Awesome video!
how do u make the berley? i always found i can only get those fish during night, when the first light comes out, they are gone!

[@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches]

You can use a tin of cat food (fish flavoured) or bread or buy a commercially made bag of tuna or fish berley....

I just use sabiki rig with small cubes of salted bait, can buy them $1 each of AliExpress

[@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches]

They work fine, sometimes piper are harder to catch on them because the baitfly wings get in the way of their small mouths. In a mackerel school sabikis are quite deadly but if fishing over reef you can lose whole strings of sabikis quite easily.

What size and brand of hook do you use?

[@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches]

Cast net?

[@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches]

Good for collecting bait, not so good for catching live fish as the net often damages their gills. In rocky places sometimes you end up with the net snagged on the rocks. Bit heavy to carry into remote locations...but it has a place in the fisher's tackle box....
