WHITING & SQUID HEAVEN In The Wild North-West Of Tasmania!

[@TimLeary-rw3oq]

Nice spot that.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Sure is!

[@Tazzie1]

Gee Thanks Starlo - I thought you where dead. Hadn't seen a Vid / Tv show for years. Glad to see that you are alive and kicking. I'm Tasmanian, so I may have to pay a visit to the NW. Cheers

[@StarloGetsReel]

Fortunately, rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated. 🤣 I hope you stick around and check out some of my other content. There’s a whole playlist of Tassie Tales. Tight Lines, Starlo (not dead yet)

What amazing conditions and water clarity

[@StarloGetsReel]

Yes, we got lucky!

[@devinematt2544]

Love your videos Starlo, I just love 'em! I'm 10 years off retirement and I can't wait to do what you do - full time! Stay safe mate cause I'm looking forward to many more vids!

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks mate! Go for it!

[@fishingsister]

Some fish there. What a spot too. Nice vid👍

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks so much!

[@kevdimo6459]

Thanks Steve that was one of your best! After watching you fish for the best part of thirty plus years it’s great to see and hear the excitement you and Jo share! Rory too. Thanks again guys and gals for your content.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks so much for that great feedback, Kev!

[@anthonycox1870]

wow, amazing , biggest I've caught is 41 cm in the Parramatta River, great video champion, love to see a whiting on lure video,

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks! I'm working on it.

[@franksaunders6534]

Absolutely loved this! I was born in Tassie but mainly fished the Scamander River. I loved the concentration on Rory's face. He's one of those 10 percent anglers who quickly learn, adapt and grow in their new surroundings - whether reading a small wash zone tight up against the rocks and plucking a half dozen pigs from seemingly unfishable water to quickly adapting to a new species and plucking a true elbow slapper! Never met Rory but I loved his articles on anything rock fishing, learned a ton from reading them and always knew I was in for a great read when one of your articles, Steve, included Rory! Please pass this on to him. One of my heroes along with you, Steve! Cheers, Frank

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks so much for that great feedback, Frank! I've passed it on to Rory, too, and I know he'll be chuffed. You're spot on with your assessment - Rory is one of fishing's "quiet achievers" and is quick to adapt to any new scenario with the minimum of fuss and fanfare... A real "fisho's fisho" in my book. Tight Lines. 👍

[@franksaunders6534]

@@StarloGetsReel Thanks, Steve and keep up the great content and narration.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Nice one. At $110 / KG those are some nice gold bars there!

[@StarloGetsReel]

So true!

[@TazzzieAdventures]

What an awesome session on the whiting & squid. The water looks amazing so clear. Tassie has a bad rep for its weather but I have lived in most other states but my heart will always take me back to the island state. ATB Brad

[@StarloGetsReel]

Yep, the weather can be a real challenge but the fishing options are AMAZING! 👍

[@johnlighton7025]

Theres something about rory 😂😂. We also have calamari that i caught as a child with my dad in the bay. Most of the "calamari" we eat here in south Africa is humbolt squid now. Sadly all the good stuff exported. Except my dad would never eat calamari claiming it was bait😂😂

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks for that! Yes, a lot of Aussies once viewed squid only as bait... Times have indeed changed.

[@SteveOutside]

Great video mate.. any Whiting over a half meter is a cracking Whiting!

[@StarloGetsReel]

So true, Steve!

[@theearthrexden]

I remember catching a 50cm whiting off Edithburgh South Australia 20 years ago, It fought like Mike Tyson.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Nice! Yes, they're great fish at that size.

[@StjerneDK]

Great upload. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@StarloGetsReel]

Cheers!

[@Power_Prawnstar]

G'day Starlo, I fish.....a lot, all over South Australia, beach, rocks and kayak. I never catch any fish. I watch all the vids and learn as much as I can, yet I just never catch fish. I've literally been fishing 15 times in the last 6 weeks and caught nothing over-size, not even close! If you ever come to South Australia, can you please take me fishing? I'd love to learn what I'm doing wrong, please! I would appreciate it so much and I'd be stoked just to catch something. Love your videos mate, keep them up

[@StarloGetsReel]

Hang in there Brendon, you'll catch 'em! 👍

[@theearthrexden]

Can I recommend West Lakes in the cooler months. Try using soft plastic minnows. I usually a few good bream and salmon trout.

[@timrosenthal46]

Bloody fantastic ! You can't beat an awesome session on the KG's and squid.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Couldn't agree more!

[@MrDattopet]

Only seems like the last 3 years or so been getting bigger fish down in Tassie

[@StarloGetsReel]

They've been slowly building for the past decade or so, but definitely getting better, bigger (and more attention!) in last 3 to 5 years. It's such a good news story! They're being really well managed, too. If everyone does the right thing it should only get better.

[@peterkellam250]

Great video, well done. Steve, what time of the year was that?

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks! Early January this year. 👍

[@02bigkev]

Great vid Steve, That whiting was huge.

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks!!

[@MegaSkeet11]

awesome video

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks, skeet!

[@justinadams5159]

Just between you and me 55cm is 2cm bigger than my biggest ever Tailor off the beach. Wow what a Whiting!!

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@justinadams5159 I know... Crazy stuff, huh?

[@levidawson4205]

Preffered the trout brother

[@StarloGetsReel]

Fair enough, each to their own I guess. Mind you, this video is getting a LOT more views than my trout ones do! 😉

[@jasonfarrugia5594]

Well done Starlo just watch when releasing as king George bound for release should not be handled without a wet rag Our skin takes away their protective slime and they end up dying with infection

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks for that.

[@EdwardYang-wu7yq]

what model of the anarchy did you use for squid fishing and could i use it for whiting fishing?

[@StarloGetsReel]

I actually can't remember as we own a couple of Anarchy rods. But they'd all be excellent for whiting.

[@bobclark4994]

Damn nice whiting Steve! ---- how would you rate the area for kayak fishing?

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks! Definitely not for the inexperienced kayaker. Strong currents and often choppy water. But if you're on the ball and experienced you could definitely make it work, I reckon.

[@bobclark4994]

@@StarloGetsReel Thanx Steve, good advice.

[@shanekhoo318]

Hi Starlo, Great video. Fantastic fishing. To get the whiting do you stay in the estuary or do you need to head out a bit further?

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks! Both! Inside and outside. Bigger ones tend to be offshore a bit. 👍

[@mrkanangra]

Jesus Effing Christ - a 55cm??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - mate, starlo, that HAS to be photoshopped!!!!!!!😍

[@StarloGetsReel]

Pretty sure the one I’m holding is a 53 but my mate Rory got a 55 in the video.

[@davidfoale205]

Nothing like a few chunky squid and some kidney slapping 'Tings to make you excited to get the frying pan out.

[@StarloGetsReel]

So true!
