Is This Bait TOO Good?

[@StarloGetsReel]

If you're interested in getting hold of some Fishbites to try, check our my son Tom's on-line store at www.starlotackle.com If you'd like to see Fishbites at work (and actually catching fish!), here are two episodes well worth watching: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJvOpZp6erljY9U and kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIa5nmSdZqp_rpI And for all the good oil on pumping yabbies or nippers, watch this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJOxY6FqpsSpsMk

Great to see the continued honesty

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks! Keeping it ‘reel’. 👍

[@Petethefisherman945]

A good honest fishing video back to basics I loved it 💯 there will be days when the fishbites get more ! Thanks for sharing Starlo

[@StarloGetsReel]

Spot on!

[@paulfrost5160]

Thank you for an unbiased comparison today. Much respect to you!

[@StarloGetsReel]

Appreciate the feedback. 👍 "Keeping it reel!"

[@justme.9711]

The Aerial of Tuross lakes reminds me of Wallis lake at Forester, great clean estuary system.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Absolutely. 👍

[@poetrybyivo1299]

Love your narration style in these videos! Calming and so informative

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks, I try to keep things simple and straightforward. So glad you enjoy them!

[@lesfredericks4232]

Great video Steve thankyou 👍🎣

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@lesfredericks4232 you’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

[@MichaelWenning-h5g]

Steve have you ever used the garden worms as well for bait 👍👍👍

[@StarloGetsReel]

Do you mean real garden worms or the earthworm Fishbites. I haven’t had a chance to try those yet. Have done well on real garden worms. 👍

[@MichaelWenning-h5g]

@ absolutely awesome bait the real garden worms Steve try them when you get a chance to love your videos as well thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍

[@MichaelWenning-h5g]

@ very good steve you are very interesting to watch I have watched you with rex hunt’s videos love it 👍👍👍👍👍

[@justme.9711]

I thought you were in Vic. What waterway is that?

[@StarloGetsReel]

Far south coast of NSW. As for the river, I adopt a line from the US military on that one: "Don't ask, don't tell." ;)

[@justme.9711]

So Starlo, what one do you recommend for just north of Sydney [ Brisbane waters ]. Very fair experiment you've shown here too.

[@StarloGetsReel]

@ give the squid, shrimp and new yabby/nipper a run I reckon. 👍

[@peterspurway-smith8597]

Think we should catch up in Tasmania, first stip is the worms and red crab i did as a kid

[@peterspurway-smith8597]

Then we will move of to very rare huge flathead

[@peterspurway-smith8597]

Imagine that a fishing ideal in my life links

[@mr6368u]

I’ve been experimenting with the fish bites a lot since they first started being distributed locally. I feel like I did way better over winter and I’m not having much luck in summer. Echoing your video- a lot of noncommittal bites. I always keep one or two packs ready to go though

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@mr6368u yes, learning all the time with this stuff. I’ve had some red hot sessions on it, but also the odd fail.

[@davidgc4396]

Enjoyed Starlo. I think live bait wins most times although I caught a couple of nice blue salmon on fresh frozen mullet I vacuum sealed a few weeks ago. Heading for a beach fish tomorrow. The tide charts I go off say it’s an ordinary day for fishing but that’s when I have caught 1 metre fish?🐠 🐠🐠

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@davidgc4396 good luck!

[@davidfoale205]

Interesting that the pink nippers work on Luderick, might have to get the old pump out and have a squiz at a few of their southern siblings.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Yes they are quite keen on them… worms (squirt and blood) even more so.

[@davidfoale205]

@StarloGetsReel that'll be the plan then. I know of a similar flat to what you're fishing on here thats not too far from where we were in January that holds a healthy population of blackfish. I'll give it a whirl.

[@keithprinn720]

like you can pump yabbies and squirties but beach worms different story lol like you hate the number of small bream and especially red bream on bait. caught luderick on weed, prawns, squirties, blood worms and soft plastics never on nippers though. great video having an alternative beach bait to cut baits and beach worms necessary so often.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Oh, I SO wish someone would invent a beach worm pump! Or maybe an electrode you push into the sand that makes them leap out!?!

[@ianmoone2359]

I heard a rumour once that them yabbie things taste a bit like nuts if you chew em alive! 😜😂😂😉👍🇦🇺

[@StarloGetsReel]

Have a crack and let us know! 😆

[@No_trout_about_it]

First ! Onya starlo 🎣

[@StarloGetsReel]

Cheers!

[@Kronik24971]

Love using me fishbites, just restocked with 3 packs, has its good and bad days still love using it.

[@StarloGetsReel]

I totally agree. I've had some awesome results with it... and also a few misses. I guess that's fishing!

[@alleycat8483]

Hi Steve, i hate bait fishing for the same reason, have you ever experimented trying a small semi circle hook with yabbies?.

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@alleycat8483 yep, they work. I just can’t break the habit of striking! Need to basically let the fish hook itself on circles. I need to use them more.

[@mudgut69]

@@StarloGetsReelI don’t find circles work well with nippers. The bait is just too soft. Any other bait is fine.

[@Anthiron]

Caught a decent school Jew on some worm fish bites today in a quick session from the shore in pumicestone passage.

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@Anthiron nice! 👍👍👍

[@jasonjarrett4394]

Gday Starlo. I reckon if you only had the fish bites out you would have done better on them. I think most fish will take a Bass Yabby befor anything else.

[@StarloGetsReel]

I think you’re right. 👍

[@justinadams5159]

I think it just proves our classic Aussie Estuary bread and butter fish not as dumb as those reef fish you fooled with the Fish Bites. Those bloody low brow reefies!😅

[@StarloGetsReel]
