Every creek around here has jacks in it, I haven't fished for jacks there for a couple of years but they are definitely in there.

@@umutturan-w1g 😂😂 lucky our fish are dumb lol, what country are you from mate?

@ Turkey. Altinoluk :)

@@umutturan-w1g WOW, I think you are the first person from Turkey to leave a comment on one of my vids, hope you have been catching a few👍👍👍

@@danstocks2906 Thanks Dan, was a pleasure to meet you mate, hope you have been getting a few, was hoping to have another crack tomorrow Arvo but this southerly winds wrecked my plans

In this vid I used a clear plastic poddy mullet trap, but I also catch them just on bread and very small whiting hook, I have a vid showing how to catch mullet which shows how I catch them on bread. Thanks for watching mate.

@ thx mate where did u buy the trap from mate

@@ytryze5928 I got it from Reel It In Poddy Mullet Trap, google it but be warned they are not cheap, works a bit better than a home made one from a plastic container but probably wouldn't pay for another one if this one breaks

@@LoveYakken wow 135 dollar

@@ytryze5928 lol, I got mine a few years ago and it was about $100, yeah not cheap but they are very well made, but my home made one out of a $5 clear plastic container does nearly as well.

@@PaulVanDenBoom I think it's a monster jack that's collecting shiny lures to decorate it's home with 😂😂

Cheers Dave, yeah she was a solid girl.

I like the idea of red hooks, I use a few lures that have red around where the gills would be so it looks like a wounded bait fish bleeding from the gills. Cheers mate I'll give it a crack.

@@209DYL Hey mate, are you on Instagram? If so send me a DM, would be keen to check out your lures.

@@LoveYakken No sorry I don't have Instagram

No worries, how can I contact you?

I keep the odd one if it is hooked in the gills or eye and probably not going to survive, they are a tasty fish but only keep a few each season, too special to eat

Hard spot to land base, not a lot of access

Use to be great food at the Hoey, haven't had a feed there for years, thanks for watching

I was using 30 pound braid.

Thanks! Love the videos btw i watch them all :)

@@MarkParlicki Thanks for your support 👍👍

@@ianrowan5156 Thanks Ian, this rod is an Ugly Stick Carbon, 3 to 6kg medium action, I have 30 pound braid on my reel atm.

Thanks Flynn, keep casting at those snags mate, it will happen.

100% agree, I have been getting a few around weed beds just on dark and fish light because there is no structure, good fun as the drag screams as they bolt from the shallow weed back into the deep. But casting into tight fallen trees its back to locked drag and 50-pound leader.......and still get busted up. Hope you have recovered well from your surgery mate, tight lines.

@LoveYakken cheers mate, recovering well and super keen for more jack sessions 😃

Thanks Warren, appreciate it mate.

Still no "a" key on your keypad mate lol....shame that Southerly howled in, would have loved to hit it again. Cheers m8 lol

Thanks mate, but still cursing the one I couldn't turn......but that's what keeps you keen I guess,

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it, I find the spot a bit hit and miss but it has its days.

I have a plastic anchor that's made to use with kayaks but rarely use it. It's called a Coopers Anchor if you want to google it.

@@LoveYakken How do you stay in the one spot then or stay next to a little whiting hole ?

@@stringbean1010 I tend to drift with the tide most of the time, but I do have an old tent pole I keep inside my kayak that I put through the scupper hole of the kayak into the sand to anchor if Im fishing shallow whiting/flathead banks. You can see it in my video "Fishing the flats, exploring new flathead grounds" Only works in water up to a meter and a half deep.

Good luck mate, plenty of spots to explore in the yak.

Hey mate, no sinker and no float, just really light braid and leader. I'm squashing the bread onto the hook so it's like dough which gives it a bit of weight to cast, don't need to cast far, then I really slowly wind in so it stays near the surface, hope that helps, good luck 🤞

Thanks for your reply. Have a great weekend.

You too, tight lines.

No it's not the Bellinger river, different river, prefer not to say, thanks for watching 👍👍👍👍

Thanks heaps Flynn, good to hear your getting into them, good fun, especially off the surface.

They definitely are, hope this helped you out!

@LoveYakken always enjoy learning new things mate, definitely helped

Yeah its a nice spot, other spots in our area might hold some better sized fish but this spot is just a pleasure to fish.

@@scoutylugs Hey mate, I tend to do 2 or 3 short sharp jerks then pause for a second, splash splash pause splash splash splash pause. You only want to move your rod tip a few inches but fast to give the lure a big splash but not move forwards as little as possible.....if that makes sense.

@ awesome - makes sense, thx.

@@scoutylugs No worries mate, good luck

Cheers mate

Thanks for that Paul, sounds like the jack bug has got you good too. I just watched your cod vid, that's a species I haven't chased yet, I might have to give them a crack this season.

Yeah its been a slow start, good luck Luke.

Thanks mate, keeps the vids coming I really look forward to them, learned so much too, caught my first jack after buying a lure I seen in your video, thank heaps

@@LukeHerbert-j7c Thats awesome, cheers Luke

we got the shout out 😎🐟

Probably should have had a flick this arvo with this storm rolling in, thanks for watching Tim, hopefully this is the start of them firing up.

Tom was that your plastic? was right where you guys were fishing

@ yeah they love a pre storm bite with that biometric pressure change. I just picked up a second hand hobie today for a bargain so keen to try it out next weekend. Love the videos mate my dad actually watches all of them too. Good content

Thanks Tim, good luck with the new yak, prob see you out there.

Thanks mate, get into em, good luck.

Hey Dan, yeah this time last year they were going nuts. They are there but not feeding hard for whatever reason, thanks for your input, glad its not just me.

Im using the 4" lightly weighted (hidden weight on belly of hook) slow rolling it a few inches under the surface over fallen trees/logs like how you would see a mullet swimming.

Ghost (white) or Lime Tiger (light green) are the ones I tend to use the most, natural colours, but not sure if its the colour or the action that makes it work well on jacks.

just using good old power pro, diameter of 0.36mm

​@@LoveYakken bet the weasel😢 groans and creaks in protest...you got to do what ever works.

@@davidraguse2106 4000 sized reel, power pro braid

No probs👍

@@subtlesigns thanks for watching mate, sorry don't want to say on here where it is.

@LoveYakken No worries mate I think I have an idea. Take care 🙏

@@poomanchew75 thanks, mate. Good luck over your holidays, hope you find a few👍👍

Your not wrong, it's a tug of war to keep them out of the snags, good fun👍

Agreed, it's top lure, not the cheapest, tend to do a bit of swimming for it if snagged up lol.

Your not wrong, it's pretty special.👍

Pretty spot, yeah the bird sounds really set the scene, lots of whip birds and those tiny bright blue kingfishers. Water quality must be good to have platypus calling it home. Its not all about the fishing at these spots. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment mate.

@@LoveYakken enjoying your channel.👍

Thanks for your comment, yeah its one of those magic spots that you just want to keep drifting down to see whats around the next bend but know the further you go the harder its going to be to get back.

Hi Clinton, grab yourself a few bass lures, watch a few vids and get out there and have a go. The trial and error is all part of it, and being out in scenic areas like this is well worth it,

Cheers mate, the rivers over 150kms long and I have only seen about 15kms of it so far. Thanks for your comment.
