Kayak Fishing Arowana Topwater Saratoga Andysfishing Andy's Fish Video EP.261

I'm very happy with this episode. All Saratoga or Arowana as they are known globally were caught on Surface lures or topwater lures fished from my Bass kayak. I caught heaps of big Saratoga that look and act just like Arowana. Catching them on topwater baits like Kokoda Bat, a cicada chitter bug style lure, also catch them on river 2 sea soft plastic frog lure. This fishing video is full of big Saratoga that look just like huge Arowana. Get a drink some chips and enjoy, loads of action in this video.

Hey man love the vids just a suggestion if your having trouble hooking fish on a frog try a heavier rod it will drive the hooks better into the fishes mouth. Tight lines!

Yes, I think your Arowana would most certainly jump out of it's tank if you tired to hook it in there. They are very acrobatic fish.
Have you ever tried dangling some food above the water, that would be fun to watch?

definitely beats the hell out of largemouth bass. I quit freshwater cause bass get so borrrrriiiing. I mainly fish offshore jigging & popping now pretty exciting but not the same as your type of fishing. If I was on your side of the globe I'd definitely have to give freshwater a shot again. I'm very impressed by your videos and hope I get to fish for Saratoga one day. Do you happen to guide or know good guides for them?

Or rig your Zman soft plastics with a weightless worm hook. They float and you can use them as a surface lure

+Ismail Rasheed good idea. It did cross my mind a while back, but I never actually used them like that.

Is there a steroid factory up the road? Those toga are massive. Love the footage of the surface strike by the boat.
Daniel Bennett
Daniel Bennett - 9 years ago
I too think generally fish aren't that fussy. But sometimes the selection makes all the difference.
I had one session up here with a few others in the boat and it was a slow day. The score was 1-nil in my favor and after tying on a switchblade I quickly took it out to 4-nil. My mate Glenn had enough and went searching in his gear for one and finally landed his first fish soon after.The other two tied on switchblades and a few more fish were boated. 
Andy's Fishing
Andy's Fishing - 9 years ago
+Daniel Bennett Toga's really aren't that fussy. Most lure would work, it's more about the location and terrain. No, definitely not a kayak up there!
Daniel Bennett
Daniel Bennett - 9 years ago
It looks that way, I might have to find some land locked waters up around Arhnem Land to test that out. But I don't think I would do it in a kayak.
BTW I have noticed that the toga really like the 1/4 oz TT lure switchblades, it might be the vibrations they put into the water? Could be a similar effect with the spinner baits?
Andy's Fishing
Andy's Fishing - 9 years ago
+Daniel Bennett there could be! I have a theory, these fish are land locked and all the big ones eat the little ones, so only the biggest survive.
Dylan Martin
Dylan Martin - 9 years ago
Good work mate, We catch most of our surface bass using kokoda bats, so cheap @ $6.50 a pop and reliable in the summer.
Andy's Fishing
Andy's Fishing - 9 years ago
+Dylan Martin that sounds good. I had planed a trip in early October, but that won't happen now. I will head down that way soonish. As for the Toga, they do spook a lot. I would have loved to sight fish more, but they spool too much. Maybe next time.
Dylan Martin
Dylan Martin - 9 years ago
Awesome vid too. They really aren't shy and are big looking creatures. let me know if you would like to fish some south coast new bass in skinny creeks. we will take you along.,
Andy's Fishing
Andy's Fishing - 9 years ago
+Dylan Martin cheers. I'm sure I paid a lot more than that, but it was a small tackle shop. They would be great for Bass, the hardware is a bit small for big Toga, but so much fun.
Dylan Newton
Dylan Newton - 9 years ago
Great vid Andy! Loved the close up take when you blooped the frog! Braid can be unforgiving. In my experience with bass and cod I never strike and let the fish dictate the take and allow the mono shock leader to take the impact for a far better hook up rate and have my rod level to the water or side on.
Andy's Fishing
Andy's Fishing - 9 years ago
+Dylan Newton thanks. I'm so used to Barra fishing, it's hard not to strike. I did learn that a 1-3 sec delay worked much better before lifting the rod.

+Owen Gray thanks, and well, to say I've caught a lot of fish is an understatement. I still love the takes and the surprises, and that's why I still fish. When the catfish almost took the rod over the side I was a bit startled! Lucky the bail arm was open or no more rod!

+Andy's Fishing​ Yeah they're a great lure, let me know if you find a way around making them. What do you reckon you'll end up using?

Andy's Fishing - 9 years ago
+Adam Sefton I might have a go at making them myself, although it looks like a bit of a challenge!

+Lachlan Ettles-O'NeiII I did that once with a big Toga, never again, I also did it with a small Europen Pike, also never again, not even a 40cm one! When Toga are 30cm long it's fine, but a big one will cut you deep, especially when they struggle.

Hey Andy, nice video. I'm just wondering what sort of lures you would r commend for fish like mangrove jack or Barra. Have you ever used a vibe lure? Thanks
The Dark Load
The Dark Load - 9 years ago
+Andy's Fishing ok thanks andy
Andy's Fishing
Andy's Fishing - 9 years ago
+The Dark Load thanks, anything you use for Barra you can use for Jacks, but a bit smaller. I have heaps of Barra fishing videos.
Here's two with vibes in them.

they don't seem to fight that hard ? what setup are you using line weight etc?
Andy's Fishing
Andy's Fishing - 9 years ago
+josh cumming they aren't a heavy fish for their size, they also try and swim backwards to get away that tires them out.

+Andy's Fishing RoKKiT KiT makes some great kayak specific vids specialising mainly in macks off the gold coast. Godzilla Kayak fishing Australia gets around a bit and Paul Pallet & isizinyo are both down at Coffs harbour and do a bit more snapper as well as macks, but are more about the paddling the fishing is just a bonus.

+mungbean84 who are these southern channels? I wouldn't mind checking their stuff out.
Thanks for the heads up.

+Andy's Fishing bring your kayak or boat down to Noosa or Palmy late summer, the mackerel run late down here opposite to up your way. I'm know a few fellow YT film makers who would be glad to help you get onto a few spotties or Spanish.

I love the fishing video surface Toga il love it I watch it so many times the thing that was upsetting is when you lost the fish when you where measuring the toga that you had.

Hell yeah man that fish is such a predator . Nice jump shots 2 dude
Andy's Fishing
Andy's Fishing - 9 years ago
+xx4x4x4 yes they are, they are also a very old species, my guess is because they are so ferocious.
These fish are from 140/220 million years old, similar age to the Crocodiles!
