[@gregeberhardt1711]

Thanks for showing the bait.....its the one of the two things i am working on ...bait and weight (ie sinker size)...covered both

[@dingydate]

Hi again Spud, you are dead right years ago i saw the RYAN MOODY castnet throw and its my go to cast, it's that time again live bait big fish. Cheers Chris

[@potatoesGDITB]

There are probably techniques that get a better circle but few that will keep you dry like the ryan moody way.

[@RobertB4170]

Excellent stuff. Thanks for sharing

[@potatoesGDITB]

Thanks Robert

[@dingydate]

Thank's Mate for heads up good luck, waiting for your next venture. Cheers Chris

[@morskasvinja2049]

Awesome such a beautiful fish

[@dingydate]

HI Spud, i have spent the weekend so far doing a rewire on my tinnie , after ten years or so it needed to be done anyway, mate you were saying you chase your mullet at night for bait , and have no trouble finding them. i have chased prawns in the river at night and did ok , so thanks i will give those places a go. Cheers Chris

[@potatoesGDITB]

Yeah as for boggy creek, i isually do 4-6 knots in the dark until i start spotting mullet in the general area. Then i slow cruise with the electric and no torch, only looking for a glimmer of there ripples. If you shine torch on them before casting, they will scatter.

Great video mate! I’ve been seeing a few of your vids pop up lately and always enjoy them/learn something. I just subscribed, keep up the great work 🙌🎣

[@potatoesGDITB]

Cheers will. I see quite a few of yours popping in the feed as well i’ll have to rewatch before hitting up some offshore snapper action!

[@arnoldrudder9624]

Awesome 😎

[@potatoesGDITB]

Cheers!!

Terrific video mate. Whats that fish there? We have the same specie here on the other side of the world and use same setup for it. As for mullets, if you want them gather in one stop, throw some pieces of bread on the water. They usually flock to it and fight over it. Cheers

[@potatoesGDITB]

Its a jewfish, or the scientific name is Argyrosomus japonicus. Yeah mullet around here aren’t super keen on bread, and i get the impression they feed on silt off the bottom. Down south my mate catches a different mullet for bait on bread all the time though.

[@HamishCavanagh]

Good video mate, nice work

[@potatoesGDITB]

Thanks Hambo

[@dingydate]

Nice work Spud, love the video mate keep up the good work. Cheers Chris

[@potatoesGDITB]

Cheers chris

[@jdmgarageaus]

Nice fish , well done.

[@Threddiez]

I found herring is the best for threadies

[@bronzemen34]

Great fishing video bro…well thought out too….and ur plan of execution was spot on Top job 🔥💯 🎣 Im subscribing 🔥

[@dingydate]

BACK again Mate, the cast net you are using is it a Top pocket with a bottom pocket as well ?? a bit hard to see . Cheers Chris

[@potatoesGDITB]

Its a 10ft drawstring. So no there are no pockets.

[@dingydate]

Dead right mate, when chasing prawns you don't to be wet the whole time, any fishing this weekend mate ??

[@potatoesGDITB]

Nah although last weekend, same technique, got a couple of school jew. Even the smaller ones will hit 18cm mullet

[@nautijade3318]

Very Jealous of you using that cast net potatoes, great catch mate !

[@potatoesGDITB]

Spot the sydneysider in the comments 😂

[@dingydate]

Cheers mate nice fish is he one of the best you have caught at the Port? Do you find the jew hit the mullet more so than the threadies? Cheers Chris

[@potatoesGDITB]

Yeah thats easy my biggest. I guess whether jew or threadys are there depends a bit on time of year. In winter ive caught more threadys in the city reaches. Nearly all on live mullet.

[@gdaam1377]

Great vid, thanks mate! Did you sound him up or just choose the spot and wait? Cheers

[@potatoesGDITB]

@@gdaam1377 i have caught them there before. I didn’t find him on the sounder but there was plenty of baitfish on the sounder which is my second thing to look out for. If i see neither i move on.

[@LeehamCollins]

Hey been watching your videos, nice work. Do u fish that pylon often ? I go past if often and think “probs worth a fish” but I never fish it……

[@potatoesGDITB]

I’ve probs caught about 8 jew there of varying sizes and a couple snapper in the 60s over the past 24 months. It fishes better with minimal run as the current can rip through there. Baitfish like herring schools also show up on the sounder. If they aren’t around it get pretty quiet. I think the combination of eddies, a good dropoff into the channel, is a good mix. When i caught the jewie in the video, there was also a bit of boat traffic around.

[@lisaoc679]

great fish, lives to fight another day!

[@potatoesGDITB]

Thanks Lisa. He sprung out of my grips moment i put him in the water so he had a bit of kick left

[@farcanalfishing]

Put up a big fight! Nice jewie mate

[@potatoesGDITB]

Cheers mate. Thats for sure my biggest.

[@26374748564637648475]

Nice vid mate. What kind of tinny have you got? Love your setup

[@potatoesGDITB]

Hey mate its an Anglapro Chaser 454 pro with a yamaha 60.
