[@clintvogel]

Hey Shroom I’m lovin the videos mate. Just easy watching and entertaining with your comments and cut scenes. It gives me a good laugh from some of your comments. Great videos mate 👍😀

[@ShroomFishing]

Glad you like them Clint! Welcome and thanks for the feedback

[@mitchellshield4068]

Awesome video mate, every time I’m in the exact spot you were standing with your flatty I’m always catching a few there myself. Must be there favored spot of theirs

[@ShroomFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it Martin

[@Jorre-Fisk]

Always good vids dude thanks I was bored at home isolating keep up the content hehe

[@ShroomFishing]

Haha same here, this isolation is getting long in the tooth and I'll run out of content soon if it keeps up but it's in everyone's best interests. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I still have some content to come and I'll think of an idea after that when I do run out of it.

[@i_am_mcsee]

Love it, well done.

[@ShroomFishing]

Thank you

[@greglindfield2767]

Good stuff Shrooms

[@rahuldeol9326]

Great video and thanks for living us clues about the spot anyway can you please tell me and your audience what video you are using? I am looking for something you are using with great clarity and ow-some sound. cheers.

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Rahul! In this video I am using a GoPro Hero 5 Black with a Rode VideoMicro microphone. Any of the newer GoPros would be superior than the 5 (horrible unusable sound in wind).

[@alexsss79]

awesome vid shroom I'm glad I found this as I've really bin struggling to fine bream tutorials 👍

[@ShroomFishing]

I appreciate it Alex! I really need to do more tutorials like these. I'm glad you liked it 👍👍

[@leeegan5435]

Wow, there are some chunky bream caught there! You obviously know what you are doing. Would you ever consider sharing a trip? I would be happy to pay.

[@ShroomFishing]

Hi Lee. Send me a message via email [e-mail]

[@alanfiddick1887]

Hey mate, I'm just in the process of binge watching your vids and loving them, just wondering what depth your cranks are diving to. Thank you.

[@ShroomFishing]

Awesome Alan, feed that addiction! Around 1.5 to 2 m usually

[@bushsends6358]

Great vid, love using those little fat cranks on Bass, from what i've heard they're mostly used on bream but I've had heaps of success targeting bass with mat black colour (;

[@dhennis888]

Hi. Which suburb is this place in? Thanks.

[@nunya397]

Drummoyne

[@Vas1984]

I have that exact lure but the shallow diver. I should really use my hardbody cranks more often

[@ShroomFishing]

Nice one Vas1984. The shallow divers work too, I'll probably use some shallows next time. Can't beat the colour, easily one of my favourites.

[@Fish-w828]

great vid keep it up :D

[@ShroomFishing]

Thank you Mr Siddons! I appreciate the support.

[@SamDewing]

Mate I love the videos keep up the good work. Also buy yourself a small folding net some of these clips of you trying to land the fish seem tough on you and the fish!

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks The Dewude. Glad you liked it! It looks like I may need to get a folding net in the future.

[@KimUngchef]

Nice spot to fish for fun. Where about is this place in para? Anyone know the street guys.

[@zhouyufei5641]

nice catch

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Zhou Yufei.

[@christosmalaka]

Hey bro great vids just a question... What knot do you use to connect your braid to your leader?

[@ShroomFishing]

Hey Christos, I use an FG knot.

[@krissaylawl6416]

were is this place.

[@FBI-bw1ck]

Maybe you should try a net. it might make it easer to land the fish and not lose it

[@tatechambers6601]

Hey Shroom just wondering what areas of the parramatta river are for that kind of hardbody fishing cause I’m keen to check it out

[@ShroomFishing]

Hey Tate, some areas are better than others but you can use hardbodies in almost any water that you can use a plastic. You may need to change up on the type of hardbody but they are very versatile as a whole

[@tatechambers6601]

@@ShroomFishing yea exactly , are most parts of the parramatta decent for fishing with that kinda style hard bodies etc

[@ShroomFishing]

@@tatechambers6601 Yes, every single bay along the Parramatta river you could use the same lure and do exactly what you see in this video and catch fish 👍

[@tatechambers6601]

@@ShroomFishing sweet thanks heaps for that

[@ShroomFishing]

@@tatechambers6601 Good luck! 👍

[@playgames7515]

Wow the ole Parramatta river is pretty healthy. Are there mussel or oysters patches where you fish? Was wondering why those areas you fish are so active with fish. Keep up these videos, i just found them the other day. Btw love your Daiwa gear.

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks mate! Yes, the area is full of oysters.

[@amasterfishing5544]

That's a 20 year old bream, nicely done, Shroom!

[@ShroomFishing]

Thank you man. I don't get too many at that size and it's something a little special when it happens.

[@lurefishingthegoldcoast4020]

I just bought a new reel and was wondering how you clean your reels and what greases or oils you use .Great vid by the way

[@ShroomFishing]

I clean it with a spray bottle using the mist setting and wipe it down. I carefully soak the braid and line roller under a running tap. Periodically, I use Inox MX5 to oil roller bearings (where recommended), bail arm joins, and the exposed handle bearing. If I have to use grease e.g, felt drag washers, sometimes gears then I use Inox mx6 with PTFE.

[@lurefishingthegoldcoast4020]

Thanks so much for the reply

[@lurefishingthegoldcoast4020]

If I have Inox mx 4 does that matter.thanks

[@ShroomFishing]

It can be used as well but I think it's a spray. Not ideal, but it will still protect.

[@lurefishingthegoldcoast4020]

Thanks for the replies

[@Karl_Wild_Fishing]

great video mate, quality the tips! 👍🎣

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Karl Wild. Glad you found them useful!

[@hangyu0211]

Good work, Shroom. Just wonder if these hardbody lures are easy to catch snags? I have been using only soft plastics and now want to try something different, like minnows, vibes, surface lures etc. Thanks.

[@ShroomFishing]

Yes, unfortunately. Hardbody lures snag more fish and that means they are in general, less snag resistant that soft plastics. There are ways to get around it by not winding it down as deep but it takes a lot of skill and self-control to do so. It's worth starting off with floating, diving hardbodies like the one in this video rather than vibes and blades which sink right to the bottom. Surface lure fishing is another good way to get into it. Technique-wise, the learning curve is steeper but you don't generally lures to snags (unless you cast into trees). I did have a video on that posted recently that you could check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnOTZa14gr17msk

[@hangyu0211]

​@@ShroomFishing Thanks for the advice, mate. I actually went out and tried couple of cheap diving hardbodies. I ended up catching two decent flatties in 2 hours or so. I could definitely feel the lure bounce at the bottom when I slow-rolled it, something I learned from your video. I will try surface lures next time. BTW, the good quality lures are expensive, man. I guess you have spent a fortune on them already.

[@ShroomFishing]

@@hangyu0211 awesome man! I love hearing that it worked for you. Yeah, they do cost quite a bit to build a decent collection 😎

[@peterschneider4763]

good work

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Peter Schneider!

[@alihammoud4427]

Do you use any sinkers for your rigs when using lures

[@ShroomFishing]

Hey Ali, I never use sinkers for hardbody lures and very rarely when using soft plastics. I'll only use actual sinkers if I am rigging a soft plastic with a worm hook.

[@n00bszpro]

@@ShroomFishing Hey Shroom, how do you rig soft plastic with worm hook and a sinker? What is the typical size and type of sinker you would use?

[@ShroomFishing]

@@n00bszpro I'll have to look up size/s but I use ball sinkers that are about 1.5g. Visually about the same size as what you see on jigheads. I tie this up using a loop knot with the sinker within it.

[@evilzombies6467]

have you been to captain cook river before?

[@ShroomFishing]

Yes, love that system. Heaps on offer without travelling many kms

[@nathanriha]

Hey mate where is this located roughly I want to fish the parra but I dont know where

Awesome catch bro, keep it up 😀

That sesh certainly hit the spot 😊

[@ZeeXwarZ]

@@ShroomFishing yeah unbelievable that 40cm bream; But becareful bro try to fish alone and stay away from people. Its getting pretty serious out there.

[@ShroomFishing]

@@ZeeXwarZ Thanks Zee. I've stopped fishing for a few weeks now. Just using my bank of footage and I hope it lasts long enough because I ain't fishing so I will run out eventually. One day this situation will all come to an end and I hope that day comes sooner rather than later.

[@ZeeXwarZ]

@@ShroomFishing the good thing is no one is going fishing now a days. I been going to newcastle its empty and no people.

[@ShroomFishing]

Thank you Jai 👍

[@zzssww]

Hey Shroom, another great vid mate. We try fishing some of the same spots you go to and very rarely have any luck at all. You definitely have a knack when it comes to catching fish.

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Craig. I'm sure I replied to this but sometimes the reply never shows up. Yeah, I get pretty lucky sometimes but I do fish hard because you can make your own luck with perserverence. I'm sure a great session is around the corner for you!

[@ajlm2010]

Shroom, been meaning to ask you. Its not in thia vid, but ive seen you use it before. Where'd you get your G Loomis rod?

[@ShroomFishing]

I got my NRX 852S off the used market. They might be discontinued now but I'm not 100% sure.

[@ajlm2010]

Id be keen to see a tackle talk vid, get to see your arsenal.

[@ShroomFishing]

One day I'll do that video. It might be sooner than later with the isolation going on.

He doesnt keep them from parra river

[@phiromtauch6059]

how do we avoid rust on the hooks?

[@ShroomFishing]

Wash em in fresh water, can also spray them with oil based protective sprays. It won't solve the problem but it can prolongue life

[@easonxu5974]

Hi, which fishing spot in Sydney it is?

Depends on the spot but landbased, generally high tide.
