Flathead, Tailor & Bream Mixed Bag - Fishing Hays Inlet, Clontarf in Redcliffe

A cracker of an afternoon down at Hays Inlet, Clontarf in Redcliffe. The lure of choice is the trusty Zman 3" Slim Swimz in motoroil colour. Similar colours and profile to a small whiting, I've had some great sessions with this lure in the past. Hopefully the flatties and bream are firing this afternoon. The tide is currently going out and the wind is blowing over our shoulder. These are ideal conditions - So lets get straight into it and start flickng!

Nice one mate!!! My name's Mitch, met you couple months ago down at decker park fishing. Finally off the donut, gonna have to try there once the weather clears. Always watching out for your content. Keep it up!

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Mitch, how long ago? I can't remember sorry! But thanks for saying g'day 😊 Yeah mate, so good to land some good fish and get a video out! Give it a go! Good luck and let me know how you go! Cheers mate 👍

[@jordancama4961]

Hey Jason what tides do you reckon work best for trevs, bream and flatty at Hayes inlet? Do they all bite on the same rising/falling/slack tide or do they all have different preferences ?

[@beery52]

hi jason thanks for taking me back in time i have fished there back in the 1960s we used to use bait i think plastics are the best though i might get the fishing gear out and have a go i will fish around newcastle nelson bay area ps look up sticky fishing on youtube

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Rob, great to hear from you! Thanks for coming back to watch 😊

[@MinhNguyen-yd7dn]

Im a big fan mate learn to lure for 3 years now but still have not catching anyfish yet after watched your video I went to buy 8 double clutch lure and try at Brighton today but still nothing hoping to see you around 1 say for a lesson :)

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, keep trying! I get alot of donut sessions. Lures are alot challenging to catch fish on compared to bait. But that's the fun of it! Good luck and tight lines! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@lincolnjames4646]

what knot do you use to tie the braid to mono

[@troyhearn8642]

Nice bro

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Troy, thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@John-nf4tb]

Hi Jason made the trek from Toowoomba yesterday, got there bottom of the tide, and it started to run in, absolute zilch fish in an hr, then run in tide beat me. So probably better to go while tide running out, perhaps two hrs before bottom? As your local when the tides right in can you fish the edge of where you enter the water at hays Inlet. Went to woody point jetty and some rocks along the foreshore, returned to toowoomba with a donut, cheers John

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey John, unlucky mate. Hope you had a good day nonetheless. Good luck and tight lines for next fishing trip! Thanks for leaving a comment 😊

[@knotagainfishing2147]

I’ve been cleaning up on tailor on the yak at hays the last few weeks

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, they are good fighting ayy. Even better tasting! Need to catch more! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@Jack-zd6dn]

Great video, say keeping a fish for a feed or future bait, how would you go about storing your catch when fishing on flats or wading? Would a plastic bag be enough until I returned to the car and put it on ice?

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Jack mate, Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍 Yeah mate, I use a alvey wading bag and put the fish inside a plastic bag. The fish is not in direct sunlight so it'll be okay for the rest of the fishing session (2-3 hours) and till I get home and clean them. Hope this helps 😊

[@Jack-zd6dn]

@@ImJasonFish Cheers mate and special thanks for leaving gear and showing off spots around the peninsula it's very enjoyable.

[@thekidfisho8181]

Hey there great video, I have never caught a fish on a lure before and I know where that spot is just wondering how long it took for you to catch your first fish. Great video overall though, keep it up

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, lure fishing is a whole different ball game. Usually it's all donut sessions. You just have to be lucky the fish are feeding and firing. Persistence also helps haha, as you need a whole lot of that! I actually had a strike on my first/second cast and landed the first flatty a couple cats later. I was very lucky the fish were firing as past trips to the exact same spot were fruitless or the occasional little fish. Hope this help. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@xrblits8624]

Hey Jason just wondering what set up are you using rod reel and braid

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, all my setups are in each video description below. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@anthonymurphy2754]

Hi mate great vids What’s your preferred knot on hard bodies

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Anthony, I would recommend using a loop knot to tie your leader to the lure. However remove the split ring as I have cast my lure off from it slipping through the split ring. Hope this helps - thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@brendanryan7767]

You beauty!

[@ImJasonFish]

Brendan! Thanks for coming back to watch. Cheers for leaving a comment. Catch up soon! 👍

[@getzboost5666]

What sunnies are they mate?

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, they are Stingray Sunnies from BCF. They are like the mid range for sunnies. A lot better quality then the cheap ones and good value compared to the expensive ones. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@lukethirgood6509]

What is the best direction for the wind to be blowing to fish there?

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Luke, a northerly wind blowing over your shoulder is the best wind direction in this spot. Hope this helps! 👍

[@lukethirgood6509]

Thank you for the info. Keep the good videos coming!

[@thedon9670]

What time were you fishing? Some nice catches :)

Hey mate, sure did. Was a great feed for dinner! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

was this on Saturday?

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Kyle, you're spot on mate. I went to Margate Beach in the morning but was pretty quiet. But so good they were firing on the afternoon. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

What rod do you have mate and reel

Heya mate how do you get to hayes inlet

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Raymond, you can access Hays Inlet via Haysmouth Parade in Clontarf. Good luck - let me know how you go! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 😊

[@bradbergstrum6371]

Hi Jason looking at buying your rod, are they stiff or flexible, where would I get one. Thanks Brad

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Brad mate, they are a stiffer carbon rod compared with my older Pflueger rod which was flexible and floppy, but both the same length and kg rating - Check out my older fishing videos to see it in action! But in short I love my rod, the stiffer action is great for setting hooks, but flexible to have a nice bend when loaded up with a descent fish such as a 1.2m shovelnose which handled it with ease - check out that video. The NS Amped 2 rods comes with fuji eyelets which are smooth and the best. Great light and ergonomic rod all round for hours and hours of casting. You can get them at tackle shops instore and online - have a quick google "NS Amped 2 Rods". I have a Light and Extra Heavy one. If you have anymore questions, let me know! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍

[@bradbergstrum6371]

Thanks Jason is there any chance I could have the model number off the rod, is it S702L Bream?. Many Thanks
