Softbaiting Tutorial and Tips for Beginners | Jet Ski Fishing NZ

[@fisheatrepeat]

Great video Dave!! Absolutely perfect for beginners... or noob softbaiters like myself

[@FishoDavo]

Cheers bro, after I figured out this method was good for first timers I thought I had to share it

[@kiwikev5775]

Thanks for sharing your great knowledge and tips. Nice to know that I'm not the only one who adopts the dragging technique most of the time!

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks for watching, yeah dragging has always worked better for me, and a great way to teach beginners. If i find the right territory like a fishy looking reef then I'd use the cast forward method

[@chris_leskovsek]

good stuff always David! gotta love a good chill morning sesh!

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks for watching Chris, it's a great start to the day

[@otklfnz]

[@FishoDavo]

Absolutely bro, gotta share the knowledge and experiences

When is the right time to engage the bail arm? 😊

[@kennyg5518]

Makes realize how much I need fish grippers

[@FishoDavo]

Yeah they are super handy!

[@whateutube]

thanks for making these videos. What is the white beed on top of the hook for?

[@FishoDavo]

It's just to protect the eye of the rod incase I wind the hook in too fast

[@CatchFishingTackle]

Nice vid bro

[@junz4872]

Nice tutorial mate, I am new to fishing, I followed all the techniques you taught but still got nothing, very frustrated. could you also make some videos about how to find a good fishing spot? I am also in AKL, but not quite experienced with fishing locations at all

[@FishoDavo]

Where abouts do you fish? Are you on land, boat, kayak?

[@junz4872]

@@FishoDavo I fish on jet ski, last time I went to the noises but didn’t get any😂

[@FishoDavo]

@junz4872 should be OK fishing around there, I find 5inch softbaits in curly tail style works best for me. 8-12m with 3/8oz jighead

[@junz4872]

@@FishoDavo thanks mate, definitely will try next time!

[@FishoDavo]

@junz4872 feel free to msg me on Instagram or Facebook, can send you photos of what jigs to use, spots to try

[@Hooksleft-1]

Great content. I subbed. Wasn't expecting to match that voice with your face.

[@FishoDavo]

Hi Mike, thanks for watching and cheers for the sub!

[@Jbabnz]

Great vid. Thanks for posting. What size clips are you using?

[@FishoDavo]

Hi Dave, I use size 0 for softbaiting. Size 00 for Ajing, size 1 for Super Light Jigging

[@hiltonjohnson]

Fantastic content Dave, and such a great way to impart knowledge. I've found that this technique works really well for Snapper. Do you have subtle variations to this if targeting Trevally, for instance? Thinking pelagics in particular.

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks for your kind comments, I haven't learnt how to catch Trevally on softbait yet, but if you check out Glen Cox (GC Jetski Fishing) youtube channel, he succesfully targets trevally on softbait a lot

[@hiltonjohnson]

@@FishoDavo Thanks mate, will check him out. And well done again on a great video.

[@MW-yp8zc]

Where in auckland is this bro? Nice info always wanted to try softbaiting might have to give it a go

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks for watching, this is just out in rangitoto channel

[@1stPlays]

Hey Davo, what were the clips that you were using for fast change outs of your softies?

[@FishoDavo]

I think they were the BKK ones

[@lolNololshittalk]

Great content for softbait newbie like me. Many thanks!!!

[@verdonkelliher5062]

what was that tool you used to hold the fish with?

[@FishoDavo]

Berkley Big Fish Lip Gripper, make sure you get a good quality one if you do go buy one

[@sparky8886]

Whats the idea behind the green bead??

[@FishoDavo]

To protect the rod tip from the clip

[@joedennehy386]

If i may say so, casting ahead of the drift with lighter jigheads catches way bigger fish, the longer it takes to reach the bottom the better. Each to their own but 4 legal fish in 4 man hours fishing says a bit. Clips and beads dont help either. Your leader looks heavy, 15 lb fluorocarbon? Hope you dont mind the comments, good luck.

[@FishoDavo]

Yup I agree with you, I do cast forward softbaiting too. This was more aimed at new comers to softbaiting

[@ashleebabbington808]

HI DAVE ARE YOU USING 5 INCH

[@FishoDavo]

Yes 5 inch jerkshad
