Cheers mate, if I say bullies yeah I'm talking about bull sharks... Really appreciate you watching 👍

No drama at all mate, I have been busy this week and still need to catch up, what Andrew has told me, was pretty good session you had 👍 Ohh cool I have actually been to magnetic island before, do they still have all the little mokes driving around there? It's all just practise, one day you will be catching just as many, if not more... Keep at it mate 👍 If they are following the lure you are halfway there haha Tight lines mate 🎣

@@bushfishncook2128 yeah they still have the mopeds and little “topless” cars 😭😂 They are literally junk boxes… did you have a fish there? We took one of out city friends out and I caught him his first ever fish! It was a butter bream

@@TobysfishingNoutdoors yeah the little topless car is called a moke or mini moke... How cool they still use them to get around there 👍

@@TobysfishingNoutdoors unfortunately I didn't go fishing, I would love to get back there one day 👍 Very nice place

Cheers mate, I push the gear to its limits... I would rather snap the line, rather than get bricked on a pylon... The Flatty really caught me by surprise, a few more fish coming from this one, I stop back on the run in tide 👍 I enjoyed my time that much, I went back to this spot two days later, so there will be a third video from here eventually too.

Cheers legend, always appreciate the comments 👍 Looking forward to catching up on your latest video this afternoon.

Here is a great tip, if you find you are getting snagged when you cast out, there is a good chance your jig head is too heavy for that spot, I'm trying to remember to mention jig head sizes etc in most videos now, that way it helps you guys select the right fishing equipment etc I usually cast out, let it hit the bottom, the second it hits the bottom I slowly pick it up, if it's snagged... the first light lift of the rod, will usually allow you to not snag it heavily, flicking the line may get you out of trouble, if you lift fast and hard, the snag will be worse... In general though, if you get lots of snags, the jig head or sinker is too heavy for that location, over these 5 hours of fishing, I still lost 2 jig heads, that just happens around structure though, you can't always avoid the snags... Tight lines legend 🎣

You can only give the fish so much grief on 4lb... I had 8lb leader to avoid being snapped, when rubbed on the pylons etc, if I had 6lb I definitely would have lost at least one of those fish... I honestly can't believe I got that stingray in, twice I watched it try to bury itself in the sand, somehow pulling up managed to stop that happening, if they bury themselves, even on the heaviest gear, it can be impossible to get them out...

Cheers as always legend, hope you enjoyed it 👍

The live comments were going nuts hahaha It was definitely hard to concentrate on both, glad you enjoyed it mate 👍 Tight lines out there 🎣

Ha ha ha ha . Just realised how big the beard is in the clip . Getting up there with mine . 😂 Mines whiter though . 🤙😂🎣

@@davidshaul5265 yeah mate, the beard is cranking now 👍 Hahahaha I'm jealous of those white highlights 🤣🤣

Cheers mate, appreciate it. Always look out for your comment 👍

@@bushfishncook2128 is much appreciated, mate 🤙🏻

Cheers mate 🍻 Much appreciated and thanks again for all the calls, through this rough week...

I tried to respond, not sure you got my reply in the comment section... I have a new email [email protected] 👍

I tried again since this and still they didn't show... I'm going to give it another crack soon though hahaha I always fish there without a drama though, most of them know me now and just leave me alone, I swear...

@@bushfishncook2128 good info mate . 🤙

@@davidshaul5265 the security don't really care, they are just doing, what they get told to do... just speak nicely to them, that is always the best way 👍

@@bushfishncook2128 always have . However its only been twice , so will see wbat occurs next time mate . 👍✔

I reckon mate, amazing a bird hasn't picked it up... Cheers for watching as always, hope things are picking up for you, tight lines mate 🎣

Awesome news mate, they are great fighters that's for sure, pound for pound nothing pulls like a freshwater jewie 😂 Hopefully you make it out next week, tight lines mate 🎣

Cheers mate, I remove a good share each year, definitely need more people targeting and removing them though... 👍

They pull like a freight train hahaha Cheers mate 👍

Only in the same water you just pulled it from, don't worry I remove a hell of a lot of commons every year and if we have no rain for the next few months, the water I caught this fish in will have dried up... This water has only been here since 2021 due to all the rain and had a big top up, every so often until now, it's drying up pretty quickly...

@@bushfishncook2128 that can’t be right! So in the Murray river which is NSW I can release carp? That can’t be the law. Ya not even allowed to use them as live bait!

@RoryBoyd-dw1xl yeah I know mate, I'm not the biggest fan of the rule myself, I would like to see them being electro, fished and removed completely from our waterways. You can't live bait in freshwater at all in NSW either, regardless of the species used... Definitely the rules now though, you can check at the NSW fisheries website.

Here is the link www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/dpi/bfs/aquatic-biosecurity/aquatic-pests-and-diseases/freshwater-pests/freshwater-finfish/carp/more-information-for-specific-groups/for-recreational-fishers-or-community-groups#:~:text=Catch%2Dand%2Drelease%20fishing%20for%20carp,-Is%20it%20illegal&text=It%20is%20not%20currently%20illegal,of%20the%20Fisheries%20Management%20Act).

As mentioned it's a stupid rule and the same goes for redfin perch... Check out some of my older videos though, I've removed hundreds over the past few years, releasing them is not a common practice of mine, that's for sure...

Sure was mate, such a crazy battle and with all the snags about, It wasn't only skill but also, plenty of luck that he didn't swim into anything too bad... Cheers as always for the awesome comments mate, hope you had a great time out on the boat

@@bushfishncook2128 I got mine in the channel, so not many snags, the only worry was that it swam down the regulator, and then I would never of gotten her back, I would of had to swim with the rod through the regulator, luckily she didn’t go to the regulator. Thanks mate, we’re actually going out on the boat later this arvo, it’s bloody boiling here at the moment, it’s sooooo hot…. To hot for me 😂

@@TobysfishingNoutdoors it's starting to warm up down here too, I'm not th biggest fan of the heat either... Ahh true, well have a great time out on the boat later, any fishing? Or just sight seeing?

@@bushfishncook2128 definitely fishing mate! My uncle who lives up here is a mad fisherman as well! I don’t think i would get on a boat if it was just sight seeing 😂

@@TobysfishingNoutdoors awesome mate, best of luck out there, tight lines 🎣

Cheers mate, there were a few moments there, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to land it, it got scary when he was trying to get into the sticks...

The 500 is coming soon 👍 With a good 4lb braid, it shouldn't get spooled hopefully!!! should be able to get just enough line on... I always used to call them the freshwater jewie, the big ones run just as hard haha

@@bushfishncook2128 Swamp Trout are one of the hardest fighting fish, fresh or salt, IMHO.

@@bushfishncook2128 Fantastic, Mick 👍🏼. I can’t wait to see that in action mate… ye ha, lol

Cheers mate, appreciate it 👍

Cheers mate, some big ones pushing up the system now, they seem to follow the bass here 😂 They head down to the brackish water, it's crazy, you can see them at Wisemans ferry sometimes...

@@bushfishncook2128 Shroom got a cracker of a Jew a couple of hours ago on a live. They are on up the river.

That's how you land a big fish on 4lb line, sometimes they will hit a snag, but it's the risk you take, I guess...

That's awesome mate, I love hearing stories like this 👍 It's such an awesome feeling after years chasing that one fish, to finally hold it in your hands... Cheers for the comment mate 👍

Cheers mate, I'm glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the comment. Tight lines out there 🎣

@@bushfishncook2128 for sure mate

There were three carp hanging around and I thought, one of them was going to grab the bread first... So happy to have finally caught this fish, she is a beauty and definitely very healthy. It's amazing that this water is stormwater, in an industrial area...

Yewww

I probably remove more common carp, in my area than anyone I know... Not a fan of pest species in our waterways at all, so this was a tough call but since it's now legal to return carp, I thought this one deserves to live another day 👍 That waterway dries up completely if we don't have rain for a long period of time, it been full for 3-4 years because of flooding, it's quickly running out of water now... One day all the carp here will probably be gone anyway 👍 Don't be sorry mate, a boat trip sounds awesome, the video will still be there later, always appreciate the awesome comments

@@bushfishncook2128 is it legal to return carp now?… like Redfin? It’s your choice?

@@TobysfishingNoutdoors yeah mate, in NSW that's the law, same as the reddies. In VIC it's still no return for carp though, strange because they allow redfin to be returned... Both are bad pests in their own ways

@@bushfishncook2128 I think maybe because reddies don’t get as big and can’t eat as much 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@TobysfishingNoutdoors in my opinion reddies are worse than carp... They school up in huge numbers and are super aggressive, it's hard though... Reddies eat lots of fingerling aka juvenile fish, carp eat a lot of fish eggs.. Probably just as bad as each other actually

Great to hear from you mate, I was thinking about sending a pm, I was getting a bit worried about you... Cheers 👍

@bushfishncook2128 Thanks Mick, Im still kicking mate. Just been caught up fighting the good fight. Will be in touch soon. Hope you well

@@pitbullcustomlures1917 that's the way legend, stay strong 💪 All is well here mate 👍 Speak with you soon, take care mate

@@bushfishncook2128 👊👊

There is one other, in another location that has been my target, for the longest time... but I hooked it twice and it snapped me off both times, taking a huge run... Now it's way more smart and I'm not sure I will ever get that one, but it won't stop me trying haha Cheers mate 👍

@@bushfishncook2128 I really hope that you can trick him into taking your bait, Mick. Time! And patience will win the war my friend. I really hope to see you achieve your dreams and show us as well, mate.

It was a very special fish for sure, such a nice looking one, not to mention years trying to catch it... Haha well since I let it go, I guess I better come up with something...

Exactly that mate 👍 cheers as always for watching.

After years of stopping by trying to get this fish, it was a very exciting moment! Cheers mate 👍

Cheers mate, crazy part about this, is that's stormwater in Blacktown, it's slowly drying up now... This fish showed up there in the 2021 floods and has been on my list for a long time.

@@bushfishncook2128mate is good to see fish like this

Double episode week again Expect another, the same time tomorrow night 🎣👍

You will just have to wait and see I guess hahaha, pretty short video this one tonight...

@@bushfishncook2128 easy as mate see you then 👍

@@nathansoutbackfishing will do 👍

@@bushfishncook2128 👍👍

No worries at all, you could never run out of fishing content to watch on KZbin 👍 Glad I invited you down bro, I thought for a bit we were heading for a donut but doesn't that change quickly at times, you got some nice fish mate. I got my PB whiting lol (PB smallest whiting on lure) it may even be, the world record 🤣🤣

@@Jonahroundsfish KZbin removed my reply for some reason, but yes I do remember you and very sorry to hear what happened, in short. Congratulations on the carp on plastic too

Cheers mate, appreciate the comment 👍 I usually fish every afternoon, if i finish early enough, I also fish at least one day on the weekend, sometimes both haha Keeping that in mind, I usually only film once a week, sometimes two if I have a tough session. All videos are filmed in one day, unless otherwise specified, like the recent video, fishing 3 nights at the canal. Tight lines out there 🎣

Hahahaha he deserves to be free, cheers for watching 👍
