Hope you enjoy this one legends something a little different but also something anyone can go and do! Give it a crack you’d be surprised what species you may pull 👌🤙
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it :) yes the big boat adventures are fun but not achievable for everyone so this may inspire some land based fishos to get amongst it! 🤙
Cracked a tin or two sat back and bloody enjoyed this one Brett. 🍻 loving the variety rock beach or boat hope you enjoyed a feed of cod. Would definitely be going back for them squid 🦑💯✅🎣
I used to fish that rock wall at the boat harbour as a young fella, used to fish off the end. They were only just starting to build that section on the right when I was there.
A lot of effort went into todays fishing rewarded by that lovely big cod, thats sure to make a delicious dish. it would be interesting to see how you go chasing them squid. Awesome as always 🎣👍
Those slippery rocks are a nightmare. That’s why we bought a Kayak 😂. We’ve been getting plenty of squid out there lately. Good luck and I look forward to a calamari cook up. 🤙🏼
Haha yes I dare say the tinny will be making an appearance next trip lmao 🤣 good fun though! Yes surprised how aggressive those squid are! Keen to throw one in the pan 👌
Good fun mate, I love fishing a live mullet under a float. Grab yourself a pair of adrenalin brand rock fishing boots, you will wonder why you didn't get a pair years ago.
I would hook the fish in the middle, in a way that it bleeds a little bit and doesn't swim like a health fish, would attract something big for sure and would be pretty impossible to eat more than its tail without getting hooked. That fish was awesome! Good catch my friend, shame that wasn't sunny.
Hello Icon!!! I'm really digging these fishing on the rocks vlogs!! You have some really unique terrain with those rock jetties lined up one after the other that must hide everything from Cod and Mangrove Snapper to Grouper and if you hit the current the right way, a host of pelagic species!! I'm curious though, are the rods more like Surf rods or are they their own specialized kit, along with the reel? I think it's a shame that no one has come up with a suitable looking robot fish lure with front and back facing cameras to pick up the takes. Something to look at doing with an old GoPro maybe, imbedded in the head and hook for a big plastic or something?! Could yield some freaky and fantastic footage!! I remember back a few years, a company marketed a camera that attached to your line called a "Water Wolf" but I never used one, and the company seems to have disappeared, but they had a sound looking product. I think a Lure Designer would have a blast developing a rechargeable robot bait fish with a 4K camera worked into it, right!? So onto the Family, how is Momma Tal doing? Any more kicking from the future wee Icon? I can't believe how fast the time is going, I have another trip to the west coast planned for the second week in June. Just a few days to see another band I like (One from the late 80's/early 90's called Images in Vogue). They were a very cool Canadian band whose drummer left to form another influential band that pioneered the industrial sound, they were called Skinny Puppy and have recently retired hence the reforming of Images in Vogue. If I can I'll try to meet up with my friend Chris who has a channel called PNW Samson here on the TH-cams. Otherwise I hope everything is going well for you, Mate! You must be almost to the point where the "Baby Arrival" panic has set in, where you think nothing is ready, and you need more time, but the little Miss has a schedule of her own and it has nothing to do with what you have planned. I won't tell you my experiences as everyone's is different, just try and enjoy this time cause little Miss Chaos will be exactly that Chaos!! lol I'm kidding, babies are the best!! A brand spanking new human that you get to mold into a future productive member of society. Which brings me to a story, many years ago I watched the comedian Steve Martin doing his stand-up which gave my Girlfriend and I an idea to teach our kid (if we had one,...we didn't) English incorrectly, so that one day the little chip off the old block would raise their hand in class to ask permission to go to the loo, but instead of the customary "May I please go to the bathroom, Teacher?" it would come out "Excuse me Dog Face, can I Mambo Sideways to the Banana Patch!?" Just a small bit of the power you wield when raising a new human!! I hope you guys have a great couple of weeks ahead of you, much Love to You and Tal(+1 Icon) and the Pups!! Take care - Dave
Hey legend!! Sorry about the delayed reply on this one I wanted to make sure I got to everything haha I do remember those water wolf cameras they’re actually a sort after item by a lot of people very hard to find haha I’ve been looking in to a home made housing to tow along out of PVC pipe there’s some good diy ones out there :) the rock walls here are generally always associated with either a boat harbour or a passage out to sea to help break up the swell and waves. Generally good fish attracting areas too ;). Haha I’m sure there will be some quirky words coming out during the language barriers with the new one 🤣🤣🤣 hope you’ve been doing well mate !! Sending love and good vibes from our growing family to yours:)
@@CoastalChaosAdventures I'd say you and Tal have your hands more than full just at the moment, so don't feel bad if you don't answer right off after, I'm not going anywhere and even if you miss one or two, I know you'll catch up when you can. I'm still doing okay, my shoulder surgery has been put off another year until I can meet yet another specialist, (the next Dr. is an Orthopedic Surgeon, so we shall see what gives when I see him) until then cortisone shots to help get me through. Believe it or not I'm still slowly amassing your Canadian Christmas and Welcome New Chaos package and saving for the cost to ship it. Like you guys in Australia, our costs for everything have skyrocketed under El Presidente, His Wokeness, Justin Trudeau. But it WILL get there even if I have to escape Canadaistan and hand deliver it!!! Take care, I see you've dropped another video, that I didn't get the notification for,...grrr. So I'm off to watch that after I get to some emails. Much Love to You and Tal and Baby, Indi & Bazz!!!
hahaha I was struggling to stand up let alone carry a bucket as well lol on a calmer day with clear water maybe... We are pretty lucky we are about as far north as you can get without the crocodiles being an issue. Sharks on the other hand can come in pretty close so always have an eye out for them haha
If you are fishing with circle hook you might be setting the hook too hard and the circle doesn't work properly. Not a pro, but some south african videos speaks of it
yes I think I shouldn't be striking at all just let the fish take up the slack but also a bit hard when the fish is darting straight back in to the rocks so bit of a catch 22. I will try some other methods for that close quarters style fishing maybe a j hook setup I think
Hope you enjoy this one legends something a little different but also something anyone can go and do! Give it a crack you’d be surprised what species you may pull 👌🤙
What an interesting day that was nice cod. Looking forward to your squid fishing episode...keep dry!😜Cheers for now...
So am I haha keen to cook up a super fresh feed of squid on the rocks... In need of some rock boots I think to help avoid the swimming bit lol
loving the shore fishing vlogs its something all ages and everyone can afford great job mate in thinking about everyone
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it :) yes the big boat adventures are fun but not achievable for everyone so this may inspire some land based fishos to get amongst it! 🤙
great vid No2
Glad you enjoyed it mateeeee

Glad you enjoyed it mate! I'm 100% going back with the squid jigs!
I used to fish that rock wall at the boat harbour as a young fella, used to fish off the end. They were only just starting to build that section on the right when I was there.
Yes I used to give it a go when I was younger too! Still a good spot to have a crack at but I think I got lucky with a cod that big :-)
Love the land based vids! Keep them coming. When you get picked up, was just thinking, let him eat a bit to get that hook inside. My 2c mate.
Good call mate I always get a bit strike happy out of excitement haha I'll have to remember not to stake on the circle hooks
A lot of effort went into todays fishing rewarded by that lovely big cod, thats sure to make a delicious dish. it would be interesting to see how you go chasing them squid. Awesome as always 🎣👍
Yes hard work indeed haha but great way to spend a day and get out in the sun and fresh air :) I’m keen to give the squid a try!!

Thanks for the tip mate! I’ll have a google and see if I can find a pair near me 👌🤙

thanks for the tip I will have to give that a try next time!! :-)

Great video mate, what size was the Squall
Cheers mate! That’s a squall II 12SD.
@@CoastalChaosAdventures great reels !
should of taken the live baiiit bucket out there with ya. also not worried about crocs?
hahaha I was struggling to stand up let alone carry a bucket as well lol on a calmer day with clear water maybe... We are pretty lucky we are about as far north as you can get without the crocodiles being an issue. Sharks on the other hand can come in pretty close so always have an eye out for them haha
Gatakers bay ?
that's the one!
U strike it to early
I knowwwww it's a natural reaction haha I'll have to remember not to strike with the circle hooks
