Can you do a vid of what fish look like on your sounder? Just starting out and finding it hard to know what the heck I am looking at lol

Looks like fun! Do u know if there around all year? How did u find the side view on the Garmin Striker? Cheers

@potatoesGDITB 2 ай бұрын

@@mavenfpv7843 they seem to be not to far from bait schools, so sometimes they are there and some times they are not. I have caught them between the gateway bridge all the way into the city but oddly enough ive never caught one around the port. I also have noticed they haven’t been around as much in the river since the 2022 floods. The striker is a great little unit for the money. The sideview isn’t anywhere near as crisp as the Echomap ultra 105sv i have on the boat, but for a kayak its pretty good. You still get good images for structure and fish do show up.

Hey been watching your videos, nice work. Do u fish that pylon often ? I go past if often and think “probs worth a fish” but I never fish it……

@potatoesGDITB 4 ай бұрын

I’ve probs caught about 8 jew there of varying sizes and a couple snapper in the 60s over the past 24 months. It fishes better with minimal run as the current can rip through there. Baitfish like herring schools also show up on the sounder. If they aren’t around it get pretty quiet. I think the combination of eddies, a good dropoff into the channel, is a good mix. When i caught the jewie in the video, there was also a bit of boat traffic around.

HI Spud, thank you for return on the 1/4oz s/lock, i thought a 1/4 would have been a bit light in that current mate, do you have a ROD you prefer down there, as far as snapper , jew go, OK Champ, PS i see the # 10 ball ,you are using with your live bait to hold bottom ,or hit bottom and a meter.

I was using 20lb+ braid and 30lb leader. The week or so before i was experimenting using 8lb line/12lb leader and got busted off twice. I should have known better as i was recently dusted in the rocks on 20lb leader. The snapper there know how to find a sharp rock.

Nice work mate! What size sinkers would you recommend for fishing the port? Been chasing thready for a while with no luck. Awesome tips too, you know your stuff.

@potatoesGDITB 9 ай бұрын

Hey mate, i use just enough to keep my baits lol down 1m off the bottom. In low current or turn of the tide, i use a ball sinker about the size of a 5c coin. When it picks up, a 10c coin and so on. If i need any bigger than that, it might be too much current and i look for locations where there are eddies around structure (markers, docked ships, jetties, etc.) that slow/break up the current a bit.

Absolute wankers jet skiers. Its my Son and I always in our little boat when in Brissy River and they just do not give a fuck about anyone else on the water. Ive been around boats all my life and from a very young age, were taught water safety. Its a very dangerous place on boats in water and I was always told to think about the other man before any action I do on a boat and that includes other boaties. 6 knots around moored or anchored boats is for a reason. People get fucking hurt. Its not just jet skiers either. There are plenty of dickheads on boats too although it seems to be the majority of jett skiers, not just a few.

Terrific video mate. Whats that fish there? We have the same specie here on the other side of the world and use same setup for it. As for mullets, if you want them gather in one stop, throw some pieces of bread on the water. They usually flock to it and fight over it. Cheers

@potatoesGDITB Жыл бұрын

Its a jewfish, or the scientific name is Argyrosomus japonicus. Yeah mullet around here aren’t super keen on bread, and i get the impression they feed on silt off the bottom. Down south my mate catches a different mullet for bait on bread all the time though.
