BLOKE ON A BOAT Spills the BEST KING GEORGE WHITING Fishing Tips

[@EndlessWeekendFishing]

Looked like a fun trip fellas! 🤙🤙

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yeah it was a good trip. A few laughs and a few fish, even though they were a little small. They feel bigger on the lighter gear. ;)

Good to see u out in the boat alot less effort than land based matty 👍

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yeah was a good session. 👍 Looking forward to getting some more vids out soon!

[@snapperhead51]

good to see you out with Greg, a great guy, pitty you didnt do so well , but just good to be out on the water fishing, heading out in the yak today myself , have to go back toward the power station brigde dew to darn nor east winds, strange winds for this time of year !

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yeah, it was a really fun day out. We weren't expecting to be out there that long, hence the mic receiver on the wide view running out of battery. Even though they were undersized, it was fun to get onto a few and well it looks like there is some good stocks for summer! Good luck on your trip!

Good to see ya getting out for a fish again. Been hard work off St kilda recently

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yeah I have some more vids to come oit the next few weeks. Finding editing time with the new job has been the challenge. Yeah I heard on All the Gear But no Idea podcast that they have been fiting more down at Brighton/Glenelg way...

@@MattsFishingEscapes with the current moon phase its more of a night bite for bigger whiting in shallow

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Cool! Great tip, thanks

[@michaelmifsud2851]

I watch both of you guys, and it is great to see you go out together. Shame about the fish, but better luck next time. Keep the videos coming.😊

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Thanks, Michael! It was a good day oit on the water together. Hopefully, next time we will find the big ones!

I live not that far from St. kilda and am always interested in local content. Question is that raider fishing rod a egeing rod or a light fishing setup?

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

@@michaelmifsud2851 the rod I used was a Raider 722 Bream 1-4KG with a Shimano Ultegra 2500, spooled with 6lb Daiwa J Braid. The egi rod is a Shimano IMPACT X 7'6" 3-6KG 'Egi' with 15lb J Braid and a 12lb Leader. Don't need to go that heavy on the latter but when I am usually lifting from a jetty that's why I go a bit heavier. Hope that helps.

I think a ban zone around St Kilda would be good to stop all the small fish being caught and released before they reach breeding size as their survival rate is very low after release. to catch your 10 legals up there you work through 40 odd fish that very few oif survive, in all reality you might as well just take all 40 as the same damage is being done to the fish stock. Its like "upgrading" a just over legal fish to a bigger fish, the survival rate is low and the practice should be banned I m a keen fisho and believe mother nature needs respect - it isn't a theme park out there still appreciate your videos boyz ! but reckon you need to move away from the nursery not sure that a 3 hook rig is legal - id look up PIRSA!!!! TOP HOOK- I loop a hook through the top eye that you connect the swivel to if fishing tall weed as the tingas take them better and less snagging tight lines lads

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Hey, thanks for that... how do you find out about survival rates? That's all new. Interested to learn more. Re the 3 hooks, the PIRSA website says: "Rods and handlines Each person can use up to 2 rods or 2 handlines or one of each. Each line can have one of the below: up to 3 hooks attached up to 5 hooks joined eye to shank or threaded together (this is considered as 1 hook)." It's always worth checking local regulations... Appreciate you taking the time and your tips!

still beats working. we've always struggled off stkilda way, much prefer the southern waters from west beach just cruising the shallows. just watch the pro.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yep always great to get out on the water!
