VICTORIAN KINGFISH - PORT WELSHPOOL - REFUGE COVE

[@pclinch1]

Great video! Keen to see more kingfish action

[@brodyconnellyfishing]

Hopefully a few larger models!

[@Camh1968]

Well done for making this video. Can I ask name of the electric reel (as used for downrigger) as shown from 8.10 to 8.47? Why have you chosen an electric reel in lieu of a downrigger for this application? What rod holder/rod is this electric reel connected to? Cameron

[@brodyconnellyfishing]

It’s a Daiwa tanacom on a Daiwa beef stick 56HT. The advantage of this is that you can use this combo to fish deep with (3-500m offshore for bottom species) but you can also set it up as a downrigger, that when you press the ‘retrieve’ lever it will automatically pull the line it. This is advantageous as it means you can press the lever and then quickly move to retrieve another rod after a hook up. Helps clear the rods quickly and avoid any possible tangles

@@brodyconnellyfishing thanks mate. I love this idea. Would a dedicated downrigger (eg Scotty) unit have any advantage over this electric reel for down rigging functions?

[@brodyconnellyfishing]

Certainly is mate. Whitsundays of Gippsland 😂

How about not snipping tag end into the water 6;25 , no rubbish bag onboard ? Good vid BTW

[@brodyconnellyfishing]

I’ll give you that. Should be better. Rest of the trash definitely came home with us though. Thanks mate

[@mickanderson3593]

@Do-iz6qd In no way did I "belittle" these blokes, look in the dictionary mate.You on the other hand, have stooped to Grade 4 level with your remarks. P.S My Mum says YOU FUCK ( flip those last 2 words) Have a nice day

[@AdzFishing]

Are you going to give them a crack in the port? Heard they've started moving in

[@brodyconnellyfishing]

Literally just got off the water after chasing them. They went good yesterday but nada today

[@tongpaofishingchannel.2499]

Nice catch.

[@brodyconnellyfishing]

Thankyou!

[@enlightenment6278]

In New Zealand, those are the size we use for bait to catch really big Kingfish 20 to 35kg

[@brodyconnellyfishing]

You’re blessed over there! We need to look at our stock and how it’s handled. Hopefully in the future we can have a similar fishery.

[@BrentColling]
