The weather hasn't been great, but decided to head over to the Eden Wharf and try my luck. The Mackeral are everywhere at the moment and for just a couple hours of fishing, it was a busy session. Enjoy!
Cold, windy, chance of rain and one of the BETTER days in the forecast? Ugh…
That little mackerel was like “Nooooooooooooo!” Those gulls sure swept in quick to get that dropped bait. That pelican wanted his too.
Those mackerel are hilarious the way they vibrate their way free lol
That hydrophobic lens must not work with the fish blood. Good catches and convo Larry - nice!👌👏
It usually is mild here on the coast for winter, but its been a cold month and looks to continue and I hate the cold LOL Damn birds and Pelicans, but at least they're a bit slower and yeah, the lens didn't like that blood drop, didn't notice until I got home. Thanks Joe!
Another fun fishing session Larry!! The mackerel keeping you busy. Stay warm out there. As great video 👍👍
Thanks Jun!
Looks like a good day and a bit of fun again, Larry. It’s getting chilly out there old mate, stay warm.
Looking at the average, its about 3-4 degrees below the norm, but its the wind from the south and west, just goes right through you when out there. Shorter sessions on the cards for a little while. Thanks as always for watching!
Love catching mackeral they fight good! That looked like a lot of fun.. those pelicans are crazy literally waiting for you to hook up haha
Would love to get a really good sized one, that would be fun. Those Pelicans were funny, fighting each other with no fish all morning LOL Thanks as always for watching and hope you had a great weekend!
I love waiting for your uploads, your videos are always great!, I’ve always wanted to fish at eden, some of me mates have said it is amazing!
Love your work Larry, tight lines 🤙🎣🤙🤙🎣🤙🎣
Thanks so much and yes, some great spots down here. Still learning with a few new ones, but its been great fun!
They are very energetic the old Mackerel
They have a bit of go in them for sure. Cheers!
cheers Larry , another fun time
Thanks, fun fish to catch, but a pain taking them off the hook LOL
Another busy day. The birds found you again.
I think they put a tracking device on me LOL
Holy Mackerel Larry it looked cold out there! Good work getting on some 👍
Its been about 10 degrees below normal for this time of year, but that damn wind makes it even worse. Thanks for watching!
@@LarrysFishing We found your extra 10 degrees here! lol
This looks way too fun mate 🎣👍
Making me want to pack up and head down for a few days, looks like nothing but rain here for the next 10 days....
One of the best baits you can the slimeys, I would definitely be throwing them straight back out live.
Good to see some fish making it back, without the pesky birds getting them.
All in all what a great session, plenty of fish biting and plenty of bait caught for next time 👍
There has to be kingfish there somewhere smashing them slimeys...
Ohh I almost forgot, I had to come back to say, you will have to let us know how the smoked slimeys go???
Hard time getting anything else with them everywhere, but fun to catch and saved some for bait. Looks like its going to get wet down here too, though the weather outlook keeps changing so who knows. I'm told there are Tuna out at the Naval Wharf right now, but its closed with a ship docked over there grrrrrrr LOL
Actually tried a baked recipe one of the guys down there gave me, had them for lunch, very tasty and surprised at how un-oily they were.
Have you smoked the mackerel yet? Nice fishing and good to meet some new people. Stay warm Larry!
Sean, one of the guys in the vid gave me a recipe, so we tried them baked, much better than I would have ever thought. Leigh is smoking a few this weekend, so I'll let you know how they go.
great sharing
@@FishingNOutdoorFun thanks
Mate, I operate on a policy of not throwing macks back when I can get a few. Frozen or salted they make excellent baits for times of the year they are not around. Crying watching you throwing back some perfectly great bait. Good fun to catch though :D
Had a session free baiting mack fillets the other night and got a few really solid Tailor and trevs.
Heard the same from the guys down there, I'll keep them next time. Actually tried them baked with a recipe one of the guys down there gave me, they were nice eating, I was very surprised.
@@LarrysFishing They were good blokes. Love that about this country. You get a rod in your hand and everyone's your friend.
👍
Appreciate it, take care!
Nice video!! Man those birds.......fish stealers! LoL I dont like them!!
Yep, just looking for a free meal, grrrrrrr. Thanks Cody!
LOL, I love them. They add to the game. And, to be fair, we are playing on their homeground. If they win a few games, that is only fair.
@@AndrewFishman lol
With the two old farts at the wharf, a great morning fishing with mates
Had a good time Sean, how did you guys go after I left?
Just a couple more slimmys than went home and had hot chocolate
@@srhendo Had one myself LOL Had a couple of those Mackeral baked, better than I thought, thanks for the tip!
@@srhendo Goodonya mate for your co-starring role. I would say starring role, but I think that goes to the Pelicans. Got to give the taxman his dues! Great to see so much friendly camaraderie and friendly interaction. I have met many really nice people through fishing and it is fantastic that our sport brings us together in some amazing places.
Hey Larry how do you set your rig up? Sinker, no sinker? Down around the area for a week salt water fishings new to us
@@matjames4743 2 options. Just a hook with bait, no sinker. I also use a pre-made rig with a weight on the bottom and 2 hooks above. Called a river rig or a high/low rig.
@@LarrysFishing awesome thanks Larry, will give it a go
@@matjames4743 The rule of thumb I always go by is as little weight as you need to get to where the fish are. The Paternoster rig described by Larry with a weight at the bottom and a couple of droppers is very efficient, effective and popular. Other rigs include just a running sinker on a mainline above a swivel/ring to an unweighted leader, a small running sinker to the hook and float rigs. These are all useful in their own situations. What type of fish you target will also affect the rig used.
Bream, whiting, flatties, snapper and luderick/drummer will be hanging out near bottom, so use the Paternoster or sinkered rigs to get down to this zone.
Tailor, salmon, trevally and macks etc will be free roaming and much less weight/freebaiting is the go for them. Get the bait down just a little in the water column and allow it to drift with the flow.
Wait for the line to tighten properly before striking. There is an amazing number of pickers and you have to allow them to pick before a bigger fish comes along. Don't just strike at every little pick though, you will never have a bait in the zone if you do. When you get a good hit, you will know. The line will tighten and run suddenly. However, there are many fish that just pick up and mouth the bait. If you get some good solid action on the line, but it is not running, lift the rod solidly, but controlled, to see if you can pin the fish. The idea is to put as much force as required to pin the fish without moving the bait too far. So you don't want to whip the strike like you see many people doing. Just lift the rod along its length and if weight is felt add a bit more force as you lift the tip into the strike. It can often work well to slow roll the bait a couple of winds every few minutes or if you have a non-commiter. Just slowly moving the bait along with the rod tip can also get an interested fish to commit.
Best thing to do is find a fishy area with clear water allowing a good view, get some polaroid sunnies and watch how fish approach and react to baits. So much learned from doing this.
Have a great time and I hope you catch a whale to introduce you to the salties!
