Can You Catch Fish With No Scent? (MONSTER hookup!)

[@luvyamumz]

I love watching your videos! I’m a terrible fisherman but at least when I watch your videos I can see what success is 😂😂

[@ShroomFishing]

Thank you! I have a lot of fruitless sessions but I fish hard so sometimes I get lucky with a special catch. I’m glad she swam away strong 💪

[@feartheduck6664]

Well played! Trophy fish! Interesting result as no scent didn't seem to impact however you might have cast a few thousand times more than usual!

[@ckingoner6675]

I love the new animated moves you have added. Makes me laugh when its rock on point 😂

[@ShroomFishing]

Thank you, I love em 😂😂

[@trevorbennett2178]

Lovely fish mate 👍 Great to see the big ones still around. Not sure about fish scent. I've caught fish with scent and without scent. Maybe the taste on the scented lure gets them back for a second bite. I can't tell. Fish scent might be an old wives tale or brilliant marketing 😀 Cheers 👍

[@joeimbesi99]

Great job..SHE was a monster. My best 36" near 7" across the head. I put her back in Vaucluse waters..Was to much of a snob!

[@BestuffM]

Oh my gosh shrooman thats a beaaasstt flathead on the light gear, love it!!! Trophy fish like the big jewie you caught under the bridge, bloodworm slim swimz,da bomb 🎉

[@ShroomFishing]

Yeahhhh! Thanks Goodonetwo! It got the blood pumping 😎👍

[@BestuffM]

@@ShroomFishing got my own sea mullet this morning on the diawa version of the slim swimz. 40cm, might have jagged it tbh, got 2 bream, 1 flounder, 1 yellow eye mullet, 1 sea mullet total.

[@ShroomFishing]

Very productive session, excellent stuff

[@hiltonmccowage9436]

Nice work. You played the fish like a champion. Definitely a flathead to get excited about. Be proud

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Hilton, I was worried that the leader would wear through eventually but luckily it held. I was ecstatic when it swam free

[@kit_c]

So good to see that monsters can be caught on light gear, land based, and with a lure that isn’t the size of a legal whiting! There’s hope for us all~ 🎉

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Kit, I know what you mean. Everything geared towards big flathead these days are humongous sized swimbaits and such

[@davidshaul5265]

In my opinion big lures for flatties are detrimental to actually catching them when land based . Deeper water may be different , but not land fishing . 👍✔🎣

[@kit_c]

Great! I’m not missing out on much then.

[@justinadams5159]

I haven’t watched t.v. for at least 15 years, why? Because of you tube and you amazing trailblazers with yr go pros and fishing channels. Well done Shroom, what a great fish. Will you, though use scent next time out?😊

[@niallcameron6433]

Gotta love getting into a good fish in the mid winter - makes all the punishing days worth it. That's an awesome flatty mate well done

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Niall, always a shock and welcome surprise

[@Stephenmuller2025]

Awesome video Shroom! Just a quick question, how do you find fishing on ferry wharves? I find that every time I send out a live yakka, the ferry always tangles me and the lines get snapped and tangled with the motor. Any Ideas to help? How do you cope with them? It's as if you just can't cast them out and you just have to drop them under.

[@Zac_kingy]

Hey shroom, where abouts in parramata river is good for lure and bait fishing

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Zac! I'm liking the bays right now, and the wharves for bait fishing

[@Zac_kingy]

Absolute monster! Well done with light gear man! Keep it up :-)

Very good flattie and great angling skill and patience to land it.

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Cubesy, nothing quite like expecting the leader to pop at any moment but somehow holdin on haha

[@SpottedKusKus]

Love your work Shroom! Great watching as always!!!!❤

[@ShroomFishing]

Thank you!!

[@ham6809]

A really good fish Shroom. Scent is nice but I often fish without and have good success. It's all in the action, no wobble, no gobble 😆

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Sam! I like using scent, but there is no substitute for a good actioned lure 👍

[@AndyM4a1]

also any recommendation of lure type and brand for threadfin salmon， thanks Shroom.

[@adamimberti6948]

Late to the party but great fish Shroom. Fishing that spot that i'm guessing a lot of people avoid seems to have paid off.

[@alft69]

Awesome catch mate! My wife caught a very similar sized fish at the same spot last year. Wonder if it’s the same one?😅

[@ShroomFishing]

Thank you Alf! I wouldn’t be surprised if it was, I can’t imagine a fish like that is adapted to moving long distances 😎

[@davidshaul5265]

Been waiting ! She's here now . 👍✔🎣

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks David, sit back and enjoy!

[@timeandattendancesolutions]

Good work Shroom... probably goes to show that scent is less important on these ambush predators.

[@ShroomFishing]

Thanks Jim! Goes to show scent isn’t the only reason why a fish might hit a lure 👍

[@austinshearer4472]

Hi shroom it's me from the other vid I commented on just want to say keep doing what your doing

[@markrigg6623]

Scent isn't " cheating", but adding it contradicts the whole reason lure fishing was invented. You take the olfactory senses out of the equation so you feel more satisfaction when you catch them! So you're missing that feeling.That's what "lure" means - it's visual only. A guy I fish with stopped using scent when he watched me catch as many fish doing things properly with no scent.

[@ShroomFishing]

True Mark, you still gotta catch the fish and make em eat it at the end of the day
