- Ahoy Fisho's, With Snapper season back open here in QLD, I decided to grab my soft plastic outfits and see if I couldn't find myself a big knobby or two to celebrate! The weather certainly wasn't red hot... but the fishing sure was!
Hope you enjoy the episode!!

Hey bro what set up are you using in the start of this video
Well that was a session I shouldn't have missed!
They must have been stacked up out there after the closure.
Nice to come along with you from the comfort of my lounge chair, just that little bit more comfortable than a 1:30 a.m. start 😉
Oh yeah, happy Father's day and thanks for the Grandies.
Hey Sammy, pumped this father's day. The family grabbed a hoodie from your store. Great quality and a lot better than the usual socks 🤣
Ohh that’s awesome mate! Enjoy!! 🍻🍻🍻
happy fathers day young fulla, great snapper sesh, thanks for the tuition on plastics, sure heaps of fisherman learn off your vids, cheers
Thanks for watching ! 🍻🍻
Great day out Sam! Those lines are singing!!
snapper here! and snapper there! what a bountiful ocean you got there sir! full support and watching your videos from philippines!
Loves the videos Sammy. Snapper was one of my favorite fish to catch while I was in Japan. One of the harder ones for me to catch, but they fight so well and are one of the best to eat in my opinion. Love the channel and I always look forward to your upload each week. Keep up the amazing job.
Loove those snappers, their colors and shapes. Fights don't look bad either!
Awesome session on the snapz mate 🤙🏼🤙🏼🎣
What a session. I'm heading out tomorrow I hope I have half as good a session. 🤙🤙
Always pumped for the videos
🙌🙌🙌
Cracking snapper session mate! Cheers
Thanks mate! 🍻🍻
Hay Sammy another cracking episode, snaps are one of my favourite fish to chase in moreton bay. I have been trying to nail them on the troll but yet to get one, patience is a virtue they say lol.
I don't expect or want you to devolve your trade secrets, however maybe you could tell us less experienced anglers a bit more info.... such as what general area your fishing and the depth, for example out from the GC or the northern bay in 20 metres approx.
great mate, amazing spot
Amazing video! I'm jealous 😊😊
That bite at 10 minute I could feel
That through the phone 😂🔥
awesome as usually Sammy
Gotta love snapper season!
You and me both!
Wow 🤩 menakjubkan 👏
Nice Catch mate
Kwickest hands ever with that bail arm dilemma Sammi ya should take up boxing😄😄😄assuming vid again
Always look forward to your videos, thanks Sammy
Thanks for watching mate! 🍻🍻🍻
rubber jigheads are great for boat to shore too..
For people who haven’t really fished much but listen to the high pitch noise in the background which is the wind on the line so that should give yous some idea how much wind Sammy is dealing sith
It must be Sunday already! Great video as ever 👍🏻
You know it 💪💪
The cloud cover can sometimes extend the bite because it prolongs the early light conditions. 🐟🐟
Bro what climate brings on snapper season
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe I think he's fishing in a part of Australia where snapper is not aloud to be caught certain times of the year
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe Do you struggle with basic English comprehension? Dyslexia is nothing to be ashamed of 🤓
@@bigbopper143 my father is not English
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe I never doubted that for a second 😄😄😄😄
Always present from Maluku Indonesia 🇮🇩🤝🏼👍🏿🙏❤️💞
amazing my friend
big fish strike
it's a solid bait
Awesome video mate... hey what motor oil plastics you using there...
Top shelf as always Sammy. Might have to give this plastics caper a whirl as I pretty much fish bait or liveys! Do you reckon rods like ugly stik golds would have a good enough action or do I need a new plastic outfit?
Appreciate it mate! Personally I prefer a faster actioned rod than the glass ugly sticks. You’ll find the graphite lureing style rods are a lighter in the hand, can cast further and are more sensitive for bite detection. Check out the wilson blade and tails range 👌
That was a pretty good number of snaps for a session. You have to admit. It would be great if you could do a bit more on the softie technique?
I have a question ( no sea legs )
Why do the deep fish eyes blow out . Is it from pulling them up so fast or that’s how those fish look
Hi Sammy, Another Nice Video :) Btw, i have Question., how many Grams Jighead you Use and how deep there? Hope you Answer Thank you :)
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it.
I was using a 1/2 Oz jighead in 20m of water 👍👍
Sammy awesome action as usual. What winds do you look for when heading offshore typically?
Mantap om,,
Josss,,🤙🤙🤙
Yew go Sammy
My best snapper session by far was when there were heaps of wales around
Nice mate! Might be a sign of a good session then 👌👌
Sammy what are your thoughts on braided line? I don’t live by the ocean or even close for that matter. I fish for mountain trout, walleye, bass, and northerns. Caught a paddle fish a few years ago as well. Have you ever heard of the ocean fish Saith? Caught a few while I was in Norway!
I love braid line mate 👌👌
I haven’t heard of one of those before, sound cool though!
What do you look for when sounding of for spots for snapper ?
Love it. Still think you should do a kids rod special. Show your skills off on affordable rods
Hahah I might not be a very good fisherman then? What if it’s just the gear making me look good?!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing this is true. I do fucking love your gear though. Maybe a touch out of reach some of it though
Fishing soft plastics like that might work well there. But in harder hit areas with less fish around like at Yeppoon, it’s a good way to waste a lot of fuel, get sunburned, catch Sweet FA, get told off by the Misso for going fishing all day again and not bringing anything home for dinner, and finally getting payed out by all your mates who bagged out using bait while you fucked around with lures that don’t work here. No lures work here.
I got six Barra recently near there on lures we also hit the trout just off Ingham which isn’t far.
@@matthewharris-davies8368 Ingham is 850km further North
@@anthonyleavey7514 that’s only eight hours to catch fish not much of a mission
@@matthewharris-davies8368 it is to do it every weekend
What pound braid and leader you using mate ?
Sammy come to Lake somerset and let's chase some big bass
Hi Sammy are you still happy with the Yamaha
I see you catch a lot of snapper on plastic drifting. Not much berley and anchor for you. Any reason for this ? Looks like you get more than most ?
Couple of crackers in there mate, good sesh.
You using a slammer mate. Seen the light. 😃
That’s a 4000 Stella mate 👍
How heavy jigheads are u using there
1/2oz mate 👍
Looking forward to a Qld fishing trip. How deep were you drifting there Sammy? Looked around 20-25m??
Yeah mate 20m predominately mate 👌
Just wondering what area you at here and do you often go to Morton Bay Area
What kind of lures is this and how deep you are fishing? Thanks
20m and using McCarthy’s soft plastics 👍
Nice job champ.
Don’t mind a longer rod myself
🤣🤣🤣😉
Sammy, I know it's a big ask, but any chance of you getting out there about about 3 days a week mate? This week long wait for your vids, is killing me 🙏🙏😉
Hahaha I would love to mate but unfortunately the weather just isn’t letting that happen these days. Been horrible all year!
Mate u make it look too easy well done good sesh
Hi Legend,
Has the red coat been retired???
Chris from UK
It has mate! I wore it too death!
You and Shauno should take some of the guys from 4wd action would love to hear ruebens laugh or jocko just being annoying like normal
I like the video
🍻🍻
Any favorite Snapper spots around the gold coast you’d recommend?
All of the inshore reefs out the front there hold some really good snapper! Just look for the bait 👌
Winning 👍
Mantap jhosss
Just a few snapper about ae mate
have you got berly down sammy
Hey sammy I passed my boat and jetski licence
Nice one mate 🍻🍻
The gear you used there seem to be somewhat underpowered for muscling better fish up and away from the reef.
It can be great fun, but it can also very easily result in loosing the really good ones, because you can't stop them.
Been there and done that.
I love fishing with light gear, but I prefer to use it where I don't need to be worried about the bottom or/and there are not much of a chance for bigger fish.
For fishing like this, I totally prefer something where I really can force them up from the bottom without giving them one single cm to dive into trouble for me.
Lovely fishing mate, are you very far out? I know you want to keep the location on the quiet but would you go out there in anything as small as a 4 metre boat.
I probably wouldn’t take a 4m boat out the front there mate. Obviously you can take any boat out on a glass out, but if the weather changes while your out there it could be quite dangerous. With a boat that size you’d be better off fishing in the southern bay around the artificials and rubble patches 👌👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing cheers bud will take your advice
Hey buddy,
I don't even go fishing when I have enough at home.
Can you please join your local ANSA club and start tagging the fish you release.
Then you can do videos about this program that relies on guy's like your self to work, and promote it on your platform.
Cheers
The heartbreak of being smoked
Hahah yep. It hurts
First comment
Grouse!
Cheers mate 👌👌
Wish I had a boat
Usually they’re just lawn ornaments
Haha yeah a lot of maintenance involved!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing You should target some sharks for a video. Catch n release. That’d be sweet. Love ya work mate
Retracted comet as I was Wrong BIG TIME
I absolutely DID NOT. That plastic is still attached to the jig head which is attached to the line. I am very conscious to take all my rubbish with me as well as picking up any I see floating past.
Looks like it was still tied on 😁
If you’d like proof please message me via Facebook or Instagram and I will gladly send you a photo of all the used plastics from that trip. I still have them in my shed bin.
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Sammy PLEASE accept my sincere apologies.
Spec saver moment.
I love your work and couldn't believe what I SORE!
Very Very Sorry. I watched with GLASSES ON. Snaps where bigger and I sore line
Again MY BAD!
Dave
Proper donkeys well done 👍 on the plastics wow they never work for me 🥹
