Hey maté massive fan ran into at the bridge a few weeks back new to Jew fishing last night I tried this rig and what a success 3 baits 3 Jew only soapys but the big one will come cheers legend

[@aussfish9995]

Got them on the popper rig mate

[@jarredmarko4951]

@jarredmarko4951 Awesome work mate I always have 4 rods out two with popper rigs I’ve caught some good fish on them take another year of fishing to make up my mind if they make a difference. They work best I think when the tide is running hard tight lines Dave

[@GarryWestwood-uv6ob]

Just awesome Dave very enjoyable and educational i don’t fish out of a boat but great to gain your information thanks .

[@aussfish9995]

Thanks Garry

[@trevorbennett2178]

Another good video mate. Very informative and i like your thoughts and your reasoning about your rigs. Just a thought, rather than cable ties, maybe try a short piece of 12 or 13 gauge copper or brass wire. Thread the fish the same way and do 3 or 4 twists of the wire, then lay it flat along the fish. Wire can be used a few times as well. Just a thought. Cheers 👍

[@aussfish9995]

Good idea

Nice rig Dave & good to see mono on the bigger rigs. Mono is stronger & more abrasive resistant than fluorocarbon by a fair amount for the same breaking strain.

Pumping out the videos dave always a good watch even though i dont bait fish 😂

[@aussfish9995]

I do like my bait fishing just trying to be consistent see how they effects the subscription rate 😂😂👍

Hi Dave Enjoy your episodes we like to lure fish I think it our AĎD. Always found you informative and down to earth. If possible would prefer to see you use something less disposable than zip ties, gamefishing we've use biodegradable rubber bands. Keep up good work 👌

[@aussfish9995]

Good tip mate

[@bradtownsend6306]

Nice video Dave, I'm a big fan and look forward to your fishing videos. I've been watching a few videos from Mat Watson NZ Ultimate fishing - when he snells a hook onto the trace he tries to get the natural curl of the nono to align in the direction of circle of the hook. I'm a bit undecided on your popper rig but following with interest.

[@aussfish9995]

Mine are the same when I tie the circle hook it follows the natural curl of the line awesome hook up rate I’m still undecided on the popper rig but it hits good fish

[@johnloudon2396]

Great content,Merry Christmas Dave,Lets get some.💪💪💪💪💪

[@aussfish9995]

Merry Christmas John

[@davidlord8573]

Always good Dave love ya vids

[@GippyFisher]

Really informative vid Dave. Are you able to do a tutorial attaching the yakka via the cable tie to the hook?

[@aussfish9995]

My previous video has a good demo mate

[@GippyFisher]

@@aussfish9995 I'll have a squizz, thanks Dave 👍

[@saint722]

nice video Dave, just wondering what Cam do you use to record your videos

[@aussfish9995]

Go pro hero 8

[@chaddad2370]

Lovin the vids Dave. I just got to find time to get out and chase them. Have you thought of instead of tying the popper on, utilising a rubber stopper ( similar to blackfish rig), therefore could adjust distances on leader with the popper, and eliminates another 2 knots where the knots could fail?? Chad

[@aussfish9995]

I had not thought about that Chad 👍

[@JasonSmith-nu9yl]

Been following your popper experiment with interest Dave and you are constantly catching on it seems to be working well,I was wondering do you think the popper ever gets hit instead of the yakka if you get a bit of a run but don’t hook up?

[@aussfish9995]

I’m not sure mate maybe I’ll have to really monitor that on my two popper rods definitely food for thought

[@mrsbradpittiful]

The local boys are gonna be filthy with you! First you reveal their super secret spot under the bridge now your giving away their secret rigs

[@aussfish9995]

😂😂😂 Well I have been using that super secret rig since I was 13 everybody I grew up with used that rig every break wall warrior used that rig and every guy in a boat I fished with used that rig chasing Jewfish. Worst kept secret in history. The Bridge guys have been fishing that since it was opened in 1971. A little side not I walked over it with my class mates on that opening day when I was eight. Worst kept secrets in history 😂😂😂👍

[@thefishermansfriend7153]

And after all these years and a useless rig you still can't catch fish for sh#t😅.. your unreal ay .. wake up to yourself Jerry

[@EliasB-ye3bp]

Have you got any good land based spots to fish the hardour ,im going tonight at carrigton

[@Jason-rs6co]

dave theres nothing wrong with taking fish. common sense prevails

[@aussfish9995]

No that’s true Jason my wife and I love to eat fish. I’ve killed more fish in my time than I care to even think about. Back in the day we just gaffed the Jewfish and layed them out on the deck. We would keep 4 and 5 big fish at a time I’m not sure why that’s just what you did 😳😳 As I’ve got older I don’t know I just can’t bring myself to kill a Jewfish
