Live Bait Fishing For BARRAMUNDI - In Far North Queensland

There's only 6 days until im leaving Cairns what Ill be doing is I'm going to pickup my caravan and a roof topper tinny in the Sunshine Coast to keep filming this content for you guys!
The first stop will be Victoria, back where it all started, although then were straight back to Queensland. There's only one video left to land a barramundi before I leave.

[@HSFishin]

Your videos convinced me to finally get a boat and get outdoors even more than i already do, your very inspirational and convince me to get out and do what i love doing.

[@lukefalzon]

yessssss I love that comment brother thank you thank you go get one mate

[@sw4ggyp]

Luke you’re the best! Definitely an inspiration to others. Your tenacity, positive attitude and your view on fishing and life makes you such a good role model to others. Keep it up

[@slothsloth4651]

One door closes and fifty new ones open. Let's look at the possibilities and adventure. Great news in some ways. Love your work mate. Beautiful content after a long day. Great stuff, so excited about your travels. Yesss mate! Lez goooo!!

[@lukefalzon]

thank you so much brother that so nice of you 😊 so thank you man that means a-lot mate honestly how are you?

[@R4pidlyy]

[@lukefalzon]

I appreciate that! thank you brother ♥️

[@ash._.14]

Been watching your journey to catch a barra, its been such a good series. Continue it. You’ll get a barra bro, love your vids so much. Its sad to see you not getting a barra. I cannot wait for the day you get one. Keep fishing bro🤙

[@vascor9344]

Luke mate, we don't want you to leave either buddy. Absolutely spectacular video and it is sad, but it is ok to acknowledge that. You darn made me shed a bloody tear only 3 minutes into the video . Guess it really shines some light onto the saying you never know how much you loved something until its gone, have been greatful for your content since day one mate and it truly has been a remarkable journey we have embarked on. I don't know about others but I know that I sure as am not going anywhere, I'm here to stay as long as you keep bringing that positive energy and zest to make my day. Don't worry mate I sure as bloody won't forget about you, you have given me too much mate and I truly don't think I can put in words, as someone who is very time bound and rarely gets the chance to get out, how much your content brings me joy and excitement. Watching your fishing ability drastically improve with each episode has been an absolute honour, watching your vibrant personality, radiating happiness that we all need in our days is truly special mate. I certainly hope its not the last video mate, I can see you are getting super close and I want it bad for you more than anything. Cheers for another banger, you legend , 🤞 crossed you can get one before the 8 days.

Safe travel for you and family mate, may God watch over you and family 👋🙏 Can't wait to see your next adventure 👍🙏

[@lazr4281]

For catching barra, having a big sinker and more line before the hook for the live bait to move is good for live baiting as barra dont really care about sinker size and i'd go between 4/0 and 6/0 circle hooks for live baiting. I'd also try live prawns, catching them off the Esplanade beaches. ay, you getting better good luck on the big trip 😁😁

[@lukefalzon]

cheers brother for the heads up man, how you been?

[@timwheel8466]

Live bait for Barra then leave the bail arm open as they sometimes do a taste test first. Watch the line and when she starts peeling off a good circle hook will grab them when you set. Have the drag on tight for the set and next thing you know, we are watching Luke catch his fist barra. 😂

[@lukefalzon]

hahahahah cheers brother hahahah I will give it a go brother

[@jarrodg8790]

Brett Pickles caught a Barra at the Cairns airport esplanade and uploaded the video to KZbin. On a $15 tee from Kmart and an $80 rod from BCF. Great video and catch from Brett.

[@MrTheAffie]

Need tight drag so the hook can be set in the fishes mouth

I don't no why I didn't have a tight drag bro

@@lukefalzon good man! just enjoy watching your episodes. Biggest thing for me is your content shows you don't need to spend hundreds of thousands on boat and gear to get out and amongst it! what you is reality, bring back the basic & affordable for a lot of people who might have thought fishing & boating is out of budget! So full credit to you bro.

[@landseahuntingntls8228]

Hey brother over here in the NT we find the Barra to be feeding the best on the out going tide, typically the last couple hours of the out going tide. And when it’s a bit cooler like now, fishing the river mouths close to the mangroves should produce the big girls. Good luck on ur new adventure and love watchin ya eps. 🍻

[@danamonaei2012]

Going to miss you and the Family 😢 Didn’t get a chance to meet you all, but I feel I know you all from you videos. Didn’t even get a chance to show you some of my recipes☹️🙁😞 I just want to wish you and the Family all the Best on your new Adventures. And for sure, I shall be watching 😊

[@legogamergurl5047]

Feel Bad for you Lukey. Just keep fishing the way that you are and try to fish more murky waters for the Barra. If in Brisbane any time soon mate, would love to take ya Snapper fishing off Mud Island / The Port. Catch all decent species through here brother. Keep up the work

And when you’re using your cast net slowly pull it in so the bottom closes

[@manifestingmoney1015]

Love your videos man keep it up and when you first get a fish on the hook pull the rod harder so the hook sets in the fishes mouth

[@lukefalzon]

I think I needed the drag tighter bro, how have you been?

[@stirlingbadventures57]

Hey mate great video! Maybe when ur using live baits, don’t leave ur drag to loose otherwise the fish will run with the bait but the line will not be tight and they may not hook themselves.I dunno what’s the best way this is just what is use to catch some nice fish.Hope one day u catch ur dream Barra? Love ur videos and all the best

Hey Luke try hooking live bait through the lip , less chance of being pulled off . Another thing to factor in with the boat on the caravan roof your going to be restricted with solar , you want more panels to be over rated for battery storage

[@aljohnson1191]

We catch snook here in Florida (very similar to Barramundi) with pilchards on a 2/0 to 3/0 circle hook. We hook the baits through the cartilage on their nostrils or underneath toward the tail instead of middle of their back. Maybe fish on the bottom like that guy was saying try out a carolina rig

[@mattrichardson-kl4yb]

I watch you grow with your skills and channel so sad to see you leave cairns can you please come to Townsville you will get your Barra

[@Blueblueblue44]

You can use light drag.Especially with a small live bait. But better to use straighter hook like KS. Its just like straylining let it run and chew on it for a few seconds longer that way the hook is more likely in its mouth when you tighten up and lift the rod tip. Obviously Baitrunner typ reels make this easier. Both different, both effective. 🐟

[@merossotti]

For the drag loosen it after you cast and then when there is a fish on tighten your drag and fight

[@Darbysfishing]

heyy luke that gar u caught is amazing strip bait it will cach u barramundi for sure
