PB Shovel Nose Ray Shark & Flathead Fishing - Rapala Shadow Rap Deep Lure

This morning we are fishing the groynes off Brighton north of Brisbane. The lure of choice is the Rapala Shadow Rap deep 11 in moss back shiner pattern. Similar colours to a mullet, hopefully, it can tempt some fish with its moss coloured back, inner reflective foil and tight diving action. It’s the first king high tide of the year, so let’s make the most of it and start flicking.
If you enjoyed the video, please leave a like and comment. Thanks for watching - the support is greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Good fun to celebrate the new year! You should have kept the shovel nose they are excellent eating.

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Garry, indeed was great fun being taken to Moreton Island and watching all my line peel away 😬 Yeah, I've eaten shovel nose before and the flesh is delicious. Though this big old girl was too big to take home and always good to release for the next angler to experience 👍 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@beery52]

hi mate dad caught a big shovely on margate beach 1968 it filled the bath we ate it for over a week and a half anyway tight lines

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Robert mate, great to hear from you. How big did the shovel nose go? Must have been huge if it fed the family for that long! Thanks for watching and sharing your stories 😊

[@BasicFishingNZ]

far out haha talk about a huge start to the year! that shovel nose shark is definitely one fish i would like to target if i get the chance. but man talk about a perfect hook up on a rare fish! but man talk about catch 'flat'ies all day haha

[@ImJasonFish]

Haha good one mate! Usually I get them on bait, but this time on lure surprisingly. Never knew they were aggressive predators. Thanks for coming back to watch and dropping a comment. Cheers mate 😊👍

[@BasicFishingNZ]

@@ImJasonFish haha surprise comes so many ways in fishing. but wen you see many of sir david attenborough's shows, you learn a thing or two

[@strata114]

Hi ..... what shoes are you wearing for the purpose of being on that groyne at Brighton ... then in shin deep water on sand landing that 4' shovel nose shark? @ 19:00

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, the shoes are Land & Sea Dive boots from BCF. My feet are pretty soft, so I need to wear boots haha. Plus can never be careful stepping around the flats and rocks. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍

[@xavierbrooksisthebest]

Bro if you want to catch lots of shovelnose shark down at Nudgee Beach pier I see loads of people getting them using whole winter whiting on ganged hooks and they really seem to love whiting

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Xavier, thanks for the tip. I reckon single hooks are better in some scenarios. Ganged hooked have their place in the surf, but singles for the monsters as they cant't feel the hard metal as much. Thanks for watching 👍

Hey Jason was that you on the drain just south of bridge this morning .

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, on the groynes down at Brighton? Sure was me 😊

[@alleycat8483]

@@ImJasonFish Was a nice morning, no waves coming over the groynes , that flatty that bit me off went through 16lb leader , was a solid flatty , wednesday i fished the northern side out on the sandflats for zero, and had a few more zeros on that bank lately, have you checked out the Pirtek fishing challenge for April, 17th and 18th.

[@ImJasonFish]

Yeah Brissy is getting to the point of being fished out. Sucks! I have to check that out! Cheers 👍

[@aussie_fishcatcha9583]

you have gotta try the jackals squirrel for those deep flatteries, one of my favourite lures

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, thanks for watching and the reccomendation. What's your go to pattern?

[@aussie_fishcatcha9583]

@@ImJasonFish i forget the name but it is a pink shrimp pattern. p.s when i got me first shovel nose i thought it was a monster flatty.

[@ImJasonFish]

Haha how big of a flaty were you thinking? 3mty?

[@thedon9670]

@@aussie_fishcatcha9583 haha so did I! Got so excited as I was using my kids kmart fishing gear ie really light and it took ages to land a 94cm one lol.

[@aussie_fishcatcha9583]

@@ImJasonFish i think it felt like a 6mty!

[@williamkeogh779]

Do you reccomend fishing high or low tide at brighton?

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey Will, the Brighton groynes are only fishable at high tide. Good luck and thanks for watching 😊

[@alleycat8483]

Havew found it hard there with the big tides, wet pants is about all i got..

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, I find the high tides above at least 2.2m the most productive. Possibly due to the fish being able to move right into shore. I would reccomend using hardbody lures at this spot as there are no snags due to it being a sand flat. Hopefully this helps you a bit. Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@alleycat8483]

@@ImJasonFish I usually get a few on plastics there but with the big winds lately the chop has been flying over the groins and up your leg lol.

[@ImJasonFish]

Yeah soft plastics work well. Which plastic lure do you flick? Yeah tell me about it, hence why I went to a higher groyne 😂

[@alleycat8483]

@@ImJasonFish Hi jason, my favourite plastic was a bargain bin 3 inch white paddle tail that i cut 1 cm off, my tally for the year was a whisker off 260 so white will be my go to this year as well.

[@ImJasonFish]

Impressive mate. Good luck and tight lines for 2021!

[@breannaguymer2237]

On average, how much do you think you catch a day. Just wondering because I feel like I’m the only one catching one to two fish a day 😭

[@ImJasonFish]

Haha hey mate. Sometimes I have good days and sometimes I have donut days. Many fishing sessions you never see as I catch nothing or its not enough footage for a full video. Some of these clips and videos are compiled together and can be seen on my compilation playlist. Though, I always try and at least go fishing once a week as it is difficult with a full-time work and catching up with things on weekends. So I always hope I can get a video from that one fishing session that week. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

[@breannaguymer2237]

Ok thanks.

[@69fangs69]

fully bent a trebble there

[@ImJasonFish]

Haha thanks mate. Eventually spotted it. Let me tell you it can get pretty tricky juggling equipment, camera angles and commentating all at the same time 😂 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍

[@thedon9670]

Hi Jason, it's proper name is actually a Giant Shovel Nose Ray according to Qld Fisheries (Google it). I caught a 94cm one there a couple of months back now. Tasted alright too 😉 What's wrong with rays? Don't their wings taste good? What time did you start fishing? It looks pretty bright. I thought sunrise was usually the best time? Cheers.

[@ImJasonFish]

Hey mate, they indeed are good eating, but this one was too big to keep. Plus everyone likes a good release for an big old girl. There is a very big controversy and public dislike when keeping big fish especially flathead (lots of people hit the dislike button). High tide was around 11:30am, so I started fishing around 9am as the tide was already pretty high. But yeah sunrise is generally the best time to fish as the wind usually picks up later in the morning. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍
