Chasing Snapper with soft - plastics (catch & clean)

[@davesmith6891]

Just what I needed to see after dealing with the floods here in gympie, keep up the great work sammy 👏 👍

[@_Sarraart]

Cant wait for next weeks episode….’Welcome to another Sammy Hitzke fishing adventure! Today ladies and gentleman we are fishing the rapids of the Brisbane river chasing some threadies and dodging pontoons. We got seano and the phantom on board with us with the wet weather gear on and sporting some of the new merch . We are going to be road testing out the new Wilson 750kg anchor to see if it has the goods to hold us steady. We might even have a cheeky throw of the net and see if we can get onto some prawns or a half sunken yacht. Stick around guys you don’t wanna miss this action.’

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah yeah that sounds pretty accurate at this stage mate!!

[@jefferyhayes8485]

Thanks mate another Sunday arvo sitting at home with a beer watching Sammy Hitzke Fishing. Cant wait to see what you are catching next week.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Appreciate the support mate! Glad your enjoying them 🍻🍻

[@bigd4000]

Luvd the vid Sammy it’s great to watch u fishing in our local waters it gets me frothing for when this weather buggers off👍

[@waynelee-leong9856]

Thanks mate great vid again. Gets me back in the zone when I can't get out. Top stuff👍🍻

[@pardus8panthera5]

Respect for the catch & release of those snapper...

[@aaroncross2366]

I like longer rods too. The standard Salmon/Steelhead rod for rivers on the west coast USA is 8'6". I like that length but I have had rods up to 10' which like you say casts farther, and the action wears the fish out faster as well.

[@SG-Gody]

Sensational Sammy. Love your work.❤ In W.A.

[@jessicabale1360]

Love it!! Just caught my first legal snapper last week. Would love to get some bigger ones like these 👍👍

[@alexleinhardt4062]

Nicely done Sammy👍

[@CaptainSloose]

we call those Porgies or scup on the east coast US ... we usually catch them on bits of clam. Decent eating but not my favorite. thats a good porgy tho!

[@aaronthomas2823]

well done on getting out before the Floods mate, hope all is well and cant wait to see you out there soon, my hunting grounds around wello, Green and Mud are little off bounds atm but possibly the fish are pushing out towards your secret spots mate, good luck and cant wait for the next ep.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah mate pretty damn wet up here. Going to be interesting to see what it does to the fishing over the next month or so 😬😬

Hey mate love your videos was wondering what side reel and rod weight do you use, also are you left handed or right just wondering why you have your reel on the left hand side thanks mate

[@jessehebert5418]

Hey mate love your videos . Just wondering where abouts you mostly fish not asking exact location been chasing snapper of the tweed and unfortunately only been getting under size ones and barely a bite all good if you don’t wanna give location or bar you go out through

[@darrenhill6988]

Love the content mate. So good.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

[@HRCREPSOL]

Easy to catch Snapper on Plastics, it’s all I’ve ever used, just gotta have the GPS MARKS, like all fishing, If the fish are there, most will hook up! It’s just finding them! Would love to know more spots, but like always, fishos protect their marks!

[@davidthelan9304]

Big miss out. Mac Tuna are beautiful eating. Fillet thin sliced fried in some garlic butter and it tastes just like a beautiful steak

[@kurtis105]

Sammy i am looking at getting a electric motor mainly for spot lock shallow bottom dropping , Do you Rate the water snake geo pro, Xi5 pro or is it worth spending the extra money on Minn Kotta riptide, any help would be appreciated.

Hi Sammy, are you just doing a drift and do you cast up-current to get it to the bottom or what is the technique?

Hey mate, I just with the current yeah. Then cast 90 degrees to the current and drift along beside it with the boat 👍

Your videos usually appear at midnight here which is perfect for me. Many times I find your "bycatch" is as interesting as your target species. Have you ever gone night fishing for squid underneath the lights?

Glad you enjoy them mate! I have caught squid under lights before but not for a few years! 🍻🍻

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

As much I would love too mate, it does full under the classification of a charter if I did that which I’m not licensed to do. As a result wouldn’t be covered by insurance or anything like that. I am working on a few other options though. Appreciate the support 🍻🍻
