@@crikeymacca cheers Macca. Yeah we’ve had that a couple of times came up pretty good 👍🏽

@@WillLoudon-c2f we’re normally fishing between 18 and 25 miles out from Burnett Heads.

@@halespinfex about 20 miles out from Burnett Heads on our last trip. Waiting for some better weather to get back out again.

@@smithys3512-lg5yx yeah I’d have to agree. I like the Talica 8 with the lighter Game Type J rod but when the taxman is around it’s a bit under gunned.

It's mainly just to protect the fibreglass boat, don't want them swinging and banging around. Makes it easier to handle too as we run a fairly long leader from the weight to the hooks.

@@crikeymacca hey Macca I’m using a Shimano Terez 7’ 30-65 pound rod with a Talica 10. Good compromise between power and sensitivity when the fish are mucking around with the bait before committing.

@@WhiplashFishing78 yep I thought so. I’ve got one of the older white ones. Love it. Great rod

@@brucelester5316 swinging sinkers and fibreglass boats don’t mix well.

The more the merrier, just need some more good weather 👍

Perhaps a "fish off" is required to see who gets that spot 😉

@@geoffsimons8993 I reckon I’m on the same page. Cheers to you and cheers for the red team 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

@@kathyjensen3336 we normally use Windfinder but it pays to look at a few different weather apps to get a general consensus. Cheers Kathy.

Would have been nice to see some bigger fish on the underwater footage but we'll find them eventually

We've been lucky recently and haven't found too many of them. Just a shame it can't be like that all year round 😆

Red was caught about 25 miles NE of Burnett Heads. We normally fish from 18 mile and push a bit wider depending on the weather.

On the twin hook rigs we run an 8/0 octopus/suicide as the front hook and a 6/0 live bait as the trail hook. Cheers.

Check out this video we did on the F360M th-cam.com/video/aceBeXGU2EU/w-d-xo.html The most people we fish with is 4, 1 on each back corner and 1 on each side about halfway along. Fire in any more questions you have after watching the video and the skipper will be more than happy to answer them.

Yeah would be great. I think the guys trolling out a bit wider see a few but wouldn’t be surprised if they frequent some of the wrecks that hold good bait schools at different times of the year.

Cheers Macca. The weather has put the brakes on us pretty hard this year but hopefully things improve coming in to winter 🤞🏽

Hi Lex was pretty windy in the morning so didn’t push out too far. Fished from 18-21 miles on that trip. Cheers.

It's been very helpful that the grey suits have left us alone for a bit recently 😂

This method may seem a little controversial to some 😬 but because we are filleting and skinning so many fish we wash the fillets off in a salt water brine to remove scales, blood and slime. After they are washed we place them on the rack for a few minutes to drip dry a bit and then they are placed into a container and put on ice until we are finished. Then the containers are taken inside and the fillets are given a quick pat down with paper towels before they are divided up into lots and cryovaced. Some fillets are kept fresh as they get eaten in the first few days.

There’s a fair bit of life there. Couldn’t say for sure we saw Japanese wire weed but on our last trip we had a fair bit of fine brown weed covering everything we dropped to the bottom. Saw it really bad about 4 years ago made fishing pretty difficult. When you heading up this way for a fish again?

@@WhiplashFishing78 the brown stuff is snot weed.

@@WhiplashFishing78 asap. The misso is hankering for some revenge on the sharks

Sometimes we manage to turn it on for the viewers 👍

We have to leave him at home sometimes we get sick of being outfished every time he comes out…

Luckily for us we didn't have to fish in that water. Think it went about 10 miles offshore but we fished much further than that.

It doesn't matter how fat they get it never seems to reduce their appetite for our fish nor does their size slow them down to give us a chance of getting our fish to the boat 🤣

For this trip the first place we fished was about 18 miles NE of Burnett Heads and the furthest spot was about 25 miles.

Fishing around 20-25 miles NE of Burnett Heads. Breaksea spit is a LONG run will probably have a look one day…

@@WhiplashFishing78 yea righto though u had to go fisher for that sort of depth out of there

Thanks Bruce. We launch from Burnett Heads all tide access with an 8 lane boat ramp. Cheers.

Thanks 👍

Thanks for that 👍 I'm thinking that tapping sound could be the Boga-Grips tapping on the side of the bait board. We have 2 of them, 1 on each side of the bait board. Otherwise it could be a rod in a rod holder moving from side to side. We'll check it out next time we're on the water and see if we can eliminate it.

Definitely one of Australia’s best 👍🏽

We used to incorporate a solid ring but now we’ve simplified it a bit. We tie the leader straight to the 8/0 with a uni knot or equivalent. The assist cord then ties to the eye of the first hook (next to the leader knot) then tied to the eye of the trail hook. Use enough assist cord so there is some slack when the bait is rigged- this allows it to swim freely and present as naturally as possible 👍🏽

@@WhiplashFishing78 amazing will try thanks for the response - you rock !!

Hi Karl thx for subscribing. We generally run an 8/0 octopus as the front hook and 6/0 short shank/livebait hook that gets pinned through the back close to the dorsal fin. We go in to a bit more detail in our ‘How to Livebait’ video - take a look if you’re interested. Cheers.

@@WhiplashFishing78 cheers that’s awesome - will go check that video out !! Appreciate it legend

Fish+chips+beer=👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Fair point Lindsay. Lorne gave us a lesson that day but dunno if he’ll share all his secrets haha. There’s a how to video on live bait fishing that covers most of relevant info for this type of fishing on our channel if you wanna have a look. Cheers and thx for watching 👍🏽

Yeah sorry Macca we set a high standard for ourselves that most people can probably only dream of 😂

@@WhiplashFishing78 😂😂

Thanks 👍

Dead bait, would have been either a piece of squid or a fish fillet
