- Well this day didn't quiet go as planed but in the end, it was a cracker day on the water. I have a soft spot for spotted mackerel as I would chase them on a family holiday down the coast growing up. So when I get on to some spotties, I brings back some good memories.
So, heading out of the Brisbane river I was meet with less an ideal conditions after recent rain. Next option was to head to Mud island while I waited for the wind to back off. It started slow there but had a blast with some good tailor and a couple bream in the shallows.
The wind stopped on clue and I headed to Harries for my revenge on a big bay snapper. I got him on but again, I pulled the hooks!
While fishing there, I spotted some surface activity and the lost snapper was soon forgotten as I got stuck in to some quality bay spotted mackerel.
After cleaning up the mess in the boat I cruised back on smooth seas as the northerly started to pick up for the afternoon.
What a cracker day!
Awesome video mate, what I wouldn’t give to have a day like that on the water. So good to see that fish can be caught consistently. It’s inspiration for us to keep going, lots to learn still. Thanks for the info on equipment you use too, it’s really helpful 👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Awsome video mate
Gotta love that mild panic of a good bust up! 😂 unreal session man congrats
Cheers mate!
Gets the old blood pumping 🤣
How do you not have people rafting up with you at harries every time your rod bends? You must have a mean death stare 😂
Just about everyone has been really good hey. Plenty come say hello but only a couple have followed or pushed in.
Gotta love chasing schools, so much fun. Gets the adrenaline pumping. Thanks Pete.
Especially when it’s flat calm and no one else is chasing em.
Cheers mate!
What an awesome session mate!
Cheers Craig, cracker day on the water.
Another great weekly vid Peter, thanks!
Cheers Daniel!
Sick video mate awesome to get amongst a few spotties. Good to see them showing up.
Thanks mate.
It’s great when they show up 😍.
Great vid mate thanks for sharing some local knowledge and keep the fish coming !
Cheers mate!
Will do.
SPOTTIES 🙌 😍 Love the vid as always!
Cheers Ben! Yeah, I love em.
I absolutely love the videos mate keep it up
Thanks so much mate, appreciate that!
What a great video yet again Peter, and superb fishing skills,spotting,chasing and catching those mackerel 👍👍
Thanks Simon!
I used to chase pelagics quite a bit back in the day. So much fun when they play ball.
Bloody marvelous mate! The bay is firin!!
Cheers mate.
Love it when the pelagics move in 😍
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing good times in the bay during the warmer months!
Awesome mate 👍
Cheers Jim.
Action a plenty! Good stuff man
Cheers mate, had to look around but found plenty action. An 80cm that feel off would have been epic….
Mate great way to finish up considering the slow start! I first subbed your channel when you had around 400subs..now look at you go! I never started a channel for the views or subs but maybe I should try harder haha..on ya Pete!
Cheers mate!
Yeah, seems quick I guess haha.
A lot of hard work though.
Great stuff Pete, awesome to see the spotty mackerel in pretty good numbers in the bay. Boat flipping spotties one after the other had me in stitches though 😂👌
Full red neck moment!!
Nice one Pete! I saw you out at Harries on Friday. The sharks were unbeatable. At one stage I had 5 of them circling my boat… Good to see the spotties are back!
Thanks mate!
Yeah, had the one come up not long after I lost the big snapper and couple on the mackerel.
I’m over the sharks in the bay 🤦♂️.
Cracking vid again Pete. Solid session. Looks like i “need” some new lures!
Hahaha.
Cheers mate.
the dream day nice work
Cheers mate 🙌
Love your video
Thanks Tracey! 🙌
How your day been
Great job…Thanks😊
Cheers Will!
Epic!
Cheers mate!
This guy knows fishing.
Too kind mate 🙌
Thanks Peter for another helpful video. You have convinced me to try for spotties again tomorrow morning. Those Amergari lures look great, but at $69 each, I am not sure I will be using them, probably stay with the Halco slugs, unless you have a more economic suggestion for a stickbait.
Thanks mate.
Nar mate, they aren’t the timber ones. Ones I use are like $39.95. Flavie 110. Come with bkk trebles.
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing Thanks Peter. Can you recommend a local supplier for Flavie 110.
@@seastrength1291 where about’s are you mate?
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing Brisbane southside, tried my favourite online Tackle Warehouse but no luck, nothing at BCF or Anaconda. Only found the wooden Amergari online at Ottos TackleWorld Sydney. Thanks Peter (We used to chat a bit when you worked at Tackle Warehouse).
❤
🙌
Any chance you can show us how you tie leader to a lure?
Another great video Peter,what pole set up did you go with the Live.? Looks nice and compact.🤔
Thanks John.
It’s a rodtech pole mate. Really good but if kit.
Love your videos mate and love your taste in music! Learn heaps and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with people! What are your thoughts on using fastach clips?
Cheers mate!
My taste in music isn’t for everyone but glad it gets your approval 😀.
I’m not a clip man to be honest. I mostly take any rings off the nose of a lure too. Prefer to tie directly to the lure.
Id fly fish for those Macks-what a size compared to the crap we have left to fish for in the UK
Next time the fly is coming out 💯
Thanks for another great Moreton Bay Video! Quick question, when casting with the heavy 80lb leader, what knot do you use to join to the braid (FG?) and roughly what length of leader do you tie on? Cheers,
Thanks mate!
Yeah mate, fg know and not too long, about 1 1/2 meters.
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing Cheers, thanks for that!
They left us in Hervey Bay anoot 3 weeks ago enjoy!
Our turn!!
🤣🤣🤣
Do the tailor hang around mud Island for a certain time, from Townsville and want to catch a couple as I want to smoke some
Can be a year round option but the most part they are more consistent in the cooler month.
thanks Peter, another great video 👍 am really impressed with the lure TACKLE BOX with hinged lid.👌What is the brand please?? aka where can I get one ?? Am also wondering why so many pulled hooks with the Amegari Flavie 110mm Stickbait Lure ??? Maybe upgrade the trebles to BKKs ?? Although at $45 /lure RRP I'd expect better performance than that. Mal
Cheers mate.
Tackle box is a versus box available at most good tackle shops.
The Amegari flavie comes with bkk treble already.
I was pulling them because I had so much drag on the reel as I was trying to get them in before those 2 massive bulk sharks could eat them. I probably should have explained that in the video sorry.
What do you think is the best tasting fish you’ve ever caught
Nannies are up there I recon!
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishingare those the big red jew fish thing?
@@Saltwatergangsters think that’s what they call em.
@@Saltwatergangsters large mouth mannygi
Loving your videos lately! How long does it take to get a video out from filming to posting? Are your videos sometimes over a few sessions?
Cheers mate!!
Think I’ve one video from two sessions and twice I’ve got 2 videos from one session haha.
But vast majority is one video from one day fishing. Best part of a day to get footage off and edit the video. Probably more work than people realise. Plus the work involved in actually filming.
Basic routine is fish for half a day, get footage off in the arvo, then edit for half a day on Saturday or Sunday, then post Sunday arvo.
Wow that's impressive to catch such good fish, and consistently too! @@Peter_Herbst_Fishing
@@halen_outdoor cheers mate. Very consistent fishing this year for sure.
In all honesty you're probs the best brisbane based angler on CZcams. It's fantastic how you go through and explain things to help people watching become better anglers. One quick question, where did you get your hand sun covers?
Oh wow, thanks mate!!
They are snowbee sun gloves. I like them as it doesn’t cover my palms.
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing Thanks mate. Also meant what I said. Watching you and Matt Scholz is very similar in presentation style. I love how you show the sounder, explain whats going on and also what else to look for.
@@turbostyler Matt’s a legend. Known him for a long time now, back when he lived in Brissy. He’s one of the best in the industry hands down!
Damn, I left Harries an hour too earlyit seems :). Pulled the hooks on a good fish too
Hard to know when to go/stay. I come out usually around the tide change to get both directions if I can but wind will always dictate what I do.
Exciting stuff Peter. Great casting. Aprox what distance were your casts into the mackerel bust ups?
Hummm, hard to say 40m plus at a guess mate.
have u seen any longys yet
Got some in November but not seen any since. Hoping to see them very soon!
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing saw some awesome busts last year, pretty keen to get one shallow with my mates
Last week i catch 1m Spanish mackerel
Awesome Tracey!
Shame about the silly closure that on now 🤦♂️.
How about some trawling
Not my style of fishing sorry mate.
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing no it’s not. Maybe try something out of your zone??
@@peterdebeer8765 never say never. There are some other channels with guys are really good at trolling up fish, mostly offshore though.
I knew that since you didn't pay your tax that the you would pay a higher tax later, a and you did. Lol!
Dam tax man!!
you huff and puff a bit. you need some cardo training.
Probably.
I do pull pretty hard to get fish in parks the sharks. I have moved the sound camera to just under my neck too…..
I often have bruises on my hips from the but of the rod if i’m fishing around sharks.
