Treating a catch with respect as a priority are the words that I hold dear to me when fishing for a meal. This also extends to returning the ones we dont eat and I see this in your journey as a fisherman. Cheers to that Starlo.
Right on! Thanks for the feedback.
Love this content, Starlo. I reckon a lot of people like this style is because it's so relaxing and natural. The soundscapes are beautiful and your calming voice helps relieve some stress. Good on you mate. All the best.
🤦🏻♂️
Thanks so much for that. Yes, they seem to appeal to a lot of viewers!
I fished that spot a couple of weeks ago only managed little bream and snags.You gave me great tips for next time.
Thanks Starlo
Good stuff! Hope you get some big ones next time.
I catch nearly as many flathead using weighted minnows as with large soft plastics at Banjo Patterson Reserve (and others) in Abbotsford. But all round a soft plastic will get bream maybe whiting as well. Tailor and Salmon seem to hit both eagerly.
Having true enjoyment and going home with a feed does not have to be complicated or expensive. You nailed it with one key word. RESPECT. Respect your fish, your gear and yourself. Well done and nicely filmed. Best of all no stupid high 5's and loud music. What is wrong with the simple sound of water and wildlife. Colin
Well said! Thanks!
Just got back into fishing after a 25 year hiatus and remember watching you back in the day Starlo. Great to see you still at it.
Cheers! 👍
Great work Starlo 💯
Thanks 💯
As a dedicated flats wader and shore based lure flicker I use an easy open carabiner to secure a net capable of landing fish up to metre long, having long nose pliers on a lanyard helps as well. You don't want to swim a flathead 30+ metres off the flat to the shore if you are wading. Excellent footage and content. Cheerio
Great tip! So true.
As a brand newbie who doesn't have a boat or kayak (yet!) this is exactly what I need.
Good to hear!
One of the very few guys on the internet who makes content about the exact style of fishing that I enjoy so much.
Im fishing on the Atlantic coast of Portugal most of the time.
The Bream are pretty though to catch there but it's possible.
I've never met anyone who targets the with lures apart of myself there, the locals usually just shake their heads when they see me with my super light tackle)
Wow, thanks! That’s super cool!
Really good viewing Steve... Good eating too I bet.
Thanks mate.
Thanks, and yes, a good meal.
Great content Starlo, I do similar land based soft plastics fishing down the southern end of port Phillip, shallow water can produce big flathead! Infact the biggest fish we caught last summer was a flatty off the beach into Reefy, sandy ground! Loving your content!
Good stuff! Thank you... and thanks for watching, too!
Truly my favourite style of fishing as I’m from Narooma by the way and in my opinion the best for around our general area 👍
Good stuff.
💯I respect those who know how to use ikejime fishing man!👍
I appreciate that! Cheers.
Thanks Starlo, a lovely spot on a lovely day. I also like the eddie downstream from the boat ramp. There is often a weed bed about 20m towards the entrance to retrieve from with the eddie. Should be some good depth too after the La Nina of the last few years.
Thanks Grant. Good advice, too!
Many thanks.
No problem! 👍
Great video Steve, gotta love plastics fishing!!! Thanks for your content mate, please keep them coming!
I will!
Great work starlo as always another great video..!
Cheers!
Well shot Starlo! I love your filming positions/angles and more importantly, your commentary. It always feels like we're right there with ya! I look forward to the next one!
Glad you like them!
Great active way to catch a feed with no harm done!
Very true. Thanks!
What a great session 👏
Yes, it wasn't too bad!
keep up the great content Steve 🙂👍
I will! I'm just getting started. ;)
Love your work old mate. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
Thanks Starlo for your videos they are really helpful
Glad you like them! 👍
Thanks. That was a great vid. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Learned a lot thanks for that
I'm glad!
Fantastic Starlo, loved every minute of it ! Some classic tackle used as well, I still have some round head original jig heads and also some Bloodworm Wrigglers and Black and Gold fish. Great stuff mate ..
Good stuff! Thanks for the great feedback, too.
I used the wriggler in bloodworm and wasabi for a fair while, great lure. I must admit I prefer the Zman grubs these days but I will always have a place to the 80 and 100mm wrigglers.
Good stuff.
Awesome video, thanks Starlo👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful part of our amazing coastline you are lucky enough to be fishing at. Love ya work. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
No worries! Thanks!
Thanks Steve for the tips and explanation and the sounds of the ocean
My pleasure!
Great vid mate
Thanks 👍
Another great video Steve. I am constantly amazed how often you catch a quality bream on a large lure targeting flathead, has you scratching your head sometimes on the finesse thing. Glad you and Jo got a great feed, those flathead are very tasty. 💜🎣
Absolutely!
Love your work you did there. beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
A couple of nice fish there Steve
Cheers!
Awesome
vid mate
Thanks, Ryan!
I always skinned and boned bream for the kids.
Quickly fried in butter, they are delicious.
Yes they are!
Great video champion,
Cheers!
Thanks!
Thank YOU!!!
I miss that waterway.always holds a surprise
So true.
Started my lure fishing seriously after seeing your early plastics stiff from like 15yrs ago. Now I have a side console with all the bells a whistles but love to return to this simple style every once in a while. Saves cleaning the boat and can be done on a moments notice. Great content 👌
Thanks, Nat!
Love your work mate missing seeing you on network TV
Cheers for that! To be honest, I'm enjoying TH-cam more than TV... nice being your own boss. ;)
@Starlo Gets Reel
you are doing a great job at it too
Love how you Always explain the method behind what you're doing I think you have always been the best at that and still the best
Beautiful fish mate. Really good tips too, my reel did that nonsense with the braid a few days ago in the wind, and I got a complete birdsnest of line. So glad I know how to stop that next time!
Thanks for that! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video mate! It felt like I was there in the background watching. Cheers :)
Thanks! That's the feel I was going for. 👍 Glad to hear it hit the mark.
@@StarloGetsReel Holy shit, Starlo and Mark from SSM should do a collab video! He has a fishing channel as well Starlo 👍 Get Robbie A to tag along and you've got the dream team!
Hi Steve. There's nothing more relaxing and enjoyable than watching your excellent videos. I have a question about polaroid sunnies if I may.
In your opinion are all polaroid sunnies the same. I just buy the old Cancer Council ones but is their a real advantage in getting " better" brands. Cheers mate.
Feel free anyone else reading to chip in with an opinion. Thanks guys.
Thanks for that! Having worn a range of polarising sunnies over half a century before settling on Mako a few years ago I can say that there definitely IS a difference between the cheapies and premium eyewear. I guess it’s an incremental thing, not unlike the difference between, say, a $100 spin reel and a $400 model. Is the latter four times better than the former? No. But is the 10 to 15% advantage in performance offered by the higher-priced model worth the extra spend? I guess that’s going to come down to how much you fish and how serious you are about it. But the bottom line is that I’d feel disadvantaged going back to cheaper eyewear after using the good stuff. Hope that makes sense?
Thanks so much for the detailed response Steve. I really do appreciate your advice.
Legend
Thanks!
Enjoying the land based stuff. Any chance of a video for deeper in the river around snags, mud and stuff? Cheers
For sure. In the pipeline... Thanks for the feedback!
Are the round ball jigheads or sale again 😯Please let me know where i can purchase been wanting them for so many years now...maybe even decades now, showing my age. Great Episode Steve.
Unfortunately not... I still have a small (and diminishing) cache stashed away!
Thanks Starlo, another cracking vid, what reel, rod and line size were you using, hope you had a great Easter. cheers..
Thanks! Shimano Anarchy Long Cast/Flats 7'8" rod. Six pound Kairiki braid and 10 and 16 pound Ocea FC leader.
Nice.
Thanks!
Great vid, what brand of wet suit shoes are they?
Thanks! I think they're Adrenaline brand... I've had them a while.
Great vid mate would you use that strength leader in the lake as well or just in Rocky location.
Thanks. I sometimes use that strong (16 pound) around oyster leases and really gnarly snags, but more copmmonly 6 to 10 pound on bream.
Thank mate 👍
@starlogetsreel where is this place man I'm from lake Macquarie and would love to spend the day at this spot of yours if OK 😁
Hi Starlo, in case I missed it, when you re-tie your leader do you re-tie the whole thing or just shorten it past the damaged point?
Bit of both - keep trimming and re-tying until it gets too short, then replace.
‘Not broken’….just found some original ‘Squidgies wriggler’…. Fireworks ❤️
Nice!
There was a ‘Gary Glitter’ type too Steve. How times change!
That sunnie holder on the bag doesnt fit my spotters polarized glasses lol
What anarchy rod is that?
I have the 7 foot 4-8kg 2piece (cos its blue) paired with a legalis 2500 (cos its blue).
What size jig head did you upgrade to, in ounce weight pls n ty.
I usually use 1/6 n 1/8 size. With 12pound leader.
Do you suggest lighter leader for bream on lures?
(Ive never bn able to get a bream on a lure... only on bait lol)
That's the 7'8" Anarchy -- the long cast or flats model. Heavier jig head would be about 1/8 ounce. Finer leaders always seem to get more bites from bream, but it's a balancing act as you need to be able to land them, too!
Thanks for response.
So 1/12 -1/20 are good then in shallower water than 2 metres (flats round here are definitely wadeable lol).
I do wish the rods here in aus, had the power/action on the rods in actual words.
Heavy/fast or medium/fast for eg...
Enjoyed that one Starlo I have never seen that twang method but will definitely try it. I caught a 40 to 50 kilo turtle off the beach up here last week a bloke walking his dog helped me lift it out so I could get the hook out of it and release it gee can they fight I use 2 Penn 10ft rods with a 14000xtc Shimano and 10000xtb Shimano plus a 4000 Shimano sienna on a 8ft Shimano rod for whiting bream and flathead. Use 20lb mono on my two big reels.Only found out the other day flathead are a type of catfish 😊
Thanks! I bet that turtle gave you some! Not sure about flathead being related to catfish though... if so, only VERY distantly. ;)
Is this comment an actual joke? Because well done if it is! haha
@@bradcolley2391 haha no joke you can catch anything off the beach in Darwin 😊
@@bradcolley2391 I have photo and video footage if you’d like to see it
@@StarloGetsReel I don’t think a bloke believed that I could catch a turtle off the beach I said you can catch anythioff the beach in Darwin as you would know Starlo I said I have a photo and videos
Nice to see a person with the reel handle on the normal side for a change. It amazes me how many decent fishermen have the habit of having it on the right being right handed. All that regrabbing after a cast just laughable)
I hear you. 😉 But each to their own.
@@StarloGetsReel thank you for the videos. I have just moved to Hobart from Russia and am trying myself in salt water fishing. Your content is helpful! I'd like to join you if you come here. I can share my thoughts about the river trout fishing in Tassie with my two years of intense experience if you are interested. Thanks again Starlo!
I wonder if that twang works in the freshwater to
Sure does.
What Rod was the shimano anarchy and also is it a stiff rod ideal for plastics?
It's the 7'8" Long Cast/Flats model. Very good for land-based work and longer casting from the boat with both soft and hard lures.
@@StarloGetsReel do you know the casting weight?
How does the taste of bream with snapper mate?
Similar. Bream's a bit softer and more moist. I'm not a huge fan of them as a table fish, to be honest.
Im new to soft lures i have got some 5cm soft paddle tails but i just dont know what size jig heads to buy I'm asking because im not very good a talking to the guys at the tackle store yes i know its stupid
Not stupid at all! Lots of anglers suffer tackle shop anxiety. For 5cm plastics, hook sizes in the No. 4 to No. 1 range should suit. A No. 2 will probably be perfect. As for jig head weights, it really depends on the depth you're fishing and the current strength, but something around the 1/8th ounce (3.5 gram) mark would be a good starting point. You can go up or down from there as the conditions dictate... Tight Lines!
Your shoes you use for the rocks. Would love a name or link! Cheers
The brand is Adrenalin (wetsuit company, I think). I can't remember where I bought them as it was a few years back... a tackle store somewhere!
@@StarloGetsReel thanks mate, family has some good adrenaline gear already I'll have a look for that brands shoes.
Any tips on tenderising the squid?
I’ve never found them especially tough? But they reckon marinating in crushed up kiwi fruit does wonders??
hello, what gear you are using?
Shimano Vanford reel and Shimano Anarchy Long Cast Light Spin rod.

What a terrible looking backyard 🤣
Awful, isn't it? ;)
Yibida yibida! How’s Rex going these days?
Not real flash I don’t think. He’s had some health issues, unfortunately.
