[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

[@jakattah]

Great to see tarwhine and flounder caught. You could probably add skippy, garfish, cobbler and octopus.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate, added :)

Love your videos happy to see you’ve returned

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate!

[@nickwalter7532]

Good to have you back. Great topic too. Would you be able to do a short vid on your line weights. Info about leaders and best weights for your soft plastics ?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks man- i like to fish light. for bream and tarwhine, unless i'm fishing VERY tight structure i'll use 4lb leader (a couple of arms length for treble hooked lures and one arm length for soft plastics). i'll run 5 or 6lb around very heavy strcutre or if im targeting silver trevally / small samson fish in the river, also if im targeting flathead. lighter than most but, unless you use very small soft plastics, 6lb for flathead will rarely give you a problem. for bream, i'll default to 1/16th ounce jighead and if there's not much current i'll go lighter even down to 1/40th at times with the right plastic. if there's a lot of current e.g a bridge on a running tide i'll go to 1/12th if need be. you can go to 1/8th if necessary, probably best to slow roll on the bottom when using 1/8th as the hopping motion can be a bit fast and jarring for the bream. for most other bread and butter fish species in perth, a 1/12th or 1/8th jighead is fine and it allows you to fish faster with better casting distance (e.g flathead fishing) braid wise, stick to 0.6PE (equivalent of 6lb in daiwa j braid and shimano kairiki, but more expensive braids will have a higher breaking strain for the same line width (PE is basically a measurement of diameter)). PE0.8 or 1 is good for tailor off the beaches etc, PE1-2 for salmon, bonito etc off jetties, beaches and maybe rockwalls. its 4am so may have missed something but there you go :)

[@ArronKobelt]

caught both these species today! happy to see you back.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

well done mate! thanks a lot

[@Gavin_Phan255]

He's backkkk. Great video! 👏

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate

[@ChrissyFishing-TalesfromaBusyM]

I really enjoy your style of video, thanks for the inspiration. Keep 'em coming!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks!

[@Perth_fishermen]

I’ve been waiting so long for another post and this was worth the wait banger vid keep up the great work you inspire me ❤

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thank you so much my friend!

[@Perth_fishermen]

@ all good mate your a legend I’m so happy you replied

[@angusbutterfield4581]

Great session and cool idea! Good to see you back!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks!

[@nikolaoudream]

As a new beginner to fishing, could you share a video of what's in your tackle box?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

i'm very disorganised so probably dont have as much as i should, i was even using nail clippers as pliers in this video aha. braid scissors and a delicate pair of pliers are probably the most under used things in people's tackle boxes.

[@colindaniels9549]

Welcome back, I always really enjoy your content 👍🏻

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate!

[@kookfishin]

awesome video idea bro!! no one is really stepping outside of there content comfort zone (and for good reason being that perth is a challenge in itself) this will make for some amazing content to come and im keen to see how this series pans out.....might even copy teehee (with credit of course) hahahaha

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks man! was writing a comment on your video when i saw this aha. I find making something unique the most difficult part about making fishing videos so this series was mostly made as a way to not just put out videos that have been done before.

[@kookfishin]

@ you’re damn right in saying that man. And even if you have a completely original idea its very hard to execute alot of the times due to perths really slow fishing You definitely achieved that broski ive never seen something like this done before. Kudos to you man

[@reinnlima1]

Incredible. Welcome back bro!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks man!

[@MafiaMiniMan]

great to see you back into it man i knew a vid had to be coming after i seen you down at the canning bridge a few weeks back, looking forward to seeing the series mate!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thank you my friend!

[@TonysFishingAdventures]

Yes! The GOAT is back, can't wait for more bro.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

haha thanks man

[@Pablo668]

Close to where I live. I've never caught a flounder before, and I didn't know that spot was good for them. Great vid. I've caught Breem, Cobblers, Flatheads, Tailor and yellowtails.......also plenty of blowies and the occasional trumpeter. You've got to try for Mulloway, but you need time and an obsessive streak to get them.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

not a bad place to live!

[@thehitchhikingfisho6380]

Looking forward to ep 2. Might be relatively easy to catch a Harlequin on a trip down south? While you're at it, maybe add in Blue Groper, Marron and Abalone while you're at it?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate, have considered whether I should expand the series the series beyond Perth, i think i'll target those species when i head down there as a sort of bonus side quest. episode 2 should be out on the weekend

[@iloveweetbix]

so happy u finaly posted bro

Yeah I’m already hooked to this series very cool idea mate! Don’t take tool long to share the next episode ✅🎣😅

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

aha thanks mate, have already been planning the next ep. loving the land based vids mate good to see. In fact, maybe make a few bad videos thanks you're making me look bad 😄

[@TBJ_fishingboyz]

So glad your back you should try target mulloway up the river

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

will do!

[@dfjmadventures]

Great to see you back mate - love the goal! Maybe a couple of subsets for thought: Crustaceans/cephalopods - pretty common fare in Perth - only if you want to go beyond fish of course 😅 Again, good to see another vid

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks man, have been checking in on your channel during my time off :). Good suggestion, will add Blue Swimmer and possibly cuttlefish to the list!

[@Ilikebadketball]

Great to see you posting again

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks man

[@elizabethharvey8553]

Went fishing in Mindarie marina the other day and caught 3 juvenile pink snapper and also caught a blue swimmer on my rod the week before that in the same place. If you go there watch out for the cormorants I had one steal 2 fish from me and my rig.

[@Chucky-b7v]

Great work 👍🏼 those two were great species.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate!

[@davidmoran78]

Excellent video, Thank you.

[@hainesadventures2929]

Cracking video good to see you back at it, could maybe add carp/koi/goldfish, silver perch and drummer. those buggers go hard

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks man, will make a few additions :)

New here, great epp and look forward to seeing more.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate! going for some more elusive like giant herring at the moment for episode 2 but failing that will be going for some more bread and butter fish. thanks for watching :)

[@leejenkins4654]

@@LightTackleAnglerWA I foul hooked one ( giant herring) on a blade lure at kent street weir , Was very surprised . Good luck!!

[@nikolaoudream]

Great to see you back to post! Would you recommend any nice spots to catch southern calamari?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate, the freo rockwalls are good for squid especially in low light conditions and /or clean water

[@iusjkdhfgfik]

was the flounder like in-between the canning bridge and the rowing pavilion I fish there quite a bit

[@GosperTYVS]

Master skills brother let’s go 👍🏼 can’t wait to see the completion !!! 🔥❤️‍🔥🔥😎👌🏼 Btw new sub 😊🤙🏼

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks man !

[@lewdards1127]

nice. i love fishing but im really bad at it so its nice to watch what could be if i were born a fishman.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate, I only started fishing at 18 or so, my dad hates fishing. No need to be born a fisherman as long as you put in a bit of effort to learn :)

[@stephenwinsor2151]

you missed the mighty silver ghost - the mulloway! great video series idea btw

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

that one was on the list - definitely up there with giant herring as the most prized species for me!

[@Semkyy]

Would love to see you add Carp to the list 😂. You can get them pretty easily in the upper canning.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

will do :)

[@tomderri2744]

I was on holiday beach fishing for flathead or flounder at Moore river, slowly making my way up the beach. About half an hour in a bloody shovel nose shark took my lure not 4 feet from where I was standing. Almost needed fresh underwear!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

i'm sure the heart was racing!

[@J3FISHING44]

Continue these are super good

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate, will film the next one in the next week or so hopefully!

[@Samarjit-q2b]

do more challenges like this, we love them

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate!

[@jenniharris7285]

Hiya mate! Can you list the gear you’re using please? Looks nice and light, just right for what I would like to do!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

millerods twitchfreak (rod) with daiwa revelry 2000s. definitely not cheap and there are good combos at a cheaper price but its very nice to fish with

[@thataustralian4078]

try topwater whiting in the mandurah estuary, south yunderup has a boat ramp that has heaps of flats you can walk out to and find hundreds of whiting

[@thataustralian4078]

also has crabs

[@thataustralian4078]

and the boat ramp has cobbler at night

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks man, definitely high on the to-do list! thanks for the tips i'll put them to use

[@LandmarkFishing1]

Think that first Tarwhine had one too many 😂 Great video mate!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

😂😂😂

[@chrishung7582]

you should show the location and the name of fish when you caught it and also what bait is best for it that way it will be very educational (i am very new btw - not started fishing yet but learning)

[@gamingboys5238]

It's so nice to have someone fish in my local area, also can I know what the swan you get flatties. I really wanna try get some this summer

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate! think youve made a typo but flatties are pretty much everywhere in the river, especially on sand flats with some weed patches and preferably a nearby dropoff. point walter, point roe and freshwater bay are good places to try

[@gamingboys5238]

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it​@@LightTackleAnglerWA

[@kalunvinka]

I got most of my Tarwhine catch at canning bridge.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

yeah probably the best spot for them, but i wanted to target them specifically rather than 50/50 chance of bream or tarwhine

[@troyhill1931]

Maybe salmon trout I know you get a few around Rockingham. Great idea by the way

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

good suggestion! thanks mate will try in Rockingham or mandurah

[@BenFerraris-fd8fo]

Try go for carp I know there are a few in some lakes near the abandoned power station in Coogee

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

oh really, will have to have a look. i've tried to catch in the run off there by the beach but felt like I was going to grow a third eye by just being there.

[@BenFerraris-fd8fo]

You could also go to jackadder lake for carp

[@StuartMunro-r9b]

I'm itching to catch bream/tarwhine around Freshwater Bay as its really convenient for me. How likely am I to encounter these species here? Seeing you catch two tarwhine at the boatshed gives me hope, but I've flipped crabs and cranks under it many times with no luck! Any tips on the better spots close to freshwater bay?

[@yudikoozd3045]

What about carp and or koi. I haven't fished in a decade but all of a sudden I've gotten myself a light rig and decided I'm gna try catch one in a reserve or river been out once with no luck , ps don't think I'ma catch any but will spend as much time as possible trying lol

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

sounds like a plan! on the fence about carp because i'm hesitant to promote fishing in an area with no fishing allowed, which a lot of carp spots in Perth seem to be (from my understanding but could be wrong). If I can find a spot that allows fishing i'd be happy to add carp or koi to the list!

[@joelbruning632]

You could add mullet? I've caught a few on lures in the canning river over the years. Also, not native and I question the legality of finding them, Murray Cod.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

good idea, will add mullet :). vaguely remember reading an article about a murray cod in a Perth pond, will have to look into it. Thanks mate!

[@robertmooney921]

Mundaring weir has monster Murry cod , water temperature is wrong they can't breed but the previously stocked are huge of course it's illegal and monitored by drones . Old ranger told me years ago..

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

@@robertmooney921 interesting! have seen a bloke on youtube catch redfin there, probably had no idea he wasnt supposed to be there

[@JackYon-z8e]

Where are you fishing next episode?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

not sure yet, will see if i can tick off a giant herring but if not then will go for some bread and butter species maybe

[@AmmonM-zo3lc]

Hey mate where’s the flounder spot if u don’t mind 😅 they’re my nans fav

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

hey mate glad to hear your nan is so into fishing, it was lower-mid river off stirling hwy. people get upset if i name spots so she'll have to figure the rest out but google earth will do the trick

[@lizejun1130]

Hi, I just moved to Perth and live near to Swan River. Could you recommend some good fishing spots please?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

causeway bridge for bream and point walter for flathead are good places to start. narrows bridge has a bit of everything

[@Perth_fishin]

Giant herring coming into season👀

will be chasing them for sure!
