No the fridge is too cold and will kill them eventually from my testing. I’ve found that in an esky with a frozen bottle to be best, so long as it doesn’t get too cold as well. And then make sure they got plenty of dry sound surrounding each worm 👍🏼

Always happy to help when I can mate, though I’m hardly a pro when it comes to chasing pelagics from the stones. But if I was new to an area I’d be looking on google earth for headlands and points I can get at, and if it’s a nice deep drop off and a reef bottom there’s a fair chance of bait fish being around and the bigger species passing through to hunt them. For beach fishing it’s half about finding good gutters to fish and then also using the right rigs and bait. I’d check out my beach tailor salmon and mulloway video for an easy and effective rig and how to spot gutters

@anglinguntangled mate you're a legend, thanks a lot.

No worries. But also, even better than what I’m telling you would be going in to the local tackle shop and asking for some advice (and don’t forget to spend a little bit of money)

That’d be the way to savour it 😂👍🏼

Much appreciated Chris and glad to hear it’s working for you. Can take a little bit of practice but still back it as the best way to fillet them. Would be nice to get chasing dusky’s in another video soon! 🤞🏼

Cheers Adam, for snelled hooks I’m still in the habit of using j hooks. The common opinion is that if you want to use a circle with snells, you only use it as the top hook and leave the bottom as j hook. Having a circle hook down in the bait may not slide as easily into the jaw as a circle hook is designed to do. But when using a single hook, which bridle rigging livebait is my favourite way of targeting mulloway, I use a circle hook. But regardless of hook choice and rig I have the drag set near full fighting drag. I think it’s much better to have it there and the fish mostly hook themselves upon hitting the bait rather than having it light and trying to let them run and swallow it. If you get a hit with j’s of course try and get to the rod asap and drive the hooks home

@@anglinguntangled​​⁠thanks mate will definitely give that a go I’ve been letting them run a few times before trying to set the hook and seem to miss a lot so definitely trying that cheers man appreciate it.

Given the chance they can but non painful. Very odd occassion they’ll be that plentiful and hungry they can bite your foot but usually when handing them

It’s a very popular spot but I won’t say exactly which one. Copped heaps of flack when I had where it was in the title - most of it complete nonsense. But one guy did have a good point so I chose to change it. It’s close to Newcastle and I’ve caught Jew off most of the beaches in the area, including the city ones. Jew are a scarce fish and you’re making it even harder by throwing baits in the surf but it also makes it that much more rewarding. Good luck mate!

Cheers mate

Cheers Xander and giving you a shout out is the least I could do. The cable tie livebait circle hook rig has become my go method for chasing our cob over here so thank you very much for taking the time to show off your methods. Always looking out for the next lakka video 😁 🍻

@ that’s great man!

Cheers, glad you’ve enjoyed it mate and hopefully helps you get stuck into them

I’m not too sure if they’re over west. I know they are around in South Australia. You’d reckon they’d survive fine so might have to start a colony if they’re not haha

Hey mate, I believe someone else commented similarly and I had no idea my actions would adversely affect the fish so much. Yes dropping fish is not good and to minimise this I place my thumb under they’re gill cover when holding to give the camera a better view, though I’m certainly not pressing my thumb into their gills. Would you have any resources I could read where fish die shortly after this has occurred, or from contacting dry sand/rocks or hands?

@anglinguntangled slime layer

Cheers! If you are just throwing lures then it will be a decent rod. But if you are going to bait fish as well I’d prob go a 12ft rod rated up to 4oz (~120g) or so. Will still cast little metal lures fine

@anglinguntangled yeah that's my plan I have the prevail2 in 12ft 6-12 kg with a 6000 reel for bait fishing Just wanting a light spin combo

Yeah perfect mate. Gotta love the prevails

Cheers mate, happy to be helping out

My pleasure mate, cheers!

Cheers Allan, I believe it is worth doing over just salting. That esky is a 42L I’m pretty sure. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think it would work just as well to make the brine and then have it in a freezer with the bait, if you wanted to do small batches or had a big enough freezer

From a metal supplier, bega steel supplies

No worries at all mate. Hopefully you get into a few

My pleasure mate cheers

Yeah my thoughts as well mate let the bigger ones go to breed. Cheers!

Yeah that’s fair enough mate. And I think compared to j hooks (suicides and long shanks etc) they have a lower hook up rate when fishing with the rod in hand. But they are brilliant when used with a rod holder, particularly with the heavy setups which are a drag to hang onto all night

@@anglinguntangled yeah they would be good fishing out deep from a boat. I’ve got mates that fish out wide and swear by them. I’ve tried them (once) side-by-side down the beach. I gave up after about an hour, missed a few fish. Probably because I kept striking, even though I knew you weren’t supposed to 😀. Switched back to my normal rig and winner winner, fish dinner.

Cheers mate. Seems such an odd thing these days to not include a line rating or cast weight but I guess those were the times. Would’ve loved for my pair to remain one pieces as well but that’s alright

@@anglinguntangled I’ve got the tech specs for most of the Butterworth/Snyder/ATS blanks made from the 70s through the 90s. I’m not sure why the info wasn’t published. Pretty sure I had a 5156G (one-piece) low mount for a time and used it for chasing dart/tarwhine/bream when I needed to fish a little heavier when the swell or sweep,was running a little. From memory a 60g (#2 star sinker) was its max chickens. I would have used 9lb mono, but 15lb would be ok.

Thank you very much mate. And yes agreed, would love to get onto a big ol jewy with it one day, and some big drummer would be good too

You’ll have a ball! Just expect to miss lots while you get your eye in

Just an estuary on the sapphire coast mate

@@anglinguntangledthanks bro

@@KhalilAlnadi It's Merimbula lake. Not far from Spencer park. They never like to share where they fish so others don't take fish from them.. They are, however happy to take a bag limit of potential females preparing to spawn.

@flintgibbs8279 Flint, I purposely don’t say where I am in the videos and if you are going to make it a mission to say where then I’ll delete those comments. I say the area and if people want to take a bit of initiative they would be able to find the exact location with their phone in a few minutes. But the last thing our small estuaries need is people going to spots that myself and other people have put the effort in to find and putting on excessive fishing pressure because they’ve been told where online. I tell people basically everything but the exact location so that they can go out and explore and find their own spots and have success. Also, the bag limit for us would have been 20 - I think we kept 8. I believe in protecting fish stocks but luderick are abundant, so I have no qualms about taking that many, even if they’re spawning

Cheers! But no unfortunately. The majority are either 120cm or 90cm though

@@anglinguntangled I understand it can be any size. Thanx for your response- cheers!

Cheers mate, I reckon the alvey will get the odd run in future videos. Yeah nice! Do you know any more info about those rods at all.

@@anglinguntangled yeah this particular model was made in the Mid 80s to early 90's. Specs are: Application: Medium Beach/Rock Blank Length: 3.96m Casting Weight: N/A Line Weight: N/A Seems like it was a very versatile rod given that the spec sheet has N/A on it.

Nice cheers mate. Yeah it feels like it bends more than it does from looking back on the video. Would love to get onto a jewy with it one day, reckon it would love it

Cheers mate! Yeah a very rugged way to fish and adrenaline pumping when you hook those good ones. Much appreciated mate will hopefully be back chasing the pigs before too long on the alvey gear

Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed

Yeah the size of some of the schools down here have been ridiculous. Plenty of seals chasing them too and seems the great whites are chasing the seals - had two encounters with divers over the last month. Cheers Stevo

Cheers mate! You might be waiting a minute for that snapper. Been struggling to get them out of the boat and if I get one in can it would be my first for off the rocks! Will try and get the circle hook worm bait covered before too long too 👍🏼

Well that’s disappointing, hopefully that cursed they’re fishing for life. Glad you enjoyed the video though

Cheers mate! My drone is the DJI mini 4 pro. Very user friendly and yeah great for spotting fish or even doing a quick run down longer beaches to spot gutters

Cheers mate and I’m keen! Let me know when you’re in the area 👍🏼

Yeah you’ll catch salmon on 50lb but 20lb is plenty
