Mick you were fishing on my doorstep , 2 houses away.Please keep this a secret but there are heaps of fish here. Jewfish , bream , flathead , crabs and big hungry bull sharks. They love the quiet waters and abundant food. Funny thing is my son lives not far from Andrew and they regularly exchange pleasantries and tips. At least you throw them back and that was me you were talking to. Love the basics bread and butter fishing you do .
Awesome George. Yes it’s a great place to fish and very protected on a kayak. I Spend plenty of time on the George’s and Hacking River trying my luck on these beautiful waterways. Thanks for saying hi and may see you again next time. Mick 👍🏼
Nice mate. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate. Nice little session👍🏼
Great conditions out there Mick! The fishing would have just been a bonus 👌
Nice video mick , thanks for sharing mate 👍
Thanks Crebo. Hope you have been getting plenty 👍🏼
I was exactly where you were last week - same conditions. They didn’t touch my bait! I give up on lures in winter (except for salmon of course)!
This time of year is real tough
Yes lure fishing in Winter can be tough. Need to be a bit crazy 😂😂 it’s a nice way to spend a few hours on the water 👍🏼
@@mickettingshausen the best time of year to be on the water, with the cooler temperatures, clear water and beautiful skies
Yes the canals offer good cover even with a wind blowing. Fun way to fish in and around tight structures 👍🏼
Awesome Vid!
Cheers Adam. I will be in for some tackle shortly. Short on Cranka Crabs 👍🏼
Nice
Always great to see those Silver flanks come out of the depths 👍🏼
Brave surfers - took my son down to see the swell at Stanwell Tops - massive waves!!!
Yes you would not get me out there! No chance
Beautiful footage Mick -- the PJ Sharks are really beautiful.
Thanks for that. The PJ’s come in during winter. They are pretty chilled out 👍🏼
Fantastic footage Mick
Thanks Craig. Happy to have good viz. Has been a wet winter and not great for diving. Lots of cool critters 👍🏼
Cool!
Thanks Adam. Right on our doorstep 👍🏼
Was an awesome dive great vid
Was great to get in the water after all the rain 👍🏼
Mean sesh bro
We ended up with a dozen Kings. Got smoked by a few who made it to the reef. Loads of fun 👍🏼
@@mickettingshausen solid bro !! Still to catch a king myself 😭
Love the vid bro! Just subbed to the channel. Have a peak at some out out missions in nz !❤
Will check it out for sure 👍🏼
How quick is it
Lightening!
Great video Mick! Loving all the different camera angles 👌. How good are Sambos and Jewies on the light gear 💪
Thanks mate. Nice to mix it up a bit. Hope you’ve been catching plenty 👍🏼
Hi mick I’ve got a hobie outback just wanna know what length rod and brand you use on your lynx
I have always used Shimano rods and reels. My favourite rods are Anarchy 1-3kg and 2-4kg sticks. Length 6’10”. I have a shorter Raider rod 1-3kg in 6’6” as well. If you want to be able to cast long casts a few of my fishing mates like sticks over 7 feet. I use the Vanford 2500 reels. If I’m fishing for Jew or Kings I usually ramp up everything. Hope this helps 👍🏼
On the Kings I use a Grappler Rod 7’ and 7’3”. Great sticks.
great video Mick! i'm going there tomorrow so wish me luck! what size of sea anchor did you use?
The sea anchor was for a 6-7m boat. Was great 👍🏼
I'm heading out tomorrow there. Where did you launch from? I was going to launch from Sylv Waters
Holt Road Ramp or Whole in the wall ramp are both good 👍🏼
Great vid mate. I have followed your brother for decades now I have added you 👊 keep up the good work I have daughters that fish with me and the main factor is where are the bathrooms and can I see kids and kayak?? What’s that system like for bathrooms ? Cheers Mick
Thanks Mark, yes love time spent on the water. Heading off for a trip with my brother on Sunday for a week up north. Had some cracking fishing trips with my brother over the years. I had a tinnie for years and my two kids grew up in it. On that I used to take a potty for the kids. Simple but effective. On the kayak it is a bit different, and can mean paddling to places that have public toilets. Boat ramps and marinas and parks etc. On the kayak it’s a bit easier for guys, eg an empty bottle carried on board, and sometimes you are fishing in a suburban area so you need to be discreet 😂. Thanks for following my channel 👍🏼
Great video Mick! Love me self some fishing in the mangroves 👌
It has been a bit hit and miss in the Mangroves at the moment. But it’s fun fishing when there on 👍🏼
Really enjoyed that, love the different methods you show, really versatile!
Thanks Adam, have had a few fun sessions. Deathy has helped with heaps with tackle and technique. Always plenty to learn.
Nice variation Mick ... thanks for sharing mate
Thanks Crebo, there has been a few nice Bream around. Just finding time to chase them. Hope you have been pulling in plenty mate
Love the angles you can get with the insta 360! Do you mind sharing what mount you’re using and what length extension pole? Thinking of getting one!
They are a pretty versatile camera. You can capture things not possible on a normal action camera. I use a 2m adjustable stick and sometimes the shorter 120cm stick. PellKing Long 200cm(78inch) Invisible Selfie Stick for Insta360 ONE X3, X2, X, Insta360 ONE R, RS, Insta 360 Camera 1/4" Extended Monopod Pole Clamp: NEEWER Super Clamp with Stainless Steel Dual Ballhead Magic Arm, Cold Shoe, 1/4" 3/8" Threads for Action Camera. Remote : Insta360 X3 GPS Smart Action Remote I Changed the swivel head to this: www.amazon.com.au/Hotshoe-Rotatable-Aluminum-Monopods-Camcorder/dp/B08BYVK52C/ref=sr_1_51? As you want it to be stable when a wave hits the Yak or something like that. If i were you I would get the new X4 as it has more features and has the lens protectors as that is a key point with these cameras. If you scratch the lens its all over and cannot be repaired. I will update at some point but the X3 does the job for now. If you want quality audio you can use the Go Wireless system. It has a special mount and is still invisible. Or the DJI 2 Mic can connect via bluetooth directly to the camera. Most of the time I capture the audio on my gopro and sync up in post. Hope this helps but if you have any questions let me know. Mick
@@mickettingshausen Thanks for the detailed response Mick! Much appreciated mate. I’m thinking of getting the x4 and luckily I already have the DJI mic 2 that I currently run with my action camera. The plan of style I want to film is to have both the kayak and myself in frame to make it seem like someone else is filming me from another vessel so I think the extended selfie stick will work best. I will check out all the attachments you have listed and see what works best for myself. So I’m assuming the bottom of the selfie sticks have a 1/4” attachment point, that way I can possible get attachments to connect it right to my railblaza mounts, if not I’ll just get a clamp mount to attach to the rails on my PA14. Thanks once again mate! Looking forward to getting different angles with it 👌
@@TheFinesseAngler yes all the selfie sticks come with a standard 1/4inch attachment so that should work with your rail blazer mounts. Good stuff. Look forward to seeing a future video 👍🏼
I like ... looking forward to seeing more of this footage in your upcoming videos, thanks for sharing Mick , appreciate the info
Thanks Dave, will be giving it a good test run soon 👍🏼
Puts a whole new meaning to live scoping 😅. Very informative video mate 👌. Looking forward to seeing some future footage with it.
Thanks mate. Yes it should be fun testing in better conditions and marking specific structure on the sounder. Would be fun to capture some nice fish holding on reefs etc so I will see how it goes. Thanks Mick
Nice video Mick (subbed and liked)what rod ya using there ???
Thanks for the follow Warren. I’m using an old Ian Miller light spin stick 2-5kg. And on the Bream it’s a Shimano Squidgy 2-4kg stick.
@@mickettingshausen thanks for the quick reply Mick - cheers !
Awesome!
Fun session on the Hobie. We ended up landing 12 and a snapper in a 2 hour session 👍🏼
Great session, good for a change mate ... thanks for sharing 👍
This was fun Dave. Even the small rats pull your arms off. Loads of fun on a kayak 👍🏼
Yumm
Are you wearing Ugg boots mick? Brilliant as I got numb feet from cold the other day might try it👍
Yes they’re great. I walk in with thongs on and then when I’m on the yak i just wipe my feet and slide my uggs on. Supper warm and comfy. 👍🏼
Luck was on your side mate! Great video 👏
Sure was. Caught plenty of Jew in the Hacking on bait but this little guy was the first on a soft plastic. Good fun. Cheers 👍🏼
Well done Mick my biggest jew has been 15.6kg cleaned in that waterway.ive got two bays both hold marinas.1 bay i get em high tide other bay i get em low tide.its been that way for over 10 years,never once have i caught em opposite tides at each spot.
Legendary! I have not caught any that size before in the Hacking. Great captures and very memorable. This little guy was fun to land on light spin gear and a first for me on a soft plastic in the Hacking. Pretty common to catch them in the George’s on lures but the Hacking is a bit different 👍🏼
@@mickettingshausen big lures or big live baits Mick work a treat.mostly i live bait but ill have a butterflied bait not too far away.big plastics in the 15-20cm range or a nice 120-150mm hard body in that 3-6m water depth brings em undone.
Nice video! Whenever i fish the hacking in winter, i am never in luck except for salmon on the troll. Might see you on the water! I got a yellow hobie sport
The Hacking can be a tough river to fish at times. Definitely had my fair share of zero catch days, but it’s my closest waterway and I love the system and spend lots of time on it. I will keep an eye out for you👍🏼
Me too. It’s my local
Great catch Mick! Defs kept calm and did the trick 😅
Yes I was lucky it swam out of the mooring line. Happy to land this one, cheers Mick 👍🏼
Good session 😁🤘
Had fun on this one 👍🏼
🤙
Very nice mate. 👍
Hopefully more to come as winter roles on 👍🏼
Amazing edit well done 🙌
Thank you. What a place 👍🏼
Looks like you had a great time even with the rain. It's a great place to explore and after taking my kayak there earlier in the year, I can't wait to get back out 👌🏽
Yes it’s a special place. Very keen to go again in the Spring. The Kayak camping trips are brilliant 👍🏼
Awesome video Mick thanks for sharing your adventures
Thanks Craig. Great spot down there. Keen to get out amongst it again soon 👍🏼
Its a great escape from the city and everyday life there. Always love going there for our annual camping trip. Great video mate 👌
How good is it down there! When Mount Scanzi Rd is repaired it will be ready for the Spring. Look forward to going again 👍🏼
Nice session Mick , I haven't done a camping/kayak session as yet , might take it on ... when the weather gets a bit warmer , thanks for sharing mate 👍
Lots of fun. Especially with a group of mates. We had a bit of drizzle on the Sunday, but I’m keen to go again in Spring. The bigger kayaks would handle the gear easy. I have done a few trips on the Lynx and it handles a stack of gear too. Thanks Mick
awesome Mick!
thanks mate. Loads of fun 👍🏻
Well done mate. Enjoyed watching. Great result.
What a buzz. Really enjoyed it. thanks mate
Great result 👏
Steep learning curve. Had a ball over the two days. Thanks Mate
Well done very respectable effort
It was a great experience. Learnt a lot in two days. Great bunch of people too
Great video and terrific result, well done 👌🏽
Thanks Jonathon, what a cool event with a great group of people. I was like a kid in a candy stoer with all of those wicked Hobie rigs around. Great experience.
Awesome result for your first ever hobie comp , well done , really liked the 360 shot with all those hobies motoring off on the starting line ... was nice to meet also . Hopefully you have the bug now and we'll see you at more of these hobie comps ... thanks for sharing mate 👍
Great to meet you on the weekend. Loved the event, and had a great time. I have already looked at the Comp calendar and plan to jump in another one soon. Plenty to learn. Great bunch of fishos and well run event. Catch you at a comp in the near future. Thanks mate
Great video like how u showed distance and speed definitely put the time in traveling to the hot spot for the good size bream 🤘
Thanks mate. Yes put a few km in on the weekend. It was a great experience for me. Learnt loads and keen to jump in another one soon. Was blown away by the amount of monster bream caught. That 1.6kg fish was amazing. Great group of people and was great to be a part of it.
