Top video 👏👏 Learnt alot

[@raeezpather7058]

I put insulation tape on the line that goes onto the sinker. It helps prevent the sinker breaking off and doesn't damage so easily

[@TheKingfisherFishing]

Awesome tip, thanks for sharing. Will give it a try.

[@Raven-sn7ev]

Hey maybe a suggestion: what would be epic is if you could make a bundle pack/starter kit with all the equipment you will need to make the trace, would be nice to have that on the website. love the videos :)

[@TheKingfisherFishing]

Love your idea! Think we might have to consider doing that :)

[@cornevanzyl6370]

I was ur shop and I love it

[@thagaseelannaidoo1758]

Hi there love the content may i ask if you can name a few productive spots for brusher on the south coast , haven't had success at all in the areas ive been fishing , thanks , your reply will mean alot .

[@TheKingfisherFishing]

South Coast is a good place to start, give us a call and we will tell you exactly where to go :) [phone] Now is the time to target them.

[@thagaseelannaidoo1758]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@bootsandall3612]

Reason for the float is to keep your bait just above the small crevices, otherwise the brusher can't get to it. I doubt the setup you built will float that high up. It will do the job though. I would like to see you test these floats in a rock pool. It will make the presentation more credible.

[@TheKingfisherFishing]

Thank you for your comment. Yes the float is to keep the bait just off the rocks so it has more movement in the water. It is not designed to float to the top but rather to keep it off the bottom. I like the idea of testing the baits in rock pools, will make for some cool footage :) Tight lines

Nah, music drove me away...........

[@TheKingfisherFishing]

Thanks for your feedback John, would you mind sharing a link to the music you like so I can improve our videos going forward? Thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@online_income_made_easy3083]

Jirrrrre, that background music is such a distraction. It makes it incredibly difficult to actually listen and focus on what you are saying. If you are adamant to have music playing, at least lower the volume, Best yet, just make videos without the music. I forced myself to watch the entire video, but I need to go see a shrink now...

[@TheKingfisherFishing]

Apologies, we have since lowered the volume of the backing tracks.

[@johnbarnes4540]

By the way, siffies and perlrmoen are illegal to harvest. Jail time bro. Get your act together

[@TheKingfisherFishing]

Hi John, at 06’58” Ray explains the importance of a robust hook as the Brusher feed on Abalone with their strong jaws and teeth. At 14’10” Ray explains the critical importance of the correct valid license for harvesting bait from the rocks. The same applies for abalone, mussels and so on. No license means you cannot legally harvest that specific bait. Ray does not condone illegal harvesting in this video.

[@johnbarnes4540]

Please listen again. He clearly states "there is such a variety of bates you can use and he states amongst others siffies, perlemoen, Venus ears etc. Nowhere does he state that you cannot harvest them nor use them. His words clearly imply that if yoy have a permit you can harvest them which is clearly false.

[@TheKingfisherFishing]

@@johnbarnes4540 can you show me at white time in the video he states that? It’s a long video I perhaps missed it? Thanks a mil

[@johnbarnes4540]

@@TheKingfisherFishing It comes just after the 14'10" you referred to, at about 14'18" or so

[@Blue72Fu]

Started watching and as that irritating music in the background played I stopped watching , is this a bait and trace clinic or a Rumba bar ! Come on chaps get it together ! 👍🏻
