Good little session. 😊
It was cool
Pretty good session. I was in the quintrex 420 next to you having some fun with the Kingies.
How good is that. Would be nice to see some legal king schools show up for some more fun on the light gear. Winter I hope 🤞🏽
Australian Bonito @3.00 , Watsons/Leaping have lines that more like dots above the lateral line. Another great session. Cool to see that school of trag.
Thanks for confirming. The bay is littered with giant balls of these leaping bonito now. Can I catch one. Yes. Can I catch two, no chance. They are so damn picky 😆
Nice to see you again Mel hope you had a enjoyable day .😊👍
😍thank you and I sure did
Thanks Spikes absolutely brilliant video, very informative as usual. You’re a champion. Hope your finger is ok. ❤😊
Thank you 😊
Great video always look forward to them that fish is a bonito
😍thank you
Spikes got spiked! Maybe one of those fish tongs is useful to handle the flatties. Great upload as usual :)
KK I’m hopeless when it comes to self care with fish, my excitement takes over and bad decisions are made 😂
All your tracks on your plotter gave me anxiety lol. I clear mine regularly so i can see which way I'm drifting or anchoring over a structure. Love the vids.
🤣🤣🤣. Mine's the same. Need a clear out. 🤔
great sess Mel, mixed bags but lots of fun! ❤
100% any day on the water is epic 🔥
Very cool 😎 Mel
Thank you 😊
Good mixed bag Mel
Thanks Rick 😍
Great video as always. Good to see the rig setups you use. Think I'd have said a few words dropping that Trag too! Ordered a couple of bottles of Mitchies Itchys as well.
Classic example of me getting to complacent. I never learn. 🤷🏽♀️
Mitchy’s is great and I’m really glad I got them, using them at night is awesome and they smell sexy as ♥️
Great video! Thank you.
☺️☺️
Never seen a trag in botany ' is it a new thing? there used to be hairtail in the deep water off mol point but that was yonks ago 😄
Nah I have got trag every year since 2019 inside the bay 😍
@@spikesfishing thanks for the reply
You are welcome
I love your videos but please but a longer leader. A suggestion is to use a smaller hook thanks for making these vids
Thanks for enjoying my videos ☺️ I can’t fish with long leaders hey, the longer it is the less control I have over striking and yeah the tiny leader is my go to now. If I was to fish by casting and leaving the rod in a rod holder then I will go much longer but it’s rare I will put the rod down.
Don’t know what happened to all the Trevors this year.
Last year they were thick at this time….. not that I miss them.
Even the Squid are hard to catch one day, and not even there the next.
You are not wrong Adz. I’ve seen 3 in the bait this year which is pretty crazy. I’m just happy the leatherjackets never came back after the 2019 plague in botany 😆
You need to invest in a hand towel 😅
😂 that’s what fishing clothes a for. I had 5 spikes towels made and they are all in the ocean somewhere after flying off the boat when I forgot to secure them. I am quite hopeless. There are more jackets out there than I care to admit. 🤷🏽♀️
I have hand towels with loops of rope on them. They just get added to the rails and it stops them flying off.
I will get you some and you can brand them Spikes 😅😅😎😎
Should of come today giant school of slimy mackerel. Plus some rat kings busting up on molly's
Damn I missed out. The rats are back as of now, haven’t seen a single slimey inside the bay though.
Yewwwwwww
Mel how come you have such a short leader
Good question, because I fish vertical with the rod in my hands at all times I like to have as little “give” in the leader as possible. Similar to walking a dog on a leash, the longer the leash the less control of the dog, the shorter the leash the more control. I get way more hookups on the first strike when it’s short and I’m in control. If you were to fish by lasting out away from the boat and letting the rod sit in the rod holder then yes a longer leader is more effective. Hope that made some sense 😆
@@spikesfishing yes thatb did make sense thank you
😊
🙋
Heyyyyyy ♥️
Hi Spike. Do you let the sinker touch the bottom or hold it just off?
I try to keep the sinker just resting on the bottom with no slack in line. Once in place I sometimes lift the rod tip about a foot and re-introduce the bait back to the floor. When a fish is have a strike I drop the tip to the water and wait for the take then strike. Kind of like a teaser method but it works very well as long as you keep the line tight and just resting the sinker on the floor with the bait resting near by
@@spikesfishing thanks Spike.
You are welcome
Think they are sand flies Mel if u kill one 1000 more come lol
Gaz is that what they are? Damn I’m glad I didn’t kill them, they were bad enough as a small swarm 😂
