Trolling deep divers for Snapper: New technique (catch & clean)

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Happy Sunday legends! Bloody excited about this video, been trying to film this action for a while now and this week it all came together!!🍻🍻

[@johnberlund8251]

Very jealous of you catching these wonderful fish. Good to see you only keeping a feed and not keeping every fish. Well done Sammy

[@rickbold9337]

Incredible colours of sunset? Purple sky!

[@shuomo1]

Another informative session from Sammy. Thanks for putting into time and effort to film and edit all the footage. It’s definitely not easy and time consuming. Please keep it up mate!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Fish Mad appreciate it mate! Definitely takes a lot of time but I enjoy doing it! Plenty more sessions to come! 🍻🍻

What depth were you in mate? Wouldn't mind giving it a crack down here on the mid north coast. Also what length lures were they? Cheers mate

[@thataussiefisho6397]

I can’t give you an exact depth he was fishing in but I am pretty sure that the lures he was using were nomad dxt Minows.

Hey Sammy I'm here in Tasmania and I love to give this ago just wondering how deep you troll for snaps like this ?

[@Archer56353]

Hey mate too cold down there for snapper

[@peppipoohductionswakashunt3157]

Great stuff mate, I used to do that around mud and smashed them years ago, I found trolling would account for the better fish every time, plastics for numbers, hardbody for size.

[@IRFANCAST]

Great episode. Superb work on the boat, looks brand new

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

[@shannonburgmann7715]

Another quality vid mate! Well done on that big Snapper, what a stonker!!!

Shannon Burgmann cheers mate! Yeah couldn’t believe the size of the first big one!

[@jamie_d___]

Well I can’t say that’s your best video for ages because who’s to judge that , but what I can say Is I enjoyed that video the most out of any of your recent ones what a ripper of a vid , the big knob snapper that snapped the end off the hard body was epic level EPIC 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Jamie D cheers mate! Yeah I was pretty stoked with how it all turn out. Always nice when a plan comes together!

[@ryanatkins8758]

I'm new to the whole trolling thing, how do i know what the right speed is for the lure i use? cheers

[@No_mans_flies]

I do this a bit around the headlands here. One of my favourite lure is a yozuri crystal deep, in slimy or pilchard, caught some bangers on the troll with those.

Please come to Baja Sur, MX and open shop !!! Excellent work. I have a 21’8”” Sea Pro could use that kind of love and care.

[@jayjohnson9668]

That is the goofiest snapper I have ever seen. Your snapper Mackeral etc...are so much different than ours here in the States it always makes me laugh!! But I am sure he was pretty tasty on the bar by. The whole centimeter thing is a trip too😎👍👍 even a little fish sounds big!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

jay johnson hahah that’s why we use cm’s not inches!!! Try measuring your 🍆 in cm, sounds wayyyy bigger 🤣🤣🍻🍻

[@jayjohnson9668]

Sammy Hitzke Fishing For sure I am gonna switch over to the metric system.... Because everything sounds so much bigger... Even my🐍!!!. You guys ain't right!!??!?😎👍👍

[@getthenetfishing8979]

Was this at Hutchies

[@intricatexploration]

Great vids mate. You should go 4k for that visual feast factor

[@grahamdonaldson29]

Need 4K agree bits of pixelation evident

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

intricateXploration unfortunately shooting in 4k is more hassle then it’s worth. Massive file sizes, huge upload times and short battery life. For my style of video it would be very hard to do sorry.

[@Yono325i]

Hi Sammy, the easy spring clip you were using to attach the lures on... how heavy (diving lure size and line) would you safely use them up too? I only use them with all my light tackle 20lb and below in fear that it may give under load? Great video too mate, keep up the good work 😎

[@yakazulukayakfishing9473]

Hi Mate, Been getting it to your videos here in NZ. how fast were you trolling the lures? looked really slow, Probably 2 to 3knts. And what diving lures, I was thinking DR evil. Thanks in advance Jason.

[@deezy9622]

Just found your channel mate👍🏽. Mate just for your information any product/coatings will be gone if you use a pressure cleaner, not to mention your paint won’t last. Superyacht captain & engineer here.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Deezy Welcome aboard mate 🍻🍻 I don’t think that is the case with this coating. It’s the same ceramic coating they have used to coat the outside of space shuttles and satellites. It’s pretty tough stuff!

[@stevenleifels6733]

hey sammy awesome video was wondering what was the rod & reel combo you where using mate keep up the great work

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Steven Leifels hey mate! It’s a 3000 Stella and a 3-6kg jewel rod 🍻🍻

[@markspalding6092]

That was brilliant Sammy! Can’t wait to try it myself. Thanks for making these epic vids mate, cheers!

[@Kearnesy]

Great video sammy

[@mattyg7143]

Hey mate awesome vid. What depth do those divers swim down to in comparison to how deep the bottom is?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Galaxy Esseightt hard to tell mate. I run them a long way back to get maximum depth. I reckon they would be within 6m of the bottom at least

[@markrieck6242]

Hey Sammy! Iwould love to give this a crack! What sort of depth were you in? CHEERS

[@MrHuck73]

As above what depth

[@weFishAU]

My question as well. What depth do you call "shallow"?

[@hermanvanzyl6143]

I’d love to know as well, what dept were you trolling at Sammy?

[@MYeahman]

I troll them up down here on the nsw south coast from 10m to 3m, start shallow with the low light and move out to the deeper stuff adjusting lure as you go. Ill troll divers to 4 metres targeting anything from 6m and 8m deep divers from the deep stuff Basically 2m from the bottom should keep you clear from the bricks and give you access to the fish, don't be surprised if they come up higher to smash a moving bait and don't hesitate to run shallow.... 3 to 5m in low light will land you some great fish.

[@No_mans_flies]

Doesn’t have to be that deep, 3-6m is enough.

[@MC-rf6es]

which rod and reel were you using in this video? might be a good idea to put your rod and reel info in all our video descriptions. it will be very helpful. thanks mate

[@angusvan6104]

Never got many big snapper but I get lots of small ones on flatty plastics and they are very aggressive small and I guess they keep the aggression

[@mikewhidden5356]

Great fishing on artificial bait I think it's much more fun and much easier than real bait and looks as though you catch bigger fish you don't have to weed through the small ones that way great job!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Mike Whidden Yeah mate it definitely has its plus sides! Cheers 🍻🍻

[@alleycat8483]

Hi Sammy, I caught a 70cm snapper at Green island on 3kg braid and it had another hook in its mouth and also a metre of line coming from its mouth to a hook deep in its gut so it had been caught twice before, its funny as I catch a couple of hundred flathead every year and never have I caught a tagged one..

@@SammyHitzkeFishing great we usually don't even get a bite if we go that slow over here, groupers, snappers and even emperors when caught are usually at speeds over 5.

Hi Sammy Hitzke Fishing, I been watching your videos for quite some time now and enjoy learning from you. I am really keen to give the trolling a go some time. What sort of depths were you trolling in? Sure a few blokes would love to know as well for going out in our local areas.

You need to change the washers to aluminum, boat was clean in the start but when you did the after cleanse I take it 1 to 2 days later the washers on your capt. seat base were already leaching rust, shit can those washer and you will save some time

Mike King not a bad idea 👌👌

[@JackScott23]

Hey Sammy, I always love watching your latest videos because they always inspire me to get outdoors and have fun. Today, I went to the Brisbane river and caught my first ever Threadfin Salmon it was crazy, we ate it up and tasted yummy as hell (I know I shouldn't have kept it but couldn't resist to eat it after the great reviews I have heard from others). You inspire me to make new videos. if you replied to this comment it would mean the world to me. And a quick question, how do I get more subscribers, need some. Thanks

[@Mr.Raffin]

Why shouldn't you have kept it?

[@JackScott23]

Jaden Raffin because In some areas the thread fin population can be low so next one I catch I will throw back to keep them growing and breeding

[@mungbean84]

Threadies aren't real low in numbers in the river. The thing to be careful with is if you get them from too deep they suffer very badly from barotrauma so won't release well. They also get really knocked up easily and pretty much work themselves to death. Sadly they are well documented as being tough to release full stop.
