JETTY FISHING a Yorke Peninsula ICONIC HOTSPOT

[@RianMaddern]

What a great day to be out fishing Matt!! Another awesome banger, keep em rolling Matt :))

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely want to go back in Summer! 😁

[@joeboccaccio7935]

We got spooled here one night ..mate was using a 80lb fully rollered rod matched with a Penn 12/0 all attached to a shoulder harness....could not tighten drag at all, unless you wanted to end up in the drink....we think it was either a ''huge'' Black Ray or a ''huge'' White Pointer shark

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Som big monsters lurking out there for sure... wish I had got a hook up.

[@Lowysfishing]

Good looking spot mate so even if fishing was quiet its a great location to enjoy the day.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

For SA the fishing is pretty good mate... you're spoilt where you live! 🤣 But yeah a lovely spot.

[@emanuelskorposflindersrun1668]

Good stuff Matt, love your work mate

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Thanks Emanuel. Hopefully your past pruning and we can get out for a fish again with Michael soon!

[@blokeonaboat7305]

You had a great day there, well done!

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Hey thanks Greg. Yeah a lovely spot and got a feed. Would have loved that live bait to go off with a mully or something.

[@Thats_That_Dude]

It’s beautiful over there. Tight lines!

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Hey thanks sir! Appreciate u checking out the vid!

[@jimmyk2646]

Bloody hell Matty you must have caught close to a million tommies in your time haha.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

🤣 very much an easy species to target and catch! 😉

[@kevinbrian3244]

Fantastic location Matt. I've seen it on other videos and camping pages. Good feed caught.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Cheers Kevin. Yeah I'd like to try a bit closer to shore for the squid. But I was told to head out to the end. Overnight would be great if I had some lighting.

[@addappt]

Good job mate. Looks like a great spot.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yeah I'd been wanting to fish there for some time! Thanks for the support!

[@Bishy67]

Great video mate, and BTW - Great article in this month's SA Angler magazine - was a great read.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it. I'm also on the latest episode of All the Gear Bit No Idea Fishing Podcast talking about it.

[@AndyHan-AussieCanuck]

Thanks for the sharing! Looks like a beauty spot! Maybe add some scenic shots of your surroundings for future videos - so we can have a better sense of what your view is like? Keep up the great work!

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Thanks for commenting. Yeah, I can definitely do that in the future.

[@shelleyblunder3656]

Matt, I'm new to your channel and say cheers, mate. Have you made an in-depth view of how to tie and rig for newbies like me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Hi Shelley, thanks for dropping by. No I haven't done these types of vids. There are lots of this info on YT and I am more a vlog style than a edu style. This is a great little resource too: abcmaps.com.au/waterproof-book-of-essential-fishing-knots/

[@KavindaRasanjana]

good one mate🙌

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Really appreciate it Kavinda!

[@colinwhiting5410]

Definitely a great spot did you try fishing from those rocks on the point . Cheers Wombat🐾🤗🎣🎣👍

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

No, I didn't, but there's always another day 😊

[@Chocos_fishing_AUS]

Mate I fished the same spot a few weeks back. Same technique as rapid bay. Bagged out on both mullet and salmon trout. Decent sized ones too. Tassie salmon oil in the burley pot saved the day.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yeah, I was just using a pilchard log burley.

[@andysharp21]

I hope you go down to the jetty at Marion Bay. I got 2 big squid there the other day. Both on Red Heads but I was lucky the tide was all wrong to be getting anything.....but I'll take it.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Hi Andy, I did try it twice while I was down there. No good though. There was little to no water movement the weekend I was there. I did fowl hook a banjo ray on a Glowtiger and it wouldn't let go so I had to walk it to the beach to let it go.

[@Polleyggg]

Got a 10ish kg snapper off the other side half way down on a steal trace under a ballon when shark fishing during the snapper ban

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Cool... nice catch!

[@DangerousDavesDestinations]

Gorgeous day for it 👌🏻That local stitched you up Matt 😂 I have fished Stenhouse Bay religiously every summer for the last 20 odd years & have caught all my fish, squid, rays & sharks from the northern side nothing at all from the southern side. The northern side has more weed & sand. Guy's do balloon at night in summer at Southern tip of the jetty as the Marion shipwreck is located just over 500m from there. It's a long hard trek but the rocks around the corner can provide big salmon & occasionally barracuda no good to eat but a great fighting fish rarely caught here in S.A.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Thanks for that. Nice to know. Will try again next time...

[@comeatmebro3229]

i wouldnt say hes been stitched up, the southern side is the side you generally balloon for sharks from so thats probably what the local meant. Most people who fish Stenhouse are after sharks

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yeah makes sense... was also hoping for some squid but maybe need to be closer to shore for them? More protected water...

[@comeatmebro3229]

@@MattsFishingEscapes you get squid off the end but most people do squid around about mid jetty, just a bit up from where the sand and weed meet how deep did you have your float set? at the end of those jetties i try to get my teaser as deep as i can get it, they dont really want to expose themselves at the top of the water collum for too long, i do the same thing at the end of the Edithburgh Jetty and by the gate at Port Giles

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

About 1.8m... probably too short

[@mattmorris8137]

Hey matty long way to drive for a feed of Tommy's mate

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

I stayed at Marion Bay Caravan Park for a few days. I'm am sure there's plenty down there. I'm just a beginner...

[@mattmorris8137]

@@MattsFishingEscapes keep trying matty it will pay off

[@BennyBestt]

Barley up hard Matt, try at night, bring a few bright LED lights face into the water to attract the squid, as there's no lights.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

I definitely think it would be great at night time if I had some lighting, which I'd need to get. Definitely keen on that on a nice Spring / Summers evening... I had a full 2kg pilchard burley block out with added salmon oil.

[@BennyBestt]

Thats a good amount of burley, try again at night time on a nice calm night, lights make a huge difference, attracts all the small fish etc etc. Even on the jetties like wool Bay etc, that have lights already. Still attracts the bait fish and squid

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Cheers will do! #keenas

[@NoNopeAndNo]

The biggest kingfish I've ever seen was from that jetty

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yeah would have been nice to hook up to one! Next time I guess!

[@waynebaker7073]

Mate go shallow squid mulloway 3am

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Hey thanks for the tip!

[@michaelplug4391]

Lucky you didn’t get fined for flying a drone in the national park

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

The drone said it was fine from the jetty...

[@razzafour6887]

is there a better sound in fishing click click click

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Not gonna lie, I don't think there is a better sound in life... lifts the heart rate for sure.
