Biting like CRAZY! I find the answer to an age old fishing question!

Ahoy Fisho's! This week I head out to find the answer to an age old fishing question! Will bait out-fish a lure in the rodholder?!? Luckily the fish are biting like crazy with not only large numbers of fish coming aboard but also some cracking sized fish as well! What a day! Even the weather was bloody awesome! I hope you enjoy the episode, it was a pleasure sharing some amazing fishing with you all!

G'day Sammy, Watched you for the last 2 years. Your videos prompted me to buy a boat and get out amongst it. Drove into the car park of the boat ramp the morning of this video to take my old man out. Spotted the Paj (Paj gets the Vag still makes me laugh) for the first time. Got a few pearlies and cleaned them up at the ramp thinking you might be on your way in. Spotted the wide spread just as we finished up but didn't want to bother you as I imagine you get held up a lot. Thanks for all the videos over the years. Learnt a lot and you probably don't realise how much joy you bring to tragic fishos like myself. 4pm Sundays use to be NRL but not any more. Went online to buy some merch to support your cause...would happily spent more if more was available. Thanks again mate 🤙🏻🍻

[@DCA001TUBE]

Had the direct opposite affect on me, sold my boat and just watch someone who can catch fish now:)

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Oh that’s awesome mate! Glad you guys have been getting out there and smacking a few as well! Really appreciate the support, Make sure you come say g’day next time!! See you out on the water 🍻🍻🍻

[@AlohaMilton]

Had my best day surfcasting today, it was drizzling and the bite was insane nearly ever cast got hit, caught a legal Halibut and released it (California here) and lost a bigger one trying to figure out how to land it on the rocks I was fishing from. Leopard Shark about 4-5 feet long nearly spooled me, saw Corbina jumping all over the place. It was freaking awesome and Sammy you kept me inspired and trying with your vids. Thanks man, fishing is awesome!

Sammy, Can you make a video on your sonar setup? Would be cool to see some insights on how you use your sonar to locate the fish....

Very well done Sammy! Great video as always mate, they are one of my favourite species to chase on bait and lures, and of course to eat. I had a session just like this recently with Dad off the Gold Coast, I wouldn't be surprised if it was on the same day you filmed this. They were going off their nut, every single drop was just getting smashed by really good quality Snapper! Keep it up mate, tight lines and well done for out-fishing Rodney!!

Hey Sammy I'm going with Rodney for best fish overall mate 🎣👍

Size 1 ball sinker running with snell rig you would catch every snapper with in a 10km radius

[@jordangrant6219]

Yep, especially with whole yakka or a big slab of slimey!

I don’t reckon that would make it too the bottom here. But it’s on the right track 👌

[@garyspinks3673]

Hi Sammy love the videos as I'm watching I'm always asking I wonder what depth you are fishing in ,is there any chance you could add that in your tackle talk or on the screen. Keep up the great work. Gaz

[@nathankirkwood9744]

3oz floating rig, would have to be 50 fathoms (also hooking a kingfish ) so I would bet 75-85m

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate! Nathan is pretty much spot on 👌 I’ll Keep that in mind for future vids 👍👍

[@Spineykidner]

Great vid as usual champ. The Shimano Tyrnos that you use for trolling are they 2 speed or single speeds. Trying to decide which one, ta.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I use single speed models mate 👍

[@Spineykidner]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing Champion. That’s what I was thinking off going for. Thanks for taking the time to reply 👍👍

[@pallasxo8222]

when trolling for mackerel, or whatever, how do you keep your trolling baits at a specific depth? I live in BC, Canada, (on Vancouver Island) I salmon fish, and using electric Scotty Downriggers is the way to go here. I troll at 2 MPH, depth is at 30 to 60 feet on the downrigger,, & I usually fish all summer.(filling 2 freezers). +15 to 30 Lb (15 kilo) Chinook and + 8 lb Coho Salmon, Halibut, and Dungenous Crab. If you actually reply, I have a very helpful bit of advice (hint) for you. -Hey Dude, I am a huge fan of yours. / Pallas ( ALSO Living The Dream)

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate! Usually the weight of your trolling head dictate the depth it sits. Very hard to control it though to be honest. I’ve never fished Canada. Looks awesome though 🍻🍻

[@zacn2817]

What a close competition! Where do you get your pillies from mate? I'm sick of the servo pillies turning to mush Cheers

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Those ones were from gardener fisheries at rainbow beach mate. Very good quality ones 👌👌
