[@paullobwein1632]

Hey Rob! Welcome back. Good to see you out again doing what you do best from the boat. I started watching now but I will watch the rest in the morning and enjoy it more after only getting 5 minutes in.

Great work mate, great job on the snaps and maori, around how shallow were you fishing? shame about the first few big ones but nice to see some boated, if you don't want them flapping around and slowly dying I'd brain spike them as soon as they come overboard, up to you though keep it up bro👌

[@robbymillsfishing5290]

Thanks Ja, fishing 20-25m, I have a permanent brain spike set up on the boat, sometimes I’ll use it, I had a big bleed out bin on board so I wasn’t too worried about them,

[@crikeymacca]

Nice to see you back filming mate. Are you using swivels to hang your hooks?

[@robbymillsfishing5290]

Cheers mate, I run a swivel between my hooks, but not usually on the top hook to leader,

[@darrynball697]

What sort of length leader you running Robbie for the whole Pilli’s?

[@robbymillsfishing5290]

I usually run about a 3 meter wind on leader to a swivel, then a leader about a meter long with a running sinker and hooks

[@davidw587]

Hey mate. Another cracker video with some nice fish! Do you only fish un-weighted when there is no current? Every time I’m up at cape Moreton I’ve got massive sinkers on trying to get to the bottom without running 50m sideways. Any tips? Cheers

[@robbymillsfishing5290]

You really have to be at your spot first light, just make sure there is a good show of fish on your sounder, yeah if it looks calm enough try unweighted first to see if you can hit your bottom area easy enough, otherwise upgrade your sinker just enough so your bait just wofs down looking as natural as possible, but the biggest key to success for early morning is being on your spot first light, thats when your better quality smarter big fish will be feeding

[@robbymillsfishing5290]

If you have current, keep backing up on your spots in reverse and upgrade your sinker to suit, but still fish it as light as you can, in an out of reserve will keep you in the strike zone for longer,

[@davidw587]

Thanks for the help mate. Will try that next week when the wind buggers off. And you’re not a fan of paternoster rigs? Just running ball sinker works best out there? Love the videos 👍🏽 Might catch you out there one day

[@robbymillsfishing5290]

@@davidw587 hey mate yeah definitely always try to use a running ball sinker over a paternoster, a lot more natural looking, I only use a paternoster if the current is racing and cant hit the bottom, But just still use as small snapper lead as possible and 1 dropper,

How deep was the water?

I reckon it could have been a Spanish maccy
