Thanks everyone for the replies, It definitely appears to be a juvenile dusky, thanks savage for that one.To rotare,I was originally going to say when I uploaded the video is that the paravane idea is what stops it spinning, the spinning in this video is me twisting the line because I wanted to look under the jetty, when left alone the paravane quickly pulls the pot around such that the camera is looking down the tide.I will hopefully be able to upload some new footage in this thread later on, in deeper water and hopefully with some target species in the frame!Cheers, KIF

My dad bought a gopro hero 3 for various online webinars or something along those lines, but as soon as I saw it and the waterproof housing in which it came I immediately thought of applying it to fishing. A pole mount has been ordered so I can make Gaffcam and Netcam, but something else came into mind...Berleycam.Many minutes were used pondering how best to mount the camera to the berley pot, the first idea was to just bolt it straight onto it:After a quick test out at the local jetty, it quickly became apparent that there was no way to control the direction of the camera, after all, it needs

Walk the dog style lures??
Kangaroo_Island_Fisherman replied to Kangaroo_Island_Fisherman's topic in Bait & Tackle
Thank you for the reply. What depth water do you need for whiting? Very shallow? And would the smaller 45mm size be better or should I get one at 60 and one at 45?Cheers -
Have any of you guys had any experience with walk the dog style surface lures for whiting/bream etc.? If so any recommendations on lures?Cheers, KIF

I caught a really good flathead once only to have it stick its gill spine into my finger joint inbetween the bones. I had to lie down for about half an hour due to the toxins and nearly throwing up regularly. My finger swelled up and got infected and I couldn't bend it for several days. It wasn't fun. I then decided it was time to invest in a pair of lip grips

Massive School of XXL salmon on SA's Far West Coast
Kangaroo_Island_Fisherman replied to bigash's topic in Fishing Footage
Great video! After my brothers efforts of catching multiple 6kg salmon at yalata last year, and now watching this video, I cannot wait to head over there to get amongst the action myself one day. -
Hey mate,Great time to choose to go fishing on KI, your have heaps of options at hand. There will be big whiting around at that time in good numbers and you can catch them by Drifting on the broken bottoms with cockles. You will pick up a lot of Flathead doing this as well. There are snapper out deeper but you will need to sound around a lot to try and find them balling up above the bottom. Nannygai are close to the cliff edges anywhere along the north coast. You should be able to see them under your boat and catch them using squid baits. You can catch the odd whiting off of the rocks if you c

Hey mate,I am in the finishing stages of my research project that I also did on fishing, rather I wrote a fishing guide for Kangaroo Island. In hindsight I should have chosen one fish species as I could have done a whole guide on that. Make sure if your focus question is where to catch them then try and limit it to that specifically. One place where I went wrong is that I didn't know when to stop as you can research deeper and deeper into each fish. One example is that when researching a rod for each fish, it can be broken into the material/length/different eyes/reel seat etc. and very quickly

Thanks heaps ausea I will have to give it a try. Can you catch them on soft plastics or is bait the preferred method? -
Hey guys,I have moved to Adelaide from Kangaroo Island and was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers on catching flathead and mulloway on the onkaparinga. I live 15mins from the mouth and heard that you can catch these species in the Onk but I don't know where to start. Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers.
