Fishing Shallow Rock Bars With Hard/ Soft Plastic Lures!!

Fishing Shallow Rock Bars With Hard/ Soft Plastic Lures!!
Gday everyone and welcome back. In todays video i headed out to one of my local waterways in hope of catching a few fish. From bad weather, to heaps of donut days. My motivation levels were pretty low, but my hopes were high. While swapping and changing between my rod combos i was able to land some pretty good fish!!
Cheers for viewing and i hope you all enjoyed :)

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

[@joshdfishing]

Aye appreciate it alot Taran!! 🙌🏼🤙🏼

[@Mark-ew5jm]

There is no doubt Josh that you are a production of choice for many anglers ….. the reason being in my opinion is like me, many would be annoyed by other productions have drifted into the “watch me catch a fish” where your productions are informative, instructional and aimed at many varied techniques. Thanks again for sharing another great video Josh and I hope the weather improves for you to continue to enjoy your passion.

[@joshdfishing]

Thanks Mark! I try to be different with my vids and show all the bits and bobs that’s go into fishing not just catching

[@danielshearer1439]

I have the same issues with my fg, learned that finishing it off with a uni seems to help stop this issue. Got this from the Briggs’s tutorial

Good to have you back Josh! I’ve used the last 3 weeks to watch all of your vids, some of them a couple of times.

Shallow rock bar, little bit of wind, medium or shallow diver = money. My favourite way to catch bream.

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah I wish the wind was up just that slight bit more. But there was still a few up and feeding.

Gedday there Josh, just have to congratulate you on the overall presentation, content, quality and outright effort that you put into the production of your vids .. and each one gets better! Love the enthusiasm and very natural way you chat to and inform your audience as you go. You’re a ‘natural communicator over all age groups too. You’ve a big future in this game my friend! Very Best Regards to you, Charles.

The youtube vid on the FG sounded like Luke from Saltstrong channel, he always has awesome insights into knots.

Yeah that’s what it was haha. Learnt heaps from salt strong In the past. And picked up another tip on this day out🙌🏼

[@mathew4588]

Head up to St. George’s basin mate, get onto some big flattys !

[@baileylawrence3444]

I reckon a fly fishing video would be an awesome idea!!

[@joshdfishing]

Ohhh maybe one day. Could be some good fun on tailor and salmon In the estuaries

[@Arbyofuchprawnage]

Great vid as always Josh. I was wondering if you pinch your barbs because it seems sometimes its a little tough to get the hooks out. I know there are many schools of thought on this but as a long time fly fisherman its always been a standard that you pinch barbs if you are going to be releasing fish.

[@joshdfishing]

No I don’t pinch my barbs. Never ever heard of bard pinching for releasing fish. Thanks for that info

[@ynots0625]

Yeah used to do this when fishing the freshwater ponds/streams for trout , crush the barb down with pliers for easier release/hook extraction. Funny how not many know of this little trick.

[@Mullerman]

Probably lose some fish cause of this too

[@mitchyboy1397]

Cheers Joel!

[@joelburgess5316]

Wow thanks for the reply

[@alleycat8483]

Hi Josh, great quality video, and i use light braid like you and never get an fg fail, i do 5 half hitches then a double before i trim leader, then 5 more above trimmed leader then a double to finish, also with the FG, i find it much easier to tie by putting the end of the braid in a hair pin and twisting 8 times then tucking into the end of my shorts or a fold in jeans and having the braid come across your leg from the right, that way your working in front and tension can be varied by your leg, after first hitch is done i hook jighead into butt and wind till tense so hitches are added much easier, if you dont get the idea i could send photos.. cheers.

[@jb-es5zj]

jighead in the but sounds paimfull have you seen fg knot by Briggsy thats what i tie now

[@ynots0625]

Great vid, worth the wait champ. Also on the FG knot dont use it on anything lower than 8pound, use the lazy alberto knot. Easier to tie and no nonsense on tension, and it goes through guides and onto the spool easily. Also I suggest investing in a pair of “seal socks” given all the impromptu wading you do, highly recommend them. Yewww 🤙🏾 Tight Lines -Tone

[@joshdfishing]

Thanks mate!! Tight lines to you too

[@fishingwithjenius4157]

Nice

[@fishinjosh]

Great vid man! Change the half hitches out for a ‘rizzuto finish’ on the FG and you’ll be set 👌🏼

[@joshdfishing]

Sweet thanks man

[@peterm6199]

Nice one Josh! Another great vid. Thought you were going to pull out some hot chips for bait again to break in the new rod 👌 😂.

[@joshdfishing]

Good ol hot chips

[@catchandreleasefisbingnsw]

You should do another subscriber recommended lure challenge and finally use those squidgy bloodworm wrigglers 😄🤙

[@LeonAust]

Josh it's time you invested in a good pair of breathable waders, you can confidently fish in winter whilst its use in summer will stop pelican itch (sand flies) and you will be able to wade in deeper water giving greater access to the water. Another thing why don't you get yourself a light Blackfish/Luderick outfit, having a float down strike on camera would be cool and you could use it for bream.
