WHITING on surface LURES - calm vs windy, LAND based vs BOAT - which is better for TOPWATER

[@Garmoo5600]

Amen mate, just went out this morning a hooked up on 2 small salmon on the sugar pen!

[@AdriftFishing]

Nice one bro! You’ll even get mullet and squid too 😂

[@flyinglegion9119]

Killer spot is that up and in cape Elizabeth

[@AdriftFishing]

😜

[@discopantsandhaircuts1135]

If all I ever caught was pan size whiting, I'd be happy bout that!

[@AdriftFishing]

Haha! Need a big pan for these ones 😂😂 good luck 🤞

[@piotrstube]

Very pro-fish-ional video

[@AdriftFishing]

Thanks mate

[@southauzziefish4083]

One of the best ways to fish!

[@AdriftFishing]

[@fishwithchris03]

[@dad_bod_fishing_adventures7640]

[@rezasafarinezhad4758]

What lure you use? Good job mate

[@AdriftFishing]

Hey man, I like the sugar pen 95 and the slippery dog 80

[@offroadfishing]

A passion 🙌

[@AdriftFishing]

Sure is 🤙

[@SpearfishingSouthAustralia]

Great video again!

[@AdriftFishing]

Thank you 🙌🙌 Might have to try spear some one day but will probably get a stiff neck snorkelling that shallow haha

[@SpearfishingSouthAustralia]

@@AdriftFishing haha, and ain't that the truth. Fun and a totally different experience to be in the water with them.

[@AdriftFishing]

@@SpearfishingSouthAustralia it’s been on then to do list 🤙

[@joelfarrelly725]

Nice vid man, would love to see some small stream trout action this summer🤙🎣

[@AdriftFishing]

Yeah I’ll hit it at some stage 🤙 but prefer the cooler months. Better for survival rates on the trout

[@joelfarrelly725]

@@AdriftFishing fair enough mate, good to see at least some members of the community focused on sustainable freshwater fishing, early spring or autumn are my fave times of year

[@AdriftFishing]

@@joelfarrelly725 yeah that’s it man. Spot on 🙌

[@soobz]

Next challenge, YFW on fly.

[@AdriftFishing]

Been there tried that haha! Maybe a clear bubble wrap popper fly haha! But damned if they will take a clouser or Charlie or crab/worm pattern lol

[@Bishy67]

Great video mate - Was this on the morning high tide? do you prefer mornings over afternoons?

[@AdriftFishing]

Both in the afternoon with little tide movement around a dodge Tbh I do well on both so all depends. Better weather normally in the morning

[@Shauno119]

Good video buddy, I need to get myself a go-pro and start filming for when im out on the flats 🐟🎣🤙🏼

[@AdriftFishing]

Haha yeah that’s it man. Their handy equipment

[@kevinbrian3244]

That was really informative John. Like the others I'd like to know the rod and reel setup you used. They looked so light and balanced.

[@AdriftFishing]

Well it is an older reel, which I may have dunked 🤫 so I’ll be back to using my emeraldis which has a super light drag system. Rod is a drunken monkey by Diawa

[@chris_leskovsek]

Man love this ultra light fishing! good stuff John - similar to Ajing or even chasing Kahawais , which I love to do here in the metro areas of Auckland!

[@AdriftFishing]

Yeah man it’s something I wish I did more of while I was in nz, but yeah you could tune it to ky easy and is pretty much aji

[@gavinmatten4524]

Great vid, thanks man! Do you ever use a hawaian snap ( or similar) to facilitate quick lure changes? If so, what do you use ?

[@AdriftFishing]

I’m not sure of the name of them but their a little clip, but on occasion they come open, I’ve swim for a few lures before 🤙😂

[@gavinmatten4524]

@@AdriftFishing do you find they affect the action of the lure ( compared to a loop knot?). I think they do

[@AdriftFishing]

@@gavinmatten4524 depends, maybe on real small stuff but on the top water if anything it will weigh the nose a bit which will help

[@KK-gj9ds]

Hi there, love your vid! What setup do you use to catch whiting with lures? Thanks

[@AdriftFishing]

I use a Diawa drunken monkey 1-2kg and fish 6lb braid

[@chiuliechiu9760]

What kinda set you got there my friend?? UL??

[@AdriftFishing]

Yeah ultra light man. 6lb braid and leader and 1-2kg rod 6’10 it goes well on them
