Bad Weather Good Fishing

fishing the last 2 hours of run in tide off the beach catching whiting and tarwhine using live yabbies for bait
ROD - shimano power surf 1202L 4-7kg
REEL - alvey 500b
LINE - 9lb schneider klear line
HOOK - size 4 longshank baitholder hooks
SINKER - size 2 star sinker
BAIT - live yabbies

It's the finer points which make a difference, Ricky - pulling the yabby tail up above the eye of the hook so it doesn't slide down, adjusting your trace - a longer trace which hangs back and wafts around below the sinker creating a more natural presentation, knowing where to cast and working with the side sweep instead of against it, all equates to a successful outing while others go home scratching their heads, blaming the poor weather for their poor results. In 2017, you made me re-think how I fish and my consistent results off the rocks now speak for themselves. Thanks again, Ricky!!

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Yeah mate always pays to try different techniques sometimes a small change like a rig or position on the beach can do wonders thats why I like to share my information and knowledge to help people catch fish thanks Frank cheers 👍

Good tip about walking along the beach as the current pushes it sideways ,,,, it takes me an hour to get to a beach ,, many times I’ve left within 30mins because of beach problems , especially that ocean weed that gets wrapped in your line and it’s extremely hard to tear apart to untangle,,,,, love the horizon sky footage ,, that’s just as good as the fishing action

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate yeah beach fishing can be hit and miss sometimes the sweep can be bad along with the weed i try not to fish the beach in big swell i like the swell around 1m to 1.5m but 1.2 m is ideal cheers 👍

[@downunderfishing105]

Sure looks like your having fun

[@stickyfishyfishing]

All ways have fun fishing 👍

Nice one Ricky! Great catch. Tips are on point 👌 👌 👌

Thanks mate cheers 👍

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

You got a tasty feed there ! I dunno about you but i reckon bream and whiting that are caught off the beach taste so much better. Thanks for the fantastic video !

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Yeah nice feed yesh you are right there mate fish of the beaches taste alot cleaner for sure cheers 👍

[@derekhughes9274]

Who doesn't love a good feed of whiting!

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Whiting are great eating fish cheers 👍

Bad weather brings on huge fish

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Sure can at times mate 👍

[@nathansoutbackfishing]

@@stickyfishyfishing definitely I caught a huge snapper in a thunderstorm

[@markmay184]

Yeah some nice Tings there mate and none too shabby Tarwhine. I’m up the far Nth coast, beach fishing, or any other for the matter has been blown out (30kts + SSE) since Tuesday. Unless you find a very sheltered south spot, your only drama then is putting up with a very very wet a… ☔️

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate yeah conditions have been horrible lately got to try to fish early before the wind gets up if possible cheers 👍

[@markmay184]

@@stickyfishyfishing hey Ricky, speaking of changing rigs. Looks like ya using a T-knot for your droppers in the first rig. This is a quick and easy way to tie a dropper (on the second rig you showed) in a hurry down the beach kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6KWfIN3rruSosk

great session buddy love the tips with the rigs

Hey Sticky, ya gotta be happy with those size whiting any day of the week! Great stuff champ awesome video 👍🐟

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks yeah nice size whiting for a feed cheers 👍

[@hand0fb1ood]

Good stuff ricky, any chance you could do a summer time luderick session. I'm over catching resident estuary fish. And wanna catch em off the rocks more regularly 🤙🤙

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate will try to get a luderick vid done cheers 👍

[@MrComfyAustralia]

Did well mate. with the conditions weve had lately you scored well.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Cheers mate 👍

Very nice, where abouts are you fishing?

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks Stockton Beach 👍

[@danielwutfisho]

High swells and bad weather leaves 1 option for anglers.. The beach.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Yeah safest option is the beach cheers 👍

[@rhythmm860818]

I always questioned myself why you would not bother catching beach worms for bait , I guess those yabbies are just as good and reliably sourced. Did you go fishing yesterday??

[@stickyfishyfishing]

I can't catch beach worms lol🤣 And I find it easier to pump yabbies and yeah they work good no fishing yesterday cheers 👍

[@mnshots2036]

Nice one mate, good tip on the rig, I might try it out. I usually use a running ball sinker with 1 hook, it's a hit and miss at times. Were you casting into the middle of the gutter or on the edge of a sand bar?

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate yeah works good that rig i use i fish the breakers on the sand flats with a slight gutter not to deep 👍

[@paulminisini1436]

Awesome vid mate, always love to watch that Alvey spinning. Hey do ya reckon you do a vid on your tips for fillet whiting. I alway struggle to do it successfully. Thanks mate

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate yeah next time I get whiting I will show how to fillet them mate mite even do a catch and cook on whiting 👍

[@paulminisini1436]

Ahhhhh thankyou so much, that would be awesome. Love ya cooking and have done many of your dishes. Thankyou.

[@markhughes8005]

Nice ..remember ....what happened to the kings you were promising us you were chasing off the rocks brooo??

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate yeah haven't caught a king of the rocks in ages mate I have been trying just no luck hopefully I catch one soon this season cheers 👍

@@stickyfishyfishing We are all hoping for some, last time I hooked up a king off the stones was late december.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

@@markhughes8005 yeah I usually get the odd one that time of year spinning of the rocks for tuna but last season was no luck only little ones but in the boat 👍

[@jefflouis5658]

How do you manage to keep your yabbies alive? Mine only last 1/2 a day . I change water regularly but never last till the next morning to try ‘em again

[@stickyfishyfishing]

I go change the water just before dark then use a aerater over night keep the oxygen in the water 👍
