SURFACE COD, MANGROVE JACKS AND FLATHEAD

Couldn't ask for a better day weather wise and there are still a few Mangrove Jacks getting around despite the cooler water temps. Had a great experience as a big Black Spot Cod followed my surface lure right out to the kayak and took it right next to me. Plenty of good Flathead getting around this time of year and they dont mind the cooler water. I've been playing around with the drone and some different camera angles to try break up all the head cam footage so hopefully it adds some value to the videos. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.

[@adsyak]

Some top fish there Dan. Nice cod on surface! Have done a few nice feeds from cod in the past.

[@HardYakkaFishingKayaker]

Yeah they say the Black Spot cod is better than the Gold Spot Cod. Still have some fish so have just been out tagging the last few trips.

[@adsyak]

I'm not too racist when it comes to fish. They're all fish and have their own taste. Tailor the preparation to the fish.

[@HardYakkaFishingKayaker]

Yeah that's it mate.

[@boofbitefishing222]

[@sattlepop]

Great video. That cod take was great to watch. How do you transport the PA?

[@HardYakkaFishingKayaker]

On a trailer or on the rough tracks i load it on the roof racks.

[@sattlepop]

I have just ordered one. I am hoping Do you use a t loader for the roof rack loading? I am tossing up between that and the strong arm.

[@RocketsFishingAdventures]

Only had to watch to 2.37 to get a like from me...you know I'm a sucker for a good surface hit!
