I first learnt how to catch Garfish as a kid down in Melbourne off the Frankston and Mordialloc piers. 25 years later and I'm still at it and loving it as much as ever.
These days I'm living in Brisbane on the Redcliffe Peninsular and have discovered that the bay is full of beautiful Snub nose Garfish. These fish are fun and easy to catch and are just as good as whiting to eat and a fantastic bait for larger predator fish.
In this video ill show you just how to catch garfish land based using just dough as bait. Land based float fishing would have to be one of the most exciting ways to fish. Its a perfect way to start kids off fishing and its just as much fun for adults.
Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an upcoming episode where I will share with you the rig, bait and burley I use to catch garfish.
If I have missed anything please shoot me a msg and will hopefully be able to answer it for you.

HI G,A.. I went down this morning just a bit late, the tide was 1. hr , on the run down the water was still a bit brown it might need a another couple of weeks to clear up, one bite only not sure what it was i will try then and keep an eye on the water. Cheers Chris

That's a shame a few high tides coming up over the Easter break 8am through to 1130am should be good time although thr wind might make it hard. try and get the wind behind you

Whats everyone's favourite bait to use for garfish? I've been doing real well on dough but happy to experiment with other baits.

Where's this I've always wanted to try for them

Hi mate you can get them pretty much everywhere . The best spots are between woodpoint jetty and the bridge off the rocks. Has to be high tide. Time of day doesn't matter they will bite middle of the day. I will be posting a vedio in a week's time just with the rigs, baits, burley and technic I use to catch them. So if your subscribed you should get a notification when that comes out.

You won't get the snub-nosed gar down that far south but you will definitely be able to get Sea garfish. When I was living In Newcastle area used to get heaps in Lake Macquarie.

Did you make the vid on how to make the dough for bait?

@ScaleUpadventures Жыл бұрын

Hi mate . I haven't made a vid on that maybe I should. I did make one on the rig that I use for garfish and I talk briefly about my dough recipe. Not much to it flour, water and pilchard or tuna oil
