BIG Bait, BIG Fish?

Scott is out fishing for a feed, with one nice fish on ice, its time to see if Big Baits get the Big Fish.
a beautiful morning on the water with plenty of tips and techniques shared.

Nice one as always Scotty. Big snaps love the big baits. First one I got was on a live herring, and it wasn't a small herring! Makes me want to get back into chasing demersals...

[@blacklabel810]

Great mate, very unusual catch of fish, Thank you friend for sharing the information,👍

[@Saltfix]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bruhfish6117]

those big head shakes at 8:59 always scare the sh** out of me on the light stuff ahahah fully under gunned and the nerves settle in

[@rush.gang.fishing]

Man that was an awesome video!! Bummer about the couple big dropped fish but who really cares you got your feed an had a good time in glamour conditions ✅🎣 that placcy run was an 85cm plus big dog I reckon 😅💪🏼

[@Saltfix]

Yep that was the fish I’ve been chasing . Sure I’ll get another shot at it soon

[@LockieFielding-hd1ws]

Great video was filled with action

[@Saltfix]

Thanks Lockie

[@Svengali_Fishing]

Great vid mate! Awesome to hear someone actually talking about what they are doing while they are doing it

[@Saltfix]

Talking shit to myself 😂😂 Cheers mate

[@oceanheartadventures]

hows that amazing sunrise 😍 great vid mate 🤙

[@Saltfix]

Autumn is pretty special on the water

[@oceanheartadventures]

@Saltfix absolutely... just finished the rewire on the boat and the weekend is looking epic for a pinkie session 🤙

[@nathanmcgrath9038]

Scotty you have me sitting on the edge of my seat all the time with that light line. We usually use 80 to 100 pound hand lines in the boat. I like the hand lines because when you feel the weight of a big fish come onto the line you can just let go of it and let them have plenty of time to scoff the bait. Just let the fish hang themselves l. 👍

[@Saltfix]

In the shallow water I fish, you wouldn’t see a fish on 100pd line they would see it . Without the light line I doubt you would get as many hits

[@nathanmcgrath9038]

@@Saltfix you would be surprised. It's the sinker weight they don't like and if you leave a rod sitting in the rod holder when they pull the line and the rod tightens up that's when they drop it or you just lip hook them and the hook pulls.

👍🎣

[@michaelwest188]

Great fish in awesome conditions, well done….you won’t look back now with those hooks.

[@Saltfix]

Hmmm I had two occasions Friday where the hook eye sliced the line , got the knot back intact just cut on thee part that goes around the eye light leader must slip into the join and get nicked . Probs meant to be snelled

[@michaelwest188]

Gee whiz never had that happen …but i haven’t gone below 30lb leader either.

[@Saltfix]

@@michaelwest188 do you tie straight to the hook eye or snell. This was 30pd BM supple and it did it twice with two different hooks Blood knot. Never had it happen before but read of it , must just slip into the gap and get nicked somehow . Once was a small sambo boat side I went to lift and pop Knot still intact. I got it on video but not sure if it’s close enough to see the knot, I’ll check it out. Apart from that the hooks seem ok

[@FishingNOutdoorFun]

wow amazing sharing

[@Saltfix]

Thanks

[@Peter57808]

Missus and I got 12 king George whiting this morning. Nothing like your large fish but a good feed for a few weeks!

[@Saltfix]

Sweet kg are awesome eating

[@jeremystewart9350]

Plastic runs are the best👌 Great work

[@Saltfix]

Yeah they really grab and go. Devo cause that’s the biggest pink I d hooked in ages

[@rareaussie6960]

You really need an electric motor buddy! You will be in heaven ! The way you fish is very similar to my own fishing! Getting in close for kings and helping you anchor right where you want! Keep your videos coming love them! 👍🇦🇺

[@Saltfix]

I’d love an electric spot lock but very expensive , maybe one day

[@user-qw3fi5zi5o]

What do you search for when your looking for good ground for pinky’s dhuies and more demersals just got a boat and I’m completely unsure

[@Saltfix]

Baitfish mostly but just solid structure that fall onto sand . Most of my vids I show where I’m sitting. Got one coming soon where I sound around and show the search

[@hardintothewall8406]

Cracking effort mate 👍

[@Saltfix]

Cheers mate

[@Saltfix]

Thanks mate

[@glynnedwards8437]

Hey mate, Can I ask where abouts you're launching your boat from? I got a little tinny so inshore only for me and this looks like great fishing. cheers

[@Saltfix]

Perth . The whole coast has similar ground just need to spend the time sounding out the ground a bit

[@davidmcelwaine6624]

Scotty thanks again for your video's....always enjoy them. Can you please let me know when you are anchoring, do you drive over the reef into the wind and drop the anchor so your boat sits back on top of the reef or so the boat sits still forward of the reef ? Thanks again David

[@Saltfix]

Anchor on the reef and let the wind blow me back off the edge . I like to be right on the edge. But know others who fish 20-30m out off the edge on the sand and they do well too

[@davidmcelwaine6624]

@@Saltfix thanks for your info....I appreciate your advice

[@CooperDoepel]

When u pulled up the second dhu fish there looked like there was a squid following it?

[@Saltfix]

Yeah saw a few squid in the area again today

[@kevingrenville5903]

How do counteract the rear of boat swinging while on anchor.

[@Saltfix]

Not much you can do, just let it waft around ,
