Great video! My favorite style of fishing, the surf beach, no one around. Catch the bait at your feet and put the rod in the rod holder & wait! Nothing wrong with the old pipi at all! I like to catch pipis and beach worms where I fish. Doesn't get much better!

[@The_Pub_]

Had quite a few Crab bites on toes doin that in the 70's...When using Pipi's'' Use some stocking.. or Supa Glue!! Best fish caught on such a hard bait to maintain on the hook..

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Haha yeah good bait 👍

[@grantthomas1818]

Good to see you back...Happy New Year...love your vids...fresh bait...can't beat it...cheers.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks happy new year cheers 👍

Nice one Sticky, I really enjoy your videos.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate cheers 👍

[@markmay184]

Good stuff mate. Some nice fish there, especially the Tarwhine 👍🏻Which are a better fish than bream (fight better, easier to fillet, more flesh and taste better). Pippi’s are a dynamite bait fished fresh (alive) from the beach you picked them from. We don’t get as many up my way (Ballina/EvansHd) these days, mostly due to Pros raking the beach for them, and out-of-towners coming down from Brisbane/Goldy and illegally taking them home to eat. They (pippi’s) made an appearance, the most I’ve seen in years, back in November, me and a mate had few good sessions on the Tarwhine, bream and big dart before they were gone again 🤷‍♂️. I just collect enough for a session, stick a handful in my bait bucket and leave the rest with my gear. Then fish a gutter, to bait up I take one out, smash the shell on the Alvey star/drag nut remove the flesh then on the hook - dynamite. Just for stamps, and anyone reading this : Pippi’s are a very ordinary bait, Frozen 🥶. The bag limit is Fifty, and it’s illegal to take them past the High Tide mark from the beach you found them (you can’t take them home)

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Yeah pipis are good bait tarwhine love them some days are hard to find them here too but been heaps lately yeah can't take them here ever but I just find a few why iam there to use for bait on the beach thanks mate cheers 👍

[@Lookafterwealth]

Great comparison video. Worth with with both

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks cheers 👍

[@stephenkandros2162]

Another great session👌. I usually just smash the shell on the bolt on the back of my alvey…. King tides are bringing in the stonkers

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Yeah that does the job or use the sinker i like a knife cause it spits the pipis in to thinner baits thanks cheers 👍

[@mysticalsky251]

Love your vids mate.👍 Always something different. Got a get me a bait pump now.😄

Thanks mate can't go wrong with yabbies Cheers 👍

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate will do a bonito catch and cook when there come this season 👍

[@finn1951]

I use pipis for blackfish and do well at least when I used to go fishing , Thanks Again !!.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Yeah pipis are good bait alot of different species will eat them 👍

[@tjgavan]

Thanks mate great vid. Have you ever had any luck on the whiting off the beach with lures? ESP hard bodies? Thanks.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate never try hardbody lure on beach for whiting only soft plastics Berkley gulp 2 inch worms came colour caught good whiting 👍

[@davidsheldonfishing9726]

Nice fishing Sticky.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks cheers 👍

[@samsfishingchannel8573]

Nice video mate , what time of the day you were out there fishing and was it during the high tide or low tide or after it ? Cheers

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate I fished from about 7am to 9am last 2 hours of run in tide I like to fish on the beach cheers 👍

[@Tastewithnewdrinks]

Amazing fishing.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks cheers 👍

[@robertmuscatello884]

Great vid again Sticky!, I don't think I've seen you use beach worms, are they not part of your bait arsenal? Lots of others swear by them, especially for whiting.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate have use them in a few videos before but I can't catch them so don't use them much something I need to learn catching them as they are good bait 👍

[@robertmuscatello884]

@@stickyfishyfishing I would like to learn as well as they are quite expensive to buy!

[@peterm6199]

Fresh bait wins!!! Happy new year Sticky! Have you ever fished lures off the beach ??

[@stickyfishyfishing]

I fish lures off beach for tailor and salmon mostly have caught a few bream and whiting on berkley gulp 2 inch worms off beach before but will do more lures off beach happy new year cheers 👍

@@stickyfishyfishing too easy mate, I like learning new rigs, especially from a pro like you 😁

[@marcelchaloupka]

Very cool. What size and model is the Alvey reel? Is it a 600? Also the rod with cork grips that doesn’t look like a low mount, what is it?

[@stickyfishyfishing]

All the gear I use it in the description below 👍

[@marcelchaloupka]

@@stickyfishyfishing so the reel is similar to the current Adventure 50GZ.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

@@marcelchaloupka yeah mate very similar mine just a old model 👍

[@davidmcnamara7489]

Enjoy your vids as always. I’m not sure this is a fair comparison? Maybe the pippie juice attracts the fish, but then they ping the moving yabbie? Maybe you should get Shane to fish just pippies, and you fish the yabbie, and see who catches what? And, maybe compare to soft plastics too? I find yabbies are a bit too soft a bait and you lose a lot without hook up. What do you think? Also, do you get many tangles with that rig? Regards, David (the Skeptical Angler) 🤓

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Thanks mate yeah you could be right there mate yeah maybe I fish two rods next time one with yabbies other with pipis yabbies stay on ok if you don't cast them to hard little fish pick them of easily but big fish just take them straight down will do different challenges with bait and lures in the future cheers 👍

[@mritsme9901]

I’ll choose the rod Sticky is holding whichever bait that is.

[@SaMaNtHa.2023]

Can you find pipes at every batch in Australia?

[@stickyfishyfishing]

I always find it easier to use the bait that's at your feet lol

Yabbies every day of the week except they don't stay on the hook that well in the surf. Live beach worms out fish both of them.

Yabbie are good as long as you do cast to hard they say on good but yeah worm last longer on the hook and work very good 👍

i think its easier to just to smash 2 shells together one always breaks

Yeah that does the job mate I just like to use knife cause it splits the pipis nicely 👍

Pippis are good tucker if you cook them right.

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Yeah never tryed them cooked properly only when cooked my self didn't go much on them 👍

[@BradGryphonn]

@@stickyfishyfishing I haven't eaten them in years but keen to go foraging again sometime. Definitely not as good as oysters or crab LOLZ

[@WadeBaune]

No green freezer peas yet?

[@stickyfishyfishing]

Haha what do mean peas for bait ?

[@WadeBaune]

@@stickyfishyfishing not joking. There’s a few species of fish here in the saltwater that mainly eat seaweed. Freezer peas work for bait to catch them. Not sure about where your at though. I believe you have a species that eats seaweed as well. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work there. Nothing beats a sand shrimp here(yabbies) though. Clams(pippies) work here as well just not as good as sand shrimp. Thank you for sharing.

[@mritsme9901]

Ever eaten a live yabbie. Wouldn’t recommend it, they are pretty ordinary.

Lol 🤣 nah I haven't 👍
