Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

I don't know how this man only has 13.8K subs. He deserves every single one of them. Great vids mate keep it up.

If Josh maintains the quality, and persists, he'll be an overnight sensation by the end of the year. Every video is a Gem.

I’ve been begging for a rock fishing video and my prayers have been answered! Also btw the little fish at the start was a yellow tail scad/ Yakka

[@hiltonmccowage9436]

Metal blades and whole pilchards will catch you salmon at night. I have often caught salmon south coast NSW at midnight. Another excellent video.

[@joshdfishing]

Interesting. I’ve just never come across them at night. Thanks Hilton mate

[@johnrickards1908]

Hi Josh, I don't know how to tell you this without pissing you off but, my wife kept asking me who this kid was that I kept watching so, I showed her. She actually enjoyed the video but thought you were probably a 12yr old girl! I told her, "This lad is probably a better fisherMAN than I ever could have been!!!" 83yrs old and still going strong. Keep it up son, my absolute favourite angling channel👍

[@joshdfishing]

Ohh my. A 12 year old GIRL😭 that’s harsh😅 Cheers for viewing John. Glad your enjoying the vids

Sorry about that Josh but she also thinks I'm a slob but, in reality, I'm an Adonis! Keep up the good work, we're all loving it.

[@Mark-ew5jm]

Aside from the excellent production of your videos Josh, the variety of locations and fishing techniques is so impressive. Freshwater creeks, beach, headlands and estuary, there is something for everyone. Another great video Josh, keep up the great work. I believe the Sargent Baker taste OK yet are extremely bony. Many years ago Josh, I would use barrel sinker of approximately 3/4 oz painted white which I ran straight on the line to a treble hook. This set up was good for salmon, tailor and bonito. I tend to also catch more salmon during the day and tend to catch tailor into the evening.

[@joshdfishing]

Thanks a bunch mark. I’ve been doing a lot of lake stuff so I thought a rock vid would be good for a change👌🏼

Hi Josh. It’s me again. Thank you for suggesting that lure because I caught heaps on it! Bream Bream and more Bream! I also tried. A Daiwa baitjunkie 3inch minnow and caught stuff on that.( btw you should have a qld trip come up to Fraser coast which is where I live:) See you in the next one josh!

The biggest salmon or tailor you will ever get is if there is a high tide a couple of hours after dark fishing a paternoster rig with a pilly on ganged 4/0 or 5/0 hooks of the beach if there is a good gutter.

Great video something different,good practice when rock fishing is to wear a life jacket just in case moments,specially when going alone,keep up the videos,try luderick fishing next time you might enjoy it.

[@i_am_mcsee]

Nice spot for a feed for sure. A Snapper is the best fish you can get land based and it certainly looks like a great ledge for them. Think seriously about an inflatable life jacket, just in case you do go in.

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah I’ve got an inflatable life jacket. It just wasn’t necessary to wear on this day as it was very flat and I could easier swim up onto that ledge🤙🏼 I’m not saying to not wear a life jacket at all. And I’d usually fish this spot with a mate. Only fished it solo cause it was small seas

[@tommiestrydom973]

The best way to cook a sgt baker is too cook it in boiling water with a rock.. When the rock goes soft, throw the fish away and eat the rock.

[@archiemaitland8639]

Hey josh great vid mate, if you are short on fishing spots or want to try something new, I would recommend cullendulla creek nature reserve up just short of Batemans bay, I can confidently say it is rare you won’t get on to a bream or a flathead there, cheers

From time to time but not often as we don’t eat much fish

[@grantjones4038]

I have not been able to get out fishing for around two months. Living in the Northern Rivers region is a bit hard for fishing right now with the floods and damaged roads. I have seen along the coast a lot of dead fish washed up and the dirty water is going well out to sea in places. Bit of a mess here. I'll get back out there one of these days. I'm glad to see your vids Josh, I can certainly sympathise with your need to do other things as well, just know that you put a vid up, I'll watch it.

[@joshdfishing]

That’s rough man. I hope all is well and you can get out for a fish ASAP!

Haha a couple people actually noticed that which is very surprising😅 I’ve been fishing this combo for a month and a bit now and I’ve caught a lot of fish on it. Just never filmed so deceived on this day I would👍🏼

[@JohnGoodwin79]

Great clips as always mate. A little heads up if you ever forget the super glue, simply pull your plastic up over the eye off the jughead hook about 5mm and rub your thumb on the plastic till it breaks through and it will never slip off. Keep the vids coming mate 🙌🙌

[@dono3663]

Awesome vid man. If that's the spot I think it is that's the flattest I've seen it. Can get pretty hairy

[@MitchellNabkey]

Im new to rock / breakwall fishing. When I lift the fish out of the water my line snaps if its a decent fish. Is it larger capcity leader needed or bigger swivels better? Stronger main line? Usually run 10pound braid as line and a 10-20pound leader.

[@ynots0625]

Great vid as always, hows the weight on that combo? Tiring after an arvo of casting? Pro tip on those white bait junkies, get a pack of sharpies (green/highlighter yellow) and you got yourself a chartreuse belly camo plastic 💪🏾

Thanks mate, and the weight is fine after a days of casting. I’m just a twig so I make it look heavy but it’s perfect👌🏼 and thanks for the tips bro I might try it out

A pleasant surprise to have another Josh D upload so soon, mate. Aussie Salmon always go hard, but I have never tried eating one. You are supposed to bleed them ASAP and remove the skin & red 'muscle' meat. Does anyone know a recipe for making them into fish cakes/patties that taste good? With Flatso tails @ $50/kg at my local fisho, I am open to new ideas.

[@joshdfishing]

Haha thought I’d pop one up early. Also I’ve kept salmon a number of times and they go really well in fish cakes. You do need to bleed them straight away. And some of the ingredients we use in our fish cakes are. Thai green curry paste and the brand is maesri. Mix sweet chilli sauce in with it and make sure to add some onion. Let me know if you try it and what you think. It’s delicious😋

Hi Josh Mate I have only started watching your videos and probably one of your older subscribers but what I like about them is that you’re a genuine young guy, fresh and quite honest and open about what you do and don’t know and aren’t trying to be anyone else. Keep that originality and genuineness in your channel and the subscribers will just keep coming. Your tackle walk through was simple but again genuine and excellent and teaches start up fisherman you don’t need 100 rods and reels, just a Smart Selection and try and buy quality if you can afford it. What would also be excellent for a lot of people would be a vid on how you got into filming and posting your vids and how KZbin works for you and others just getting started out, how you select your ads, what levels you need to get to to start getting remunerated etc …: I saw this on a 4wd channel just recently and his subscribers really loved understanding how he started and how you tube works once you start getting a following.
