Crazy session hey!!

Hahaha, yeah man, that one was angry!!!

Haha matches the mo 😂

Cheers man, yeah stoked to find this!!

@Micksgonefishing Gotta love it when you stumble on that kind of ground! Would go off at night too! Chopper n nannies! Great stuff brus!

Yeah, this spot was loaded!!

No problem 👌🏻🍻

Tell me about it 👌🏻

It was mate, cheers 🍻

Cheers bro 🍻

Cheers 👌🏻

So good bro I’m still pumped on it!! First fish of the year!

Thanks mate!! Appreciate the comment 👌🏻

Oh mate, the actual peak of that was the only giveaway to the spot. We definitely hit the sweet spot!!

@Micksgonefishing definitely pays to keep that one eye peeled to the sounder blue back ground on a simrad is paying for it self 👌

Oh definitely 👌🏻

Haha yeah I’ve done it a few times but never that quality!! This is the third time in a year of owning this boat that I’ve seen it happen on the jig, Dad got a legal red emperor and a coral trout and my mate will got a stripey and a small red, she’s got the double mojo the old Haines !!

@@Micksgonefishing so that’s why everyone buys haines?? 😂 might have to start saving 🤣

Hahaha

Yeah man, I just got new big jig heads to try do I’m keen to do big plastics for fingers!

Thank you 🙏🏼

Hahaha, don’t worry, it’s already growing back!

Tell me about it bro!! That was my first fish for the year.. hopefully I haven’t peaked too early!

Man I would prolly retire from fishing if I done that.... not really. Bro Ur always slaying well Ur mates watching, do u just not film them catching or u just catching them all first? Always cracks me up.

Haha nah man I always put all, or mostly all the fish in the video to show a true representation of the day. I also learn alot from watching myself fish while editing so I got double the experience. I do feel sorry for the boys sometimes but then other days they school me, and I’ll even post that too! It’s too hard to make weekly videos let alone not use good content.. I could make epic banter videos with no fish but I’m not sure they’d be for everyone

Yer man don't change it, Ur vids are always deadly bro.

Never tried one, firm flesh but good for a curry or something like that!

I know right, definitely hasn’t had much attention!

Haha sure was!!

Bang on it 👌🏻😂

You need to go have a chat to Chappy at the secret spot mate, he’ll tell you where to go and how to get em 👌🏻

@@Micksgonefishing I don’t go to tackle stores. To many lies

Well that’s your first mistake, it’s in the shops best interest to help you, Chappy is no liar and there are definitely lots of coral trout in Yeppoon, I’ve been there and caught plenty. Go in have a yarn and get some pointers to put you in the right direction for your local waters

@@Micksgonefishing I suppose you will try and tell me there’s mackerel around Yeppoon also?

Yeah definitely!

Thanks mate, as with any kind of drift fishing getting snagged can be a problem. The key to avoiding a lot of snags is to really pay attention to where your jig is and being sure to not let it drag on the bottom. I use multi colored line which helps me to know where my lure is in the water column and the thinner braid and leader combo I run also eliminates a lot of the belly in my line giving me better feel and allowing me to not let my jig drag on the bottom and into snags…

Hahaha it’s the ideal outcome!

The 4 strand braid is coarser and cuts through the current better kinda like a serrated blade, whereas an 8 strand is smooth and slick and is held by the current a lot easier causing a belly in the line and less feel. 4 strand also has a lot better abrasion resistance as it has 4 strands which are twice as thick as an 8 strand for the same PE rating/diameter braid. 👌🏻

@@Micksgonefishing good intel, thanks brotha!

They are DUO pliers that I got way back in my sponsorship days, I got them as a Christmas present back in 2012 I’m pretty sure and they were discontinued way back before that. I doubt they’re still available these days unfortunately..

Hahaha me too mate, me too! This sunburnt chin stuff sucks!

Pe1.5-4 NS Boca and a 1500HG Ocea Jigger Limited

Haha I can’t either, it’ll be back soon enough 😂

It’s pe3 Siglon ADV, it’s 35lb average breaking strain, but 50lb if you tie an FG or PR knot.

Yeah Tuesday just been..

@@Micksgonefishing yeah nice I was out hay point bout 25k out was tuna macs gt's and couple trout going off was worth the 2am wake up hahaha

That Palms Jigaro Super Slide is the bomb. Manage to get my hands on one and it slays…

Ocea Jigger Limited 1500HG

@@Micksgonefishing hey mick have you ever seen a gold 1501? Been trying to find one but no luck. I know they do exist.

Generally a medium length 3/0 but on that Jigaro I ran a 4/0 long just due to the size of the lure…

Hahaha

Watch closely bro, I talk about finding a new spot and how I approach it, I explain where to find them on that structure, I explain the faster lure presentation, I talk about sounder interpretation, the gear used… As with all aspects of lure fishing, you need to pay attention to the details… Without videos like this on KZfaq you’d have to do a shitload of experimenting with alot of unsuccessful trips to get that much of a head start. Anyway I hope you could at least take something from this video ✌🏻

Bahahahaha
