Cheers Steven,

Thanks Nick, yeah it definitely got my heart pumping.

They are a cool looking fish at that size, thanks for watching mate

@@justinlambert4937 yeah, got a bit of a shock when I first saw it, had to edit out the words I said lol

⁠@@LoveYakkenhaha, I bet!

Sometimes you just get lucky🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍

Thanks mate, was a good day, cheers

It's just south of Coffs, all the rivers/creeks around here have plenty of flathead in them, just have to be lucky to be in the right spot right time. Good luck 👍

Thanks mate, its hard to stay patient sometimes but have learnt the hard way a few times losing bigger fish rushing it on light gear desperate to land them.

Cheers Austin, hope you've been hooking into a few.

Thanks Michael, you are right about "majestic" watching them swim off strong. I was really cautious to get her back in the water as quick as I could. I couldn't get a good camera angle without the sun behind me when holding her up but thought getting her back in the water fast was more important than a good pic. Thanks for watching.

Cheers mate, yeah it was a chilly morning to be in shorts and have wet feet lol.

Thanks for hanging in there, sorry for the wait. I have been a bit slack filming lately, been leaving the cam at home and just enjoying fishing without having to think about keeping lens clean, changing battery's etc. just enjoying the day fishing.

@@LoveYakken Awesome video, hahaha we know how you feel we do it all the time too. We always appreciate when you upload legend 👍

@@Jonahroundsfish No not Coffs creek, didn't fish in there last season,

@@Austin.harper hi Austin, thanks for your support, have probably met Finn at some stage out fishing. Vids out on Saturday not tomorrow, still editing it tonight

@@LoveYakken Ye sorry. Thought today was Friday. Do you mind me asking what you caught it on

@@Austin.harper Caught on one of Down South Tackles 2.5" paddle tails minnows.

@@LoveYakken That’s right. So excited for the vid on Saturday. Have you been tailor fishing at the rocks recently for tailor. Would love to see another one of those vids again. Maybe at Mo**ee

@@Austin.harper Might have a tailor spin soon, see what the weather and swell does next time I'm heading out

@@beyondbushfishing cheers, sometimes I get lucky🤞🤞

Yeah they fight hard alright, strange you don't catch them there anymore, still heaps around here in the beach gutters.

Hey mate, the rods a Penn Allegiance 3, 12 foot, 8-12kg medium heavy spin. I was worried it might be a bit too stiff to flick metal slugs but can throw a 40g slug no probs. Great strongly built rod, last a lifetime, like most penn gear

Can't help you with the rock black fish but been getting a lot of jewies off the beach just before the weather went ugly. no monster jew but plenty round the 60 to 70cms mark. Any deep gutter along the beaches are worth a try, some nights there's none then the next night you get a few, but that jew fishing. Good luck.

@@LoveYakken thanks bro !!! Looks like you get some nice green backs out that way aswell !

@@LoveYakken hope the weather clears up this week !

Can usually find a few tailor round the headlands, the odd bigger greenback if you're lucky.

@@uhhbam on the Urunga river. If you stand on the car bridge across from the train bridge, you can sometimes see lots of Jewies smashing all the hering and mullet. Around 9:00 till 11:00 at night is the perfect time to go. Or if you have a tinny go the that bridge near all the pilons

100% agreed, its had a tough life, always getting wet on the kayak and surf etc. but it just keeps charging on. Drag is surprisingly good for a cheap reel, it has stood up better than expensive reels I have owned.

Hi Austin, you will be able to pump yabbies at moonee, heaps of them on the sand flats there, low tide straight in front of the park across from tennis courts. I was fishing up at mullaway/mullawarra area but heaps of whiting off moonee, probably better than where I was.

@@LoveYakkenThank you sooooo much. I will try when I get back from holiday in Byron. All this rain is hard to fish in, but for a video idea. The Jewfish are really good when it’s raining under some big pylons off a bridge

Yeah we are a bit spoilt with awesome beaches around here, shame the wind and rain atm won't let us get out and enjoy them.

@@LoveYakken true that mate

Na, couldn't be, no fish in Woopi creek.😉 Thanks for watching Steve.

Hey mate, chasing tuna off the rocks is something I haven't really done, but I know they target them from the end of mutton bird island. It's not exactly a safe spot though. I have caught a few off north wall when spinning for tailor but were only small fish. Cheers mate.

@@LoveYakken yeah good stuff he was talking about mutton bird I wasn't keen so North wall is a good compromise. Thanks heaps hopefully run into you out there at some stage out and say hi 👍

@@Razorfishing Good luck, hope you find a few.

Good fishing to you too👍

Sad to hear that, nothing worse than pollution in our waterways.

Thanks mate, yeah couldn't ask for a more peaceful day, perfect condition and a few fish, a perfect morning.

Plenty of little ones but the odd bigger girl in there, cheers mate

Lol, yeah I suppose I shouldn't complain.

Thanks for viewing mate

Cheers mate, yeah its a sketchy spot to fish, low tide and no swell is the only time I will fish it. Im keen for the longtail once they start showing up in numbers.

Thanks mate,

@@LoveYakkenit’s me again. Pretty sure I know where this is but definitely keep it a secret if your catching that big of a tailor. Do you think a spinner will still be good as the water is getting colder. Or change because the tailor like warmer water.

Spinners will work fine right through winter for tailor, it's what I mainly use, I don't use hard bodys much in the surf but might now after this session. Cheers.

I appreciate the effort you put into these videos. Well done. Good fish.

@@anthonykhalil70 Thanks Anthony, yes there is a bit that goes into it, but I enjoy the filming, editing and playing with the drone as much as the fishing. Cheers for your comment.

It was one of the first ever hard body lures I owned as a young fella, cheap simple and works on so many species.

The 2 colours I have the most luck on are motor oil and pearl. Good luck.

@@LoveYakken Thanks mate

G'day mate, In this vid fishing in tight structure I had 50 pound braid and 50 pound leader. Is over kill for these smaller jacks but needed if you hook a big red dog around the fallen trees to get them out of the structure. I still lose a few with 50 pound. If fishing more open waters I use 30 pound.

Ok cool thanks for replying

Rod is a Daiwa Gen Black Wild Weasel 2-6kg, reel is a Shimano Sedona 2500, 10-pound braid, 8-pound leader. Yeah I should have kept the whiting, they are tasty little suckers.

Love the TD black rods I've got the wicked weasel and a 1.5-4kg 6'4 pinster that for yak fishing good value if you can find them discounted.

Sorry for the wait, hopefully we will be getting lots of winter no wind day, blue sky's after this lot of rain. Thanks for hanging in there waiting for a new vid, come say G'day if you see me out fishing.

@@LoveYakken definitely. I will be kayaking in moonee creek at 10:00 if you want to meet. I would be amazing to see you in real life.

@@Austin.harper Cheers mate but I work Sundays till 3pm, and trust me Im not too amazing in real life 🤣 Good luck, hope the rain clears enough and you hook into a few.

Cheers mate, no big flathead caught but an enjoyable day on the water. Thanks for watching.

Has it ever, glad I managed to sneak a day in while the sun was out, looks wet again tomorrow as well🙄

Doing some editing now, this short is a cut from it.👍👍 Haven't done much fishing the last few weeks, weathers been wet or windy every day I have had off.😥

Same. I I’m Coffs too. Not much good fish around. But hopefully the snapper and tuna are ready to be caught.

@@Austin.harper Good luck. I should be uploading a new vid this weekend.

😂😂 lol, yeah seems to be common practise with bass, not sure of the reason??? I use to measure to tail tip and get told "take 2cms off mate, your cheating by not measuring to the fork", lol.🙄

@@LoveYakken it's because that how the flogs that fish in tournaments measure them. Ignore those wanks and just measure the whole fish mate, makes no bloody sense to do it otherwise haha

Thanks for the sub👍 Jack's can be a frustrating species to target but good fun when it all comes together. Just starting to watch some of your vids.

They are Aussie battlers, most places we bass fish have 100s of kms of fresh running inland, this system would only have 1kms or so of fresh and through drought low rain periods they wouldn't have much at all.
