Barramundi Fishing basics Jerk bait series - Dean Silvester

Thanks mate for your advice going to Awoonga this year first time Barra fishing. Normally fishing for bass and cod so any advice would help.

Great tips for all 👍

Hey mate I won’t to try Barra fishing some day what dam would you recommend to try that the Barra aren’t to hard to catch great video by the way

Great video thanks Dean. I think that unknown colour is Uroka Wakasagi or something like that. I've also had success with matte pearl white. I've always used the standard HT hooks without issue. One of mine seems to be running a bit crooked. Would you suggest I twist the tow point slightly with pliers to get it to run straight? Also wanted to add that I tried fly fishing for Barra on my last trip but struggled with my casting. Turns out that Barra flies are very different to the smaller flies I'd been practicing with. Now that I'm back in Bass territory - what flies would you recommend using at Maroon/Hinze etc?

Hey mate can u do a tutorial on swim baiting for cod... with and with our chin weights

Awesome mate. Awesome tips for anyone chasing barra on jerk baits, and that hit on the pause 😳😳 there is nothing better

Learnt a lot from this vid cheers Dean! I want that hat too where’d you get it? 🎣

Hi Dean, what knot do you use to tie to that split ring.Cheers Rod ps great videos I just love Barra Haven't caught that many but still love em

Hey Dean Paul from thehook&thecook love the channel mate have you done any clips on your Lowrance HD side scan. Just wanting to learn more on tips for Barra on my HDS sides scan cheers great clip mate 👍

What's the dial for on the left side of the reel?

Hey mate with the Jerkbait do you use the double deep one or the shallow one more

Loving you’re videos mate, awesome content bro. I’m off to monduran in a couple of months so I’m keen to try some of youre tips man 👌🤙

Hello, which you recommend floating or suspending type of jerk bait? Thanks,have a good day sir. 😃

for my barra fishing its HT squirrel DD 79s in silent also using the smash minnow 100s as well. same as u, i dont swap out the terminals unless needed and colour is how i feel at the time. will say that the black/gold has accounted for some nice barra but i dont use it all the time. cheers.

How do you jerkbait?

What size are the squirrels

Started Jerk Bait fishing for largemouth bass last fall. Fished all summer now into the fall. Haven't caught a thing or even a hit. Was going to give up on the jerk bait. But, Dean after watching this video. I believe my technic is all wrong. It could be my color selection also. I think I will double down on the jerkbait and give it another try. Great VIDEO. I am still learning alot from them all. Thanks, Dean! Shawn.

Thats Lure my dream broth..😊

Hey Dean

Mate just a quick thank you. I've been following your tips for Barra. Just thought I'd let you know I got a 84cm on a squirrel 115cm this morning, twitching it as you recommend. First time I've landed a Barra on monduran. Used a number if tips I've watched on your video.
Starting to find em a bit easier now so putting myself in the right areas. Thanks again.

Before you have landed your first Baz of the day and you dont know how they are biting yet, do you run lighter leader and risk getting dusted or go the safety approach?

How is that sunline siglon x8? Does it fray ? Is the casting great ?

I know you said colour doesn't matter but I'm so meticulous 😭 I fish Saltwater barra up in the NT and the colour of water I fish in is usually really discoloured and green. What colours would you reccomend in the Jackell squirell? Also should I fish a silent or rattled lure? Cheers

Hey mate, can you use that same rod with a spin reel?

Here we go.. mate these are awesome so informative thankyou for the time you out into these cheers big fella

Where do you get the rattling versions???

Ive never used a baitcaster before. Is it essential for barra jerkbaiting or will spin work just as well?

Great info!! thank you...

Great video Dean, thank you so much. Im heading to Monduran next week and this helped me a tonne. Thanks Mate, keep up the good work.

This guy is barramundi engineer

Mate im off to Mondi tommorrow for a few days. Just wanted to say thanks allot for all the info and tips, its invaluable info! I owe you a beer if I ever bump into you. Cheers mate

Excellent.

Nice review sir. How can i get the lure

Thanks Dean, I am a backpacker from Chile living in Tinaroo area, usually casting only plastics and will give it a go to jerkbaits.

Thank you heaps I was fishing today and dropped two 80 plus Barra and I dropped both of them because the hooks were bent heaps and my drag wasn’t too tight I was using 30 Ld braid and 50 ld litre so I couldn’t have my drag too tight any way but the hooks were all bent so I was thinking I would need better stronger hooks and now I know what hooks to get thank you.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

You can actually cast a 12 gram lure using 40 lbs mainline/60lbs leader?

Looking at upgrading my gear for barra. Currently run a 2500 shimano sedona with 10lb braid. The thing will get smoked in no time? When using a bait caster, how does it fish with soft plastics, poppers etc?
