Thanks Geoff. I have had a lot of practice over the last 4 decades. Haha

Honestly that's the most impressive part of the channel. The man is a sniper with his casts

Hey mate, that's unreal. I reckon a small one of them would be deadly on redfin.

I thought something different & did wonder if there's different sizes & assume different colours I'll have to give them go🤙🏻

@@robbiefishing Bushfish did a vid a couple of weeks ago with one of the smaller sizes and the bass were scoffing them like kids in a lolly shop. I have been meaning to grab some for late season yebblies and big reddies through winter. I reckon carp will scoff them down too.

Thanks so much Larry. I had 1 fish hit the honeyball but it didn't hook up. Maybe if I had of left the treble hooks on it the outcome might have been a bit different.

@@robbiefishing lol Relitigating the hit that you missed. It is the failures that make us improve.

Hahaha thanks Robert, and you must be an introduced species are you? LOL 😂😂

Haha

That's so awesome, well done mate. I would love to catch an eel some day.

U can eat them if u prepare them properly cut into stripes of about two inches and soke them in milk and Viniger over night especially with the big ones and slow BBQ and spot on the smaller eel the better the taste cheers from grumpy

@@colindyer4810 hey thanks do you know the legal bag and size limit for vic

​@@Smashy3 You can find out bag and size limits on the relevant state's websites. In Victoria it is VicFisheries. VFA website will tell you it is no size limit but 10 long or short finned eels limit. Always check the relevant state you are fishing in though. Learn where to find the details so you don't get caught out on the water thinking a 25 cm something is legal when in fact 30 is the limit in another state. If you know how to find the information, you can check for yourself, and always carry a tape or brag mat. For example, eels in NSW have a length limit. Minimum of 30cm for Short and 58 cm for Long fin eels. 10 in possession and daily limit.

@@Smashy3 as far as I know their never was a size or bag limit but it was a few years ago cheers

Thanks Neil. I certainly had to work hard for these ones mate.

Thanks mate, you're not wrong. They're really slowed down a lot here.

Thanks mate. It was a lovely specimen. 👍

Amazing

Thanks mate. 👍👍

Any greeny is a nice one in my book, lol. But, they were nice greenies for sure. How you doing Urban?

@@AndrewFishman Yeah ok, up in the Wimmera atm. The river is fishing pretty slowly atm! Did way better this time last year! Had MORE action in the 1st 1/2 hr @ Nhill lake than I did in the prev 4 days fishing the river! All I have landed in the river so far have been 2 carp of ~ 1Kg! At Nhill I got 1 35cm rainbow trout & 2 4" red fin!

@@Urbanfisho Shame it is a bit slow. Went for a trout flick myself last night, a rainbow about the same as yours. It was sooooo cold. But, when there are trout involved, numb fingers is a small price lol.

@@AndrewFishman Hah!

Thank you so much Des. I hope that you and your family are all well too.

Thanks Pete. I was very impressed with it, but it's certainly a snag prone lure.

Thanks Butch. These ones took some work. Haha

Haha sounds awesome Andy. I love observing nature when I am fishing. We do not get Rusa here. Well done on your rainbow mate. 👍👍

@@robbiefishing Thanks mate. Wasn't huge, about 35 cm I suppose, but in the dark on a small creek it sure put up a fuss.

@@robbiefishing You know them as Sambar, probably. Rusa unicolor is their species scientific designation.

Thanks Dmac. 🤟

Thanks mate, and well done on your cod. 👍👍

Thanks mate, there was plenty of it on this trip. Haha 😂😂

Thanks so much mate..

Awesome, thanks mate. I've never done any of that type of fishing. Sometimes I wish I lived a bit closer to the salt water.

@@robbiefishing pretty much the same gear and approach is used. Jacks and jew will hang around snags waiting to ambush smaller fish. Just rinse everything off after the trip so they don't rust.

@@TheCaptainbeefylog Aha, the dreaded post trip "F*#@ I forgot to rinse that one hook off and now all my hooks are rusted together" feeling of opening a tackle box is always a downer. Worse is the "Grrrr, grrr,grrr, rgrrr,gr crunch" when you realise you did not re-lube your reel after a wave washed over you a month ago... 🙃 I love salt water fishing. But, dang, it is hard on your gear.

Thanks so much mate.

Thanks mate. I was super excited with the strike. 👍👍

Hey Jeff, thanks for watching. 👍👍

Haha always do Camels. 🤣

Thanks Cam.

Hi mate, thanks for the great video suggestion. 👍👍

Goldens always get me. That gill spike on them is sharp. Watch the dorsal sines and the gill plates.

Thanks bro. 👍👍

Thanks mate. I certainly had to work hard for these fish. Haha

Thanks so much mate. I have thought about it, but it may be a job for next season now I think. It took me 3 hours to catch my first fish on this trip. Imagine how boring that would be to watch. Haha

@@robbiefishing Mate, with your shenanigans, probably the best 3 hours of viewing I will see. I mean, it did not stop them making Star Wars Episode 8.

Thanks mate. I haven't tried BFS but I am keen to one day.

@@robbiefishing Nice one, I highly recommend it. So much fun. If you’re interested I got myself an okuma ceymar ODT bfs reel from Amazon japan. Was $105aud delivered and took 4 days. Comes with deep and shallow spool

Thanks mate. 👍

G'day Grumpy, thank you so much for your your kind words and AWESOME support mate. I did have a great break. I think I fished twice during the whole school holidays. Haha I feel super recharged mate. 👍👍

Cool so glad for u buddy cheers from grumpy

Yep, I'm in Victoria mate.

Hi mate I am a big fan of the Koolabung Cod Cracker for that type of fishing.

@@robbiefishing thanks a lot Robbie

Haha absolutely. 👍👍

Haha On the drop. Every time I say on the sink, I picture a kitchen sink in my head. LOL 😂

@@robbiefishing You threw everything at em, including the kitchen sink

@@Michael_Lane_Fishing hahaha

@@Michael_Lane_Fishing 😆 I reckon he could probably catch a fish in a kitchen sink.

Haha Phil, It's certainly a cool looking lure.

@@robbiefishing A smaller version would be good for redfin.

No mate, I believe BFS fishing is much lighter and more finesse.

Huh that honey ball lure looks like one of my daughter’s fidget squishy toys ..but without the hooks haahahah

Hahahaha

Hahaha 🤣

No mate. I avoid the city. I haven't been to Melbourne since before covid. Haja

Haha thanks Brett. I had to work very hard for these ones mate.

@@robbiefishing top vid man lol 😂

@@robbiefishing dirt fishing this end 800 nox.

Hi mate, it's 98cm.

@@robbiefishing Nice fish. Can't wait for you to crack the Metrey on video :) Soon, my friend, soon.

@@robbiefishing nice, good luck with the fishing
