Summer reel SCREAMERS!

G'day Fisho's, this week I head out chasing a few Summer Reel Screamers solo in my boat. The plan is to tow a spread of skirts around and see what I will take a liking to them. After a bit of a slow start one of the lures gets bit and the reel starts to howl in protest! I may not have caught a heap of fish, but the ones I did catch were very much worth the effort! This sort of fishing is exactly why I love our summer fishery! Hope you enjoy the episode!

Hahah cheers mate, yeah it’s a bit of drama but bloody good fun! Hahah yeah Shauno is never happy when he misses a trip! 🤣🍻🍻

[@jedtaylor3551]

Sam......up in the great lakes hear in the States they run "Planer boards" for a spread they crank out and have clips like outriggers seems like it would give you the same or greater reach as a full scale offshore fisherman kind of like your cast nest that open at the top nothing like that here and nothing the size of what you are throwing but then we will never get a chance to fish for anything like you have within sight of land and it is a good day with that dray screaming in the background

Since two years I live in north-east Thailand, so I miss the ocean fishing too much, I am a bit jealous of you!!

[@Antipodean33]

2 marlin single handed, don't know anyone who has done that. I've never caught a marlin, but keeping the boat moving forward when you've got em close makes sense, they seem very relaxed.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

It’s a bit of fun and drama that’s for sure, yeah if you keep them going forward they definitely don’t freak out as much... until your grab their nose!

Love yah videos mate just starting to do a bit of trolling this year for a marlin very helpful info , why do you run a top shot of mono ? Just for a bit of strech ? I will be trolling with braid aswell cheers mik

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Oh awesome mate, good luck! hope you get a couple 👌👌👌 yeah the Mono is for a bit of stretch and shock absorption when they go crazy and jump all over the place 👌👌

[@adrianfield7126]

Hey Sammy, What knots are you using to go from Braid to Top Shot and from Top Shot to 100lb. Also your knot of choice to attach the swivel. I know it is a lot of question. Just beginning to gear up for Game fishing from doing mainly lightweight stuff

[@oceanrambo]

bloody awsome mate, great catch, im freediving in the morning i cant wait,just curious how far out were you trolling ?

[@danieltodd22]

target appropriate T-shirt. Nice

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

Only you could go so casually for a troll and get 2 marlins just like that mate LOL. So close to 50k subs!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahaha well you weren’t going to do it so I had too! 🤣🤣 getting very close now 🤗🤗

[@SC-ld2tb]

Nice day solo Sammy. Was wondering if you use the same outfits (24kg) for yellowfin out wider or typically use bigger gear?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

G’day mate, cheers! Yeah I have used them for yellowfin before, but I would probably opt for a larger outfit if I was chasing them specifically. Just because you never know how big the next one might be or if you hook a blue marlin or something 👍

[@MrLoryz]

Do the lures come rigged with mono or fluorocarbon and what size is the trace

[@jakelencher817]

is your ocean always that smooth, because we were lucky yesterday that we had a day that smooth.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Definitely not mate, most of the time it’s quiet rough, just have to pic the weather right 👍👍

[@dax3986]

Hi bro that is very interesting for me in what region do you fishing in this video ??

[@Shooting_the_Breeze]

Absolutely loving your videos. New boat owner and new subscriber. Where did you get your adjustable rod holders ?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching! Got those rod holders online they are Reelax branded 👍👍

[@affliction1599]

I’ve seen a lot of these boats most have signature series on the bow railing what brand is it ? Is it a poly or fibreglass boat ? How do they go on moderate to rough conditions ?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

This is a Sea Hunt mate, great boat in my opinion. Handle the seas well if you drive to the conditions 👌👌

[@hushus30]

Where did you get the adjustable rod holders??? Great video buddy!!!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Got them online mate. They are reelax branded 👍👍

[@MrArcherloyboy]

Hey Sammy, do you have the safety cable connected to you in case you fall out? Or not really possible in your boat? Cheers

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate, nah I don’t. It would be hard to move around the boat with it attached. You’ll see I’m wearing a bumbag inflateable life vest as well as a PLB just in case I fall in 👍🍻🍻

[@MrArcherloyboy]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing ahh true, cheers for the reply, just wouldn’t want the boat driving itself to China 😬😬

[@dan.bennett420]

what speed do you troll at for light tackle

[@jasonnguyen170]

I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

[@christurner68]

Sammy, where did you get your bait board tackle station from? Cheers.

[@smokeydokey11]

Hey Sammy do marlin eat well at all??

[@mitchdixon2631]

Wicked vid mate, gotta ask though how come you were running right hand set up if you’re a left hand usually? I know you might be ambidextrous however is there any reasoning behind the right hand set up? Also... where’s the beer in tackle talk?!?! Haha

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate 🍻🍻 Left handed is my preference, but left handed game reels are almost impossible to find. So I end up just switching back and forth between different styles of fishing! Hahah yeah I had no cold ones left! Did a fridge restock and celebrated after 👌👌

[@MrJoshP]

Epic video Sammy. What are your thoughts on teasers?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate, teasers work well if you have a few sets of hands on the boat, but for fishing solo I generally don’t run them. Just another thing I have to pull in after a hook up. I do use them occasionally for mackerel and things like that, but only if I’m really trying to make something happen👍

[@waynemee8920]

How much fuel am i looking at? I'm same location and same motor. Maybe bit more water drag but very close to your rig. Probably should have mentioned your PLB in that.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Depends how long you stick it out for Wayne, I have used just over 200L in a day before but I did over 300km for the day. A good morning session until lunch I’d use about 70-90L total depending on conditions. Yeah I should have mentioned that and the life jacket 🤦‍♂️
