MICRO JIGGING | Gold Coast Seaway.

This session started out like any other day, target big fish early move on to smaller species as the day progressed. The plan worked almost too well and I ended up with more footage then one could fit in a well edited fishing video. Even though I never intended to split this footage as I was filming it I came to a decision that it was probably for the best even though I hate making two part episodes.

[@hudgyboys1599]

Always love the seaway caught some memorable fish and so will you!!!

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah same mate. Had some hectic sessions in there over the years. That swell can really make it gnarly fishing at times.

[@hudgyboys1599]

Liam Fitzpatrick I know sometimes you can’t even get your line to the bottom

[@davebrown7321]

we could see ya definitely got ya eye in!🤣

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yup 😉

[@fishermansoffice]

Gotta love a good eyeball jag haha. Couple of nice little fish. Can't complain complain there 💥👌

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Na and I had to cut it there cos the bream session that follows is off tap mate.

[@fishermansoffice]

@@LiamFitzpatrick awesome. Will be checking that out 👊

[@boof64j9]

Haha what are the odds was just thinking about hitting the seaway soon and then I see the notification from this legend

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Was a glorious day to be out there mate. Get amongst as a great man would say 😉

[@w0lf149]

Keep it coming 👍🏻

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Never stop mate.

[@frisko3000]

Onya mate. I like your videos. Keep up the good work. You've inspired me to get out there and start chasing those Mary's (the fish) 😂

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

They’re a no target species mate. They are purely by-catch while targeting bass.

[@frisko3000]

@@LiamFitzpatrickThanks for the heads up mate. Do you know what the best impoundment is for them? I can target them guilt free then.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Wyaralong should produce a few this summer mate.

[@alleycat8483]

Your fishing buddy works at my local Freddy's , always helpful and seems a nice fella, and you must have been a skateboarder in your time to keep your feet in that swell.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Ha ha no shit I was a skater grom. Guy was the kid who’d come hassle me at the tackle shop back when he was 13 like everyday after school. That was over a decade ago and now he’s the guy.

[@willkitching]

Nice session mate, good vid! Always good to see some juvenile Jewwies getting around on the Gold Coast, hopefully the fishery keeps improving

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

It comes and goes with good breeding seasons mate. There’s always something doing well about the place.

[@willkitching]

@@LiamFitzpatrick Too right mate. Since netting stopped in the Southern Broadwater all those years ago it has bounced back ridiculously well! 🤙

[@brentlivingstone3732]

Thats my favourite spot at 3:30! Pulled 8 fish just in that spot, including a nice mackerel. Bait fish was getting smashed in that spot for like 1 hour straight.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah when it’s on out there it’s awesome mate. We’ll done.

[@tokz5310]

Hi liam..i used to fish at the spit, just close to the small round about.i used live baits but got snagged all the time..lure wont snag easy...what is the best lure i can use on that area to cath diff kinds of fish,?thanks😄

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

The land based options on the south wall are difficult at best mate. Everything will snag with the step down drop off on that side. Your best option for minimal snags would be a surface lure or a slug or something. It all depends on the target species mate.

[@kennywee1190]

Mate, is that stradic fj 2500 on gomoku? 🤔🤤

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah mate I figured white on white would make a sick little combo.

[@jowiththebow3375]

Keen to see how this one goes

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Just a quick one before the rest of the epic day unfolds. Stay tuned for Part Two.

[@cameronssurfing4899]

Sick

Cheers mate.

[@cameronssurfing4899]

It’s all good check out the fish I caught

@@LiamFitzpatrick wish we had weather like that here in Perth these south westerly winds is a pain when you want to go out kayak fishing.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Hit the land locked lakes mate, giant fish holding waters.

[@pa1264]

@@LiamFitzpatrick is that in Perth?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

I know there are lakes with huge fish stuck in them over there.

[@craigullmann1110]

Nice mate! Some good kingies hang around there too. Been railed a few times over the years.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Been awhile since I’ve battled a few of them round there too mate.

A flat day out there

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah I’ve been out there in worse mate. Not run.

[@user-bp7wb1eu9z]

Whens are the best times to get out the seaway because everytime i go i cant seem to get an easy way out or it to even look as nice as in that video

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Neap tides so less current and aim for days under 10 knots, consecutive low wind days will drop the swell and you’ll get conditions like these mate.

[@user-bp7wb1eu9z]

@@LiamFitzpatrick Thanks so much really appreciate it!

[@aus_fishing]

How big is that boat I am thinking of going out there. And I also have a 6hp do u reckon I can get there

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah that’s a 3.8 mate. As long as your motor is reliable so if you get pushed in near the rock you can back out safely.

[@aus_fishing]

@@LiamFitzpatrick what if I use google anchor

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Spot Lock? Yeah anything mate just a gnarly place to get stuck if shit goes wrong.

[@aus_fishing]

@@LiamFitzpatrick yea

[@Seansfishingtales]

My stomping grounds 😂 been some good fish there lately

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

On lures or bait mate?

[@Seansfishingtales]

Bit of both mate

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Sweet as mate.

[@Seansfishingtales]

Liam Fitzpatrick caught myself a nice 70-80cm snapper using light gear just 5km east of the seaway when the ban opened back up 👌🏼

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Don’t think the tinny will be venturing out that far mate.

[@callumsample954]

Hahaha he shoulda seen it coming

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Very punny 🤣

[@Elijah27brown]

What brand a thw jigs

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Can’t remember but I like Ima Gun and Storm Koika jigs mate.

[@perrysfishing]

Probably a sweep

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah with the little stripe I figured it was just a butter bream.

[@perrysfishing]

Liam Fitzpatrick where they really trying to eat the lure

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Na I just burned up to see if they liked pace and copped one in the eyeball.

[@perrysfishing]

Liam Fitzpatrick well yeah then it was probably a butter bream
