First Time Slide Bait Fishing with BIG Live Baits

My first attempt at slide baiting with live bait proved to be a very successful technique! I couldn't catch live baits quick enough to keep up with the strikes which isn't a bad problem to have... great way to fish windy conditions and I think as I get more practice it will produce some cracker fish!
Cheers to ‪@zoolookfishing‬ ‪@TheASFN‬ for your KZbin videos guys they have been a wealth of knowledge and have definitely sparked the urge to try more shore based fishing!
Hope you enjoy this one guys :-). If you have any questions feel free to drop them below 👇
Gear used:
Reels ~ Penn Spinfisher, Penn Fathom Star Drag, Penn Authority
Rods ~ Penn Prevail II, Penn Allegiance, Penn Slammer
Braid ~ Berkley 9x

Really cool technique Mate, just another reason you're an Icon among Legends!!! Man are those little Blacktips ever energetic, no relaxing whatsoever with those puppies!!! What kind of Summer have you been having down there, Brett? We're headed to -31C tonight and by Friday it'll be -42C. I'm not complaining, the better the lakes freeze over, the less stress about hitting thin or soft ice and going through. That's a spooky feeling, I can tell you. When I was a teen, my mate and I used to race across a little lake not far from our acreages on our Snowmobiles. One Winter when we were in grade 10 we came screaming across the lake our sleds, which topped out at about 70mph (110km/hr) little 340cc two strokes. Anyway when we made it to the opposite shore we looked back and for the last 1/3rd of a Km where we drove, our tracks had broken through and it was open water. At the deepest that lake is about 50ft, so if we had lost a machine we'd have been hooped, not to mention chilly!! You said this slip style fishing is big in South Africa huh. I'll have to look for that, it's pretty cool!! I hope you and Tal (+1) had a Wonderful Christmas!! And that 2024 is a Stellar year for You and your Family, Mate!! Take care, and Love to You Two (and a bit!) and the Pups!! - Dave

heyyyyy mate!! Good to see you in the comments section :-). We've had a very wet and windy summer so far and looks to continue that way for the foreseeable future the way things are going haha still bloody hot though!! Wow that's a crazy story on the snow mobiles !! Lucky you were racing and not just casually cruising along or things could have gone a bit south hey!! Yess check out a channel called "zoo look fishing" he's based in SA and a wealth of knowledge and catches epic fish! All is good here the boss lady is plodding around and we are renovating the baby room in time for the big day so plenty to keep us busy between work and play haha Sending good vibes from Aus mate take care and keep smiling :-)

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

[@lifeonthebay2974]

Cool episode. Good to see some beach fishing in the mix. 🤙🏼

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

More to come! ;-)

[@BraxRobbo9]

Man that was total chaos when you caught both of those sharks. Also good video.

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

Cheers mate! Yes got a bit crazy there haha all happening at once ! 😂😂

[@fishingdiariesbyjunzrae]

Epic video legend 😎 slide fishing is extremely popular here in in south africa especially for getting out those bigger baits . Althought in recent years grinder fishing has taken over . Keep the vidz comin 😎

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

Cheers mate! Just es I’ve seen that the grinders (spinning reels here in aus) have made a big comeback! I actually just acquired a Penn international 16visx that I am going to designate for my slide baiting over the spin setup. I thank that Penn spinfisher will get a fresh spool of braid and become a casting setup 👌

[@onemoredriftcoastaladventu4171]

cool video bro, I know what you're really chasing and it's gonna be epic ...good luck ! might want to fish a bit heavier for bait.... you know what will happen, it will come out of nowhere and take a dart at your feet on a whiting rig lol

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

hahahaha that would happen for sure lol would be epic to see though lol

[@leecoates6524]

Awsome video mate 👌

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

Thanks legend! 👍

[@roypowell3450]

Super episode more of these please. Are those sharks good to eat, we did see shark for sale in WA...but hmm!

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

Thanks :-) I have a new found love for beach fishing after this trip so will be a few more episode like this coming up :-). I'd assume they would be ok I don't like the taste of shark personally be I'd say they'd be fine at that size if you like the flavour :-)

[@roypowell3450]

Thank you mate for all that. We like beach fishing over here, the only difference is that you catch fish..🤔Shark we wont bother with!👍@@CoastalChaosAdventures

[@westcoastferral9242]

Might have to give that a crack myself on snapper

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

Would work a treat mate!

[@dylanrolton5401]

What knot did you do for the 45lb topshot to the 80lb leader

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

Hey mate for mono to mono I use a nail knot as it seems to get through the guides well without being too chunky… after that trial run I think I may run heavier mono for the sliding which will eliminate the need for a leader. Bit of trial and error haha

[@dylanrolton5401]

@@CoastalChaosAdventures ye cheers and awesome vid keep it up would definitely like to see more like this 👌

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

Thanks mate appreciate that :-) Next one is off the beach too but a pretty special capture!! Should be a good one for you :-)@@dylanrolton5401
