Fishing DEEP! | Dropping down baits for tasty rewards

Ahoy Fisho's! This week I head out fishing Deep with mates Shauno and Ashton, dropping down baits for some tasty rewards! Our plan was to use both electric and manual reels to fish between 250m and 300m deep out from the Gold Coast. Although upon arrive it seems like the current was running hard making the fishing very difficult. We were going to have to earn our fillets this trip!!
Hope you enjoy the video!

Here in the USA we call y'all flame tail a Queen snapper

[@knetikx1948]

Our queen snapper is a blue morwong in Australia how crazy

Well there you go!! Awesome fish no matter where you you catch them 👌👌🍻🍻

[@lovefishncookn14]

It’s always a good time when Sammy and Shauno are fishing together. The banter just cracks me up. 🤣👍😎🍺🍺 and some quality fish too

[@thewoodboystv]

Love the big deep bait drops

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Haha me too! Wish I could have done more this year!! 😭😭

Love the Maccas tray for a cutting board - I expect nothing less from Shauno.

[@downunderfulla6001]

Hahaha I thought I was the only one that seen it🍺

[@Mark-ux7yh]

Yeah buddy, always love when you guys swing out wide n deep

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Haha cheers mate! 🍻🍻

[@jonobird11]

Making me sea sick just watching haha love that swell. Good video boys!

[@JillyBean70]

Love a good episode when ya team up with Shauno ♥♥.....coming home with fish is always a bonus ♥♥

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching 🍻🍻

[@fishhunt9874]

Good on you young man for hand cranking that deep water. I picked up a couple Daiwa Tanacom electrics for doing the deep drop. Limited by regulations in California to two hooks and a maximum of 4lbs of weight. 61 yrs young so let the electric do all the repetitious heavy work

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah mate bloody oath, you’ve done your time let the reel do the work 💪💪

[@fishhunt9874]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing And because of you I named my rod holder “Rodney”. When I get a hook up trolling or drifting with a rod in the holder I call out “Rodney is hooked up!” My old boot camp buddy and fishing partner gets a kick out of it 🤙🏼

Gotta love the deep drop vids

[@claycor5990]

Another ripper video! Always look forward to these Sunday arvo uploads 😃

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks for tuning in mate! Appreciate it 🍻🍻

[@cjod33]

First time i saw one of those was about 80 k off shore of NWA when i was commercial wetlining about twenty years ago. It was at 3am, about 8 inches long and swimming on the surface. It looked like a long tailed gold fish. I was pretty stoned and when i got the other decky to look it was gone. For a long time i though id imagined it. Then we started catching them amongs the Rubys.

[@terrytailor]

Haha, good stuff and good banter for a tough day out wide. A bit late in the season for the current? Out that deep is always an adventure. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@victorbitter583]

Jeez Shaun went a bit quiet there as the flamies were coming into the boat and all he was getting was ornates. Funny stuff. I spose you did have to give him a few. It is his boat afterall and you'd hate to risk being struck off the list lol. cheers Sammy.

Awesome boys love the deep drop episodes, would love to see another sword mission again hopefully you end up snagging one

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah swords are definitely on the bucket list!!

[@stevenhart9004]

Very colorful mixed bag. I think i got a little youtube sickness from that boat rocking though.

[@chrislawes7760]

Actually got a bit sea sick just watching the first 30 seconds, great work guys enjoyable video,!

Hahah yeah it was rocking and rolling a bit that’s for sure! Calmed out nicely thank goodness 🍻🍻

It's still really weird seeing Shauno in these.. I'm so used to him not catching anything in freshwater on the 4WD-24/7 videos.. :D

[@andrewrollins4898]

Three knots in 6,643 feet of water? That's insane. Even fishing 600 meters with heavy lines that you fellas are using must have been difficult to fish. I'd use .08PE with a three-meter shock leader of 40# fluorocarbon to cut the current and raise the fish from those conditions.

[@malmissingham6033]

Sammy /Shauno, another great episode - thanks. I couldn't work out the business end of the deep drop rig plz? 3 way swivels? light? hooks? sinker(s)?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

G’day Mal, Yeah just a 4 hook patternoster made on 3 way swivels. Shauno used a light, I didnt. Hooks are generally 6/0-8/0’s circles and a gang hook on the top 👍

[@malmissingham6033]

thanks Sammy, really appreciate your effort to respond in that detail. Mal

That under current was crazy

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah it was pretty unpleasant! Made the fishing hard that’s for sure!

[@lauribrown7407]

Go team!! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@AnthonyNelson-gy3vr]

Never disappointed waking up to Sammy on Sunday. Great work boys! Just wondering Sammy!!! Do the jerseys on your site have the thumb hole on the sleeve as well? Much like your jersey on this video? No worries about it, just curious.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks very much for watching! Yes the jerseys have the thumb holes as well, really handing to help keep the sun off your hands! 👌👌

[@MickH60]

Do Ornates eat as well as Greens and Rosie's ?

[@jturnbu2]

Lol...the way Mojo rolls 😂 Can't Shauno get a Seakeeper endorsement???

Hahah it’s not that bad. Maybe in the future though 😂😂

Shauno throwing you around the boat like he’s driving up the glasshouse track with that side swell.
