Hi Lowy, there's a Hot Tackle at Warners Bay

[@Lowysfishing]

That was a handy store when i worked at gateshead, i could swing by on my way home. Bit of the way now, most of the weekend im either fishing or editing or doing family stuff. Times very limited at moment. Stopped in at morriset hot tackle on my way home from fishing on Saturday but had to park the boat. Got what i needed but as always 🙌

[@ajlongworth69]

Lol bcf Cessnock is OK in a pinch but I've been buying online from hot tackle. Some cracking fish as usual mate. Fella I work with and I have been saying the same thing how shut-down the fish have been in the harbour and the lake. I went up the bay and caught Port Jackson's, wirra while searching for snapper just none about then I was thinking of packing up and going home when a container screemed off with my 6' plastic so the day ended bloody awesome and fresh tuna is delicious lol

[@Lowysfishing]

@@ajlongworth69 thats an awesome way to end the day mate. Makes the quiet part dissapear fast. Yer there just hit an miss sometimes with stock at most bcfs, just have to be there at the right time. Bn a very slow winter hopefully it fires up now 🤙🏻

Hey Lowy, another great video mate. Mate I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with. Firstly, do you find the Samaki vibes (and Jackalls) foul up a lot? Some days I just get constant foul ups as I retrieve. Any tips for stopping this happen? And second, what rod do you find is the most effective for feeling the vibration of the lure? Any favourites? Cheers mate, love the videos !!

[@Lowysfishing]

Cheers mate 👍 i find not letting them sink on really slack line helps reduce that foul up. So when i cast out an it hits the water i shut the bail arm so it sinks under tension. I like fast tapered graphite rods best for vibes. Im using a jackall bpm 7,3 rod atm and its great. Most graphite rods around 7 ft 4-10lb with a fast action will be nice vibing rods. I guess the difference in the more expensive rods is a bit better sensitivity and further casting. Hopefully this helps mate 👍

[@finno_0708]

@@Lowysfishing Legend, thanks mate. So same with the lifts off the bottom? Just make sure it falls back down under tension? That rod looks cracker, too :)

Awesome session fishing mate! Hey I've just bought some land in Nords Wharf and building and moving up from Sydney. What's the fishing like on the lake around there?

Hi Lowy luck was definitely with you got some good fish,and as usual some good tips.I totally agree with your comment about Hot Tackle always plenty of stock, colours and a wealth of information and you can always get what you want on line .delivery is quick and the pricing is always good! Keep your videos coming they are awesome thanks for all your time putting them together.Much appreciated

[@Lowysfishing]

Thanks so much mate its always nice to get some good feedback back on the videos. Alot of time and effort goes into them not only on the water but at home aswell. I always try to remember some tips along the way to help anyone out that may enjoy some useful information. An hot tackle is definitely by far the best around this area by miles 👍

[@aussfish9995]

That was a cracking session mate some times the Lake really turns it on 👊👊

[@Lowysfishing]

Thats fishing dave 🤙🏻

[@disco2td5]

Great video. I just moved up lake Macquarie in December and scouting around at the moment. Im land based for the moment but hope to change that soon. I have foud that BCF really lack in good fishing gear compared to 3 or 4 years ago. Hot tackle is about 30 mins from my place and will go there instead of BCF caust the service and available gear is way better.

[@Lowysfishing]

So true mate. I hate going in there only to find empty pegs and zero stock. An it can take weeks for them to get stuff in. Big place the lake but once u spend some time out there exploring its pretty good fishing.

[@RR-bm6od]

Once again Lowy great video. I've asked before but can't seem to find your reply. What Electric Motor you using.

Hi Lowy is that a Gopro 12 and when filming do you use looping mode I have metal detecting channel called Newy Detecting I use GoPro 12 just wondering if can stop and start the same video or how do you film between bites, once again great videos

[@Lowysfishing]

The head mount is an 11 an the fixed mount is a 12. I didnt use looping this episode but have done in all the others.

[@himderfella]

It's great to see someone like yourself enjoying fishing as much as you do. This is another top video from the Lowysfishing stable. An occasional reference to the water temperature, depth & view of your Lowrance are the only embellishments I suggest. Also, be sure the plugs in the back of your FF are tight. I killed my Hook2 by being overzealous with my attempts to clean out corrosion & Bradley Seeto's FF was irreparable because his plugs were not tight enough. Thanks for sharing.

[@Lowysfishing]

Nothings better than being out fishing, easy to have a good time on the water fish or no fish. Some good ideas there mate see if i can remember next time im out there 👍

[@SebGAdventures]

Andrew mate - your videos never fail to impress me! Great quality, great fishing and even better video commentary! Keep it up man, those fish were unreal - can’t believe we fished the same day with completely different results ahaha!! Thank so much for the shoutout - means the world coming from a legend like you!!

[@Lowysfishing]

Thanks heaps Seb, yer sometimes 1 area can fire an thats all it takes. When i used to fish bass comps no matter the conditions or how hard the fishing was, someone would always b catching fish an that was a guarantee. So moving around alot an trying to find those active is always worthwile 👍 glad your enjoying the videos mate.

[@byronschwarzl9104]

Do you use lure scent? If so which one

[@Lowysfishing]

I have s factor but rarely use scent, usually its sitting in a box somewhere never to be found. I had it on the deck last trip as ive done some stuff to the boat and now it has no home for the minute an i still didnt use it even when it was sitting right in front of me 🤣

[@brycejohnson1105]

What area is this your fishing? I always fish mid way of the lake around wangi area but wanna try different spots can you suggest any?

Good spot around wangi. This is south of pulbah mate. Im the same i like trying new places and finding new ground to explore an fish. I dont mind west off pulbah either but a bit quiet of late there. Around toronto i had some good fishing aswell recently 👍

[@ivanbonus1934]

Fish are on fire at the moment. Hooked 4 Jew Saturday afternoon, landed 3. The hooks on the Transam are rubbish, so thin they bend very easy on a solid fish. Do you upgrade them to something else?

[@Lowysfishing]

The rain seems to have helped bring some fish on, no i never change the hooks im using 10lb line an even when i used 15lb main never lost a fish due to the hooks. I will change them once there old an well used. Then i use bkk fangs.

[@petersimpson4916]

Just got back from mid north coast again and I find that all the planets aligned for you on this morning Andrew👍 except the rain, but we seem to forget that part when we're catching good fish😂 I would have been happy to stand there in the rain for those catches. Thanks for the shout out too mate👍 If somebody doesn't learn something from your videos, they're not watching properly

[@Lowysfishing]

I agree Pete id stand there all day in the rain for good fishing. Some days they just fire as u know, with some of those flattys sessions youve had. They just bite an if your in the right place u get lucky. Hopefully good fishing now its a bit murkier.

[@f1et0h]

good fish, just wondering if you think a 4000 size vanford with 15lb braid is overkill for jewfish in the lake with 20-30 gram vibes?

[@Lowysfishing]

The vanford is pretty light at least an ive run 15lb in there before an had no dramas getting the jewys. Most of my vibes are 20g i only use lighter vibes under 20 ft of water so they have some good sink time.

[@f1et0h]

@Lowysfishing good to know, thanks for the help 👍

[@aquag2889]

Do you let your lures hit the bottom ,, you hop your plastics and vibes very fast for Jew fishing

Yes i always let the lure hit the bottom and i fish them pretty slow 👍

Good video but showing your land marks is not a great idea. Depending how many see this video, that spot will be hammered. Next time you want to fish there, there will be 10 boats on it

[@Lowysfishing]

Iv bn there since an no dramas. An fish move around they dont just sit in one place, the lake is very seasonal and alot depends on water temps, baitfish tides and moon phase. An im not into trying to hide where i fish its not that secretive. Im not fishing anywhere ppl dont already know or havnt fished either. I just get out there enjoy my day make a video and if it gets watched great if not all good aswell. Either way thanks for watching hopefully your catching some out there 👍
