Thanks mate, it’s a Minn Kota

Stopped counting after 30! What a weapon!

@@thenextfishWhen they come into the Fort Myers Florida area this time of year, they come in huge schools. If you find them, they are a ton of fun. We get spanish and kings here...not the other kind.

Yes there is a ban on atm which opens on Thursday. I filmed the episode the week prior to the start of close season, just uploaded it today 🎣

Was a great feed! Not fresh anymore haha

Yeah a solid fish for midday! We lost 5 spots on pink spinners on palmy before changing plans. Well worth a crack

Haha first one on float line second one on the plastic 🙌🏼

Thanks for watching

We call them Spanish mackerel here in Australia 🇦🇺

Gday mate, no I haven’t free lined live bait for Jew fish as they typically sit hard on the bottom unless there’s slack tide then they move around a bit more in the water column. I do float line live baits for other fish tho, depending on the season

Do you think so Geoff ?there was no stopping what ever it was

@@thenextfish not much else around that will do that except a big tuna maybe. Given the numbers of cobia around now my money would be on one of them

Yeah I rate them, just got the pilly down a bit deeper and gave it a good wobble

Gday Jordan, it makes for tremendous sashimi! Yes scary stuff ! Definitely need to time the seaway these days

Gday mate, really ? My sounder was reading 25.5 so hopefully it’s just the start 🎣 how’d you go coming back in across the bar?

Came back early before the run out had to go to work

Gday mate, I run 50 pound braid onto 60 pound mono as a leader. You get more bites that way

@@thenextfish thanks mate.

Gday Aaron, I catch a few at summer around Currumbin creek area along the banks

cheers Luca that's on the bait reefs of the seaway. in close

@@thenextfish thanks for the reply, I appreciate the information. I’m new to the area so getting my bearings. So you’re talking about the Scottish Prince Wreck?

@@lucamiceli3409 not the Scottish prince although I do think there would be jew fish on that mark. Just look for a group of boats jigging bait and go over there and drop a live bait to the bottom with the same rig I use on the episode. You should stop into Doug Burt’s tackle world and have a chat to the boys there they have a lot of gps marks to get you started 🎣 great fishing gear there too

Nice work! On the 18’s? I leave the bail arm open while I’m letting the pillie drift down as I want it to look as natural as possible. You’ll see I let the line run through my fingers so I can feel when a fish has picked it up, then I lock the bail arm over. I use spot lock with the electric once I work out the current speed

@@thenextfish yeah mate I was just on the 18s yesterday. Yeah ok cool do you run a swivel on your rig as well?

@@natekiem5787 I don’t use a swivel I just use a joining knot to the braid (as natural as possible)

@@thenextfish I might try that next time also, good opportunities this week 👍🏻
