Thanks Ross, Yes i would definitely like a new boat i want to go the whole hog when i get one so it will be expensive.This current boat has evolved over decades so i am reluctant to just get another cheap boat because it will take quite some time to get it up to the functionality of this boat, there are a lot refinements that are not obvious to the casual observer.The boat is in being welded up at the moment and i have moved the trailer skids back 140mm to take pressure off the area that keeps getting cracks while it's on the trailer so we will see how that goes, also the new boat I would get would be bigger so I might need a new car as well.

@@akhector Yes, I can see your tinnie has been personalised to just how you want it. Good luck with the new one and I do know about the 'expense' of a new boat.

@rossevans1774 thanks Ross, I am the first to admit that some of the refinements are somewhat eccentric! Would you believe it has 3 on board lithium battery chargers under the front section out of the weather so it is great when you stay at a caravan park or want to plug them into a generator.Yes they reckon that BOAT stands for "Bring Out Another Thousand!"

Thanks Andrew

Thanks Andrew you have the ideal boat for it.It's certainly not short of Sambar deer either.I wonder if you could use the Active target to locate the trout in the creeks, so you know where to cast.Maybe you could even fit in a LPG heater in the boat.

Thanks Ross I think carp, yellowbelly frames or trout frames would work just as well as long as it is fish.I had 60 litres of fuel but I do get adventurous and go to places as far as Italian Point which burns a lot of fuel and fuel is heavy to carry.I put the redfin frames in cryovac bags in lots of 10 because that will bait 10 nets.The redfin frames where from times when the redfin were a bit easier catch! And they were not looking too flash.The spinners and worms definitely catch fish behind fenders and cowbells I just haven't used them behind dodgers much.Look forward to any future videos you might make.I had the reflective tape on the floats, another idea I got from you Croc Tape is bomb it sticks better than others.

@@akhector excellent 👌. I want to trial chemical light sticks in the floats for night yabbying, and number them in case I miss one. Cheers, mate.

Nice! The floats will look like a night club, the Dart's going to be "Lit" as the younger generation might say,will look cool on video The numbers sound like a good idea

Thanks Michael I try to put information in there

Word up Homie! I have managed to get it shorter by 30min than the last one over a similar amount of days.I had a bit of Covid with some of the narration in the earlier parts of the video that's why it sounds extra nasally!

@@akhector Awesome, I'm half way through and loving it. I'm glad you took the right kind of ice. 😂😂😂 I hope you're over Covid. 🙏

@robbiefishing Thanks Homie I didn't realise until I said it that it didn't sound wholesome so just had to confirm it was the frozen type! Yes well and truly over the covid 3-6 months immunity get in me now!

Yes Michael they always seem to be close to the edges hence why i was trying to troll close to the edges at one stage, at times it works well when the lure takes a different path to the boat in a sharp turn, yes Redfin frames + night time + 20-30ft of water = yabbies!

Thanks mate, every video I learn somthing new, I just stumble upon new techniques others I learn off TH-cam.Hopefully getting a second gopro soon so I can have more angles and some underwater shots.

Thanks Mick glad you like them i know i'm a bit different but that's who i am! always thinking of ways to improve the videos looking at getting a second gopro soon so that will give me more options.

Nice! I sent an email with my contact details, I didn't want to try to send it to the old number because they might of allocated it to someone else by now.

Thanks Michael the biggest is 7.7lb 65cm casting a soft plastic right up one of the creeks that fish Was realeased hence why I might say in the video " I reckon casting gets the bigger fish" !

Thanks Steve if you like the kayak the "kayak Fishing The Broken River" would be the one to watch if you haven't seen it already.

G'day Michael, If you give trolling a go it's only a matter of time and you will get one if your in the right spot at the right time, 13gm Tassie Devils trolled on relatively light line 4-6lb mono or braid up to 10lb, troll at about 3.8km/h.Your chances will be better first and last couple of hours of daylight, overcast days are a lot better they hate bright sunlight, a bit of chop on the water is good if you can tolerate it, somtimes you can get nothing at all in a particular spot somtimes in the same spot you have to fight them off with a stick if you get on to a bite window, at times they can go crazy for no apparent reason that's the magic of fishing it's very unpredictable.

Thanks Doug Yes it is a pretty hectic system, it's a dream spot if you enjoy a more active form of fishing!

Thanks Joe!

Thanks Michale, that Codger was the only one i had so i ordered 3 more after seeing they work so well i ordered extra deep thinking thats what i was using in the video but turns out the bib is bigger on these new ones so it will be interesting if they work alright i am just hoping they don't move around too much in the air, you can never have too deep, gives the lure better crash diving ability you just might have to hold the rod up a bit to stop it dredging the botom!

@@akhector yep I recon elks in albury sell them i might have a look they would be good in the river bed at mulwala aswell I reckon mate

@@michalesinclair5274 It would be great if they sold them would save on postage costs i looked on their online store and couldn't find them but that might not have everthing in the shop it would be great if you could let us know if you get some from there, it's the shape of them that attracts me being heavier in the rear end which is good for casting but these extra deep ones look like they would go deeper than most lures that size they have the same size bib as a 85mm JD Superbug but not as much Bouyancy about the deepest thing i know of is the big JD Python 140mm it will go 35ft down with 50lb Braid

@@akhector yep I'm fishing bundalong fishing comp in the morning with ray parry from obsession spinnerbaits then of to Adelaide Sunday night so I have a look Tuesday morning when I get get back from SA and let you know sandy

Awesome stuff hope you get a few, It can be worth it if you put in the extra effort, high energy fishing is what I am all about. I haven't heard of that river you are going to i will have to goggle it, sounds pretty exotic I am guessing that it is pretty heavily snagged.

@@akhector at intents fishing Yarrawonga mulwala have the codger lures mate

@michalesinclair5274 great stuff thanks! I might be over that way in the not too distant future it is getting towards that time of year

@@akhector absolutely mate

Thanks Ross that means a lot coming from you, I get a lot of inspiration from your channel.I am loving the Movavi Video Editor i should of got this a long time ago so much better, only thing i used one of songs included in the program and when I uploaded the video it came back copyrighted content so it was the opening music, I had to swap it out that's why it's a bit abrupt with no fade out and a bit louder than I'd like, it turns out someone that doesn't own the songs is putting false copyright claims on the songs included in Movavi so I don't think I will use any of those again i need to look outside of the You Tube Library there are only so many good tunes in there.

Thanks Homie! A group of Kangaroos came down to the waters edge which would of been good but I am not sure what happened to that footage, you should be able to disable photo and time-lapse modes! You can never have too many cameras! I reckon there is footage from 8 different cameras in this I still really want another gopro the price for the older models doesn't come down much.Those Codgers are good like a 3/4 Jd superbug, you have always got to use a 30+ foot diver when the river rarely gets deeper than 5ft!

@@akhector haha that's so funny. And true. A 30ft diver in 5 feet of water. I have a feeling adventure camping and fishing sell codgers, but if they don't, I'm almost certainly that Trelly's do. And they have an online store.

Word Up Homie! I can't see how much the postage is at Trelly's they won't tell you until you go to pay might have to ring Adventure Camping And Fishing and swing by there when I am in the area or maybe get the Jetsonator to get me some from Trellys if he is coming up this way

Thanks Michael I hope you didn't mind me mentioning your name a couple of times in the video I do admire the speed that you fish at, i like the way you reef in those surface lures back in once they are out of the most likely strike zone near the bank or structure. I wish you could buy the Codgers in shops in Albury/Wodonga I have only got the one that you saw in the video i found that one, I can see I will be acquiring more in the not to distant future! I still had to cover some water after dark because I like to be in that zone which is furthest from the access points, if I had of gone more upstream I would of been getting closer to the next access point.

All good Sandy, great vid- enjoyed it@@akhector

Thanks Michael you seem pretty easy going

I am so glad you liked the natural sound of nature i consiously wanted to capture that in the video, it is really a special place there i don't like to overdo the music

Thanks for the positive feedback, I was hoping that people can apply some of the techniques to their own fishing, that is the idea.I have only just seen your comment now, somtimes you Don't get a notification when someone comments but now I have just downloaded the TH-cam studio app which gives more information

I am fishing the Ovens River below Wangaratta

Thanks mate l have to get up there

Thanks Noel I troll Dartmouth with Ford fenders/cowbells and worms myself on occasions and for that I like to troll about 2.5km/h so in that situation i think the Ford Fenders/Cowbells are better for that, Dodgers are better for higher speeds like you use when trolling lures like Tassie devils, for those type of lures I like about 3.8km/h, the Dodgers create a lot less drag at these speeds.I have caught Trout with Cowbells with a Tassie devil behind them at 3.8km/h (cowbells are better at higher speed than Fenders) but the amount of drag is not ideal, You couldn't use the slider rig I use in conjunction with cowbells because when it slides down to the botom lure when you get a fish ect you will get the mother of all tangles because of the spinning blades, that is a big advantage of the Dodgers they don't tangle much.It is hard to explain how you navigate a route with the trolling motor connected to your sounder but your electric trolling motor and your sounder have to be compatible to connect together so if you have got a lowrance sounder you need to have a Motorguide or Lowrance Ghost Trolling motor if you have a Hummingbird sounder that is compatible with Minn Kota, I have heard you can get extra adapters to make other brands like Garmin to connect to Minn Kota ect but information on that is pretty hard to come by.Your sounder has to be a more high end unit to have the capability to connect to your trolling motor I have got the Lowrance HDS 7, this video shows how you physically connect your Lowrance sounder to your Motorguide xi5 trolling motor using the extra gateway kit/NMEA 2000 starter kit th-cam.com/video/nVkztApaAvw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0c8cNbYBc0l40SKB I am still looking for a video on how you plot a route on your lowrance sounder then make your trolling motor follow it, I just kind worked it out through trial and error, that could be a good video to make because I can find one yet. Cheers tight lines

Thankyou they are also the biggest freshwater fish in Australia, they can grow a lot bigger than the ones in this video 120cm +

Thanks, yes the pattern on them is pretty detailed it's pretty hard for artists to replicate in paintings ect

Thanks Scott, I do enjoy trying to make new gadgets ect that's part of the fun for me.

Thanks mate! thanks so much for the sub

Great stuff! Thanks heaps

Awesome Mate Thanks!

Word Up Homie! An Echindna swimming across the river must be rarer than I thought if you haven't seen it all that often I am kicking myself I didn't get a close up of it I thought I was filming with my phone but I wasn't 🤦‍♂️I hope you don't mind me saying "see you later mate" you started somthing when you got me to say it in your Lake Hume Trout fishing video!

That bloke backstroking across Lake Hume on an 8 degree day in the middle of Winter would of been as Random as it gets in a video!

Thanks Michael the river is alive with activity, I didn't want to put in too much background music so people could just experience the natural environment there somtimes a bit too much activity as far as the mosquitos after dark!

Thanks Homie that means a lot coming from you.I didn't employ the screen mirroring of the sounder when you came out I thought you might get technology overload as you like to keep thing simple!

Troy Boy is exactly as he appears in the Video, you can't say a bad word about him I don't know of anyone that doesn't like him.

@@akhector haha you knowe very well. I probably would have been a bit technically overloaded. LOL

Thanks Andrew I was hoping the Downrigger bit wasn't too boring, but I think it is good for someone who wants to start using them.Yes Troy Boy is a true gentleman I don't know of anyone that doesn't like him.

Thanks Peter yes you have had an influence on my fishing for sure i appreciate that, you have gotta go all those 1 percenters they all add up

@@akhector I like that way of thinking, I was sensing the law of diminishing returns after 31 years of hunting browns at Euc until I realised its the adventure we seek up at Eucumbene , the time out and being with our tribe not really the fish we catch, that gets us back there every year, cheers trouti

@peterthompson230 Yes that's it! I absolutely love this quote Some men fish all their lives without knowing it is not really the fish they are after. - Henry David Thoreau

G'day Peter just watched your Eucumbene Extreme video awesome stuff! Great to see you happy and enjoying life, some quality fish there! You fit all that into just a Saturday and Sunday that's pretty extreme in itself 2:30am start that is extreme but as they say the early bird gets the worm, I like your style it's hard to get anyone who is extreme these days, some great info there i think i need to go a lighter leader just read article by Kaj Bush and he reckons it makes a lot of difference I had to comment here because you can't put a comment on your video I think when you have uploaded it you have ticked "yes it's made for kids" if you do that comments are not available you can edit go back into youtube and untick that box so comments are enabled that's if you want that.If you want your video to fill the screen chose a 9:16 aspect ratio on your phone or camera.Well done great stuff I am guessing the white rod is the albino one!

@@akhector thanks camoman, You have to find those wild opportunities and just do it, hey!! You would have been 1 of the only people I know who would have also revelled in such a wild run. It was an ace weekend trying a new lure!! I don't have your contact details or I would have extended an invite. Thanks for tips on TH-cam -but deleting video's as I don't really know how to use this media properly? Tried calling around to catch up to you 1 day when we were walking Hunchback but couldn't remember your place, anyway, have fun. Trouti

Thanks Peter the 10lb trout has become a goal for sure.I have had the thought maybe the dodger might be too unnatural for the bigger fish might have to try the tassie on it's own, they have been hitting the fixed slider rig more than the botom lure which I have been putting about 5 feet above the bomb.Love those fixed sliders! took a while to perfect that after watching what they are using in the Great Lakes

@@akhector half of the 28 browns we caught over 3 seasons, dodg

Dodgers were in the water, half of the trout, no dodgers. Big fish on straight tassie or cd7 x rap

@peterthompson230 thanks for that insight Peter I will have to try one downrigger with dodger and one without and compare the result, tried running the double clutch off the downrigger and didn't do any good, caught a couple on Pegrons but the tassies seem as good as anything also tried a 4" soft plastic redfin imitation but nothing on that either you would think they would climb all over that considering a lot of the trout that I kept had redfin in their stomach.

Tassie's seem to be the most consistant, although check John Rupics Hume video, 8 browns to 8lb, in 1 day, more about understanding the weir than lure, bit nat and I at Euc

Thanks Trevor, Yes filming it adds extra work for sure with the battery needing to be changed every 1hr 1/2hrs I have ordered a fitting so I can have a cord plugged in from a powerbank

Thanks Andrew It was a battle against the wind the whole time except for that for the evening session on that first day's fishing the other blokes in the group got a heap of fish trolling that evening when they could get into those big open bays in the middle of the Lake.

@@akhector I haven’t fished there so I think I’d better put it on the list

@andrewsoutdoors1802 there is no better time than now it's experiencing a boom in the fishing, everyone seems to be getting them.Be a good place for one of your videos, it's not like you mind travelling long distances to go somewhere!

@@akhector i resemble that comment 😝

Thanks Mate, I reckon you get a higher percentage of bigger ones when you cast for them, you have to work harder though!

Thanks Homie yes it is certainly a more active method of fishing getting everything under control!

Thanks Kevin I had to relearn how to do the editing and uploading to you tube.Yes I will have to film it next week, I looked into that recording 30 seconds before you press the capture button on the gopro it's called hindsight it is only on the newer ones not mine, it is still recording and using battery power to the same level the difference is it only keeps the last 30 seconds recorded on the sd card which would be very useful in a fishing situation a lot less files to sift through.

Awesome stuff Toa well done! Your Patience certainly paid off you must of tried a different area I couldn't see you for a long time.3lb is a nice fish the one I got and realeased turned out to be 3.66lb I weighed it in the net the subtracted the weight of the net.I still have yet to get the monster I am after, I know they are in there, that will keep me going back out.

Thanks sorry for the late reply, somtimes you don't see these comments for a while, you don't always get a notification when someone comments

I know it looks like i am going around a blind corner but i could see down the road through the trees past that corner from the straight stretch before the previous corner, i certainly don't go around blind corners unless i know nothing is coming the other way, as with cars motorbikes ect it is generally accepted you can go on the opposite side of the road as long as you can see far enough nothing is coming the other way.
