- Live baiting techniques for big Snapper and Cobia. I also put the underwater drone down on an amazing rock structure which was loaded with jewfish and mangrove jack from the offshore grounds out from Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Australia.

Excellent work mate, great to see Jewies in such good numbers and your different perspectives offer a much more interesting insight into what we chase out wide.

Thanks mate it's not easy to get but when you end up with footage like that its all worth it.
Awesome stuff Greg!
Thanks mate I appreciate it.
Hi Greg. Love your work! Drone footage is unbelievable!
thanks mate glad you like it. Cheers
WOW ! Just found this channel. That under water footage of the jewfish and reds just blows me away. I managed to get some underwater footage of the last jewfish I caught in the lake, but it's nothing compared to this. Hats off to you mate👍
Thanks mate glad you like them. Its not easy to get good underwater footage but when you do it's so rewarding. Cheers mate.
Great video. The Cobia is a giant.
thanks mate
Love your work mate. Great content.
Glad you enjoy it!
Awesome trip. Love the drone footage mate. And that cobia, get a saddle! 🙌🙌
Thanks mate much appreciated. haha yeah that cobia was a cracker. Cheers
Very very cool footage Greg! Always informative. Keep it up mate
Thanks Shane glad you enjoyed it mate. Cheers
Great catches mate, well done. Beast of a cobia!
Thanks mate
Great footage mate 🤘🤘
Thanks mate much appreciated.
@@gregswickedfishing I’m running a new Riv 72 out of sanctuary cove so starting to work out the area the vids are really helpful 👍👍 thanks again
@@Captainbazz2 nice mate I'm jealous of your fishing platform lol. Glad my vids are helping mate.
Amazing day and great underwater footage mate.. those cobias are one of the hardest fighting fishing for their size and they don't find up until they are really done., very dangerous at close quarters too. Good job 👏
Thank you I'm glad you liked it. yes those Cobia play up big time.
Man, I’m loving these videos you’re doing 👌🏻
Thanks mate glad you like them. Thanks for the support.
Great underwater footage I really enjoyed watching keep them coming 😊
thanks mate glad you liked it. Cheers for the support.
Nice Greg, those cobes are nuts. They look awesome underwater when they spiral up above a wreck. Speared a 40kg one once, ended up with a few cuts and bruises trying to wrestle it.
Thanks mate. That's a horse mate I couldn't imagine the chaos of spearing one lol
Love that you keep it real mate, old school mono and livies to get the job done.
Thanks mate. That method still has it's place in the modern era of fishing and can make or break a trip.
@@gregswickedfishing 100% mate, lure makers and tackle stores would have you think otherwise 🤣 A bait jig is $2 and livies are free
Awesome seeing the school of Jew ! Great footage !!
Cheers mate it's always cool seeing fish in their natural environment like that.
Hi Greg, an awesome twosome with the big snapper & big cobia, along with the other snapper shown looks like you had pretty good day. The drone footage is exceptional with those jew just schooling around and they don’t appear to be remotely interested in feeding on the footage. Say hello to the old man for me. 👍
Shane Mc
Thanks mate glad you liked it. Yeah it's crazy when they get lock jaw but not a bad thing to ensure future fish stocks. No worries will do mate. Cheers.
Cracking day boys
thanks mate
Love your fishing vibes and style..I also watched some of your underwater footage. Great stuff. Love learning from you. Greetings from Bermuda...Keep keeping lines tight.😊
thank you for the kind words and support. It's much appreciated.
Greg, you'll have to take me out fishing! 😂
haha haven't been asked that before lol.
What rod is that mate is it the venom pe 2-5 overhead jig?? Mate I have to say your videos are outstanding and very educational. Then I saw the drone footage and me and my 6 year son we mesmerised!! Keep up the great work
Hi Chris, yeah venom pe 2-5 but 7 foot long that one. I generally floatline with 7 footer and use the 6'6" for bottom bashing. Thanks mate I'm glad you and your son enjoyed it. Cheers
Wish we had good fish like that up here at Yeppoon
hahaha are you still winding everyone up lol. You've got some of the best fishing Australia has to offer :-)
@@gregswickedfishing I completely disagree. I’d love nothing better than to go out and catch a legal sized fish here, but I can’t.
@@anthonyleavey7514 i agree Yeppoon is crap fishing
Mate that footage is incredible
thanks mate. Cheers
Another cracking vid shared to the tube mate 👍 I'm surprised you don't have gills ha ha
Thanks Scott and cheers for the support mate it much appreciated. haha sometimes i think I may have been a fish in my past life. I think about them way too much lol.
Absolutely brilliant video as always Greg! Some great snapper fishing there, and that cobia was a donkey 👌
I’m loving your underwater footage too. Do you have a theory on why the jewwies swim down and rub themselves on the sand? I’ve heard of them doing the same thing in surf gutters. Some fishos think that the worms smell their slime and poke their heads up, but that could be an old wives tale. It was interesting to see them do it in your video here.
Keep up the great work mate 🎣🙌
Thanks Will much appreciated mate. Mate I've witnessed jew, cod, red emperor and nannygai with this behavior so I think there's a little more to it than what you've mentioned. Cheers for the support mate.
Bag limit for yaccas and slimies is still 50 in NSW , they must have changed it up in Qld
Correct mate.
Best part was you stuffed after holding up the cobia Greg 😂
hahaha yeah thought you'd like that Foxy. lol
Great video, and solid effort out there solo too! Definitely had the panics with a big cobe a long time ago.. 45min fight on 8kg gear and it snapped off on the transducer bracket trying to gaff it 😂🤦🏻♂️
Thanks mate. haha oh no that sucks mate. They do everything to get away those things.
11/10
Thanks mate
👍
👍💯
Loving your vids, great work. What boat are you fishing from ?
Thanks mate. I have a 7mtr Riptide plate boat and a 5.2 centre console as well.
What do you think the footage tells you about the behaviour of the Jewfish?
Typical Jewfish to be honest mate. You will often only catch one or two from a school like that at the best of times. Targeting them at night can make a big difference same goes for the dusk and dawn periods. When they don't want to feed they get a bad case of lockjaw.
Watching your videos is both enjoyable and educational, Greg. Why do you prefer to use mono when float lining, is it because the line drifts down slower and the bait presents more naturally?
Thanks heaps Bruce I really appreciate the kind words mate. Yeah the mono has a slower sink rate and the fish feel a lot less when they grab the bait.
Nah mate you gotta go to 120 meter deep for the big snapper
haha not in this neck of the woods mate
Greg why not have an electric on the front and spot lock on the fish. ?? I find mine invaluable.
I have one waiting to go on mate. Not sure if I will put it on this boat or get another boat built so weighing up my options at present. Killing me not having one on this boat. lol
do you have a video on you boat your using here? can you tell me me what size the tiny and outboard are please?@@gregswickedfishing
Great footage. If you ever need someone to come out with you, I'm an army veteran on a DVA disability pension with cancer, happy to share the cost of fuel and bait. I'm in Ormiston.
Thanks Keith much appreciated mate. Sorry to hear mate I really feel for you. No problems mate I see what I can do for you. Send me an email with your details please mate. greg@wickedfishing.com.au
Brilliant as always.Greg how do you decide where to go when you are looking for new ground .
I have just moved to mid north coast and any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks mate. Generally I go looking where others wouldn't so i stay away from anything of interest on maps etc. its a long slow process but the best way to find isolated ground holding quality fish.
Great footage. Any chance you could somehow share your settings for your gp1971f? TVG, sensitivity settings Etc I have the same unit and can't quite get it as clear as yours.
Thanks mate. Setting depend on transducer type and placement. Generally TVG on 1 or 2 and gain about as high as you can go particularly when you slow up
Best in brissy
haha nah just doing my best to create some viewing content mate.
Hey mate just found your channel a week ago and nearly watched all your vids they are awesome.
Have you got any forage of the Tiwi Pearl at Harry’s?
Thanks mate I'm glad you like them. I do but the water clarity wasn't very good. I will get some better footage soon mate. Cheers for the support.
Thanks mate your a legend keep up the good content love it
Hi Greg, great show as always. Are the drones you use available to purchase in Australia?
Thanks mate. Its a Fifish v6 mate. underwater.com.au/shop/fifish-v6-underwater-drone-vr-head-tracking.html
Hey Greg, great vid, whereabouts is this?
Out from the South passage bar off Brisbane mate
You must be east coast?
So many pilchard here in WA
yes east coast and we get pilchards here as well but majority migrate up and down the coastline very close to the beaches
I know what you mean mate I gaffed a 40 kegger and it nearly dragged me over the side and bent the gaff in half. I am doing that next time.
hahaha yep it's bloody mayhem when you gaff one. I'm going to adopt this technique every time now lol.
What pound leader do you use when you target snapper?
In that video I'm using 35lb all the way through mate.
What depth water roughly mate, i see it’s nice and blue so I’m guessing 40m plus,
Just over 50 mtrs of water there.
Do you do charters?
No sorry
Those 2 fish schools merging together was that the new school and jack school or 2 schools of Jew
One school was the jew and jacks together at the start and the other school was the second big school of Jew.
lol giving way too much away
