Peter Herbst Fishing
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2021
Fishing started at a very early age for me as I grew up on banks of Albert river where we fished and crabbed firstly from our property. Soon after, carting the 6hp Johnson and fuel tank from the house to the tinny tied to the bank soon became a weekly occurrence.
Many years of fishing both with bait and lures followed in the SEQ area.
For the last 20yrs I have worked in the fishing industry, both in wholesale and retail which has given me a good understanding of fishing tackle.
Beyond my work places, I also wrote hundreds of magazine articles, numerous presentations and for the last 2 years, TH-cam videos.
In these videos I target the species I enjoy catching casting lures using the latest of equipment and electronics in my 5m Ozy built Bassco boat.
Hope you enjoy the fishing!

Moreton Bay shallows producing!
Mixed results fishing at the end of 2024.
The shallows have fished fairly well early in the morning but the jew and mackerel have somewhat disappeared around the new moon cycle.

XMAS Spottie Mackerel in MORETON BAY/ Turtle Rescue!
มุมมอง 7K19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
This week I fish shallow to start the day off but find the fishing a bit slow. Doing this, I stubble upon a turtle tangled up in a crab pot rope. Despite not having a knife in the boat, I was able to free the turtle and keep the crab pot intact. After this, I head wide to look for mackerel and find them I did!
What's biting after the rain in MORETON BAY?
มุมมอง 22K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
It finally stopped raining! So I headed out to see how the water was and what was on the chew. Happy to report the water isn't too bad in some areas and there's enough going on with the fish to keep me happy!
Fishing the BRISBANE river and MORETON bay
มุมมอง 7K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
Bad weather and heaps of rain have made getting out a little tricky. The Brisbane river can be great fishing at this time of year, so I keep going there in hope of some fun fishing. It’s also a protected option on a southerly wind… This week I have a fish in the river then send it in the bay in a bit of wind to see what’s happening out there.
Who said Northerlies are BAD for FISHING?
มุมมอง 6Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Far from Ideal conditions but sometimes you just gotta go fishing!! Wind, rain and work have not allowed me to be on the water as much of late and with a bad forecast coming up, I just had to go hit the bay up for a fish. The wind was worse than forecast but it was well worth the effort as there were plenty of fish in close and I had a productive yet short session in Moreton Bay.
Monduran 121cm giant Barramundi
มุมมอง 4.5Kหลายเดือนก่อน
The Barra bug is real and this week I'm back at Monduran dam. The fishing gods were nice to me this trip and I was able to smash my PB Barramundi out of the pack with an epic sized fish. Doing it in the daylight with a mate and my favourite technique was the icing on the cake!
Back Fishing the Brisbane River

This week I head to the port of Brisbane to see what happening there as I have over-looked it for some time. Fishing was tough but a managed a couple fish. Little extra video too this week from a recent session chasing some big shallow water Threadfin Salmon.
Straight On The Fish! Hot trip to Monduran.
มุมมอง 9K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
With the Barra bug biting me hard, I just had to tow the boat up again on my next work trip. My mate Damien come up as well with his boat so we could cover more water if we needed and he was going to stay longer than I was. It didn't take long to find some fish and the 1st fish hit the deck after only 1 hour of fishing. The fishing continued from there all arvo with one of the best bites I had ...

Bucket list fishing for Barramundi / MONDURAN DAM
มุมมอง 8K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
This week I quickly stop at Monduran Dam on a work trip up north. This was one of my best trips as I fished a small area, caught some crackin fish and din't fish too hard or long. I highly recommend fishing the dam as its a great place to be on the water with the opportunity of catching some giant Barramundi!
Fishing MORETON BAY Reef Edges
มุมมอง 6K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Short window good weather this week as northerly winds start of the spring season. Fishing was a bit tough and all the action around the early tide change. Had some wins and big losses fishing shallow with the light gear. Getting 'smoked' is half the fun of fishing the shallows of MORETON BAY as it's 'do or die' fishing!
Back to Monduran Dam/First time for 2024
มุมมอง 6K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
After a very long break, I finally got back to Mondy to chase some impoundment Barramundi once again. I was very rusty and made some bad decisions at the start of this trip before settling in and fishing as I have in the past and got the job done. I'm very keen to get back up there as I have a lot to learn about these special fish in this great location.
The best spot in MORETON BAY?

Quick run over to my favourite spot in MORETON BAY. Horse shoe bay with the family for a swim in the hot conditions.Absolute cracker of day in a awesome location! Just happen to have a fishing rod and the boat and thought I'd have a few casts while we were out there...
PLENTY happening at the PIN / GOLD COAST FISHING

After a long time planning, I finally got out with Rodney from Addict tackle Tweed Heads. The plan was to target flathead at the Jumpinpin. We ticked that off and lots more as plenty of different species hit the deck on an enjoyable day with Rodney.

My faith in humanity has been that little bit more revived after you putting in the effort with the turtle, on ya mate 👍
@@markdiehard cheers Mark, was great to see it swim away strong.
Happy new year Pete Another good video
@@michaelgibson9982 cheers Michael!! You too.
First time sub, do you use fluorocarbon as a leader or not at all?
@@markdiehard welcome to the channel mate! Mostly fluorocarbon but I do use Nylon for specific scenarios.
Great vid Pete. What setup do you use for mackerel?
@@mattadventures25 cheers Matt. NS SW Game rod, saragosa 5k, pe3 and Amergari flavie 110 stickbaits.
After a great video like that ya gotta add in a pic of all those squid lined up. Great haul
@@codygpx14 cheers mate. Great feed!!
Another goood vid peter. Were there no jew or snaps at Harries?
@@richardsnelgrove9795 very quiet at harries. I only fish it if I see a good show of fish, otherwise I just keep moving.
Great vid. Im new to fishing the bay/seaway, what are you looking for in the way of structure to find placea that produce like this.
@@Peil_lc200 thanks mate! This spot isn’t full on reef but more rocky bottom. The key to it is the current imo. Finding structure with the right sort of depth that gets good current on it is the key imo. Different places at different stages of the tide and tide directions. Can be complicated but that’s the fun of it all, working it out over time.
@Peter_Herbst_Fishing thanks mate. Looking forward to your next vid. Cheers
Great vid. Any plans for offshore this year
@@peterdebeer8765 cheers mate. Yeah will get out there soonish I recon.
Triple karma points saving the turtle Pete. BTW, what size Saragossa do you have on the SW Game rod. Looking to match my 6000 with something similar to yours
@@normgood2467 cheers Norm! It’s a 5k which is same body size as your 6k. I should have bought the 6k 🤦♂️.
Hey Pete. What stores stock the NS rods in Brissy.? I’m bayside
@ bayside bait and tackle mate.
Turtlely Awesome Bro 🤙🤙
@@aussieflybum165 🤣
Unreal Threadfin! Is that the River Heads boat ramp in the background?
Awesome job on the turtle mate
@@epic_tangles cheers mate. Glad to help it out!
That turtle would have been so greatful for your effort, well done.
@@glynndoyle8939 cheers mate, it seemed pretty happy to get out of that mess that’s for sure 😀.
Good work with the turtle, keep the good content coming. I like the run down on the gear as well.
@@janarthansrikantha3072 cheers, was great to free it and see it swim off! Will do 😀
What the name of the grubs that you use peter. Have a good new year 🎉

@Peter_Herbst_Fishing ok
Thanks for the practical tips on catching spotties Peter. Been out 4 times this season without success , Happy New Year.
@@seastrength1291 they can be hard to find at times that’s for sure! Cheers mate 🙏
Great work with the turtle enjoying the channel keep up the great work love the information you share.
@@andrewburrell5814 thanks Andrew!
Good man, Pete to the rescue!. Hope you had a good Chrissy and have good new year mate..seen some monsters hanging out always just before the bar, I'm sure it's where the big tigers grab em in the shallows.
Awesome fishing Peter! Im gonna have to go chase some of those spotties in the bay never caught them there only on the gc. Well done on helping the turtle👍👍
@@Nortonhoad few out there, hopefully more on the lead to the full moon. Cheers mate 🙏
Good on you buddy 👌🐢

Nice one mate
@Rohan-m3k cheers Rohan!
First fishing boat I've ever heard of without a knife. Anyway great work, awesome result 👏
@@BigBopper-zm1kf it has a knife now 🤣. Cheers mate , it sure was a better result for the crab pot owner too.
Keep the vids coming! Always look forward to my Sunday afternoon watch 😃
@@claycor5990 thats the plan Clay, glad you enjoy 😀
Hey mate great vid just wondering how you see the Mackie without busts and splashes
@Rohan-m3k sometimes they swim close to the surface and ‘push’ the water which I can see. Tried to zoom the footage to show that but may not have been very noticeable.
What a champion
@@Cmcfishingfactorie thanks mate 🙌
Well done, the turtle rescue must have made you feel good and then the spotty mackerel, great. The comment I must make is be aware that if you are in Queensland, which I think you are, you now need to be wearing a suitable Pfd in an open boat when you are on your own. Please check the new regulations,,,,
@@WayneEvans-zy8kv was great to free the turtle and see it swim off. Thankfully I own a Bassco which is 5m and in qld it is for boats under 4.8m in length.
Go to catch the fish
@@gerardfrench2565 always
Yearh
Holly crap mate! You did done good right there! That was unexpected from your usual video's. Good stuff!
@@brushitoff503 cheers mate!!
Well done Pete! That is one lucky turtle. Am I the only fisherman who thinks there are too many crab pots out there , in use or abandoned , with no limit of new ones being sold? Anyway .... nice Spotties!
@@pedrothefisherman5029 cheers mate, happy it was ok in the end! Unfortunate thing really, I’m not into crabbing myself but I believe it’s like anything, accidents happen.
Wicked vid mate wad this in the harries vicinity hoping to try locate some for once 😂
@@thebayslayer1 cheers mate, sure was. Hopefully lead to the full moon they come on the chew again.
Hey Pete if you mind me asking what size jigheads do you use for the size plastic you generally use when fishing for small fish tailor small snapper ect
@@2466dfgvgygddhjnvdfc hey mate! In shallow 3-5m I use 1/6, then step to 1/4 or 3/8 if running hard.
Monster fish woah! Rekon you could show us what your looking at on the sounder some time please? Love the videos, seen heaps and still learning just not catching much yet 😂
Nice one mate. Love me some spottie action! Tasty to boot
@@danieltaylor757 I had forgotten how good fresh Spotties is! Butter and salt 😍
Indeed mate. A little cracked pepper and fresh squeeze of lime juice as well 🎉
🐢Great save. Nice catch for Xmas 👍
@@Paul-L125 cheers Paul. They eat so well 😍. Macs that is, not the turtle 🤣
Awesome work with the turtle & mackies! I think ive got more knifes than rods in my boat 😂
@@DaleBarass cheers mate, I just needed 1 !! I had 10 rods in the boat 🤣🤣
@Peter_Herbst_Fishing I'm going to try your method for finding mackies too which makes sense. 4 visits to measure mile and nothing for us.
@ hopefully the lead up to the full moon see’s plenty of Spotties in the bay.
@Peter_Herbst_Fishing looks like bad weather though unfortunately mate. I'm off till 6th so will be out given the chance.
Nice one mate. Merry Christmas. 👍🐟🎄
@@Spiltwinefishing cheers Nigel!! You too mate.
Love the vids Pete, any tips for fishing Moreton bay for the first time?
@@zachschulz2960 thanks Zach! I find the reef edges at 1st light very productive for small snaps and sweetlip this time of year mate.
Cheers Pete I’ll give it a go
Not gunna lie , I nearly fell outta my arm chair when you said I actually don’t have a knife on me 😂that boat is kitted to the nines and no knife lol , another great video Peter I’m only a recent subscriber but I’m learning a lot watching your videos so I’m very grateful . The mackerel was the turtle release karma cashing in I reckon . Happy new year to btw
@@jamie_d___ bit of a rookie error that one mate! Cheers mate, glad you are getting something from the vids 😀. Happy new year to you too and you could be right about the karma as it was slow going before that 🤣.
Good job on the turtle !!
@@gregcurtisfishing3558 cheers Greg! Glad to see it swim off.
Nice! First time you have come into my feed. Subscribed. What boat and motor do u run?
@@thomask837 hey Thomas! My boat is a Bassco Hurricane (built of an old Haines hunter hull) with a Mercury 115 pro xs four stroke. Welcome to the channel, I try to get weekly videos out from Brisbane area and beyond.
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishingthanks mate. Heading out on the bay tomorrow 😊
Merry Christmas from my channel to yours. Sometimes the rain brings on the bite. New sub here.
@@LLDWITHJ thanks Jay! Sure can 😎
Hi peter, I have a question for you, does your flooring get hot with the sun. We have normal marine carpet and you can't walk on it with bare feet, so We were wondering if your type is any better. Thanks in advance. Love watching your videos.
@@vinceandshirleycross7136 cheers mate! I recon the seadeck is cooler than the carpet I had in the previous boat. That could be due to the colour but I do think it is cooler than carpet.
Pete, what did you say your sons name was ?
@@81carrerasc Riley

There’s nothing better than being on the water in flat conditions with fish biting all around you. Awesome stuff.
