Cant help smiling while watching your excitement when you hook up. As always another great demo and explanation. Love it. Keep up the great work John.
Your such a legend man. Love seeing how amped you get when you hook up.
Anyway, im going lure shopping right now
Love your work , love your excitement , excellent fishing . You are a natural presenter easy to listen to , thanks
What a beast John. Can only imagine the feeling catching one that big. Great fish, thanks for tips.
Awesome vid, I’ve been trying to do some of this fishing and I have not been too successful, I’ll try some of the your tips, thanks a lot. 👍
Cheers for the vid
Great clip monster croc well done and great info
Cheers Tony. Good to hear you’ve got something from it mate
Gday another belter of a vid man. So informative mate. What bc set up u using to throw those big swim baits please mate.
Nice video
Great video! I bet you would love the Gan craft 178 floater for this technique, it’s a killer bait and can be worked efficiently in shallow water
I know that feeling you get from hooking up to a croc , watching you play that flatty had me just as pumped .
It’s damn well addictive stuff isn’t it mate. Surprised the hell outa me once I got it happening
@@mylurebox I do most of my flatty bashing down at St George's Basin because I live in Canberra now , I did a lot of game fishing out of Jervis Bay , spent years chasing beakies and tuna but now I love catching estuarine species casting or jigging lures . I have been getting into the natives around the local dams and lakes on swimbaits and really love the strikes on lures . Love your vids by the way, you keep it real and no bullshit. My pb platycephalus was 92cm foul hooked after it missed the lure , bought it up sideways and was lucky it didn't get off . Happy snaps and released back into the system. Definitely going to try more glydebaits in the shallows . Cheers
Hey mate. If you haven't already, get yourself a Jackall Gantia. 180mm, floating, 3 joints. Most amazing swim action I've seen.
I’ve got a couple of em eh. Gotta give em more time in the water this season
Great Vid....particularly the commentary " Im on Get Stuffed Im on!! :)
Hahahaa. Great stuff. You never know what’s gonna pour out when those giants take off on the other end of the line hahaha
Great video just wondering if you can give me a link as to where I can get these lures? And where in Australia is this?
Hey mate what size rod do you use for the big swim baits ? I have a Gary Loomis 10-20pound I don’t think I could throw the bigger baits out. Any info would be appropriated?
Never mind I kept watching and u tell us what rod u use 😂
Could I possibly use the same rod
to chase Barra?
Throwing those swimbaits gets me all kinds of excited haha. I was fishing with one yesterday with no luck. How many hours would you recommend using the swim bait for some kind of success? Tough question, so many factors but just a general answer!!
that flatty whitty got was in a sammy hitzhy vid
Great vid mate, been watching heaps of ya vids , Just got me a old edge tracker that I'm looking forward to the casting deck n snake electric .....will keep this vid in mind for big girl lizards ....KRACKA
Mate those Edge Trackers were my next upgrade I had in mind before I realized another boat was outa the question for a while yet. They’re an epic set up and with decks would be so good!!
@@mylurebox the 3.7 MTR tracker I scored, hasn't been in salt water at all ,used only in dams , 2012 15 HP Merc is like brand new , only downside is previous owner used auto wire for nav, anchor and LED lights, plus a 8 gang , double 12 volt,USB port panel...so will need to rewire it but will enjoy setting it up how I want it....OHH and a way overkill 54 lb Watersnake with remote .......Can't wait to get skipping plastics next summer, thanks for all your info in your vids ....hugely beneficial to a newbie like me ....KRACKA
Hey mate do you use only floating glide baits?
Get stuffed (famous words of a yak fisho) your in a real water craft, glade that crapski is parked in the shed.
Another quality Costello production, full of incredible info.
👍👍
Cheers Tony ;) great to hear you’re enjoying em mate
I was at bcf the other day and seen the Savage gear glide baits and they had a deal on for $10 and I was super surprised by the action,defiantly recommend swapping out the trebles to something abit more fine gauge, but for $10 a pop there's no fear about smashing em right in close for some big bass and big Jack's haha
For sure mate. They’re hard to walk past for that ;)
Can you use 8lb line if it’s a small swim bait
What kayak are you using?
What a catch! Why does no one seem to keep their catch?
Where did you get those camo pants ? look comfy .
The father in law ;) Ex army
Thanks for the vid mate. So minimum size ~150mm you reckon? My best flatties over the years have been all caught on an old (1980's) 15cm Nilsmaster Invincible in a now defunct mullet pattern.
I know the lure you’re talking about ;) I reckon anything around the 18cm is ball park. You can’t go too big from what I’ve seen. The game is changing and I don’t know how far it’s going to keep going with the size thing
There’s lures that stand the test of time hey. Those incredibly special designs. Some of these big baits might be a passing fashion, but right now they’re in vogue and those big fish love em
You said you would review the new swimbaits & show them in action. You did not fail to deliver. I think you were surprised when the big flathead took the lure & you found your landing net was not equal to the task. I will not be purchasing or using these swimbaits. Beyond the capacity of my wallet. For those that can use them, I wish them good luck & success. I look forward to more of your videos whether reviewing lures or fishing. I come from a position of ignorance so all information received is a bonus for me.
Thanks for your message and interest in my reviews and vids mate ;) glad to hear you’re enjoying em.
Aparrently zerek live mullets rolled over the flats actually work well for me but the purple or pink colour works in brackish water and lure box what river do you fish in?
Hi Taylor, thanks for the heads up. I’ve gotta give em a run for sure. I usually fish the systems an hour or so either side of the Gold Coast. The bigger systems and Broadwater being my preference for the big flatties
Ok cheers!
Hey John how do you think the zerek affinity would go for Jack's
I’m excited about em. Bloody game throwing me around where Jacks live but I’ll be trying for sure.
@@mylurebox I'm keen to see how they go I differently think you mite draw some larger Jack's out.im just hoping to get my first red dog on the board this season
What’s ur favourite colour in the zerek afinaty
The white and the ayu from the video are it Taylor ;)
Ok cheers mate!
Probably a bit late, but will ask. Are you using the 200 or 300 size Curado baitcaster? I am assuming 300 with the weight of some of those swimbaits. Thanks in advance.
Hey mate. I was using the 200. A 300 woulda been nice though eh
@@mylurebox, thanks for the reply. I have the 200 and a Calcutta 400B so wondering if the 300 fits the bill as the 400 can be heavy for all day use.
@@theoriginalj7732 yeah mate. That’s why I tried it out with the 200 first. Weight throwing swim baits all day gets ya I reckon.
Hey mate, is this on the gold coast?
Yeah Mate ;) I fish mostly from Sunny Coast to Coffs
