@@LightTackleAnglerWA thank you, you inspired me to make fishing as my hobby. It’s relaxing and there’s alot to learn and the community is so nice and genuine. Hope your channel grows. I fish around the swan river so maybe one day we’d meet
Bro, if you wanna catch 40cm+ try the Lilac Hill bridge or Bandeup Womens Prison on glass shrimps you can catch amongst the weeds with a child's butterfly net!
some areas of the swan have more and some have less, its just experience i guess- there are some spots like certain areas in fremantle or mosman park where i wouldnt bother using plastics but can go 100m down the road and usually be fine- they tend to be concentrated in certain spots. also change to a hardbody if you need to.
Hi mate hope you’re well I’m new to Perth and started doing abit of fishing in spare time would you be able to give a few tips of spots to head to for a fun session just to catch some fish
look for man made structure literally anywhere in the river and it will hold fish :) East Perth is probably the most productive area of the swan for bream (and good for other fish like mulloway and flathead)
Hi mate, great video, I'm stoked to have come across your channel as I'm a local too. I am very new to fishing and was hoping to ask a question, I've purchase some heavier equipment compared to what you use (Daiwa 23 Aird LT 4000c reel & Daiwa 23 Revros 7ft 6-12kg rod). Will I need to purchase some lighter equipment in hopes to catch fish like yourself or will what I have be sufficient enough considering I use the correct braid, leader & lure? Thanks again.
hey mate, unfortunately that gear is too heavy to use the light lures required for bream fishing. you'd get a lot of benefit from getting a 1-3kg (or 2-4kg) rod and a 1000-2500 sized reel with 4-10lb braid and a 4-8lb leader. cheaper daiwa reels have a similar drag system to more expensive ones so i'd go with daiwa if looking for a more budget friendly reel in the $100 range. i used to use an atomic arrowz 1-3kg rod and rate them quite highly (around $150). you can probably get cheaper rods that work well but the marginal returns from spending more is pretty high until you reach that $100-200 mark.
Yeah byut you make it look easy....althoughthat's the magic of editing but still haha. How do you block out wind noise when filming? external mic? and do you have your cam head or chest mounted? i'm trying to do some vids too but havent mastered using go pro @@LightTackleAnglerWA
Hey mate, been meaning to reach out. Pretty new to Perth and like to get stuck in fishing the Swan. Dont know where its safe and where you can go? Also no clue what tackle to buy? Like to get my son into it too... your help would be so appreciated mate. Cheers
Rod. 1-3 kg. 2-4 kg. Round 7 foot long Reel 2500 size should be a good all rounder Spots. Find wharfs jetties. Sand bars where there are drop offs to deep water
Hey bro Im a Perth local and I'm a wedding film maker however I also love fishing and film making in gereral. I would love to collaborate on a video in the future, something between a cinematic documentary and your style, where I film you fishing like you normally do but make it more dynamic with different angles and b-roll. Have a think about it, I would love to do something with you.
Hey I live in Perth aswell and I love fishing in the swan river would love if you could reply to this comment with some tips on the kid of lures to use in the swan river, I love your content and have watched all your videos I enjoy how you don’t just yap the whole episode
thanks a lot mate. the majority of the time i use 2.5-3 inch soft plastics for almost all bread and butter fish, with a jighead as light as i can go for the depth. on the right gear a 1/20th to 1/16th jighead is good for most siutations, but on the flats or around deep structure with a lot of current 1/12th or 1/8th is usually good. In these situations a vibe like an ecogear vx35 can be a good choice as it casts well and they generally sink fast. In pressured areas, especially when bream fishing, I sometimes go as light as 1/28th or 1/40th, especially with certain lures like a pro lure clone prawn, which aren't as buoyant. fish like flathead aren't fussy- this is just my opinion but I wouldn't bother overthinking lure selection for flathead, they'd eat a piece of wood if you gave it the right action. hope this helps.
Hahaha my tiny cameo at the end we take that any day of the week love the vids mate
haha mate felt a bit rude making you so quiet in the edit but was nice to meet you
Haven't seen you post in a while. Glad to see you back 👍
thanks mate! had some health problems but good to be fishing
Ahaha the lads are definitely hiding from the “bream”
i believe that's what the tattoos are for yes
So good to have you back
thanks bud
Yess u finally posted I've been waitinnng andd nicee certate
thank you legend!
Nice one mate, good to see you back.
thanks Andy!
Great to see you back mate. Weird seeing bream hit in the open like that! I go after crabs not too far from there 👍
thanks man! yeah I often see them when fishing around that area :).
Love your stuff mate can’t wait to se the next vid bro
thanks man!
Good to see you back 🤝
thanks mate!
Need more vids mate love watching tour stuff, your a inspiration to my fishing 🎣
Awesome! Please post more :)
Solid content! I’m a local too. Making me want to work harder with my son on landing things other than blowfish
thanks mate. the swan river can be productive but takes a while to learn i guess.
You'll be catching good fish in no time :)
@@LightTackleAnglerWAI started fishing a week ago but still haven’t caught any fish not even blowfish but I’m learning more and more daily
@@abdullahalharthi2429 takes a while but the fish will come don't worry my friend

Awesome video bro! Maybe you could try catching Tailor on topwater lures.
thanks bud, may do that some time!
Bro, if you wanna catch 40cm+ try the Lilac Hill bridge or Bandeup Womens Prison on glass shrimps you can catch amongst the weeds with a child's butterfly net!
You mean the one close to Guildford? I've fished there before. Was probably using the wrong lure though
thanks mate, rarely venture up that way but will give it a look when i get time
Great to see your videos again mate
YESSIR HES BACK
I do be back
Mate! Just found your channel. Enjoyed the video! Hurry up and get back making content 👌
yes u r back
:)
Since the squidgies flickbaits got discontinued, the spratz are my favorite flickbait.
yeah they're possibly my favourite plastic at the moment!
@@LightTackleAnglerWA yeah they get it done
Hi there! what's your biggest tip for not getting your plastics smashed by the blowies?
some areas of the swan have more and some have less, its just experience i guess- there are some spots like certain areas in fremantle or mosman park where i wouldnt bother using plastics but can go 100m down the road and usually be fine- they tend to be concentrated in certain spots. also change to a hardbody if you need to.

Great fish mind sharing the location of the first spot? and what set up do you use?
mid river yacht club on the northern side (They all hold fish). My set up is all in the description :)
@@LightTackleAnglerWA what’s the yacht club called? What’s the name of it?
Nice catches mate! Got heaps! In Melbourne they’re so hard to catch! Did you use any attractants or scents?
hey mate, i dont think i was- we get a lot of blowfish / toadfish here in the lower reaches so they'll destroy any plastics with scent on
@ yeah true I’ve tried scent and stupid toads follow it! Biting tails off plastics.
Good to see the river isn't fished out, what time of day and tide was this?
You should do a break down on your gear and how to catch certain fish( like bream I’ve can’t catch one for the life of me)
sure!
this is clear water. right down midland to guildford seems muddy
where is the first yacht club like what is it called

@@LightTackleAnglerWA thanks, super appreciate the response. You're a legend!
Matilda Bay!! I can never catch anything off a lure there....although I do use blades and jigs so could be why.
definitely a tricky area yeah. there's definitely better fishing elsewhere but i just like the area
Yeah byut you make it look easy....althoughthat's the magic of editing but still haha. How do you block out wind noise when filming? external mic? and do you have your cam head or chest mounted? i'm trying to do some vids too but havent mastered using go pro
@@LightTackleAnglerWA
i have a media mod for my go pro but i lost the windbreaker thingo for it which is why this video has more wind noise than usual. i use a chest mount
Oh I see, I have an Akaso but still refer to it as a "Go Pro" @@LightTackleAnglerWA

Hey mate what fishing rod set up do you use? Love the content!
awesome vid's dude, would love to join you for a little fishing sesh one day!
Ive been watching a few of your vids and i need some advice on optus stadium bridge fishing and hopefully could use some advice
Those sprats 75 are the best!
really liking them so far!
@@LightTackleAnglerWAWhich colour do you recommend?

hi mate what do you think is the best jighead size for bream in the river
I don't know about you. But I find it irritating when people come near me when I'm fishing.
Anyway seems like a nice day out for you.
fair enough, depends on my mood I suppose :)
What size jig head works best for Swann river
nice
we have fished there before
cool man, it can be an alright spot but there are usually better spots towards East perth
@@LightTackleAnglerWA no way you replied!
Yes we have some wicked spots east freo for flattys 🤙🏻
