[@rush.gang.fishing]

Another awesome video mate, the river seems very healthy! Great to see ✅🐟👍🏻

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate! surely a boat based swan river mulloway video at some point this summer from you?! haha

[@Perthfishin]

Yes! It always makes my day to see a new video because of how much care and effort it takes you to make these keep making more please ❤❤🎉

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate! thanks for noticing- yeah it takes absolutely ages to make these. Glad you enjoyed though!

[@jdenomy9340]

Was a pleasure to meet you that day mate - another great video !

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

wow haha I didn't realise it was you! thanks Joel- was a good chat!

[@fishwithchris03]

Good catch bro, persistence makes us catch fish, a bit difficult sometimes, but very fun and satisfying. Good vid bro.👍👍👍👍🦑🐠🦑🐠👌

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate!

[@nodrama490]

Great video , makes me want to get back into river fishing 🎣

[@dfjmadventures]

Good set of fish! Would love to see a flats series of videos - not having much luck myself since the kayak's being repaired!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate! what happened to it?

[@dfjmadventures]

@LightTackleAnglerWA Rudder was wearing too fast & screws needed replacing. Waiting on the parts. In the meantime, trying out flats fishing. Something I haven't really done before - went straight from beach/jetty to kayak 😅

[@DangasTackleTips]

awesome stuff mate, some nice tailor there!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks Danga, legend!

[@thehughesfamily-km2gv]

[@pa1264]

Great video nice catch of 🐟👍😎

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate!

[@AlwaysJiggingYT]

Sick video man!!! Always killing it with the catches!! Gotta get me some micro jigs, they look super fun 🤙🏻

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks man! i was actually using a shallow diving hardbody :) but i'm sure microjigs would catch fish too!

[@paddlefisher]

Nice one cobber.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks Andy!

[@Kronik24971]

Nice catches.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

Thanks!

[@BelyndaSmith-ue4rq]

Hi! We are enjoying the videos thank you 😊 where is this spot- South Perth?

[@kay-oby]

was the tailor caught near canning bridge? im new to fishing and don't really know many spots so just curious where the "flats" are

[@joshuabertolucci8938]

hey man, noticed you talked about chasing pelagics from ammo jetty before, what time of year/tides/moon/time of day are you chasing (of course warmer water so not at the moment) - and are you spinning/sliding/ballooning/ or freelining livies? been after info as trying to crack a mack or longie north metro for a while but very hard to find info, cheers (also setup/rig) would be amazing 🤙

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

hey man. To be honest i'm not sure I did aha. rewatched most of my videos because I was stumped as to when I mentioned it and I can't find it hah. that being said, if I was to go for a lb pelagic I'd follow the advice in the 2nd half of this vid /facebook.com/perthfishingtv/videos/north-mole-bonito-in-the-80s/242159647222710/ he's talking about bonito but regardless that's what i'd do. Late summer to Autumn is always the best for that kind of stuff. spinning for land based pelagics in perth metro would be seriously backbreaking stuff in my opinion.

[@JoshLangdon-uk5ks]

Hey nice fish! What lures were you using?

[@bomberbloke]

Unreal vid - I used to dig bloodworms on those flats for bream, never even considered hitting them up for a flats fish! What was the wind doing on that first day when you said the baitfish were pushing up, a light SW?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate! yeah it can be productive at certain times. It would have been mostly a southerly from memory (was a strange wind direction for the impending heatwave at the time) , but anything from SSE to a Westerly would put bait in that direction. Yeah well known spot for the worms, probably why there are so many whiting around I suppose

[@bomberbloke]

@@LightTackleAnglerWA would love to see a video in the future on your general casting technique, and your skip casting into structure...after discovering your vids in the last couple of weeks, I've been thinking I need to incorporate what you're doing more, it seems so effortless yet accurate

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate, will reference it in a future video! there are plenty of vids on yt that explain it I think. I used to practice for hours on end in a swimming pool haha- both skip casting (backhand and forehand) and trying to hit individual tiles on the other side of the pool. Obviously not necessary aha just helped for sure. Practice makes perfect!

[@jogguys]

👍

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks brother

[@r1ftz793]

hey mate, just wondering what lure your using? Thanks

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

daiwa sazanami

[@brettsome1608]

Hey mate which colour sazanami lure do you have the most luck on?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

any of the darker colours are generally good in the river, black and gold is a classic

[@brettsome1608]

@@LightTackleAnglerWA perfect thanks mate

[@camprisov2927]

where did you catch your flat head from?

[@baanggbumm3r]

You reckon soft plastics work great here as well?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

yeah for sure, besides losing a few to blowfish

[@ZairECU]

Can you please make a Video about how to choose Lure and line for Swan river fishing.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

sure mate!

[@meganjones2206]

What reel?

[@hola_soy_khayley2234]

What are best times to go ?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

i like to fish either side of high tide on the flats. also morning and evening are generally good but i look at the tide more.

[@shijjas]

Where is this place?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

mid-river. not actually sure of the suburb

[@tobyofficer]

what lure where you using

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

hey mate, was using the daiwa sazanami, somehow edited that part out
