Live Baiting Cobia and Jew

Remora mate.....Ive generally found that when they show up the men in grey aren't far away ;-)

Nice one mate. Think they’re ramora.. they have been following me round and pinching my livies off the tweed the last few weeks. Bastards haha

Nice to see you back on the water John. We where out there the other morning same spot. They are Remoras... we caught one on a floated dead pillie. Generally the will not take big livies. Great reels!!! Those will do the trick!!

Good choice in heavy setups! I run a 6500hs on a shimano jewel 5'4 as a heavy jig/bait setup and 8500hs on a 8ft shimano jewel as a heavy casting setup. They have been so good in the last 12 months of use!

[@mylurebox]

That’s awesome mate. Thanks a lot. Sounds like I’ve got the balance in the right ball park now to have a shot at some serious fish :)

[@pistolpete5420]

Good to see you back out on the water again. I respected your decision and ethics to stay home. Don’t forget that map to the honey hole, I’d love to share it with you so you can show the world how to catch big red dogs in the shallows

[@mylurebox]

Hey Pete. Thanks for your support with my videos and channel. I haven’t forgot... or stopped dreaming about your Giant Jacks. Crazy stuff. Could you message me through Facebook or insta at all? I don’t know how to DM you on here. Cheers ;)

[@pistolpete5420]

mylurebox I’m not on social media mate. Send me an email and I’ll send you the google earth screen shots and details. From watching your clips u inspired me to get a tinny and chase the jacks from a boat. But now with your jet ski vids u inspired me to get outside for the big fish. So I sold my tinny yesterday and now in the market for a bigger boat. Maybe I should unsubscribe as your costing me $$$ 😂😂😂😂😂🤑

[@douger1517]

Hey great vid, should do one on the run down of your new reels, why that size and rods setups etc. keep up the good work.

[@rp3874]

The four fins just behind the head are the most obvious difference if its hard to see the head plate. They were pretty sizable, most i have seen are about a foot long.

[@mylurebox]

Thanks mate. That’s good to know also ;) they looked about the 1m long give or take. A lot bigger than I thought I’d see too.

[@ashtonmcgillick3728]

Those coins are remoras you can catch them on small oil HD Cubs and they taste similar to cobia

[@MH-ls1xi]

Put a drop of dish soap on your lens and buff it off with a cleaning rag stops it from fogging. Works on sunglasses too. Can't wait to see you battle a big wahoo on the ski mate that'll be epic try not too loose any fingers or toes in the process those wahoo can do some damage if your not careful.

[@mylurebox]

Mate thanks a lot for your advice across both fronts ;) I’ll put both to good use. Hopefully the wahoo isn’t too far away. Cheers !

Happy for you John. The dvd content was great. Thanks. Still in lockdown here, 8th week, only left the house once for supplies. Stay safe.

[@Timbuck77]

Great to see you back on the water. Unfortunately they are curious sucker fish. Although the cobia are around I got a 18kg last week.

[@Severe2jz]

Those remora are so smart. Years ago i thought the same as you and they were under my boat. I was throwing pilly cubes and they were smashing them as soon as i stick a hook on forget about it they just know 😂

[@mylurebox]

That’s the feeling I had in the end David. I was wishing I was better prepd with some pillies but your comments settles me a bit. Amazing how smart some of these fish offshore can be with their bites and interest.

[@hanna2nv]

Have you thought about having a live bait keeper system in the yak? 1 thing i did is 150mm pipe capped 1 end and threaded cap the other end to open it and drill it full of holes then u can just hang it in the water to keep livies with u instead of trying to catch one every time u need it

[@mylurebox]

Hi James, yeah mate. Definitely got some ideas for the ski and the yak. My. Mate has an epic set up he designed for his ski and for my yak I’ve just dragged a protein shake container behind me with holes and that does the trick too. Probably pretty similar size and concept to the piping. Yak fisherman are pretty crafty in those ways I reckon eh. Some great mods to make life easier is always appreciated. Cheers

[@hanna2nv]

For sure mate. I’ll get some stuff together in the coming weeks. There’s certainly some tendencies I’ve noticed and had shared with me when I was looking at getting my ski. I’ll keep that video in mind and pull some stuff together in the near future for ya

Making me so jealous seeing all this mate ahaha. So good. Really enjoying your jetski fishing footage mate. Keen to see you give those slammers a workout ;) With your new jig set up mate I think I herd you mention something about wire. When I went out last on the reef at Hervey Bay my mate introduced me to this wire that was like braid. You tie it. I'll see if I can find out what it is mate. Could make it interesting for you if you hook up =)

Mate thanks so much for following up On that wire. Sounds like something I have to try out eh. It’s damn crazy out there the amount of toothy critters getting about. Those poor yakkas have their work cut out.

East coast black jewfish catch limit reached Fishing for black jewfish in Queensland’s east coast waters is now off limits for all fishers until 1 January 2021 after the commercial catch limit was reached. Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner said the 20-tonne limit for east coast Black jewfish was reached on March 1. “Black jewfish is now a commercial and recreational no-take species on the east coast until the fishery reopens on 1 January 2021,” Mr Furner said. “Any commercial or recreational fisher found to be in possession of black jewfish will be in breach of the Fisheries Act and could face a maximum fine of $133,450.

They aren't cobia they are remora (sucker fish). The head is too pointed and the tail is too flat to be a cobia. By the way your bait was a bonito, you can eat them. But you can't eat mac tuna.

Actually the bait was neither mack tuna nor bonito but a striped tuna, and not the best of eating fish according to most (although did have one cooked for us down at St Helens Tasmania by a local who proved that comment to be wrong - unfortunately they didnt share their secret of HOW to cook it lol)
