Bev Groomes thanks

[@billyschitz4116]

I would love to see some more Rockwall fishing videos and maybe a catch n cook

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Absolutely, hoping to grow into the catch and cook videos over the coming months.

[@billyschitz4116]

I am personally situated on the Sunshine Coast, so it's great to have someone to gain knowledge from such as you around similar areas that I fish. Also I love your Google Earth videos where you talk about spots

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

most welcome, have just about exhausted the Redcliffe area now. I intend to spend a fair bit more time between Bribie and Noosa.

[@CalaisRider]

Hey Wayne. You produce some great fishing stuff and I have watched almost all. Thanks for taking the time and posting. My main thing is that I haven't seen one of those Alvey Bakelite Tackle boxes since when I was a youngin first starting out fishing about 50 years ago. I may have it wrong and its a new version of the original. Your new camera and HD is awesome compared to early days

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Peter Chatman not at all. I have 4 of them. All old originals.

[@m98bravo4]

@@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing I was wondering what they were. Great work Wayne

[@sybmundy6223]

Thanks for sharing

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

All good. Thanks for watching.

[@jamieschumacher7989]

Thanks Wayne. Always wondered why some use a ball or barrel sinker. Gonna try your rig out today after getting my young daughter hooked up for her 1st ever flatty. Cheers

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Nothing beats your kids first flatty. Awesome

[@jayblance7256]

Saved some grey hairs with the barrel sinker tip. Cheers mate

[@baileylawrence3444]

Could you do a video on jetty fishing

[@TheTacoman999]

hey wayne if you could do a video on your wading gear id love to have a look, if you could also make a video going in depth on how to fish specifically at hayes inlet on low tide, tried it myself and had no luck, thanks anyways, tight lines friend

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

That’s definitely doable. I’ll weight until the cooler months.

[@MrJaynotts123]

Great videos! Would love to go for a fish with ya

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

james hall thanks James. Have a great Christmas

[@franksaunders6534]

Great tip with the barrel sinkers! Would love to know where I can get one of those round tackle boxes - would be great for the mobile style of rock fishing I do. Happy to order from Queensland and have it shipped to NSW.

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Mark at Tackle Land Sandgate.

[@franksaunders6534]

@@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing Cheers, mate.

[@patrickfuller7012]

Wayne, love your videos mate, great work. What's your opinion on best places to take kid to chase a flattie around April/May? My young bloke is a bream legend but still trying to get his first flathead. I like the banks at Hays Inlet but the mud and soldier crabs make it a bit of a trial for the little bloke. Any suggestions for kid friendly spots good for flathead time time of year?

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Patrick Fuller bottom half of the tide at Shorncliffe east of Baxter’s jetty. Or flats at Hays Inlet on the bottom 4 hours of the tide. Park in Haysmouth prd.

[@williamatta3279]

Awesome video Land And Bay Fishing what size hooks would you use for the 3 gang hooks Flathead rig ? And Land And Bay Fishing would you use the 3 gang hook rig for Flathead on Pilchard Land And Bay Fishing ? Thanks for the videos Land And Bay Fishing !! I would really appreciate it if you could answer my questions about Flathead Fishing Land And Bay Fishing ? Cheers William !!

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

William Atta I like the 1/0 or 2/0 truturns with a swivel separating them. If you just want to use the mustad gang hooks the 3/0 is fine

[@matthewsteel7585]

Great video. Did you say you salted the mullet down first?

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Most of the time I buy the mullet fillet already salted.

[@JT-vm5ww]

i used 6lb fluro with my daiwa double clutch and sugapen 95mm and i dont struggle with 60cm+ fish, but i do have to retie after every 40cm fish. just something i though i should say not trying to sound like a jerk

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Agree I also use 6lb with lures as well, they swim a lot better.

[@williamatta3279]

Awesome video Fish Harder would you recommend all this gear used in the video for Beginners for Flathead Fishing to me ? And also Fish Harder what Baits would you use for Flathead ? And also Fish Harder What lb line would you use for Flathead Fishing Fish Harder ? I really appreciate if you answer my questions Fish Harder because it helps me get better at Fishing Fish Harder ? Cheers William !!

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Keep it simple William, Your mono line you mentioned in another comment will be fine, single hook with a short trace and sinker to match the current and conditions.

[@DoomiePookie]

Hi wayne when you fish for flatties or bream what pound is your main line on your reel usually? Do you think 8 pound braid for main line is a good all rounder for bream and flatties around Redcliffe etc? Cheers mate.

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

to heavy. 5 or 6 lb main line. change the trace/leader to suit. 4 lb for bream and between 8 and 14 for flatty depending on lure and weather etc.

[@rorygollan9307]

Would squid be a substitute for mullet strips because it also stays on the hook for ages?

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

red snapper99 will work. Especially in the winter time as the squid are prolific in our estuary systems. Won’t work as well in the summer.

[@nolixss694]

Mate if I were using live poddy mullet, would it be better to have sinker down to hook or sinker down to swivel?

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

To a swivel if you want the live bait to move easy.

[@lachlansmith3620]

Love these videos , what hooks were you using?

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

They were True Turns

[@wadewhitwell1140]

how do you get the swivel to go into the eye of the hook? Thanks

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

I buy them made up. Tackle Land.

[@zgr5]

Can you please tell me where did you take this video, and what kind of fish can be caught there? Cheers

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

That location is Shorncliffe on the North side of Brisbane. If you look at Sinbad St, Shorncliffe you will find the water way behind me. Cabbage tree creek.

[@maldrury8313]

How do you place the swivel between the hooks? Thanks

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Mal Drury I don’t replace. Just make new ones

[@thedon9670]

@@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing I think he means "place" ie how do you put them there. I was wondering this too. Cheers

[@nolixss694]

And I’ve found that when I’m drifting or winding the poddy mueller in, the leader wraps around the braid, do you know how to combat this?

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Difficult to answer this one without knowing all the details. Could start by changing the length of your leader.

[@nolixss694]

@@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing longer or shorter?

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Not sure of the length you are currently using. But shorter is my guess.

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Bachtiar Tjia glad you enjoyed.

[@kfc6495]

anything that is too technical is useless too survival, meaning a kid could catch a flat head on a single knot with a lure face palm

[@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing]

Fair enough
