- After 2 years away due to Covid and travel restrictions, I finally returned to one of my all-time favourite areas in the state for a few days solo fishing, camping and 4WD'ing. There is nothing like having a beach to fish all to yourself (a rarity these days) and if the weather is good ... you just can't beat it! A bit of an epic this one, but there was just so much going on! Hope you enjoy!
This is one of a number of videos from a playlist on this area, but if you want to see the entire beach run in Coffin Bay NP in real time, here is the link:

Nice flathead, one of my favourite salt water fish. Certainly big enough for a feed. Great video Frank, looking forward to the next one. Cheers.
Thanks Glen, yes I love the flatties too, always get plenty on Kangaroo Island early in the New Year. The next video has some interesting features!
Hey Captain, nice video. Me and the wife are heading that way after Easter. Looks like more fun than carp. We just retured from a cpl of days at Yorks. Got blown away but had a nice few days camping and drowning some bait.
Thanks! Definitely more fun than carp! Where did you stay on Yorkes? I planned this trip for autumn because of the normally more stable weather, but this year it has been very windy.
@@captainfrank01 we stayed at Wattle Bay down past Edithburgh. Nice spot right on the beach just about but very windy. Lots of weed so made fishing a chore.
@@RGVJ21 Yes, know the area, fished it many times for mullet this time of year, but completely open to winds off the sea.
Excuse my dumbness, but what is a popper? great vid by the way. We stayed at the pool last year & got some nice whiting.
Thanks, glad you liked it! A popper is a small lure usually fashioned from a piece of buoyant material with a hook set in it and a few feathers attached. It bobs around in the water above the baited hooks and is often taken by a second fish when one is hooked on the bait - or can be taken by fish in preference to the baited hooks as well! It is a good way of increasing your catch without having to bait a second hook all the time. If you look at the Port Lincoln video that I did on this same trip, you will get a better idea of just how effective they can be! Yes, I really like the Pool campsite and have caught good whiting and flathead off the beach a number of times in the past.
@@captainfrank01 Ahh thanks mate I will try that.
Did you specially go to coffin Bay just for the oysters too.
No, but I may have found some.....
@@captainfrank01 Trumpeters Tommy And small baby bream. Can not wait to try and catch a Carp. I know where the 🌈 Trout are But haven't gone to give that a try yet freshwater fishing. M Lakes It's going to give that a go to catch some carp
Great Video, Ive actually caught a monster ray before! It was on a whiting and a massive stingray down at port Vincent came and it did the exact opposite of your stingray. I just was a dead weight. Ive actually got a video of it on my CZcams channel if you wanna have a look
Yes, I will have a look! I have always found that Eagle Rays fight a lot more than the big black rays, which as you say, are often just a huge dead weight. I've seen those local resident rays at Port Vincent, and they are just massive! Check out the size of the one I see in the next video!
@@captainfrank01 will do!
