They certainly seem to mate, i don't think it hurts them as much on the outside of the head. They also don't often jump as much so they have more energy as well.
Another great informative vid Deano - I agree that the colour doesn't matter at night, it's all about the action of the lure. Daytime is a very different story though...
i will have to do a daytime colour video then to prove your theory haha. i know one particular day at awoonga we caught them on atleast 6 completely different coloured jerkbaits haha
@@DeanSilvester done numerous experiments. Sometimes it matters (I remember one creek in the Kimberley the Barra went crazy on purple and rarely bit on any other colour). But 9/10 it makes no difference.
It seems that with those baits. It's one treble in the mouth and one on the side of the head. Color at night doesn't matter much. But I have been told black works. Because the fish look up and see the outline of the bait. I really think its the action that causes them to strike so hard. I heard spinning tackle is becoming the rage now. A 8 foot rod with a big spinning reel and braided like would be alot of fun Dean! Those fish are tanks. Great night VIDEO. Shawn.
i do use spin reels at times mate, but i find i like the line to have minimal slack in it when it hits the water as i typically fish near weed. A baitcaster is better at keeping it tight and straight meaning less likely to sink into the weed before you start the retreive. Drag capacity os also another factor as is the weight of the spin reel required vs the baitcaster
Hi Dean, typical high-quality footage, action, and information from you as usual thank you. What size trebles are you using on those MOLIX and are they VMC 6X, I noticed you have made another mod to your MOLIX also. See if anyone else notices. I went to download that APP you are using DEAN, however, there appear to be quite a few versions to choose from, i looked at BITE TIMES AUSTRALIA is that the one you use? Regards Dave
hey mate, no the app is called "fishing times" in app store. I have a couple of videos up on youtube mate giving you the whole run down on what mods i do to the molix including trimming, rings, hooks etc. I typically like to run the Owner STX but at the start of this trip i was trying the BKK Viper 41.
@@DeanSilvester Hi mate, Very cool regarding the new VIPERS, they certainly look tough. I have watched one of your Molix modification videos regarding double split rings etc, trimming body, I don't recall anything about removing the main top single hook It looked as though you have removed the big single hook at the top near the dorsal fin. Ok I will download that app. Thanks again Regards Dave
Thanks Dean..looks like afew cheek swipes / head buts. Do you think it's aggression levels from the fish when the cheek swipe compared to when they swallow it? Just interested what you think. Throw it in a video I watch all of em.
haha thanks mate, no i think eating it vs hitting it are too completely different things. I know i can trigger a fish to eat when they aren't ready and can also trigger a fish to react when i know they are there. When they eat it even on a reaction it is still a very subtle take compared to hitting it.
Hi mate what's the minimum size baitcaster I can get away with. Never court a Barra and you getting them in the same spot or you moving around looking for them
@@DeanSilvester cheers, and its pretty hard to find the molix shad in the colour you used, to you think mullet colour and the aussie white would do as good?
Aussie white works mate, I don’t have a mullet so I can’t answer that honestly sorry. I prefer the ones with a little flash in them but in saying that the carp colour has worked really well for me in callide in the past
no perch Dean, that must have been a long night for u😁. hard and soft body lure colors r an interesting subject with varying opinions covering all the variables that r salt/fresh water location weather moon phase and everything else that covers the fishing spectrum no matter the species. been there and had them and still have them with my 2 sons and brother especially on the winter cod, its a great topic. gud sesh u guys had👍. cheers.
Mainly swimbait rods mate, i like the extra length for casting and hookset, i was using the Dobyns fury this night. I also run the amped swimbaits as well.
@@stinkboodoo2116 there is only the barra one available now mate unless some stores have old stock. I still like to cut the top hook off so it doesn't matter to me which model i get.
@@DeanSilvester Yes! Tarpon is correct. Must be a thrill at night. Just don't know how big a fish you might get! Also, being barefoot around treble hooks. Kinda scary! Ouch! Shawn.
Up at 2;00 am watching Dean's fishing video's. I like the slow motion. You really get a sense of the action up close. The video's are getting better and better. If the lock down occur's again in the States. We are depending on your video's. To see is through till it's gone. It's the start of winter going tomorrow to see if I can keep my goal of catching bass every month this year. High 30's. Guess its time for a jerkbait. I have been checking out Spinning reel's. Have any suggestions in the Quantum line up Dean? Shawn.
@@shawnbeck2303 thanks legend, well hopefully for your sake the lock down doesn't occur again. Although majority of your country is locking down in ice and snow soon anyway haha. I was using the Smoke S3 spinning reel when in the USA mate a size 40.
@@shawnbeck2303 hahaha yes has its moments thats for sure, when you fish at night its like your other senses are hightened so the bite seems even more intense
Do you think they fight more aggressively/longer fight hooked on the side of the head vs swallowing it?

Nice one mate, yep guess it always depends on the mood of the animals we are targeting haha
Which color is you're favorite at night time
Anything with a touch of UV, either perch or Ghost but i have another colour coming soon called red claw
Be interesting to do this same test in the morning or afternoon. Great comparison though bud 😁😁😁👍🤙
Yes I am keen to do some more daytime testing 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Imagine that haha! i have used spin for them a bit and do love it. Just depends what mood i am in when i am getting set up i guess haha
Grouse vid Deano!!! Slightly off topic, but i was just curious as to why spin reels seem to be non existant in barra fishing?
i do use spin reels at times mate, but i find i like the line to have minimal slack in it when it hits the water as i typically fish near weed. A baitcaster is better at keeping it tight and straight meaning less likely to sink into the weed before you start the retreive.

@@DeanSilvester thanks for that dude. Champion!
No worries boss

really good .. thanks

Hi mate what's the minimum size baitcaster I can get away with. Never court a Barra and you getting them in the same spot or you moving around looking for them
mate i would get a 200 minimum, but just check the drag rating. thats the main thing you are looking for.
Nice work mate
thanks boss, what you think of the saltwater channel?

Yes it was, thanks legend. Yes i think all these topics will be deeply discussed even after i am long gone haha
@@DeanSilvester same topic on the winter cod Dean. even hard bodies on the barra while u r there. cheers.
@@stephenlatimer1428 for sure mate, will do

Hay mate what is that fishing app
its called fishing times mate
What’s the name/ brand of those lures ? Cheers
Molix
Molix Shad 140 mate
Thanks Will
Do you prefer the regular molix shad or do you get the Barra shad ?
@@stinkboodoo2116 there is only the barra one available now mate unless some stores have old stock. I still like to cut the top hook off so it doesn't matter to me which model i get.
Those fish look like stripers or white bass on steroids. That we catch here in Indiana. Shawn.
haha i would almost say a bit more like your tarpon
