Hi Scott, nice snapper , good call to come inshore, I got caught in big swells, surfing on the throttle full ahead/ full astern very scary ! Friendly tip it's not good have baits in the water with a dolphin near the boat, they will grab baits and nobody wants hurt a dolphin. They will damage crab nets too. Your video recordings are so good love your work. Cya
Cheers Mate Dolphins are way to smart to grab a bait attached to a line, ive never heard of it happening. I fish with dolphins around all the time and they almost seem to heard the fish over to us . alway catch when they are there, maybe irts just a bait thing fish are feeding on the bait same as the dolphins. cheers for watching
Hey Scotty, I know what you mean about the scary sweet and the GoPro showing nothing. But like you say, they look scary, but you know they're not going to hit you and that's why you're there in the first place. Funny that when it gets dark it's no longer scary since you just can't see the swells 😅
@@wazzastinnyfishing yeah I’ve gone out early morning before and not realised quite how big it is until the sun came up. Very dangerous when crossing over some spots
Great fish in perfect snapper conditions. Could hear the Adrenalin/fear in your voice so that swell must have been bad. Oh and pellets for the win…again!
I fish in some pretty average conditions but that day was out of my comfort level. Think it was a 4m swell had to zig zag through breakers to get out . Shouldn’t have done it. I let keen over ride common sense
Mad session in the swell, you know it’s big when you can see it through the GoPro! Got what you wanted and got out of there job done 🎣✅ cook up looked good to 🤤😃
chips in the oven Scotty??? get ur hands on a good air fryer buddy, awesome bit of kit, especially for chippies! Oh, and if u like ur chillies, could send some home grown Carolina reapers your way mate.
@@fartacus3011 ooof I like chilli’s but don’t like having my face burned off 🌶️🔥 Talked about getting an air fryer for a while I might have to follow through. Really chips should be deep fried I think.
Nah mate, ya learn how to use the correct volume, and they're delicous! Yeah air fryers just make it so quick and easy for fries, but also can be used to make the best roast pork you've ever had. Unbelievably good crackling mate!
Had to laugh when you picked up the second rod. 😂. But i get you on that swell, i have a small boat and have done the same many times over. Great video mate! I do have a question, with the easterlies your boat will point towards the coast and your burley runs to the front of the boat. I find that when this occurs i don't get snapper, was this the case for you on the day?
Depends but mostly this time of year the current runs to the south .you can see the lines heading that way. East is ok , a lot of south makes it awkward but you can still catch
Good episode, you do look very nervous in this one, but who said fishing wasn't risky. 11:07 that dolphin got close. Normally i pack up and leave when i see them but its working for you
Not really I only want one fish and everything dies if dragged up from that depth. I don’t fish to “bag out” and eat fresh rather than freeze Not worth the journey for one fish
Home made sweet chilli 🤤
Increased the size of your circle, didn't drop the fish 😉

That swell is no joke eh, and I agree with you - like you say, the camera's don't do the scale justice.
No it was scary that day.
I’ve actually been waiting for some hero to say it didn’t look that bad . But if you were there it was not nice
Cheers mate

Mate I was rattled out there, just very intimidating . Normally I’m pretty solid but that day was scary
Well done mate, appreciate your vids 👍
Cheers mate appreciate thatvyouvwatch
Love your vids mate, funny as hell watching u try to catch 2 fish at the same time😅
Yeah just picked up the second out of habit but realised my mistake 😂

Was out today and had the same skippy experience. One after another
I soak the pellets with salt water and fish oil. Then form into golf ball size balls. They sink down leaving a good cloud.
I’ll give it a go

Hey mate just wondering what pellets you use. Great vid mate🤙
Just chicken pellets from any stock feeder or pet shop . I put em in a big tub and pour fish oil over em
Had some ripper sessions in big swell in that area. But yeh it isn't comfortable that's for sure
Yeah it goes off in swell but this night it was a bit too much
Swell looked big. You did look nervous...
I was actually shitting myself .
I don’t get rattled often but that day I was scared
@@Saltfix watching swell lines jack up on the back of the reef is always spooky.
Nice shirt
Yeah I got some colourful ones 👍
Great vid as usual. When were you out, was this yesterday (Friday) ? Always great christening a new rod or reel eh ? 🤩
Hey Mate this was a few weeks back think it was a monday night.
i dont get rattled often but the swell that night had me going, scary stuff
Good episode, you do look very nervous in this one, but who said fishing wasn't risky.
11:07 that dolphin got close. Normally i pack up and leave when i see them but its working for you
Ive actually caught a heap of snapper with dolphins hanging around, I lok at them as a good omen now.
do you ever fish deep water like 100m
Not really
I only want one fish and everything dies if dragged up from that depth.
I don’t fish to “bag out” and eat fresh rather than freeze
Not worth the journey for one fish
🙋♂️
Thanks mate
