I just love a young man like this talking about "back when I was a kid". I'm not being mean, I remember those days pretty well myself. The terrifying part is how fast the years go once you get out of school and such. Good onya Josh!

[@MR-dh4sw]

I heard that and then he got into the driver's side 😮 😂

[@felipevazquez123]

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

Josh, stumbled across this video quite by accident, so glad I did. Love the cinematography, commentary and overall ethos. I think you're going g to go far, I hope my sub contributes to your future success.

[@ChrispyyWings]

Your videos are always amazing to watch mate. I havnt used bait in years, but this made me excited for it again

[@joshdfishing]

Appreciate it mate🤘🏼

[@johnsipolis]

Good work Josh,love your presentation mate, your new subscriber numbers will climbing fast.

[@joshdfishing]

Haha thanks John mate🤙🏼

[@cozfromoz]

Another top vid Josho.... I find bait you will always catch heaps but not many of good size and with lures mainly of top size but maybe not as many🤙

[@georgemanias5177]

Good vid mate, good job keeping the content interesting and congrats on 2k🤙

[@joshdfishing]

Thanks mate😁

[@wayneberry8703]

G’day Josh, what a great challenge mate. I’ve done similar myself years ago when I first started fishing with lures and results were very similar to yours. I do love using lures. Great video mate, keep them coming.

[@mikig1021]

sick vid josh and congrats on 2k subs!

Cheers Miki🤙🏼I’m bloody stoked I hit 2k as well

Yew cheers David mate🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@archiemccafferty9136]

Another fantastic video Josh! Nice concept of bait vs plastic. I'd expect the live bait in particular to outfish the plastic, but personally prefer using the plastic due to ease of availability and not having to preserve the livies. Actually, I'd be happy just to go fishing again now that restrictions are being eased........yipee!!

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah I had a couple people suggest doing a bait vs lure challenge. So I thought I’d make it happen ;). And I also like you said prefer how much more convenient lure fishing is. Just pack your stuff in the car and go. No worry about getting your bait and what not

[@TradingTheBias]

Great video. This channel will blow up. Keep up the good work.

[@joshdfishing]

Hahah maybe one day mate :)

[@thekidfisho8181]

Cool video mate I always use yabbies caught lots on them

Great vids mate, please keep them coming. Can I ask which fish activity app you use?

[@joshdfishing]

Thanks man. I use fishing points👌🏼

[@jordythebassist]

Great session mate! Gotta say though, big difference between live yabbies and frozen prawns from the servo though 😅 That was a nice flattie on the plastic too 👌

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah frozen prawns are definitely not that go😂

[@jimjim773]

been waiting for some bait in a while now! though your vids actually made me get back to trying lures again lol👍 btw at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="258">4:18</a> all that stuff on the ground is samphire- you can eat it and its really good if you want to do catch and cook

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah had quite a lot people asking me to use bait. I’m not much of a fan of bait but hey. It’s good to mix things up👍🏼

[@davidagius4753]

G'day Josh, recently discovered your work and your content is really great! I'm just curious to know what video editing software you use?

[@JamesFishingAdventures]

Good stuff mate!

[@joshdfishing]

Cheers dude😄❤️

[@brennenthegoon2362]

Bro I’m happy to say that one day your gonna be big and you will on your channel

[@rileypaine6555]

Amazing yet again love your challenge videos. I know I have asked in a previous video but any chance of a light tackle talk and lures u use light tackle fishing and medium set-ups

[@joshdfishing]

I might do that as a short vid because I’ve had so many people ask. I might do it when I get myself a bait caster setup for bass👌🏼

[@joshdfishing]

So I have a nice amount of gear that will be interesting to talk about cause the gear is all used for different circumstances

[@rileypaine6555]

@@joshdfishing yeah would be interesting but I think allot of people would like to see your main 10 rods and reel combos and what lb line is on them and what u use them for and the lures u use with that set-up yewww

hey josh, I’ve been getting really unlucky with the flatfellas but coming into warmer months I think I’ll get a couple more, what would be ur best and most reliable lures for them. Also congrats on 2k subs 🥳

[@joshdfishing]

Hey Jimmy. I would highly recommend the zman 3 inch minnows in any colour. And the daiwa double clutch 95mm also works very very well👍🏼

hey man, great video. what app were you using?

[@joshdfishing]

Thanks mate :) and the app is called fishing points

Great vids Josh, what apps are you using in this vid, thanks in advance

[@joshdfishing]

Cheers mate. I use fishing points, fishing times, and berometer👍🏼

[@LeonAust]

Oh my back.......................lures for me.🤣

[@72mardy]

I've got two of those Tempesta VXS rods. 6'6 ultra light and 7'0 ultra light, both with 2000 sized Daiwa reels. Great little rods for the price.

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah they are good rod in my opinion. It was my first proper lure fishing rod and I’ve pulled in some bigggg flathead on that setup👌🏼 works a treat

[@williammalkowski]

Hello, Cheers from Brazil, really enjoying your videos, can tell all this apps u showed to look at the air pressure, ty

[@jasonlewis2990]

Ive swapped predominantly to circle hooks for the same reason, too many fish hooked in the guts and I like to release all mine. Great vid mate, keep em coming

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah I’ve had a couple people tell me to use circle hooks. But at the same time if they get swallowed they do even more damage then the hooks that I was using do.

[@VektrumSimulacrum]

@@joshdfishing The main issue with circle hooks is finding one that's designed well (or correctly) and getting as close as you can to the size that's just right for what you're targeting. Its made even more of a pain due to the fact that there is no size standard. A #4 in one brand can be a #8 in another. Sometimes that #4 can be physically the same size as a different brand's #2 on the other end.

[@harrisgraves592]

Hey Josh, I fish bottom in Alaska If I need to put my rod down by choice or otherwise, I have a leash about 3 foot long with a clip to hook into the rod eye, tying the rod down. It prevents any rod loss. Anything worse than losing a big'un is to lose your gear too.

[@fishingwiththamma]

Another awesome video Josh, featuring wet shoes again 😂

[@joshdfishing]

Hahah gotta have wet shoes + trackies😂

[@harrywaba]

G'day josh, was wondering what app gave you all of those statistics like the fish activity?

[@stephensutton2752]

Hi Josh Great content and delivery mate, well done! Are you able to let me know what scent you are using. I need all the help I can get sometimes.

[@Adam_Outdoors]

"Back to childhood roots" So you were there yesterday? lol

[@justyouraveragegraffwriter4101]

Wouldn’t be a Josh d vid without a stingray

[@mandygraham6780]

You’re so good at fishing I got to go in to fishing comps I caught nine flathead and one brim

[@maldrury8313]

Interesting challenge! Did you work the lure or was it just sitting on the bottom like a bait?

[@joshdfishing]

Nah worked the lure while the bait just say there

[@waymouth7]

nice video mate i havent pumped nippers in a hot minute. Out of curiosity what app are you using to indicate fish activity?

[@joshdfishing]

Pumping those yabbies really took me back to my roots 10-12 years ago pumping them with my pop

[@joshdfishing]

Oh and the app is called fishing points👍🏼

[@LeoHutch]

What site or app did you use about the fish activity? Good vids btw , very inspiring

[@brennanwebb6001]

love the content mate keep it up but i have a question how old are you if you don’t mind me asking

[@mariafahey4124]

Great video mate. Can you tell me what area you are fishing? I would like to find somewhere to fish where there are no people because most of the places I go to fish, every man, child and their dog are there. Thankyou

[@decy_j1473]

A bit of prawn from the gas station gets a good brim Josh. Where do you fish in this video??

[@shannontogo6538]

Hi Josh,hope you didn't have too much back or hammy pain next day after pumping them yabbies,my question,I noticed you didnt have a swivel on the bait set up and just had running sinker to hook, what's the reason for this please?also did you try putting the live yabbie on a jig head?

[@joshdfishing]

Gday Shannon. I was lucky enough to have no muscle pain the next day🤣 and I used a running sinker because I was lazy hahah. I usually would use a swivel but yeah. Got lazy with it.

[@personintheworld9873]

Hey josh, you probably won’t see this but what fishing apps do you use I haven’t been able to find a useful one. Hope you blow up soon thx😊.

[@mik1952]

Hi Josh I am wondering if you could tell me what the program is that you use for Tide and weather is you showed in this Video. Keep on fishing like your vids you do. Kim

[@joshdfishing]

Cheers Kim. Well for tide and weather I use wily weather. But for fishing times I use the app fishing points👍🏼

[@-sook-]

Never checked the flounder, still awesome video

[@francinewalker67]

Great vid! Does that fish activity app actually work? Is it worth the 7 dollars or so a month

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah the fishing points app is very very accurate. But I like to use 4 apps just so I know I’m fishin on a good day👌🏼

[@topgunqh]

Josh, a great way to spend a day - as you said the big problem with bait fishing is the inhaling of the hook making a release really difficult. I have been using Gamakatsu Shiner hooks - mainly size 2 and 2/0 - and have found that not only are they a great shape for baiting with yabbies but the shape of the hook has resulted in better than 90 per cent of the time hooking either in the corner of the mouth or through the bottom jaw. The are easily removed and make for little harm and an easy release.

[@joshdfishing]

Thanks mate I’ll give em a look👌🏼

[@Hookingwithharley]

Hey Josh what type of fishing glasses do you recommend for young teens?

[@Jwgamerjwgame]

In my experience with yabbies I often found the ones with bigger nippers get attacked more by the fish.

[@hiltonmccowage9436]

Another excellent video. Well done. Bait has some benefits over lures obviously it’s natural. But you can get pestered by rubbish fish example toads A well worked lure rarely gets rubbish fish. I recently to my surprise caught a flounder on soft plastic he also in hailed it deep , After removing the plastic he was not too good but after about 20 minutes he swam away. How did you flounder recover ?

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah that’s another thing aye. With lures your really cutting out the amount of little fish catch. But with bait you can catch anything of any size :( and yeah if I’m gonna be completely honest. I got caught up in everything and forgot about the flounder ahah I landed a flatty right near him and he wasn’t there. So I’m gonna guess it swam off🤷

[@tommontgomery8577]

Did the flounder live?
