Kayak fishing for perch (redfin)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
- There's something special about pulling a big perch, or as well call them, redfin up beside the kayak.
In many parts of the world these fish, Perca fluviatilis are called perch, often English Perch. Here in Australia we call them redfin, most likely due to their bright red fins.
In other parts if the world there is a very closely related species called the yellow perch.
No matter where you live and what you call them, fishing for perch is always so much fun.
Kayak fishing for perch is next level fun...I absolutely love it.
In this video I was fishing at Lake Sambell.
Your doing a great job Robbie. This is such a good wholesome channel. 🙂
Thanks you so much mate.
whooo more perch fishing nice work also i took my friend fishing for the first time out for redfin i only brought my baitcaster stupid me anyway i wasnt getting much because i couldnt cast a small enough lure and i remembered one vid of you fishing for redfin with a baicaster and u had a little minnow on so i tied on a hard body minnow and second cast caught a reddie thanks mate
That boy never stood a chance! Lol! You are too funny.
I used to catch plenty of reds in Werribee River way back in the late 70,s , I can remember they are terrific to eat !!!
That joke.... fer some strange reason reminds me of the time 2 bullys went to the drive in movies. They didnt like the movie so they slashed the seats and left.
Thanks robbie!!
That's so bad haha 😂
Two beautiful Redfin good job Robbie...... love your videos buddy
lol wen something doesnt go to plan, change the plan haha gr8 catches on the perch
Haha thank you so much mate.
Robbie your a legend mate!
Thank you so much mate.
Ha ha Robbie! What do you call a kid who stands up to bullies? An ambulance ....
Hahahahahaha
Hey Robbie nice sized Redfin, fun on light line and a nice feed.
Nice fish thumbs up 👍👍👍👍 sounded like a Melbourne cup winning jockey at the end 😂
Hahahahaha thanks Cam. My closing seen was too long and I needed to shorten it but had nothing to cut out, so o just sped it up. 😂😂😂
I'll admit it, that dad joke got me haha
Lovely place!
Nice feed. The hunter and gatherer in me always gets satisfaction from seeing some fish for the table (within reason). Nice work brother. cheers.
Thanks so much VB. I agree mate. I love to keep a feed working reason. Yellowbelly from a stocked lake are my favourite as long as they're not too big.
love your vids mate. id love to see a redfin catch and cook video from you. like you bring a small little bbq with you and cook it on the bank shortly after you catch it or something
Thanks buddy, hopefully I can so that soon. 👍👍👍
Hey Robbie me again ahah, awesome vid buddy keep up the awesome work, you just need to up the Murray cod game ahah you can’t let everyone keep beating you big fella, your a funny lad, also great Redfin, love your work champ
Hahaha Thanks heaps mate. Hopefully my cod luck turns around soon.
Good to see you again, Connor. Nobody beats Robbie at the Turtle Game though. He is on point with that.
Andrew Fishman, hahah yeah fair point buddy
THOSE were some nice reddies!
That's a beautiful place, love those colors in that fish. Thanks for sharing
What a video Robbie Redfin loves the strike tiger nymphs I’m been getting on to couple nice ones on the strike tiger micro minnows in copper berry you should give them a shot next Redfin video
Love the redfin videos robbie
Thanks so much Fiona.
Such a good channel by far my favourite fishing channel keep up the good work Robbie 👍👍
Love the kayak vids Robbie
Thank you so much mate.
Yay Robbie on 37k subs get him to 100k
Nice work Robbie. Not much better than floating around on a glassed off lake in summer at sunset. Geez that brings back some fond memories
👍👍
Thanks so much mate. It sure is bloody wonderful mate, especially when you throw in a swim.
Nice Redfin 👍👍
Thanks mate.
Just got a kayak as a birthday present from the family. Looking forward to getting it in the water this weekend fishing, awesome video to Robbie.
Hi mate thank you so much. I hope you enjoy your new kayak buddy.
Nice spot.
Cracking video mate nice spot
Thanks so much mate.
Bravo.
Finally caught a fish Robbie😂😂
So awesome! Well done mate.
It’s a little hard though at the moment in lake Sambell because of the underwater reeds and plants
I love perch fishing, I just wish I could have your weather while at it :D
Some nice Reddies there Robie. I am yet to try some of those strike tiger nymphs, I have to say they look pretty deadly Cheers.
Thanks mate, they are absolutely deadly on trout and redfin. With cricket season about to start, the black coloured ones will come into their own.
Hey mate IDK if you're in AU but I live in Canberra AU and there is a place I've being going for a long time you should check it out it's the Queanbeyan river bye the way love the vids love to meat you
I remembered when you caught the other giant Redfin on a video a month or two ago
That was a monster hey mate!
Some lovely perch there Robbie, thankfully they right species this time 😂😂👌
Purdy fish!
Those were some nice Stripey Cod you caught :) Pretty with their redfins and all.
Haha Thanks heaps Andrew. If I'd gone cod fishing I definitely wouldn't have caught anything. LOL
Redfin caught and cook video?
Good video anyway!
Nice one
Thanks mate.
Old faithful Redfin
Good job mate
Thanks mate.
Love ur vids
Thanks so much mate.
you are the best robbie, are you doing the prostate cancer fishing comp?
Thanks mate. I haven't even heard of it sorry.
Good reddies mate.
Enjoyed the underwater footage also👌
Thanks so much mate. That scene was filmed at 120fps.
Should look into fin spin crappie jigs. They are my go to
Great video Robbie! If I had had of been there will you were beating up the kid it would have 4v1 😂
Hahahahahaha I've been waiting for someone to comment on my stupid joke. 😂😂😂
robbiefishing haha you should sign up for the comedy festival 😂
Couple of beauties mate, I bet they tasted awesome! I caught a good sized one today on worms, and a few other people are having success on redfin lately as well! I guess they are on the chew at the moment. Great idea putting the text on the screen showing your retrieve and action!
Thanks heaps mate. If the reddies are on the chew, well that suits me fine.
@@robbiefishing haha yep me too!
Love the joke Robbie 😂😂
Hahaha Thank you mate.
Hey Robbie I am a keen fishermen and love your channel just wondering if you could do a video on how to tie a paternoster rig.
Sam Baulch Just google it man, I’m sure there’s hundreds of videos on how to do it👍
Best way to get the monkey off your back you never miss a reddie there must the the easy fish to catch. The Basin is picking up some good reddies as well I picked up a nice eating reddie but being me I don't really like them now when I was a kid I loved them lol. Me and my partner between us we got at least 30 today was a good days fishing
Hey Chris WOW mate that is so cool, well done. I'm a huge fan of the basin.
@@robbiefishing must been on top 5 on your list mate. We went to sapplens point at the boat ramp you know the place really well so you would know where I'm talking
@@chriscoyne4827 Hey mate I'm pretty sure I know the spot. I habe tomorrow off but the wind forecast isn't great for a trio to Waranga Basin. LOL
@@robbiefishing just like today was shocking out there but didn't worry the fish. When your over this way again let me know I'll meet you out there for a flick of the lure
Gram for gram, Reddies put up a terrific fight IMO, plus they are a lovely eating fish as well. Another great Kayak vid Robbie.
p.s I love the Queensland safety shoe (thongs) holder at the very front of the Kayak. What a great idea.
Was it just me thinking, I hope he doesn't get the soles of his feet sunburnt, that's painful?
Hahaha Thanks mate. My Mexican flying boots have been chewed by my stupid dog but they're still holding together.
@@AndrewFishman Ooh yeah.
I was at lake sambell only a week ago & fished that very spot from the bank at sunset using strike tiger 1.5 gig in banana split grub tail with no luck! 😩 also tried lake Kerferd with no luck! & when I went to fletcher dam there was about 10 ppl camping there!!
Haha LOL mate, I honestly think it was a case of right place and right time. I love all 3 of those lakes.
Hey Robbie have you heard of a soft plastic called the trout magnet? Used a lot in the states and works very very well. Do you think they would work here in OZ ? I’m thinking about ordering some.
Nice video again robbie good feed. Have u thought of having ur deeper fish finder on the kayak with you . Also seen a product the other day basically a drone that goes underwater attached to a 100ft cable looked pretty cool to see under water to see structure fish ect... Went to bunnings the other day asked for a long wait... Im still waiting 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks mate. At the end of this video there is a link to one of my older videos where I was using my Deeper Pro+ for this exact trip of fishing. It is in one of my end screens.
I'm trying to find a spot to catch yabbies
Awesome. Good luck mate.
That photo at 2:30 is brilliant. What did you take it with? Thanks.
Nice redfin Robbie. Pity about that hippo swimming near the end. Did it bother you when you were swimming?
LOL Phillip, Ive just watched and I'm not sure what you're talking about. Hahaha There was a lady swimming laps of the lake as I was leaving, I thought maybe you might have seen her in tjebba aground but I can't see her. LOL
gday robbie just one quick question for you. What is your pb redfin?
When I went to Ballarat I got a Redfin and then I let it go and now I realised they are a pest😂
Hey mate, no they're not. They're onky a pest in the wrong places. In a place like Lake Wendouree they are a magnet for tourists and a massive positive benefit to the town. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. 👍👍
@@robbiefishing Yep, redfin are the main fodder fish for the Yebbly and Cod in Lake Burley Griffin. Small reddies and carp make up the vast bulk of their diet. That is the reason we get fast growth rates on the natives, and the fishery never overstocks on any one species despite being a relatively small closed system. Carp have reached a balance with natives in the local region and it is not unusual to get a cod with a fair sized carp in its gob. That is why I have no problem releasing reddies and carp. The flocks of cormorants and pelicans that feed on them are also to be considered, along with the fact that removing a couple of fish in a session is going to have no impact.
robbiefishing they are pest in tassie
@@ghouls9isxxc967 Trout are an exotic pest as well mate :)
Yeah Robbie but I forgot the name of the place where I got it that’s why I just said a random place
Catch and cook ep please! How do you prep them?
I know it's probly been answered so apologies in advance.
What body of water is that?
I still think it's odd that perch made it to Australia but pike never did.....
If I was to get small esky for my kayak what sought of esky would I get
1 banana 2banana 3banana 4
Well done mate
Haha thanks heaps mate.
Robbie I'm trying to grow on youtube and not having much luck, do you have any advice, I've been subbed since 2017 and I really love your vids by the way.great vid Robbie.
Keep uploading videos mate. That is the best way. Make relevant tags like "Barra" Fishkeeping" "Aquarium" etc to put in the tag box of your videos. Just keep at it mate. You will find other channels like yours and they will find yours. :)
Hey mate, what Andrew said. Also, always be yourself. Don't try and be someone you're not.
@@robbiefishing Too true.
Thanks both of you so much.
@@AndrewFishman on my youtube video I could only see half of the comments for some reason and when I went in the comments I couldn't see it at all. But thanks for the comment and I have heard bad reviews on the purple waffle plant.
Do u keep your scully plugs in your murray robbie ?? I have none in my mine. The thing is so boyount i dont need them . What are your thoughts ??
Hey buddy I don't ever habe any plugs. I can get them, but have never worried about it.
Being on the heavy side, I tend to get a wet arse when water comes up through the scuplers.
awesome brother!
Hey Les thanks heaps mate.
2:48 😂
You Ripper! LOL
Can you catch Redfin in the winter
Would you ever try any saltwater fishing on this channel rob?
Hopefully some day Jennifer. I live A long way away from saltwater though.
@@robbiefishing Any time you want a change of pace, let me know. My parents live at Ulladulla on the South Coast, and they have a couple of spare rooms... Of course, it is a bit flooded around there at the moment, at least the floods helped to quell the fires a bit lol.
robbiefishing well could you collaborate with other Australian fishing TH-cam channels? it would be Pretty epic
@@jennifertheyowiehunter8753 haha he does!
Jinda Tackle I mean with a saltwater fishing channel
What size jig head are you yousing
What should I get for my first bait caster combo
Hi Kyan. Best to ask the people at the tackle shop buddy.
THere are a lot of variables, such as what are you fishing for, what are you fishing with, where are you fishing (lake, stream, river, sea, clear, wooded, weedy) and what budget are you looking at? Work these out, and go to the tackle shop armed with this information as it greatly affect the rod you get, and your success and enjoyment from that kit. Just as a general guide, something in about the 3-5 kg rage, with a 2000 size reel and 4 kg line will get you among Perch, Yebblies and carp quite well, a 5-8 kilo medium action rod with a 3000 reel will suit most small - medium cod requirements and large medium, small large lures. A 10 kg rod and line will get you into the beginner levels of the big girls. The main thing is to match the rod with the line and reel, so the kit is well balanced. You will break line if you put light line on a heavy rod, and you will break rods if you put heavy line on a light rod. Get what suits the application. You cannot throw a 100 gram lure effectively on a 4 kg rod, likewise on a 10 kg rod you won't be throwing 1/8th ounce jigheads.
Just wondering what size jig head you are using mate ??
Hey mate I answer that question perfectly at the 32 second mark.
robbiefishing ah perfect don’t know how I missed it thanks love your work
I would like to see a video where you show how you dispatched those redfin.
Haha I have showed that in the past but TH-cam can punish creators firbgraphic content so I am a little bit cautious.
@@robbiefishing Can you do it with a dead fish , or say a plastic model ? - or still a bit cautious ?
Banana spilt 😂 First!
Hahaha you nailed it mate!
Are the red fin good eating mate
Absolutely beautiful mate.
Im going to have to get some of these strike tiger nymphs. The redfin where i fish migh be a bit too small for the luresbim using.
Scaling down can often lead to many more small redfin, and the bigger ones will still be caught regularly. Just have to decide whether you want to bother with the small fellas.
@@AndrewFishman honestly the size of the fish doesn't worry me. As long as im catching something im happy.
@@Gavs_rc_hobbies I feel the same way. I have a small 1.5 kg setup just for flicking small lures for small reddies :) Put out a carp bait on my 4 kilo rod and flick small lures on the other rod. Great fun, and you get enough bigger ones and yebblies as bycatch to keep it very entertaining.
Sounds awesome mate. My favourite setup for the really tiny redfin is a Strike Tiger nymph with the claws removed and sometimes I even break half a centimeter off the body to make it even smaller. 👍
@@robbiefishing i just had a look at the strike tiger website. The price of those soft plastics are hard to beat!
My Dad landed a 47cm Yellowbelly at the opposite end of the lake to the caravan park last Friday just as the storms hit. Not sure if that is a rare catch or not.
WOW that's so awesome. That's not rare mate, just hard to achieve. Well done to him.
Any 47 cm Yebbly is worth celebrating!
I’m a local in beechworth n haven’t caught anything apart from reeds in about a year
Haha It sure is a hard lake to fish mate.
Did you see any fish under the water
Hey Sam, no mate didntn
see any fish.
I think it's time you cooked up a feed right there on the kayak
Also it’s flooded in Coonabarabran and when I go up I am going yabbeing
Hey Sam that sounds awesome mate.
Still waiting for a rap verse
Hahahaha maybe one day. LOL
Hey Robbie have you heard of a soft plastic called the trout magnet? Used a lot in the states and works very very well. Do you think they would work here in OZ ? I’m thinking about ordering some.
