Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
Oh dang being unwell is not good! Glad you are all better now! Fishing rod looks so good actually! The rocks and water there look so cool too! Quite a wild coastline! Haha the sound of you walking with water in your shoes was funny! yes don't lose your pliers! Yeah a really cool job!
@@joshdfishing just finished the vid mate. Another belter! Did you notice a difference in the bite rate, with using 4lb? I have just made the switch from 6 to 4 but not managed to have a proper session with it yet.
Josh can you do a video on what types of line you use, hook sizes and application, and how you pick your lures in different water situations. These to me are very interesting as I have never caught anything on a lure and that could be for a number of reasons. Leaders are another topic I find have many opinions. I know many have covered these topics but many are American and fresh water fishing 🎣 Thanks very much
That Atomic Hardz 38mm Deep Crank is the very same Bait that won Steve Morgan the 2019 Australian Bream Open Classic. Absolute bream assassin, that Lure.
I was going to say it's been a minute but obviously your health is more important. Good to see you back out there with another great vid. Also your subs, like 1800 more people since last I looked. Clearly striking a chord with the viewers mate and the word getting around, great job. 🤙🤙
Great to see you back Josh, I hope that you"re on top of your medical stuff. I'm fairly jealous of the estuary systems in NSW. Keep up your great videos mate, I'll be watchin"
Yes let's go Josh glad to see you Make a video I was so happy to see your thumbnail knowing your gonna catch something can't wait to see you get on to some fish
What a session! Ik how it feels to just Catch absolutely nothing but atleast u got that in return and also I’d love to see a flatty catch and cook mate🤤🤤🤤
Great to see you back and feeling better, Josh. Your health is the main priority little buddy 👍🏼, great video and you’re back on the books. Cheers mate.
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well mate. Hope you’re feeling better soon. No need to apologise for taking care of yourself. Another great vid mate, well done.
G'day again Josh! Nice to see you back champ. Hope you're over whatever illness you had. Worth the wait......quality fishing, videography and commentary Josh! Take care and looking forward to your next outing!!
Top vid mate, good to see you back on the waters edge. Hope your doing well. That trip sure as hell ended a week of bad luck. Where are you located? Im pretty sure it’s farther down the south coast from where I am. I’m in the Illawarra
So glad you are feeling better Josh….I will admit that like many others, I was wondering where you had been. For those like me who find it very difficult to get out on the water due to physical issues, we certainly enjoy being taken on your outings. When I do have an opportunity to fish, I try to adopt many of the tactics and lures you have shared over time. One thing I was wondering Josh, do you upgrade the hooks on the hardbody lures or crush the barbs down to assist with release? Thanks again for sharing Josh and I look forward to your next video.
Thanks mark!! And I’m glad you have been able to take in some good fishing tips and tricks along the way. And for the hard body lures. I use the original hooks the lures come with when they get ruined or crushed by a fish. I’ll change to the same size treble. I’ll look for the same size in the tackle store and buy a pack👌🏼
Hey there Josh. Hoping that you are on the mend and the best medicine is the bump on the end of the rod and Then the thrill of reeling in the catch. Your principle of catch and release is great mate and the occasional catch and cook or taking Mum a feed of whiting is magic. Look after yourself young fella, your enthusiasm helps old blokes like me in our 70s remember the days when we were young with our Jarvis Walker rods and Alvey bakelite reels ... the rods were so rigid you'd probably not even feel the bite. Ah, the memories and Josh, don't worry about the donut days, the fish will always be waiting for you to get on the vid for you to share your passion with us. SWAFH signed with a firm handshake.
Aw thanks ian. Appreciate this message. I’d actually been very interested in using one of those old rods and reel in a video. I think that would make a quite entertaining video🤣👌🏼 cheers mate
G’day Josh Do you have an old 60s rod mate? I have a Jarvis Walker Portsea approx 6 foot long in 2 pieces that has never been used and I’m quite happy to pass it on to you for your use in making a vid using old tackle. I don’t want payment as your vids provide me with much entertainment and it is my way of saying thanks. I also have an old Bakelite reel which has seen a lot of use you are also welcome to. Hoping you are getting better young fella 🤞and you are catching a few flatties and bream 🐟etc Cheers Ian
im not going to force you to do anything you don’t want to, but do you think one day you could do a catch and cook vid? anyways loving the vids joshy 😊
Good to see you back youngen. I was wondering if you were sick or not. Glad you're back and doing well and getting into some fish. Work mustn't be treating you too bad if you're coppin all that new gear. 👍
Josh, glad to see you are back, up and about. Hope you are able to sort out your health issues for the long term and it allows you to keep doing what you are best at. Keep it coming mate.
Hope your on the mend Champion, though your vid’s are thoroughly entertaining don’t stress about uploads, anticipation makes them all the better! Fish for the love of fishing 🤙
Its good to see you back into it 👍 , i went fishing after work myself tonight but only bait fish around so only fished for an hour the sandflies started so i left have not been for a few weeks as the weather has been crap . Hope your new doctor gets you right .
I feel you, a lot! I spent 4 hours in the water yesterday, around and just under the Harbour Bridge. Not even a single byte. I'm tyred from work now, and I'm not sure what i should do. I'll have a sesh up to The Entrance this weekend, hopefully i can film something. Ps: I'm sorry for you being sick....
Hey Josh mate, I’m torn between a Millerods TwitchFreak or the GrubsFreak… going to be using hard bodies and soft plastics but can’t decide as both are “made” for one or the other :/ what would you recommend? TwitchFreak is 6’10 and Grubs is 7’3 Any help is appreciated mate! Great video as always!
I feel ya mate, so many good sessions last year with not many full donut sessions, and I swear I've had nothing but donuts for the few sessions this year. It's been a tough start. I wonder if it's because of the rain and it's pushing fish towards the mouth of the rivers/creeks, rather than the secret spots further up.
great vid mate. Question for you I've always been told to do a loop knot for lures i notice you dont why is that? well apart from the great sesh u had👌🏼
A mate of mine recommended me switching to 4lb varivas and using a Max of 6lb fluoro leader when fishing for bream. I’ve never looked back. Hook ups have become a lot more consistent. Gets a bit sketchy on the bigger fish, but hey, fishing is meant to be exciting.
Never worry about uploadinh when sick or when work isn't working out. Life is Priority happy your back and well. Cheers josh
Bruh I found you're channel last night and have been on a binge since. Easily my favourite fishing channel. Legend
Hahah cheers man
Water looks amazing

@@joshdfishing all good just keep making vids
Nicely done Josh, only complaint is I was getting exciting for that pelican to starting screaming off with your line when you filmed it fly by 😉
The most encouraging bit was that even Josh D can go 7 days without. Something I regularly do, Great to see you back JD. Cheers,
Hahah thanks mate🤣👌🏼
Good to see them legs dude .
Hope your feeling better .
I hooked a 80 cm barra in the Bribie passage on that lure, the best 10 seconds I've had in a while.

Yeah beach fishing vids are coming
Good to see yar back on deck champ . 👍🎣
Good to see you back again Josh but more importantly take care of yourself mate .Nice new gear buddy
Good to see you back youngen. I was wondering if you were sick or not. Glad you're back and doing well and getting into some fish. Work mustn't be treating you too bad if you're coppin all that new gear. 👍
I felt pretty bad during this vid but I’m good at not showing it😅I’ve had years of practice of tryna hide it haha
Good stuff man. Bite been tough here on then off with muddy fresh around. Yeh those atomics or Daiwa ones seem to get em interested if plaques don't.
Yeah I’d be keen to maybe do a video comparing the top together to see what works better than other in certain circumstances
The Atomic ghost gill colour slays the bream, awesome fishing session mate, your always bringing the quality, well done Josh.
That’s the colour!! And I wanna keep my channel based on quality over quantity👌🏼
Awesome session mate. Hope you are feeling better, love the commentary.
Josh, glad to see you are back, up and about. Hope you are able to sort out your health issues for the long term and it allows you to keep doing what you are best at. Keep it coming mate.
Thanks matey
Your health should always be your first priority. You make good content and we'd like you to continue doing so.
Hope your on the mend Champion, though your vid’s are thoroughly entertaining don’t stress about uploads, anticipation makes them all the better!
Fish for the love of fishing 🤙
congrats on 12k lets go
Its good to see you back into it 👍 , i went fishing after work myself tonight but only bait fish around so only fished for an hour the sandflies started so i left have not been for a few weeks as the weather has been crap . Hope your new doctor gets you right .
Oh dude the sand flies will get ya every damn time😅 they are such a pain. And yeah hopefully this new doc can find out what’s wrong with me:/
Nice vid mate, what was the size and weight jig head of the minnow soft lure?
I feel you, a lot! I spent 4 hours in the water yesterday, around and just under the Harbour Bridge. Not even a single byte. I'm tyred from work now, and I'm not sure what i should do. I'll have a sesh up to The Entrance this weekend, hopefully i can film something.
Ps: I'm sorry for you being sick....
Yeah dude that’s fishing aye. Sometimes they just completely shut down and other times they are sooo fired up!
The truth is that all the fish got together and sent you a message - pleading for a rest. Good to see you back, Josh ;)
🙏🏼
I think your lure is an Atomic Hardz in Ghost Gill Brown colour. I'm hoping to use mine tomorrow, so hopefully I get some luck like you got. lol
Thanks the colour!! And hopefully you do as well as I did that arvo🙌🏼
Video idea, try catching the smallest fish you can on the heaviest rod set up you have.
They would be hilarious
Hey Josh mate, I’m torn between a Millerods TwitchFreak or the GrubsFreak… going to be using hard bodies and soft plastics but can’t decide as both are “made” for one or the other :/ what would you recommend? TwitchFreak is 6’10 and Grubs is 7’3
Any help is appreciated mate! Great video as always!
Can you give me tips on how to not get snagged from land based when fishing bottom around rocks?!?!
Use weedless hooks and don’t let it sink all the way to the bottom
I feel ya mate, so many good sessions last year with not many full donut sessions, and I swear I've had nothing but donuts for the few sessions this year. It's been a tough start. I wonder if it's because of the rain and it's pushing fish towards the mouth of the rivers/creeks, rather than the secret spots further up.
Nooo Josh! whyd you have to show the world this lure.. Was my secret weapon!
😅
great vid mate. Question for you I've always been told to do a loop knot for lures i notice you dont why is that? well apart from the great sesh u had👌🏼
I do do loop knots. Actually very often on hard body lured it just depends what lure I’m using and what action I’m wanting to get out of the lure
Yay your back brother hopefully your doing a lot better man 👌🏻🤙🏻
What a beautiful waterway josh
What part of the country is this at ??
And look after yourself brother
Thanks mate. This is the south coast of nsw
caught luderick on soft plastics and trout lures like celtas years ago
A mate of mine recommended me switching to 4lb varivas and using a Max of 6lb fluoro leader when fishing for bream. I’ve never looked back. Hook ups have become a lot more consistent. Gets a bit sketchy on the bigger fish, but hey, fishing is meant to be exciting.
And got yaself some water shoes ! How good are they ? Had a pair for a while now . 🎣
Hahah about time🤣🤣
