get the chance better late than never. all the best, and yes more videos but will be up and down. cheers David
Hey dave long time no see, glad to see you back, you should set up a meet and greet fishing outing I'd love to wet a line with you some time.
Hi Steve thank you. It has been a little while, it was good to get out. Hmm I don't know about a greet and meet I do like meeting people but that would be nerve wrecking for a herminated maggot breeder like myself, I'm flattered that you would like to go fishing with me, maybe someday. You might see me down the beach some time. Cheers David.
Excellent video. It's becoming harder to catch large salmon off the beaches and/or rocks these days. Well done, great job !
Hi Phillip, sorry late reply mate. yes the big salmon are rare these days they show up sometimes and are a welcome surprise on our local beaches. thanks for your comment and watching.
Another awesome vid mate keep it up
Thank you matt. I will be having a look at your channel latter. All the best mate
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 thanks mate :)
Great job, Grandad! Glad to see you out fishing again 😊 xxx
Hi Ashlee. It was great to go fishing. There is nothing like the ocean fresh air and a fish on the end of your line. XX
Great video bro.
Keep it up
Thanks KAVzzz. Very much Appreciated mate
G’day David
Jamie here as I live up at Seaford as my usual spot to fish is Southport
Today ( Wednesday 2nd October 2019) caught a couple half a kilo salmon trout, but what’s better was no one else was fishing this afternoon
Anyhow your tips have been helpful as I’ve passed them onto my fiancé who is a beginner and she is catching them as we speak.
Hopefully I’ll make a trip down to Waitpinga soon as I’ve never been there yet as I’m originally from nsw
G'day Jamie great to hear you and your fiance are catching some yummy sized salmon trout and happy to hear I've helped a bit. Thanks for letting me know, I use to fish alot down there and did very well at night time. Hope you do well at Waitpinga, copy me and you will do all right. All the best guys.
nice man good work i use kangaroo meat soaked in tuna oil
They will be jumping onto your hooks with that. Thank you man.
Perfect time for fishing. Everything is out. Been catching 1.5kg + squid off The Bluff. Salmon is getting easier to bag out. Do you Shark fish David? I usually go off Granite Island with mates on weekends. Salmon is great bait. Great to see you back. Keep up the good videos.
G'day skudaaron. Ge you have brought back some memories my mates and I started fishing of the screw pile jetty in the late 1970ies I was 15. I still have most of my shark gear but only ever caught eagle rays, skates, smoothies, and lost a big seven gill. When I started to fish for mulloway I caught quite a lot of sharks as a by catch. I once watched a guy getting dragged on his arse with Penn 16\0 he hooked a massive smoothie on a whole carp and when they gaffed it, it went ballistic and bent the gaff and was gone. Yes its been a great winter fishing season. Thanks for your comment.
Great to see you back in action David! a couple of corkers there buddy.Do you mainly get Salmon from that beach you fish or do a few other species turn up,most enjoyable watching
Hi daveo. Thanks mate I'm hoping to do more when I can it does get hard with work and stuff. yes Waitpinga has some other species. I have caught small mulloway and seen big ones, Tommy ruff, mullet, one small tailor, bream, a friends mate caught a 2lb king George whiting also been told of a couple of snapper its a beach what can surprise you.
WOW, Welcome back. My Master. Next time go fishing please give me a message.Let s tight line together. The best.
Thats funny lun lian. love the wording. Lets tight lines together. Ha Ha. good on ya mate. One day
What size hooks were you using mate? I had a good session on salmon trout off Henley jetty recently, 20 odd in an hour . I couldn't believe how many had baby whiting inside when I gutted them
G'day mate I'm using 1\0 suicide in this video, when using just cockle I usually use a number 4 bait holder hook . Nice catch! it has been a good year for salmon large and small great to see the fishing improving as far as salmon are concerned.
Love watching your videos, teaches me and reinforces what I am doing correct too. So are northerly winds near sunrise or sunset and winter months best for catching the salmon at Waitpinga? What about from February to April - what would be good to target then from the beach if anything. It is a long drive for me so I want to get it right. Thanks, you are an awesome person to listen to. Always buy your bait. :)
Hi there, North wind is very comfortable fishing at Waitpinga but I fish that beach in all winds and do well the worst times to fish down there is when there is a very big swell because it creates a very strong rip sometimes unfishable, best times crack of dawn and late in the afternoon also night time is good winter time can produce fish through out the day so spend a while there. If you fish the way I do you will do ok. there has been some good fishing down there of and on during the summer my sun in laws went down 5 weeks ago first light and caught 3 nice salmon and a couple of smaller ones but as soon as the sun rose they were gone. This time of the year start fishing for mullet also mulloway and you will also catch salmon trout and possible salmon. Parsons beach is also very good for mullet my favourite.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 Thanks for that, so I am assuming a swell above 2.5m would make it rough and I will take that into consideration too.
@@lukeloop yep because you have a long drive for sure work on 2m and under until you get use to the beach, I look at Willy Weather for information it's fairly reliable, as you probably know the swell is bigger when the tides coming in, fishing the run out tide is as good as fishing the run in tide down there especially if your fishing a nice deep gutter.
I’ve Been fishing a bit just lately ( I live in Albany WA) last catch was a good number of King George Whiting. This video came up again on my UA-cam for viewing.. always enjoy your videos David.. I’m now semi retired and you wet my appetite to take up the occasional bit of fishing .. but .. haven’t seen any recent videos from you lately.
Question: your large fishing rod is that a Snyder Glas and is a 1 piece or 2 piece and what length .
Thanks 👍
I know life gets in the way but Hope to see a video from you soon 🎣👍
Look after yourself
Hi John nice to hear from you again mate, great to hear you have been out having a cast nice to get onto some king George whiting. the fishing rod is a 4120 Snyder glass 1 piece and ten and a half feet long I love the old Snyder glass I also have a pen prevail 10ft and that isn't a bad rod. Yes getting out has been tough I have been on a roll with problems as well as busy season with work, I lost my little dog to a medical issue that was sad she was 16 though, then my back went we have all been there and now my knee looks like I need a bit of a operation but it will be fine eventually and my shoulder isn't to good but it will get better think I'm getting old just turned 60 lol. But I have got lots on mind for videos so I will be back. You look after yourself to John Cheers David
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 I know what you mean about , backs , shoulders and knees .. I just turned 64 and old age feels like it’s starting to kick in 😀, sorry to hear about your dog , I had a border collie of 14 years pass away recently and that knocked me around as he was part of the family,
Thanks for the info on your Snyder rod.
Looking forward to an episode in the future 👍🎣
I would love to see you make a video on your magget farm. How do you breed them.
Hi riaz, I have been playing around with a maggot video but I can't really show too much on how I do it i just have to protect my business. stay tuned and lets see what happens I have had a few requests for it. I too love mullet for mulloway bait but this maggot breeding restricts a lot of my fishing not good. All the best my fishing friend.
Good to see you back and filming. What size brand etc rod are you using?
Hi Malcolm it was good to go fishing I nearly didn't take my camera but glad I did. My fishing rod is a Snyder glass 4120 10ft around 30 years old when I got home that night, I took it out of my car and the tip got caught in the tree when I was trying to get it out I fell over a bin and broke my rod BUGGER. Now I need a new 4120. Wilson Tackle do one so I will be looking into that. 4120 are terrific for this type of fishing or a blank very similar.

Thank you!!
Hi David
I'm a recent retiree and a very new fisho.
Although some of your videos are now 2+ years old, is it too late for a "newbie" to ask a question?
In "Waitpinga Salmon bait fishing Pts 1 and 2", how far were you casting your line off the beach and into the gutters?
(It was difficult to see from the video, and I'm keen to know, because in a week or two I'm heading down to Victor to "try my hand".)
At least 60 years ago my later father took me fishing to Waitpinga (usually in the May school holidays), and he always managed to bring home a feed.
I would love to be able to tell the kids/grandkids that I was able to replicate some of what he did.
Many thanks (in advance) for any pearls of wisdom you can provide.
Hi Frank, thats a nice story you have told me. Gee the fishing would have been good back then. it is still good at Waitpinga the only difference is that there aren't as many bigger fish as there were all them years ago, but it is still good for a feed. I generally get down on the beach mid afternoon and that time of the day unless it is a dodge tide the tide will be running out and generally you don't have to cast as far to reach the deeper water, the distance I am usually casting is around 30 meters you really only have to get your bait just at the back of the close in waves to avoid the churned up sandy water, and to make it that little bit easier head down when the wind is blowing from the north. Im happy to try and help any time and I would like to wish you all the best drifting back on fond memories and catching a feed of fish to tell the kids all about. Cheers David.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 Yes, my parents honeymooned at Victor in the early 1940s, so for the next 12 years or so it's where we always went for our May school holidays.
I'm determined to see if I can emulate my father (who was also called "Frank"), so next weekend I'll have to try to live up to his name/reputation.
We always stayed in a guesthouse in Breckan Ave for 2 weeks, and Dad fished at Waitpinga (or at the screwpile jetty if the weather was not good).
Many thanks for your prompt reply.
@@frankbrookes3930 That sounds nice Frank, I recon just being there will be Awesome walking in your fathers foot steps and thinking of fond memories. When I said I cast about 30 metres it could be 40 metres just try and get into the deeper water over the shore break, also can I suggest using cockles and pilchards like I do on my deep creek video.
Hey David, was this session during the morning or the evening? Thanks.
Hi loukas. This session was late afternoon. tight lines mate.
Hi David another great video . Do you ever fish for salmon with a lure?
No hope in hell on a day like this!
G'day Robin Thanks mate. yes I've done a bit of luring over time for salmon but they only come out of my bag when they are thick or a visible school its great fun catching them on a lure, a lot of times I found when the fish weren't thick or a visible school and I was only fishing with a lure I was running the risk of going home empty handed. So most times I bait fish but always have my lures just in case. and yes like Robert has said it would have been tough if I just had lures on this day. thanks for your comment Robin
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 that makes a lot of sense thanks for that
Would that be an old Snyder Glas rod ?? Nice vid btw.
Gday mate yes that was my old Snyder glass rod. I say was because when I got home that night I took my rod out of my car tripped over a bin, did my wrist and shoulder a bit of damage but I will heel, the worst thing was I broke my Snyder glass rod. BUGGER. good to hear from you mate.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 So sorry to hear that. Main thing is that you'll be okay, rods can be replaced.
Thanks mate.
Looks almost identical to an Alvey rod I have
nice video. how heavy is that sinker your using?
Hi Andy thanks mate. The sinker is a triple star sinker, about 3oz(home made)
Is it worth giving it a crack on a dodge tide?
G'day dat boi. Yes defiantly worth a crack on a dodge tide, early morning or late afternoon and into the dark.
🐟👌👍
Hey dave have what other species can you catch there and what are the chances of catching a big mulloway at night?
Hi mate, while fishing for salmon and mullet off waiting beach I have caught a few nice bream, Tommy ruff occasionally, lost one flathead, caught one small tailor there have been some big tailor caught off waits over the years you have to be lucky though, I have heard of a couple of snapper and a big king George whiting also mulloway quite a few caught by people over the years so well worth the time you never know, I have only caught small ones there but seen bigger and big.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 thanks mate i might have to buy a gopro and plan a random night time trip and see what i can do.
love the videos mate, what size rod/reel and line do you use?
G'day Will, Thanks mate.The rod is a 4120 Snyder glass 10ft, Wilson Tackle make them now, they are a very good rod for this style of fishing, fast taper with a good backbone and nice tip.The reel is a Daiwa soll LT 6000 with 300mtr 30lb braid I'm not using a leader in this video if I was it would be the same as my trace line which is 35lb Schneider klear line, hooks are 1\0 suicide.
makina çok güzel.ölta köstek arası kaç cm..
Great vids, do you ever fish Coorong
G'day Jimmy thanks man. I have done a bit of fishing in the Coorong not as much as I would like to have but have caught a few fish in there it is a beautiful place. Storm boy the original and the new are great movies. Twitchery barrage has been really good the last couple of years for mulloway but I personally think the size limit should be raised in the Coorong and the bag limit reduced. Cheers David
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 totally agree especially with the Coorong classic every year....
Plenty of family in Naracoorte and Kinston so was always back that way every long weekend, school holidays and xmas and now my parents have retired back to Kingston so back and forth again for me and plan on fishing Coorong and have family in Goolwa too so will fish the flats there too...
Anyway good chat, waiting for your next vid!👍
What is the combo your using
Hi mate, the fishing rod is the old 4120 Snyder glass 10 ft long and the reel is a Daiwa Soll LT 6000.
Use salmon as live bait to catch mulloway?
Very good bait I have caught a few mulloway on live salmon trout also the strips off the fillets are very good.
David where do you buy the spring pilchard holder
Gday Chris. I make these burley springs, take a look at my, How to make a fishing burley spring, I recon you will find it interesting. Cheers David.
Are you still fishing David?
Hi Brenton, I have been fishing a handful of times and enjoyed but haven't taken the camera work and stuff has been getting the better of me. But I do have plans of getting back into fishing and videoing eventually, there will have to be some life changes first though. Thank you for your thoughts Brenton. Cheers David.
Is that a Diawa Sol reel?
Hi again Marcel, thank you for your comments mate. This is a Daiwa TD Sol lt 6000D-H. Very light strong small reel 300mtr 30lb braid.
@@davidsheldonfishing9726 I normally use Alvey reels but have a Daiwa Catalina 4500H laying around and thought I might match it with a suitable beach rod. The Catalina is very heavy and might get a lighter reel but sizing of these types of reels isn’t something I’m familiar with, also not sure if it would be suitable for beach fishing. Also, I notice you’re using a Penn Prevail I gather that is to replace the broken Snyder Glas rod? Is the Penn worth a look?
@@marcelchaloupka I have never used Alvey but know they are good always used spinning reels and overheads. Things have really changed over the years with reels and the introduction of braid now they make reels so small with heaps of drag strength capable of catching big fish no problem, this Daiwa Sol LT 6000 can be used for big fish and has quite a heavy drag so, not really for line under 20lb. I am very impressed with the 10ft Penn Prevail matched with my Sol it is so light almost doesn't feel right but it is. I bet the 12ft Pen Prevail is nice. Also 6000 reels in other makes like Shimano are much bigger than this Daiwa 6000 sol Lt which has a large spool but a much smaller body. Your Catalina is a very very nice reel and would be nice with the pen Prevail, I think the sol Lt might be lighter and half the price.
