Surface Bream in West Lakes! Ft. SALMON ATE MY SURFACE LURE | EP.001 AlexsFishin VLOG

[@stefanrusso5496]

Hey Alex, your videos are great! You fish all the places that my dad used to take me just a few years ago... but you actually manage to land the fish :) I’ve been watching for a while now and I think both styles of video have their merits. This was good because at least I learned a lot of you tactics about following the fish and actively pursuing signs in the water. In my opinion land based fishing is tricky because you’re limited to the shoreline but I love watching these videos because you prove that even without a boat and even within Adelaide there are plenty of great places to land a decent fish. Also love how you’re encouraging everyone to be responsible fishers by keeping the areas we fish clean. Usually I only go out crabbing in the warmer months because typically I’ve had little success with the rod but after watching I set the goal to finally catch a table size fish and I did! Well it was just a garfish so nothing huge but still a great improvement for my usual attempts. Can’t wait for the next video update.

[@peteh7966]

Well said!

[@melododie]

Nice salmon mate! 🎣 I really like both styles of video! 📷

[@sempei58]

ha ha...around the 6.00min mark, the slo mo section with the bream splashing....that bream looked huge!!! was expecting 40cm plus.....then you turn around and say 28cm....lol Amazing what a camera can do

[@peteh7966]

Another great video, a responsible fisherman - nice to see. I love these land based lure fishing videos, it can be a pretty hard gig some days but persistence pays off in the end! If you could maybe show the lead up to catches sometimes that would be great, just to show the technique for each lure style. Keep up the great work mate!

[@hapBarracudA]

Great video, it’s just good to see ya get out there and fish. That’s what it’s all about.

[@Alexsfishin]

hapBarracudA Very true mate. 👌

[@sightseefree]

Like the format and very informative. Well done.

[@Angry_76Adventures]

these types of videos are much better

[@jayconnor204]

Got a nice little whiting out there last night!

[@GardeningAnimalsAndFishing]

Any knowledge on the Trimmer Parade end? I haven’t been able to find a Salmon Trout for the last three years, my usual spot at Outer Harbour off those ship watching platforms used to produce the bag limit on paternoster and whitebait but not a bite in such a long time. I’ve since been fishing various other spots targeting Salmon Trout with absolutely no luck. I’m from the old style, burley up and soak a bait.

[@alecogiannop1676]

Good vid mate keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@richardwillmore4037]

Mate, the best part about your channel is you give other fishos knowledge they can use out there on the water to improve their game. I only started fishing 6 months ago, and its such a steep learning curve, but its awesome to have constructive people like yourself who drop knowledge and help us all get to where we want to be. Cheers for all your hard work mate

[@Alexsfishin]

Richard Willmore Really appreciate that feedback Richard. Glad it is going to good use, people like you inspire me to continue. 😊 So thank you for sharing mate!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video man just came back from fishing. only caught 1 kahawa(u know them as salmons lol) and blanked out on the lure sadly but it was a great day 2 b out. not to mention calm and sunny. looks so cool wen the fog sets on the spot u were at

[@Alexsfishin]

Nice! Sounds like a good day out. It was cold, wet and miserable today in Adelaide.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

haha XD

[@sempei58]

damn! i continue watching and you did it again at around the 9.00min mark....i thought that was going to be huge one....Bloody cameras!!! lol

[@chepachii]

Nice vid Alex, I was having some awsesome action there a year ago mid winter.There was thousands of baitfish in an area there and the salmon were herding them in to shore , only after dark and on windy wet nights this particular spot fires.Not quite as big as the one you caught but good solid 30/35 cm, great sport.

[@milanghooncartel3462]

Great video mate 🤙

[@isaxc476]

MiMiC Cheers mate! Appreciate the feedback. I will be uploading another vlog early next week ☺.

[@bacharhouli1]

Great videos young man 👍🎣

[@Northisbest]

Cool Misty 😊

[@wyattryan7041]

Had a bit of a fish around the torrens uni bridge section last night. Let's just say the carp dont seem to mind the cold weather!😂😂 lots of jumps and bites!!

[@Alexsfishin]

Good to hear Wyatt! Was actually thinking about going there myself, but the weather made me stay indoors lol.

[@davidgrubb8803]

Great Vid young fella

[@gibbsysfishing4992]

Great vid mate, keep up the goodwork 🤙

[@Alexsfishin]

Ben Gibbs Cheers mate. 👍☺

[@dcchong8102]

This ia great, keep it up !

[@isaaccooney4862]

Great vid

[@GettinHookd]

they are also whiting holes they feed like that too here in nsw and nest sometimes u can see the males guarding the egg

[@Alexsfishin]

Gettin Hooked DownUnder Hey mate, these aren't whiting holes. Yes we do have yfw in West Lakes but 99% of these are bream holes. Not saying the whiting won't be making these! But it's pretty uncommon in the lake.

[@GettinHookd]

yeah bream make up alot of the holes here to, but yeah sometimes whiting hang out in them the holes. They are probably dug by bream and the whiting take over

[@GettinHookd]

keep up the great vids and would love to see a product review

[@Alexsfishin]

That's an idea mate! Cheers ☺.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Flathead will make a hole like these but more triangular in shape. Stingrays will make a wider, shallower depression.

[@bergasms]

I dind't think you could catch squid in west lakes until a year ago when this guy fishing near me for bream near the old warf near glanville was cursing and carrying on, I asked him what was up and he said squid. Chucked a jig on and got 4 decent squid in 4 casts.

[@Jedi_Triangle]

Awesome vid! Wondering if ya can help me? Your using a 1-2kilo rod graphite rod. I’m thinking of getting a graphite rod for soft plastics, squiding, long casting. 3-7 rod okay for this or stick with ur 1-2kilo?? Is there much difference,?

[@snapgoob9322]

for a long cast on small soft plastics like he uses in the video u want a to go as light as possible but for squid u would need something around 3-6kg.

[@Alexsfishin]

Cheers Nikola. A good rod to start off with that particular use would be a 2-4kg 7ft rod mate.

[@milanghooncartel3462]

and i also like both vlog and the other viedos cheers

[@vint8gevh872]

Hey Alex, great video! You should do another jetty fishing video.

[@Alexsfishin]

Thanks Theo, maybe when this weather settles down a bit! Haha.

[@vint8gevh872]

AlexsFishin - Fishing in South Australia, yeah I heard that most of the local jetties have been closed due to weather like Semaphore, Brighton and all the rest. Also port norlunga as been showing big salmon as of late!

[@Alexsfishin]

theo niki I did hear a few reports today! Just over the kilo mark apparently. I am craving salmon at the moment aha.

[@leechapman7848]

those trout are top eating

[@milanghooncartel3462]

great video mate and i went fishing there last week at about o'clock at night and caught nothing but i got a litle hits and would you be able to tell me what lures are best for salmon and i was use a hard body then man soft plastic lure and didn't land one

[@Alexsfishin]

S0UTH.AUSSIE. B0YS hey mate, cheers! It's very strange, but I havent had much experience with salmon at night time, just after sunrise is usually the best time. My favourite hard body would have to be a Daiwa double clutch for them, but surface lures are also effective if its calm. Grabs their attention I reckon, especially if they're on the prowl for baitfish. With soft plastics, a squidgy flickbait is a good lure. Preferably in pilly colour.

[@milanghooncartel3462]

thanks mate

[@nicksfishinchannel6695]

great video mate

[@Alexsfishin]

Cheers mate.

[@angryfisha982]

Great vid alex

[@tristanlobo8597]

It’s very weird that I live in Adelaide and remember that exact same foggy day

[@Alexsfishin]

We do breathe the same air after all! :)

[@rickygiorgi2527]

Awesome vid mate👍 Whats a good time of the year to catch bream on surface?

[@Alexsfishin]

Thanks Ricky. February to June is the best in SA I've found.

[@rickygiorgi2527]

@@Alexsfishin oh awesome, thanks so much keep up the great work🤙🎣

[@Alexsfishin]

Thanks mate! Hope you get into em..

[@charlieisgangster1232]

How dig do salmon have to be?

[@dylanstewart5317]

Dont mind how you make the vids I just love to watch them

[@jackmahoney884]

what knot do you use to the surface lures

[@Alexsfishin]

Just a blood knot Jack. But I use a small lure clip on the bent minnows because they don't have a split ring.

[@jackmahoney884]

AlexsFishin - Fishing in South Australia thanks heaps

[@mountainbikingbilly8899]

There stingray holes
