Comparing fishing with bait or lures | Bait vs Lures?

[@JezzaM77]

Great stuff! Lures are great when the fishing are biting like mad. But if I have to cast a lure more than about three times, I'm way too lazy to use them. I like to cast out a bait and sit back and relax. The other problem with lures is that old saying; "Lures are made to catch fishermen." And, if you look in some people's tackle boxes, you can see why... They have hundred's of dollars worth of lures! I don't think circle hooks are designed for lures. Some people flatten the barbs on the hooks, which makes removing the hooks very easy. Keep up the good work!😃

Totally agree about how relaxing bait fishing is 😄. Love it the best

[@lumberjaxe8910]

Haha true about the lures, I get hesitant and worried about using some of my lures, many are a work of art, & sometimes I go through my tackle box's at night admiring the lures still in their packets, and go into a dream state🎣🎣😁.

[@JezzaM77]

I totally agree!@@lumberjaxe8910

[@fishingsister]

@lumberjaxe8910 lol that is funny 🤣. I have yet to discover the joy of lures...sounds addictive!

[@bushmanphotos]

I outfish lure fishermen all the time using bait for kahawai (Aussie Salmon) at rivermouth. If kahawai are schooling then yea lure is faster and easier. Given a choice I'll always choose bait.

[@Martin.B.]

I agree, if the fish are there then lures work fast, but using bait is still my preference. I'm not into walking up and down a beach flicking in lures.

Finally was able to take some time out from work to watch the video! Very very proud Linda! Love this! The trusty silver Halco twisty! You can’t beat it. I agree with Martin on hooks. I change all lures to single hooks and only use lure with trebles when I’m wanting to keep some fish. To answer your question too Martin yes you can absolutely catch two salmon on one lure hook! Been there 😂 Bait fishing ‘work smarter not harder’ Salmon Lure fishing ‘why do I feel like I’ve ran a marathon?!’ Tight lines guys! 🎣

[@fishingsister]

Glad you liked it Kim! I have bought a rod to flick lures now so look forward to trying it out. Shame that we have had to come back to Adelaide for a while...will severely limit my fishing activities 😢

[@josefkapelj3842]

Yes once again Fantastic Video. I'm a bait fisho more relaxing enjoying the moment but at the same time will always carry lures.These days I will catch a feed for the day.nothing better than a fresh fish out the sea and in the pan the same day.😊

[@fishingsister]

Thanks! Glad to hear you like the video 😊. Yes fresh fish is hard to beat!

[@kevinbrian3244]

I reckon they both work fine. If it's quiet mix it up and see what works. Another thing we do bait fishing is bait on the bottom and a $5 popper on the top

[@fishingsister]

Have to try a popper!

[@Stan-at-KangarooIslandTV]

I just suggested that - lol

[@TheBeaker59]

Sometimes bait will catch the fish when theres not many about as its in the zone more of the time but when lures are on they are really on and much more fun. I lure fish more than bait fish these days particularly soft baits which catch everything around here.

[@Martin.B.]

I reckon I could have thown in a boot and caught one that day😂. When they are on the're on!

[@Martin.B.]

Soft baits....there's another experiment😂

[@TheBeaker59]

@@Martin.B. indeed a boot might be a struggle but the best story was my 10 yr old was watching a TV fishing program on making lures He asked if he could make one in my workshop I agreed so off he went a while later he turned up with a lure and asked if he could go fish down at our local beach I agreed so off he went (very close by no roads to cross) so picture this me and my wife are having a lazy Sunday morning lie in eating breakfast in bed when in walks an excited 10yr old with a very alive thrashing Kahawai (salmon) bleeding and dripping salt water hanging off the end of his rod. Wife was not amused!!!!

[@Martin.B.]

@@TheBeaker59 that's a great story...he will remember that forever👍

[@fishingsister]

Wow good on him! And such a sense of achievement I bet 🥰

[@CharlesBrown-q8q]

Your enjoyment of fishing is just a delight. You have to get a new rod? How sad. Thanks for your vids.

[@fishingsister]

Yes I have ordered a rod specifically for flicking lures. Looking forward to trying it out!

[@Martin.B.]

Linda cracks me up when she gets a fish...giggles like a little kid😊

[@fishingsister]

@@Martin.B. the thrill of it never wears off 🥰

[@D.wyles3]

I love your videos and love the eyre peninsula. I’m just wondering what beach you had this amazing session at.

[@fishingsister]

Thanks! We are not experts. We just get out there and give it a go! This was filmed at Back Beach, our local at Streaky Bay. Fantastic place 🤩

[@ravenfeader]

When it comes to salmon if I can see them I throw a lure and if I can't see them I throw a lure.

[@Stan-at-KangarooIslandTV]

I love lure fishing best, for sure. It makes catch and release easier and the challenge makes it more rewarding. That looked to be a Halco lure or similar, which is my go-to lure here on KI for everything from salmon to snook. Wait till you try soft plastics, they are real fun too. You should also try putting a feathered, cork popper on the top dropper of your bait rigs. Works well and means you’re always presenting even if crabs or pickers get your bait. And lastly, great advice on trebles, they are horrible for fish, fishing and unintended human bits and should be avoided.

[@fishingsister]

Looking forward to trying lure fishing for a range of fish. So much to learn!

[@Martin.B.]

Those trebles are very nasty if you are releasing the fish. I was quite surprised how hard they were to get out. Ill try a popper too.👍

[@loftiefleet8104]

i like both,tight lines.

[@adamsrcsandadventure700]

Nice session you both got your arms stretched that day👍 I to love lure fishing for salmon it's the best way wen they are right in front of you. Peace tight lines 🎣

[@fishingsister]

So much fun!

[@Martin.B.]

They were going off that day...had me puffing😂

[@murtazahazara7443]

Pleased tell me which beach is ?

[@fishingsister]

Please refer to our Back Beach video...it has a map etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6fUhZmNnLJ4h6M

[@anniefisho]

I see a Martin doesn’t like to get his feet wet! What do you wear on your feet Linda?

[@fishingsister]

Hi Annie I wear Adrenaline brand. Can't remember the type but they are made of a material similar to a wetsuit. My feet are warm even when wet!

[@Martin.B.]

You can't see it but there is a big dtop off and I was being lazy thinking I could get away with not changing boots😂....I have the same Adrenaline boots as Linda and should have put them on 👍

[@geoffhunt6439]

Another very interesting video and thank you for explaining/showing your rods and rig set ups. Any excuse to buy a new fishing rod 😂

[@fishingsister]

Thanks! Yes I am really looking forward to trying out my new rod 😄
