[@glenbaker4024]

I ran out of worms once (had accidentally grabbed an old punnet with mostly dead worms) and put the dirt from the punnet in my bait catcher and it worked. Once used a lug nut as a sinker, necessity is the mother of invention. A friend uses only nuts instead of lead as sinkers and they work well too. I saw the same guy catch a yellow belly with a piece of tin foil on a hook when we ran out of bait. Cheers

[@robbiefishing]

Haha that's so cool. A friend of mine caught redfin on bubble gum at Lake Buffalo when he ran out of bait once. Haha 😂😂😂

[@deedubya3884]

Another great video, thanks Robbie for all your time and effort, very enjoyable as always. Forgetting tackle didnt stop you from catching fish and im sure we have all made the same mistake lol. I must add that your editing is getting really good, videos are top notch! You are a great all round entertainer for all ages. Legend!

[@robbiefishing]

Thank you so much mate. 👍👍

"Flies don't go down as good as chocolate!" Not a truer word spoken mate! Nothing worse 😂

Always awesome content mate! Keep up the good work!

[@Urbanfisho]

NICE to see the shrimpies on the move!

[@Chucky-b7v]

Evening Robbie 👍🏼. That looks like a really nice spot where you are fishing. Those shrimp 🦐 are great bait. Oh my lord 🫢 no tackle! Ooooop’s sky raisins lol 😂, not as good as chocolate, lol…. Poor Bugger… great video mate.

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks Wayne. That flat went down like a bag of gravel. LOL 😂😂😂

[@aaronfowkes2117]

Great video Robbie! Thank you for the laughs that you give my family. Whenever I relate one of your "dad" jokes to Kaz (my wife), her reply is always the same...."Stop watching Robbie "!!! 😂 Have a good day mate. Cheers 👍

[@robbiefishing]

Hahahaha thanks so much mate. I'm glad that I can give you all a laugh. LOL

Nice Robbie love using shrimp for bait they work really well and way to rig the rod up mate it worked cheers

[@gordontierney4895]

Few oldtyre weights cut into 1cm squares and a 1mm hole drilled through is what I keep in a pill bottle with a cheap pack of hooks in my glovebox or under my seat for emergencies like this

[@kevdimo6459]

Another entertaining video Robbie, I’ve just finished buying some new fishing gear, and I’m going to start flicking lures and soft tailed jigs around some beaches here around Rockingham where I live. You’ve finally got me in the right mood again for fishing, so thanks for sharing your videos with me, i know it’s a different kind of fishing but I’m looking forward to it. Also when you pack your shrimp trap see if you can’t take a flytrap along with you. 😂👍🏼👍🏼

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Kev, that is so cool. Good luck mate, I hope you catch heaps of fish. A fly trap... Now that's a good idea. LOL 😂😂😂

[@christopherbegg6686]

Hey Rob love watching your videos have a look around lug stumps and that you will find fish hooks the

[@robbiefishing]

Thn ks mate. I did have a bit of a look, but wasn't able to find any unfortunately. I need to plant a hidden container down there somewhere for every time I forget something. LOL 😂😂 It would need to be big enough to fit my landing net in. LOL 🤣🤣

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I fish either superlight or heavy. A tiny split shot is a great slow sinking rig. And a big hook with a big chunk of fish and a sinker is a great heavy rig. A branchy tree in the water is my go to shrimp spot. There will also be fish in the area.

[@brettellis1837]

Big blue water jugs ya getfrom drakes cut top off place 8 gauge wire for handle on top cut a bit of garden hose split one side place on top.😂mine had it 7 years now.😊

[@MarkThornton1]

Please, please, please Robbie - Get yourself some "baitrunner" style reels. It saves your rods being pulled in & being broken off on the 1st strike. The rear drag prevents it, as it allows line to spool out at whatever tension you set. As soon as you turn the reel handle, it reverts to the front drag.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Cheap ones aren't waterproof, but it doesn't matter in freshwater.

[@TheGreatoutdoorsAndGourmetVic]

Water looks good hey!

[@robbiefishing]

It did.. it's all flooded now. LOL

[@TheGreatoutdoorsAndGourmetVic]

@@robbiefishing You saw the flood pulse come down.

[@danold6443]

sometimes an unweighted worm is your best friend. No drag! Always have a small tackle box on hand!! Rookie error 🤣Love the shrimp bucket! where do you get those? Nice bucket of bait, I'm surprised you didn't use one instead of worms? Match the hatch etc. lovely little green fish! Tight lines.....

[@choatus]

Great video mate, that fly scene LOL!! If I ever get down around your way would be awesome to go for a flick around one of these rivers, some nice looking spots that seem to be pretty active. I love fishing for freshwater fish, they are my go to for some reason, it always seems to take you to beautiful spots and you usually get some time to relax a little and take in nature ( as long as the fish aren't on the bite).

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I feel so privileged to live where I do. I love it here.

[@StanthorpeGarbo]

Great video Robbie 👍 Nice Murray Cod

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. 👍👍

[@ZombieObsidian]

went to Nagambi today. Wow what a day's fishing. 3 Cod between 50 and 65cm, 2 yellowed both 23cm's and 31 reddies. The best thing ZERO carp

[@robbiefishing]

WOW Well done mate, that's amazing. I didn't realise that there were so many redfin in there. 👍👍

[@dantemadden671]

Robbie a few months ago I was at lake Buffalo, the water was as cold as penguin balls, but my mate and I were catching shrimp and yabbies, they only come out at night there because it's so clear, they were in and around the boat ramp and grass flats either side of it, and we saw some sleeping redfin, I also caught a gudgeon with a landing net, it was amazing just how many there were considering how cold the water was

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks buddy. WOW that's really cool. I know there's a lot of redfin in there, but I've never seen shrimp. That's news to me. The fact that they were so active in winter is really bizarre.

[@hiddentruth1982]

Can you hear that thunder? Better run, better hide, better take cover.

[@robbiefishing]

Haha Men At Work, a good old Aussie band.

[@mickwatson2177]

Half a steamed dimsim per net mate. Perfect 👍🐕🤠

[@Horseymchorseface]

You need an emergency kit in the glove box 😂 kids have a cheapy little telescopic rod and reel and a tiny emergency box with bare basic tackle in the back of my car for times when we are out and about and see a good spot, telescopic rod comes in handy for yabbies aswell

[@robbiefishing]

That's an excellent idea. Thank you. I must look into a cheap telescopic rod for emergencies.

[@NoahHull-yx7px]

No hooks an sinkers😂 same thing happened to me last week and I snapped my line too. The only time it seems to snap is when there’s no hooks or sinkers lol great video

[@robbiefishing]

Haha I'm glad it's not just me that forgets things. LOL Thanks mate. 👍👍

[@Raproe]

Got my first bait caster yesterday

[@robbiefishing]

Awesome, good luck with it mate.

[@iUsedToBC0OL]

You ALWAYS forget to bring something. Very funny

[@robbiefishing]

Haha I know, I'm a shocker for forgetting things. LOL

[@TobysfishingNoutdoors]

Those snags would be great bait for me 🤣🤣, not the shrimp…. I can’t belive of all people, it’s the legend himself who forgot tackle 😂. Keep up the amazing work mate! Ur a true Aussie legend! Tight lines brotha! 🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks so much mate. I am an absolute shocker for forgetting things. LOL 😂😂

[@andrew4x4au666]

Don't fight it, just swallow that fly down haha. I recognised that spot, went there late August and got nothing. Good to see there is more action now, I'll be heading up to Wodonga, and going for a fish around Howlong before Christmas. Hopefully the Cod gods are favourable!

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks so much mate. Just swallow the fly... I will remember that for next time. "don't fight the fly". LOL 🤣🤣🤣 Good luck at Howling mate.

[@1tr1ck]

Great video mate. Kylie was swimming around in that part of the river nude a few yrs ago 😂 . Yes a shrimp catch and cook is in order 👍

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha thanks mate. LOL 🤣 We've all been guilty of doing that at some point. LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@imo8628]

Robbie, Robbie, Robbie, I'm so disappointed with you, I would have thought you of all anglers would have had a backup container of fishing gear hidden under the drivers seat or somewhere in your ute, ha, ha, ha , you are most entertaining mate. cheers buddy, take care and stay safe. 👍

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks mate. An "emergency kit" will be added to my vehicle very soon.

[@geoffhunt6439]

As A south Aussie we call them shrimp and as a dinky die I had a laugh at your fly lunch because if you haven’t swallowed one you haven’t spent much time outdoors. 😂😂😂😂. I have a back pack with nearly everything I need in it and more. 😊

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Geoff. Hahaha it's certainly a very Australian thing to do. LOL 😂😂

[@Frank-ux4di]

@robbiefishing right now it's 20f here but with the wind chill it's feels like 13

[@anthonybusiello9948]

Nice Robbie. At least it looked like you had some fun. Shrimp are a nuisance to keep alive, they need a LOT of water and oxygen. I decided to get that boat and imma take her out for a spin tomorrow in the basin. Nice 3.7 meter with a 15hp yam (great HP since my min was 10hp). Tight lines

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Good luck, it's a ripper day today. I hope you can get onto a few.

[@DonaldGardiner]

Hey mate, I use soap to catch shrimp cheap works well .

[@19ZOLTAN18]

When you were showing the aerator, i couldn’t help but notice the nut sedge weeds to your left. That’s an invasive weed from Asia. Horrible things, I noticed it never existed till 2010. Every time my Mrs and I see just one blade of nut sedge, we pick it from our lawn. Its bulbs stay in the soil until they finally die. Anyways great video as always Robbie! I wouldn’t mind using shrimp

[@robbiefishing]

WOW I never knew that. Sounds hectic.

[@Tjeff-d8t]

Great vids bro keep it up. Could you please do a video on how to do the panenosta rig.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I must film a new updated video of the Paternoster rig, thanks for the great suggestion.

[@robhunter7236]

If you listen carefully, you can hear Robbie's toenails curling up while disposing of that Fly. So very, very close to Burleying that fishing hole. I know there's nothing worse but I laughed till I cried :)

[@robbiefishing]

Hahahaha 😂😂😂 It's bloody disgusting isn't it. LOL

[@matthewmcclure5218]

Hey Robbie fun scientific fact, shrimp have pincers on the front 2 sets of legs , prawns only have pincers on the first set of legs.

[@robbiefishing]

Awesome, thanks for the heads up mate. 👍👍

[@grahamseymour8439]

Have you used different color collapsible or tested different color net as I bought blue nets as that was all that was available and my other nets were starting to fall apart and I had a lot of trouble catching shrimp in blue net I did try staggering the color of the nets and the blue net was still a fail I gave them away just recently and I'm on the lookout for the green or brown net.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate that's very interesting. I have not noticed any difference between colours personally, but I certainly do not doing you. Great observation. 👍👍

Good one mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍, looked like it ended a bit wet hahahahaha

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Cam, it sure did mate. It hasn't stopped raining since. LOL

[@tropic2860]

Why is fishing un-waited better ? Just curious as I’m new

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I just think it's easier to trick the fish to take the bait if they don't feel the weight of the sinker.

[@tropic2860]

@ hey mate, ahh thanks that makes sense 🔥

[@redtobertshateshandles]

1: The bait slowly falling is searching the whole depth of water. 2: Sinkers make a huge noise as they hit the water. 3: More time for the fish to see the bait and bite. 4: The bottom is only one of the places fish find food. 5: What worm or other bait plummets to the bottom. It's unnatural. Fish know that they can't catch it. 6: what Robbie said. Fish suck the bait into their mouths. A heavy sinker isn't helping you.
