BORDER RUN | A Search For New Water.

In this video Reynolds and I hit the road and head down over the border into Northern NSW in search of new water. It's a adventure into the unknown as neither of us has ever seen these systems let alone caught fish in them. We had been studying google earth for some time leading up to this first exploratory mission and had a rough idea of where we were headed and what systems we wanted to check out but really didn't really have a game plan, we would just see where the day took us. With more hours in the car than on the water we felt the pressure of trying to make something happen and in the end we found what we were looking for and finished the long day back on our home turf fishing the familiar waters we had previously discovered.

[@CamBill_ROBLOX]

Great video well done 👍👍👍👍👍 the nature pics was real cool too

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Cheers mate, I’m trying to tweak the way I create vids this year. Should be more destination stuff like this.

[@peppipoohductionswakashunt3157]

Nothing better than an explore, shame it didn’t pay big but you can’t expect it the first time although it would be nice. Good stuff boys.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Thanks mate, I appreciate the support.

[@anthonycox1870]

Cheers aye 👊🏻

[@lukaswasp8162]

Nice. Love seeing the leg work side of things too. Feels like a lot of my fishing trips lately, just trying to find new, worthy spots haha.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Back to my roots mate. Google earth has a bit more going on compared to a a refidex 😉

Sweet vid bro. Love the exploring 🤙🏼

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Was nice to take it all in for a change instead of rushing to catch the most fish.

[@Finnz_n_Tinnz]

Good to see you and Matty back in your natural habitat

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Was good to be back mate.

[@Finnz_n_Tinnz]

Hey I went down that way a couple months back for 4 days, smallest bass I’ve ever caught and heaps cat fish before interested if you can find some bigger ones

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

That’s the plan mate.

Good to see you fishing in some of my local places "Yowie country aka woodenbong" 😂

Reynolds would die if he saw a yowie.

@@LiamFitzpatrick there's also good bass fishing along lions road heading towards browns plains any of them bridges along there with water running through them but not at the moment cause all this rain

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah we have some access out that way, just hard with the QLD regulations to access creeks without land owners permission.

[@dwayno_unknown]

@@LiamFitzpatrick I'm talking about on the NSW side lions road heading towards browns plains

[@stuartpilling6190]

I'm amazed that Cod is still there. After all these floods!

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

The cod don’t move around like the bass do mate. They’ll ride out the nasty stuff and settle back in when everything returns to normal.

[@stuartpilling6190]

@@LiamFitzpatrick I found the photo, it was taken in 2013. 53cm. That was quite some time ago. Good to see a few more in the system now, and the bass are now a more respectable size. Most were 20 - 25cm rats back then.

[@greshfishing2906]

Those chatter baits were my favourite bass lure for ages but I can’t seem to find them anywhere anymore. Where do you get yours from?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Pretty sure I got my last batch from MoTackle mate.

[@JP-cy4uk]

Do you ever fish the Stanley river mate?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

No I’ve never made it up that way mate. Do you fish it?

[@user-es5rh4ew9m]

Can you tell us what is worth exploring and what is not，thank you

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Everything is worth exploring once, that’s the only way you’ll know you can rule it out.

[@vin18m]

What were you thinking coming South? Everyone knows you blokes up North have all the big bass 😂

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Na bass have nothing to do with it mate, every KZbinr has a built in desire to move north cos the fishing is so easy and it’s the cool thing to do obviously mate 🤣

[@rikkcampbell8975]

Queensland is the same bro with access its under the land act 1994

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

No it’s not unfortunately mate. Totally different access rules in Queensland.

[@rikkcampbell8975]

@@LiamFitzpatrick when did it change I have the land act on my phone and have used it to argue with police

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Send me a copy of what you’re referring to on Insta or Facebook mate. Typically what I’ve found is when people start to quote a law they are talking about one that exists for 1m below high water mark which is referring to tidal water not freshwater. I’ve got mates in Fisheries that pulled this information for few more than a few years back now.
