Yesterday morning I went up to Brighton and between 7am and 7.30am caught 4 good size Bream / Tarwhine. They were going nuts. Within 30 secs of first cast hooked up /but under sized). Then 4 keepers in half an hour. Glorious weather and dead calm.

[@therealslimsht4522]

Was it high tide? I went there last Sat, spend 3 hours but got nothing...

[@ImJasonFish]

That's awesome to hear mate. The Brighton groynes is a great spot. What lure were you using? Cheers for coming back to watch and leaving a comment 👍

[@thedon9670]

High tide was 8am. Fished 1.5 hours either side. I took the kids and used prawns with circle hooks ftw 👍

[@33454262]

Lots of fun Jason. Thanks for the vid.

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Warren mate, glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@TabChappy]

Love how you go though and explain everything you are doing, another great video mate! Only started fishing a few months ago, but your vids have helped heaps, especially being from the same area. Keep up the great work!

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. If you spot me around, make sure you come and say g'day - I'm always up for a chat 👍

[@rols4567]

Great vid mate i like your relaxed style...keep on flickin!

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Andy, glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching and tight lines 👍

[@justinadams5159]

I’ve realised the two main reasons I keep coming back to yr videos 1. The locations Hay’s Inlet, Clontarf, Nudgee Beach these and there are others are all really good fishing spots, spots I’d like to fish 2. All action played out in land based scenarios. As I’m a land based fisherman myself this appeals to me. Keep em coming Jason.

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Justin, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Very happy you enjoy and get some something out of them. Sorry for the lack of videos lately; weather, full-time work and other commitments have not been playing nice 😭

Hey Rob, thanks for coming back to watch. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers 😊

Great vid

[@4wdhuntfishin]

Love it mate. Awesome job as usual. Hopefully next time there will be some bigger ones.

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, thanks for watching. It was great fun, so I couldn't ask for more 😊

[@himderfella]

Nice to see you with your feet wet & a fish on the end of your line. I haven't caught a decent Flathead since 24th April. I haven't even caught a Flathead since then. Small Bream, chopper Tailor, Whiting have been my catches. The only standout was a Turtle that dropped the bait near the Kayak. It was unharmed. Thanks for sharing.

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, thanks for coming back to watch and leaving a comment. Hey! Catching fish is better than donut sessions! But those turtles pull hard I tell you! 😂 Keep flicking and tight lines mate, cheers 👍

Awesome bro

[@ImJasonFish]

Mika! How's the fishing over in Singapore? Hope you been well. Thanks for watching 😊

[@Jack-zd6dn]

Nice vid, I switched to baitjunkies about 1 month ago from zman and whether it is luck or the lure I have caught so many more fish on the baitjunkies! I love em

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Jack, They are a good lure - I like the bait junkie profile, but nothing compares with the durability of the Zman. It sucks how expensive soft plastic lures are getting nowadays haha. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍

[@serenasullivan8563]

Well done Jason keep them coming love the daiwa baitjunkies drop at least a 80 cm flathead on Saturday 😡😡

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Serena, bugger!! How did the flaty bust you off? Leader failure, hook fell off? Thanks for watching 😊

[@serenasullivan8563]

@@ImJasonFish a pelican was trying to eat it when I had it up on the sand so I was fighting a pelican as well as the fish

[@ImJasonFish]

Now that's a great story 🤣🤣

im going there this saturday

[@jpsnoopy12]

Got my pb at this spot today great spot

[@Starre8888]

Surprised you got a few in that spot at that time of day. As soon as the light comes up, the imbeciles on jet skis and in speed boats turn it into a noisy wave pool as you noticed. Love your vids though mate especially on a stormy day like today when I can't get out and wet a line myself

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Chris, you're right! I tend to avoid this spot during the weekend. But glad I gave it a crack. Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@pandafishing3320]

I saw a ghost when I was fishing that small jetty couple yrs ago

[@kimbo5409]

I usually go fishing around Shorncliffe pier because there is a wide variety of different spots you can fish. Would you suggest any other places near there?

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, there's plenty of good land-based spots around the area. Check out my videos for some spots. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@pa1264]

Great video what type of rod and reel combo do you have?

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, all my gear setups for each video are in the description below. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@domsnzadventure6734]

How do you find the rod mate? I know it's a cheap rod but it looks good. Can you call it a Bang for your buck? Would you recommend it?

[@overlogins]

Is this Hays Inlet?

[@josephmatthews3994]

what line are you using mate?

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, my fishing gear setups are all in my video description below. The line I am using is Shimano powerpro braid and Ocean fluorocarbon leader, both in 10lb. I've tried plenty other lines, but I found this to be the best for me. Cheers for watching and leaving a comment 👍

[@deswa69]

Nice fishing even if they were all on the small side

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, was a great afternoon session. The conditions were beautiful and the fish were firing. Can't get better. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@richowilson38]

Dude. You need to tighten your drag up a bit. Flathead have a bony upper mouth. You missed those first fish because of either of these 2 things. 1 your plasti was sitting sideways on the bottom ( not floating plastic) . 2 you didn't drive the hook in hard enough. Chat to me for more info if your keen to know more. Nice video though. 👍

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, thanks for the tips and leaving a comment 👍
