@@BaileyInglis-t3e usually throwing a 1/4 jig head, 3 inch plastics

This session we had an incoming tide, I’d much prefer an outgoing tide when fishing close to the island like we were

Do tell the long story mate 😂

Cheers mate 🍻

@@A.CFishingextreme cheers mate

Solid plastics man, that’s actually what I lost that big snapper on 2-3 videos ago.

Thanks mate

Cheers mate.

Thank you

Thanks very much mate, he was extremely proud.

Couple more and I’ll have a whole compilation of me losing my shit, had one recently literally get my line in his leccy while I was reeling in a fish, maybe spot locked about 20m ahead of my drift

Right now I’m thinking aluminium floors,subs put some rubber or foam between the ribs to stop any ratting, and then EVA on top

Good luck catching anything without the UL gear somedays, I did pretty well on this occasion, that same slug and leader knot landed me 20+ fish, if you do it right, it’s no problem. 100% have to use a FG for casting like this, Albright or Uni won’t cut it and will damage your guides or knot every cast. All in all, chasing tuna on 8lb line is dumb, no one should do it, but if you’re confident in your gear, and you don’t intend to release the fish, give it a go if the heavier gear isn’t working.

@@Jackomac yeah i know what your sayin man, ive seen alot of people using granny knots on light gear with big baits so many dont set drag too, my go to was double uni way back 15years mostly targeting lizards and it never failed then i went to Albright, i do fg but i hate tieing them 🤬 🙄😂

@@mezame1626 Albright is solid as if you need to get back in the water, I can tie one in about 30 seconds, FG on the other hand takes about 5 mins out on the boat, but 100 worth the extra effort.

@@Jackomac true, FG with recaso finish at home then Albright at the water its just super quick and easy, i van feel it through the guides but its not too bad through zircon guides can still get good distance my goto is a Daiwa tatula BC on an abu velocity awsome casting with 10 grams, i go between 8lb and 16lb FC 8-12 on sandy flats for lizards they chafe the line so bad depending on where they are pinned, i dont get out much anymore 🙄

Bitta fun, wouldn’t mind a half decent snapper though 😂

Cheers for the advice mate, I like the sound of velcro on the carpet, might use it, cheers.

@Jackomac I have my carpet attached by velcro on my plate alloy boat.The carpet can be removed and cleaned. Glued down carpet holds moisture.

@@davidlove7825 100%, awesome idea man cheers.

They get a hell of a lot shallower them that, just think of them as big bream.

Mainly just the price and the Garmin is just a better designed unit for salt water use, had so many issues with water getting into the hummingbird and ruining sessions. I saw the Garmin on run out sale and jumped on it a few months ago. So far I’m liking the Garmin maps and downscan, as well as the touch screen, the side scan isn’t quite as good, but I’m sure it’ll grow on me with time.

@@Jackomac yeah okay Iv been looking at changing from lowrance to humming bird , yeah there definitely pricey aye .

@joshparry2867 love the lowrance units for down scan and mapping, also really easy networking all your other devices and gauges, they lose me with the sidescan though, it’s easily the worst of the big 3 in my opinion.

@@Jackomac hi where did you buy the garmin on special? i have a budget of 2k i may have to settle for the 9 inch ehcomap

@@Jackomac yeah I agree

Boat traffic is a massive factor in shallow water, always do better on weekdays

They change constantly mate depending on what and where I’m fishing. I find the biggest thing people struggle with is getting their transducer in the right spot though, that is the single best thing you can do to get better imagining.

Echomap 125SV

Cheers mate

In shallow water it is, not going to find snapper in 2m anywhere near the boat. In this video I was running a humminbird Helix G4. But I’ve just made the switch to a Garmin echomap 125SV. Both have great sidescan.

@@Jackomac ​​⁠ the price of the Garmin! wow. i have a budget max $2500

@keithgodfrey-vf3ot that’s what I paid for mine, 2300 on special at BCF

@@Jackomacsorry for all the questions. which sounder are you referring to? your old one or the new one? cheers mate

@keithgodfrey-vf3ot new one the 125SV, they were on runout a while ago cause new models are coming

Cheers mate

1-3kg UL zodias, 2500 shimano miravel 8lb braid, 8lb leader.

Sucks when nothing goes wrong and the hook just pops out hey, give me a knot failure or getting bricked all day 😂

Yea that was pretty devastating, would’ve been a proper 70-80cm model judging off the fight and what Corey said, I’ll get him next time.

We know, it’s mentioned in the video

2400 Kevlacat mate

2 ounce early, the. Had to go to 3 ounce once the wind picked up

Straddie trip? I might be there next time

@@Jackomac that's the one, you should come. It's a great time.

@craigbrown1249 if I’m not busy I’ll be there mate

What do you spike them with?

Solid fish man, how deep were you?

Absolutely stuffed mate, we hit one rogue wave hard and it ruined my week, the pain killers got me through the session though

@@Jackomac Three cheers for pain relief hey.

@@33454262not ideal, glad I’m off it now.

Thanks mate

Couple different ones in this video man I have 1-3kg UL zodias/ 2500 shimano miravel 1-4kg Shimano T-curve / 2500 stradic FM 3-6kg shimano Tcurve/ 300 miravel Depends how heavy you want to fish, the zodias is really nice for all of the lighter stuff, throws 1/12th jig heads a mile if you want, and I’ve managed some pretty large snapper on it, even though I’m only running 6lb braid to 8lb leader.

appreciate the reply mate! love the videos also

@@keithgodfrey-vf3ot cheers mate

You’d hope so mate, it’s the only thing I’ve been doing for the last couple years 😂

What 50cm 😅😅

@@moleyfishing8688 75 and a 78, few 50s and 60s in the mix man.
