Peter, are you rigging all these lures with singles yourself? What size hooks are they? Great vid mate. First kayak test voyage tomorrow.
@PTPFishing
@PTPFishing 2 сағат бұрын
Thanks. I do rig the inline singles myself. Sizes vary a bit between lures. With the Mustad Kaju inline’s I use size 6 at the front and a size 8 at the back on my 5cm lipless crankbaits. The TT Tailspinner is a size 4. It has been trial and error really. I hope the maiden voyage goes well.

Hey mate, do you ever use trailers on your spinnerbaits and when do you know/decide to do so? Cheers
@PTPFishing
@PTPFishing 2 сағат бұрын
I always use a trailer or stinger hook. If you mean a plastic, I will use one if I wish to bulk up or increase the profile of my spinnerbait. With cod, that is generally during the warmest months or in heavily fished waters. The extra vibration/movement can make the difference. Can also produce better quality fish. Run without when I don’t feel the additional size plus vibration is needed.

been saving this one for xmas day 😉 what a session! well done for finding a gap in the rain and for getting out on the water before the dams closed - so worth it, that golden perch was a stunner! and to get a handful of 40s and a toga is the icing on the cake 👍 merry christmas mate, looking forward to the south australia content and i'll catch you in the new year 😉

Thanks Jake, I was very lucky, I snuck a fish in just before the last deluge. Haven’t had a session like that in a while. Not big numbers, but quality fish. I think I have found an alternative option to the V-Blade when I run out of them. See you in the New Year.

Hi Michael, I haven’t. It has been closed to paddle craft since I returned from a trip down south. Some fish will go, but not that many. It is the time of the year that they push up the system, not down, so hopefully they will just push further up the reservoir.

@PTPFishing 16 күн бұрын
Ian it is well worth persisting. It has not been an easy year to find the fish and even when you do, loose one and they seem to disappear. I have done a couple of videos with tips for Enoggera, they are well worth watching. Outside of that. 5cm lipless crank baits and fishing close to the lily pads are the keys and after that it is just persistence. Time on the water will help you crack the code.
@PTPFishing
@PTPFishing 16 күн бұрын
Have never had much joy with plastics there. If I was going to fish one, it would be a 3 or 3.5 inch paddle tail soft plastic on a 1/6th or 1/4oz jig head. Again rolled along the lily pads edges.

I personally use divers in enoggera, they get the job done, I usually come out the end of the day with at least 3-4 bass, I use stumpjumpers and the samaki ds60, but really anything that dives around ~4 metres usually works.

I don't think a overnight soak is absolutely a must, most people leave them overnight because your not allowed on the water after sundown or before sunrise. Ive been to dams where ive been checking them every 4 hours or so through the night. Always had a bigger haul checking them through the night compared to a leave alone soak overnight...pot placement is a major factor...the amount of people who redclaw the dams is hectic lol. Ive been at the wall where the Brisbane river starts when they opened up the flood gates. The water below the wall had dropped by lunchtime the next day. All i could see was old Opera house traps in different stages of decomposition lol. Broken fishing rods alot of vintage lures and handcrafted and painted ones lol...the traps littered the ground as far as you could see down River
@PTPFishing
@PTPFishing 19 күн бұрын
Interesting, I don’t get to go and do this as often as I would like. I would definitely love to check them more often, but as you say restrictions are in place. Lost and abandoned pots is certainly an issue. I did a volunteer day with fisheries and we removed over 200 pots in 3 hours. All just abandoned or ropes on trees. Will be interesting to see what the new regulations will be when opera house style pots are banned.
