The bigger the river, The BIGGER THE FISH!

Ahoy legends, this week I head out with good mate of mine Nick Whyte from Tech Fishing chasing a fish called 'Fred'. Thats right, we're fishing the mighty Brisbane River for the even mightier Threadfin Salmon. These fish can be the bane of many anglers' existence as they seemly disappear into thin air while following them or in other instances hide in plain sight yet refuse to open their mouths for any lure or bait! We certainly have our work cut out for us this trip as we battle not only the fish, but the weather and relentless boat traffic as well. Hope you enjoy the episode!

Book a session at the chiropractors after every scope session, talk about getting outside to get away from technology and then stand there looking at a screen for hrs on end

[@willkitching]

Well done fellas, and nice vid Sammy. Threadfin are so cool, makes me want to get out and chase a few now! Good stuff 👍🎣

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Into them Will! Bloody good fun they are! 🍻🍻

[@tfalani3861]

incredible to watch

[@terrytailor]

How good was that! Really enjoyed the video and a little more insight into a fish that still eludes me. Loved the Live Sight explanations Nic. Thanks.

[@mrwellington2613]

Went out with Whitey to sort my sounder out great bloke thanks to Sammy just haven’t had time to get back out and put my new skills to test

[@cyprianmilimu2152]

Well done guys..

[@pearcebrown1043]

Mint video mate always love seeing Nick!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

🙌🙌🙌 cheers for watching mate 🍻

[@Pabloeskiibra22]

Just took the young fella out for a day on the water he cleaned up. Can’t say the same about his old man but 😂 another ripper Sammy

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah at least one of you had fun 😉😂😂

[@Brisbanetinnyadventures]

Awesome! Nice fishing! Very inspiring... 😊

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Appreciate it mate 🍻🍻🍻

[@smee103]

What an amazing fishing session thanks for sharing mate

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks for tuning in! 🍻🍻

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Well done guys! Nicks da man!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

He can and will fish the big fella 👌👌

[@A.CFishingextreme]

love it keep the amazing vids up

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate 👍👍

[@goodcitizen64]

Tight lines!! Great looking fish!!!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate 🍻🍻

[@ordinary.artistry]

Killer! Wish I could've been there for day 2. Whytey's the man.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Can and will find the fish the big fella 👌

[@ChrisPercy7447]

Great video I really noticed the new camera man and camera quality a great touch looking forward to future projects

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching 🍻🍻

[@gmoriano]

Can listen to the big unit everyday. If only I put into place all his tips each trip………champ!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah yeah we all would be better fisherman that’s for sure!

[@jordangrant6219]

Whitey is an absolute gentleman, I had the pleasure of doing some sounder training with him recently in Coffs and it was worth every cent. Great to see him in a Sammy vid again! Gotta say though, that style of fishing just wouldn't do it for me I think, I do spend a LOT of time looking at my sounder but give me the blue water and a slow pitch jig to d in my hand any day over standing on the deck looking at a screen in the river. Great video though and I would love to come up and catch a thready one day

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

It’s not for everyone, this style, I quite enjoy though. Nice change of pace from My usual Content. I do love my blue water fishing though… 😉🍻🍻

[@jimf279]

Cheers Mate

[@jordanhedrick2018]

I keep cat fish for crab bait. Works absolutely amazing

[@FishingWithMichaelTruong]

Wicked video boys :D well done!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate 🍻

[@DCA001TUBE]

Did you guys tag that cat fish🤣 Nice show guys, I had no idea there were fish like that in the river, challenge accepted.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahaha nah the catty didn’t get tagged or even brought onto the boat for that matter 😂😂

[@aaronnunn5240]

I think he means the thread fin, because they both had a wound in the same spot.

[@trailsscales]

Saw you out there on that boat that first morning Sammy, didn't realise it was you until I just saw this pop up, we had a tough morning with only one little thread but glad you got stuck into a good one!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate! Yeah was a nice day on the water that one. Bloody hot though!!

[@othnielnichitean6580]

Nice 👍

[@MickH60]

Gold prospecting..! Nice.....😜

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah you know it!

[@russellclement2058]

Hi Sammy ,, those things you mentioned are available , they are used in the UK,, takes the bait to the breakers , I just found them,, I did a search on KZbin for Under water drones,

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Well there you go! 😂😂

[@aceganter4478]

Yeah boys I caught one of these in Rockhampton when I was younger 21 years ago 😊😊😊

[@mungbean84]

Plenty up in Rocky now that the netters have been booted.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Nicely done mate 💪💪💪

[@hamcoc]

Gonna have a crack with the oldman 2moro. Would love to get whitey on my boat.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Good luck mate, hope you smack a couple! 👌

[@MrAcuta73]

What a wild fish! Definitely gonna fight, that tail! Damn! Definitely not a salmon though, I've seen a few of those. 😂 Funny how names bleed over across species. I guess we humans aren't that imaginative.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah yeah the names seem to be common across the globe but all apply to different species! Wild hey! 🍻🍻🍻

[@jamesnguyen6779]

Remote Control Fish trap would clean up. Sometimes 100s of threadies stacked under those ships.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Imagine!! Would be a game changer! 👌👌

[@RL-kp3ud]

Do you reckon whiteys sounder set up would be able to tell you guys apart if you both swam under it?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

😂😂😂 of course! Whytey is the one with the beard… oh wait 😂

[@Mark-ux7yh]

We have a very similar species here in the Philippines but man it's crazy just how yellow/gold they are

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Amazing colours hey!!

[@matthomas6575]

I’ve got some 75mm hard body vibes am I chance with them

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Potentially mate, they are probably a bit more suited to bass though and might be. Bit too light to get down in the deeper water 👍

[@Timbo_Breambo]

How deep were you guys fishing

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

14-16m deep mate 👍

[@mattyboy.1]

do u think i could put 15 lb braid on my 2 to 4 kg for some little ones landbased on low drag

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I think the rod would be too light personally mate. Might need something in the 3-6kg range to do the job 👌

[@mattyboy.1]

thanks mate@@SammyHitzkeFishing

[@Caliban_Cam]

Phred phinned Phsalmon

[@user-qs8xw4jj5j]

don't search This website on Google (Perfectbub,com)... Because here available all types of fishing details and tricks.

[@maxfish4770]

So good. As for tech being cheating, should we still should be using hand lines or spears?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah good point! May as well use the technology hey 👌👌

[@Thumbinspoolsfishingadventure]

This makes me want to fish brissy bad!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Come up and have a go mate, plenty here once you find them 👍

[@billurban8165]

Not really new just more common now the average angler has a scope

[@akcellr8r75]

That's damn criminal letting all those Threadfin back. Better eating than Barra or Mackerel any day.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I got plenty of fish in the fridge at the moment already 👌👌
