Very educational and entertaining at the same time! Lover your videos mickamus 😂😂😂😂, stay well and tight lines bro 🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙

[@bushfishncook2128]

Cheers mate, I like trying to do things i never see other people doing, sometimes it's not about the size of the fish but just, being out there and enjoying fishing 🎣 Appreciate it mate and hope you will catch more from the things you learn here 👍 No stress about the membership mate, but I definitely appreciate you even thinking about it, that means enough to know you enjoy the channel so much 👍🎣

Awesom spinfly bait session

[@bushfishncook2128]

Hahahaha yeah something like that, just something a bit different, I don't see people ever doing 👍

[@neilcondron8315]

A pleasant change, but like most of your fishing you had to work out the best way to go about it. Had them all fired up there in the end. Good fun.

[@bushfishncook2128]

They were a little slow on this day, but as the sun started going down, they really fired up 👍 It's not always about the size of the fish, sometimes it's just about, enjoying being out fishing I reckon. Cheers mate 👍

[@richardtheeighth4431]

I really enjoyed watching you catch those fish. Your narration is top-notch, and the bass chasing the herring was natures grand finale to a great session. 👍

[@bushfishncook2128]

Cheers mate 👍 It was a fun little session and as you basically said, that Bass chasing the herring, was the grand finale to an awesome afternoons fishing 🎣

[@brentonclarke]

That is some damn small hooks but they seem to do the trick

[@bushfishncook2128]

The other day I landed a low 30s Bass, on one of these tiny hooks some how!!! the light drag obviously helped it not bend, I had to walk the bass to the side, to land it... Cheers mate, spring has come early here, I hope it's starting to warm up for you too, looking forward to your next adventure 👍

[@LarrysFishing]

This was different and cool, but as you've seen from my vids, not hard to catch the little guys LOL This looked like fun, must admit I didn't know of freshwater Herring, where do you fish to find them? Awesome job Mick!

[@bushfishncook2128]

Hahaha yeah if you were here mate, you would have caught a bucket full 😅 This is a great bit of fun and something I do every so often, yet I had never filmed it... Potamalosa richmondia, the Australian freshwater herring, is a fish that is endemic to Australia. It is the only member of its genus. You can only find them in a few rivers I believe... This is the information from the Net The freshwater herring, Potamalosa richmondia Macleay, occurs in coastal rivers of south-eastern Australia from the east Gippsland region of Victoria (Cadwallader and Backhouse 1983) north to the Tweed River in northern New South Wales (Lake 1978) So it's possible you have them up in the fresh on a river down your way, late afternoon they are actively hitting the surface, so just a walk along the banks of an afternoon can tell you, bread on a float with mosquito hooks will get them, we used to cut down a sabiki rig so it just had 2 hooks making it legal in freshwater, good for mullet as well, they usually follow the herring around in a month or two...

[@LarrysFishing]

@@bushfishncook2128 I'll hav to pay more attention the next time I'm at the river. Thanks for the info and you should do more vids like that, good fun!

[@bushfishncook2128]

No worries mate, I hope you can find some around down there 👍 I will definitely do more of this in the future, maybe next time, I'll attempt a surface trout...

[@girlfinfishing]

Great job mate 🤙🏻

[@adzoutnabout8666]

Good fun on a 5wt fly rod and tiny streamer flys. Shame they don’t grow to 100kg like the American Tarpon.

[@bushfishncook2128]

Fly fishing looks very frustrating to me... I may try it one day though 👍 Imagine 100kg freshwater herring in the river, no more bass.... But man would that be fun.

[@adzoutnabout8666]

@@bushfishncook2128 🤣 If we had 100kg herring…. Who cares about Bass. Fly fishing is very rewarding mate. Even more so when you tie your own fly pattern and catch fish on them. Pretty much the same as what you did with your micro plastics 🤙

[@bushfishncook2128]

@adzoutnabout8666 hahaha yeah I guess you're right there mate 👍 I will have to give it a go one day...

[@Bob-m6l1m]

Hey mick!I recommend using a Carolina rig with the small soft plastic with about a 1M leader from the weigh t to the hook for a faster action!Ive tried it recently in rivers with fast moving waters and its really effective👍

[@bushfishncook2128]

Hey mate, I have done something similar in the past, I just wanted to get these fish off the top 👍 No matter the size of the fish, it's just fun being out enjoying fishing, appreciate your comment mate. Tight lines out there 🎣

[@sumfesh8574]

Get the fly rod out bruh

[@bushfishncook2128]

I don't fly fish hahaha but yeah fly fishos would have a ball catching these guys, the idea here was just to show something a bit different 👍 Cheers for watching mate

[@F11sh-f2h]

they were going non stop on Sunday, there would be 3-5 herring swiping at my plastic on every drop, yet not a single hook up

[@bushfishncook2128]

Wow that's crazy, seems I was there on the wrong day, although seeing that bass smashing the herring was awesome, I'm glad I didn't miss that.

[@markrawson5697]

Top notch work mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻I will be there tomorrow after work last weekend I was there and saw a little platypus

[@bushfishncook2128]

I have seen a few down there 👍 it's great to see and very bad that our waterways are being filled with recycled water, it can't be good for the platypus population, way more out there in the nepean, than what people think. Cheers mate

[@peterhipwell4632]

Interesting new way love you innovation trying something new at least for me any way

[@bushfishncook2128]

Cheers mate, I have actually done something similar for trout, a long time ago on the channel 👍 But yeah way back! It's always fun, mixing it up when fishing

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

A little bit like ajing fishing . I have used a cut down sabiki rig for freshwater mullet , I found a tiny bit of scent helped a lot - I used the dizzy scent muddy gudgeon scent but a factor probably works as well . Awesome video mate ! Those little plastics you make would be dynamite on yakkas !

[@bushfishncook2128]

I can't wait to get my ajing combo, I loving using the micro plastics for trout, bream, Aussie salmon and even caught a few mullet on them... the little 0.5g glowing jig heads, by damiki are fire 👍 I was using cheese scent on these plastics. Cheers mate, I really appreciate the awesome feedback 🎣

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

@@bushfishncook2128 You would probably be interested in another form of fishing from the land of the rising sun- tenkara fishing. A fellow member of a fishing forum I frequent- fishraider put me onto it and I can see immediately it would be deadly on mullet and herring but if you can stalk a trout in a stream it is what this style of fishing is made for ! Even if I don’t go the whole hog and buy the gear it has some benefits that can be adapted to regular fishing tackle as we know it . I really appreciate the epic videos mate !

[@bushfishncook2128]

@@ianbertenshaw4350 I'm going to have to look into that now 👍 The best part of fishing, is the many ways you can go about it, it would be hard to ever get bored of... Well for me at least anyway, cheers mate
