Hey Sammy, we lost a brother this week in a sad boating accident, we all watch your show and look up to you so I'm asking if you could include a couple of minutes of boat safety every week. I too am a solo angler and have recently upgraded my safety plan with a bum bag to put my EPIRB into, it's just too sad any of us perishing at sea with a perfectly good rescue device left on the boat. Rip and love to the heart broken family. Cheers bro😢

@@SammyHitzkeFishing have to agree with that

Hey Sam. We used to have some success on spotties and schoolies in the bay {4 beacons and top of the Rainbow channel}, by fishing baits deep when they went off the lures , we've caught them on the bottom quite a few times by dropping weighted pillies down deeper, running a sinker down to a 4 gang pilly . Also, don't be afraid to use smaller lures and slugs, you'd be surprised just how small some of the bait fish they feed on are, this includes the Long tails... We once had long tails all around us out the front of Peel and the whitebait, about 2 inches long, were jumping into our boat, we switched to a similar sized slugs and caught a few , {and lost a few !} straight away... I miss my days of fishing the bay . you'd cry if you saw the size of the fish we used to catch at Peel in the late 60's, 70's...

@SammyHitzkeFishing

Well there you go! Might have to take some pillies out next time as well! I did try a few different sized slugs that day. I think they were just shut down or not feeding yet! The longtails were definitely keen though 👌👌

Have you tried switching to a small soft plastic for longies? I usually have way more luck with those than the metals. I use a size 5 1oz jig head to get a long cast with a 4 inch paddle tail. Just enough movement at the back to interest them and no worry about straightening the hook.

Possibly, but if you really knew about bite times and tide charts you’d realize that both bite times and tide changes are 6 hours apart. So fishing for 10 hours without a fish would mean I at least fished through 1 of each at a minimum. 😉 Sometimes you just have to grind it out 👍
