Battling Moreton Bay Monsters

Another great weather day saw me head out in to Moreton Bay to try and tick a few species off.I had some good success and spectacular losses!
I ticked a couple off early, then searched for a seasonal favourite that has need shown up as of yet before doing battle with some regulars and a monster out of the blue!

Man, your gear and set up is next level. You deserve all the fish you catch.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Cheers mate!
Love good gear 😍😍😍

[@HaydenGreen-cx2lq]

Nice Pete,
Great watching! As always

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Thanks Hayden 🙌

[@seastrength1291]

Another informative video. I am learning how to improve my technique. Keep them coming Peter.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Thanks so much mate!
Will do 🙌

[@gaffedbyguy]

I’ve learnt so much from your videos.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Thanks guy!
Nice to meet you and your dad.

[@gaffedbyguy]

It was nice learning from u and meeting u! 🤩 @@Peter_Herbst_Fishing

[@epic_tangles]

Another well presented vid. Your consistency in the bay is impressive mate 👍

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Cheers mate. It’s a good reflection of the health of the bay too. If we can change shark activity, it would be excellent!

[@epic_tangles]

@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing agree with you on the sharks, it's beyond ridiculous.

[@stevelovi1668]

Hey Pete,
Another action packed video as usual, great viewing mate.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Cheers Steve!
Bit off more than I could chew there at the end.

That’s fishing old mate, we win some we lose some.

Another awesome vid, we were out on Saturday as well but tried the top of Moreton where it was a bit lumpy. Keep up the great work 👍

Awsome video mate

Got pumped!

[@mrcrankyank]

Love how you can pick fish out of a huge bay of water. Impressive to watch mate

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Cheers mate!
Plenty of time on the water over the years sure helps.

[@aussieflybum165]

Nice work fella.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Thanks bloke

[@xuejiaoxu6778]

Great video looked like a nice day on the water sham the fish didn't want to play

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Thanks mate

[@sonniesfishingadventures]

Lol boat following you hahaha…
You’re bit like me, both our boats stands out like an eye sore. 🤣🤣

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Yeah, was a little disappointing as everyone has been really good on the TH-cam experience thus far.

[@gregcurtisfishing3558]

Keep the vid coming hope
To see giant herring show up 👌👌

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Sure it will happen somewhere Greg.

[@lexirwin]

Very annoying when GoPro stops/overheats wish I could stop it from happening. Another good vid Pete👍

More user error this time 🤣

[@thor_6886]

Another great vid. I'm liking the way you've introduced the early morning 'b roll' footage of arriving at the ramp etc. I live in NZ and having done a few trips to visit SE QLD it's enjoyable to see some of the surroundings - rather than just on the water, which in some cases could be anywhere. I also know from those holidays that sunrise in QLD is ridiculously early in summer, but it still always amazes me how much fishing you get done, then say "it's nearly 8.30 now, I might head home"!!
Quick question - when you're on spot lock and there's decent current, do you cast 'up current' and basically swing the softbait 'downstream' until it gets out too much line angle? Or are you casting 90 degrees and winding back across the current?

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Cheers mate!
Yeah, it’s early alarm settings these days…
I love that time of day and find it so pretty and worth sharing.
I cast on a 45 most times and work back with the current till it’s past the boat.

[@halen_outdoor]

I want to start fishing like this. What sort of baitcast stuff do you recommend, regarding to length, weight, action and reel size, Line weight etc?

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

I run a few combo’s obviously but a 7ft fast action 10-20lb with a 200 size reel with pe 2.5 braid and 40lb leader will do in most cases with larger, heavier plastics etc mate.

[@halen_outdoor]

righio, that'll get me going, and break the bank a bit but who cares. I'm gonna be out fishing. Thanks so much!@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@halen_outdoor that’s the spirit 🤣

[@gregcurtisfishing3558]

Big fish mate I have experienced that there and I reckon good size cod tbh

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

Yeah, recon that fish has a couple hooks in it 🤣

[@gregcurtisfishing3558]

[@gaffedbyguy]

I’ve been looking for ages now on the market for a good rod suitable for vibing in the port. What rod do u use?

[@ThorbjornHale]

Nomad have started making vibing rods

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

I use Dobyns rods mate. 7ft or longer 10-17lb through to 12-25lb.
