Thanks mate! Appreciate the comment ✌🏻

Thanks mate!! Haha they’re a good bit of gear!

Thanks mate, happy to pass on my knowledge!! He’d been begging me for “take ya kid to work day” all holidays and he thought I was going to take him to a tackle store… I just wish the fishing was better for him to experience, he’s been out a bit when it’s been good but not old enough to enjoy it and always with his brother, so it was pretty exciting to have all the attention. And he’s stoked he got to be in a KZfaq video 😅😂

Yeah looks ok here this week too!

@@Micksgonefishing it is looks perfect in Brisbane.

Haha yeah proper rain like we used to get in the 90s too!! Totally didn’t expect to find them dollys, I turned around thinking there could be a triple tail but then saw the blue and yellow and was gobsmacked! I’ve never seen or heard of em in that close off Mackay and of course I didn’t have anything to chase them properly with.. Reef loves it, he’s been asking me the whole school holidays to do a “take a kid to work day” I told him we were going out in the dark and he was excited! I wished I filmed it when we had a bunch of dolphins jumping at the nose of the boat so I threw threw him up there and did a few laps with them.. it was a pretty cool experience for him! Who are you fishing PNG with? I’m itching to get back over there, but I didn’t get vaxed and PNG won’t let me in yet…

@@Micksgonefishing mate, it’s things like that Reef will share that memory forever, I did the same in the Lake here. We also used to do a channel drift, snorkeling when the tide coming in is almost to a dead stop on the surface. My 3 loved it, and whoever saw a greenback turtle hiding, I’d dive down, grab it and whoever spotted it held onto its shell and went for a ride, deadset, I thought one of them was getting a bit too deep and took chase, luckily she let go and got to the surface puffin like a steam train! Good times and super memories! Grounds you hey and let’s you see life through their eyes in those moments. As for PNG, I’m going with Outside Edge Adventures, Nathan Reardon’s golden egg, going on a Liveaboard which is pure luxury. Froffin to get there, I reckon I’ve watched you PNG Trip like a 1000 times, Angling Adventures, The Wells Brothers Trip and Bone Lim also. I was looking at Lake Murray and would like to do that next year. But what grabbed me was a bit of both, Black Bass n Barra in the Rivers, some we are exploring for first time and haven’t ever seen a Lure. And secondly, the opportunity to fish the reef structures and bombies for Big Black GTs, Jumbo Doggies (🥵) and whatever else shows it’s strength! Hell you guys have copped some rain, didn’t realise it had flooded to that extent, hope you guys aren’t in the firing line of any of it mate? Do you have a webpage to shoot you an email or how to contact you Mick, I don’t do FB or Insta,

Hahaha that’s not a bad thing 😂

Yeah man, I rate it hey! Just got myself nearly 20 of these to play with over the coming months 😅

Thanks mate!!

Thanks mad mullet, he loved it! Need to build them arms up for some bigger fish 😂

Haha cheers mate, that would be hectic in the boat with 5 😅😂 can’t wait for this barra season to open after all this rain, there will be a lot of prawns running to feed them up!!

Jesus Saltyking...I've got two kids and the boat is absolute chaos...can't imagine 5!

@FISHING THE WILD Hahaha, just fish them hard and fast first up and 1000 rigs later. The younger ones go to sleep. Or want to go exploring and swimming. Defs prefer dad fishing but hard too when the young fullas up at the crack of dawn helpin ya get ready hahahah!

@@saltyking8964 mine are 2 and 3. If I fished them too hard they melt down after a couple of hours, and we're a long way from home. Ipads snacks and bean bags are a must on our boat.

Yeah this will make for a good barra season, just gotta wait for it to clean up a little!

@@Micksgonefishing new snags to pepper along with some big Barry's getting washed down ohhh yeahhhh

Thanks mate!!

Thanks mate! Glad you got something from it 😂

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it 👌🏻

Enjoyed it I loved it an being a local to the Mackay Region you and Matty from pleagic pursuit give me the drive to try new things

Epic mate, thank you 🙏🏼

Your welcome mate I hope to catch you out there one day. Until then stay safe have fun and I’m looking forward to your next adventure

Haha cheers mate 😂🍻

Thanks mate!

Thanks bro!!

Thanks mate ✌🏻

Thanks mate!! I do like that bag, it’s handy that’s for sure!!

Is there any particular reason you use the Ocea jigger 1500HG and not the PG?

@@alaadinhamawi definitely is mate, the whole concept of slow pitch, especially the half pitch technique I use a lot, is that it’s like a walk the dog action at depth. To achieve this without being able to watch the lure work it needs close to 80cm per handle turn at the depth you choose to fish. The Pg would be slower and you’d lose that mechanical action which would then make each pitch require roughly a 3/4 handle turn to maintain the walking action which isn’t easy to do and would require the angler to fish by feel and not let the reel do that hard work. It is possible to slow pitch with a PG but why make things hard for yourself…

@@Micksgonefishing Ok now I understand. I’ve been fishing all my life and but never offshore so that’s the reason I asked. I’m getting into to offshore stuff now and I’m trying to figure out my first jigging setup. So far I have a spin combo saltist PE2-4 64CJ with a saltiga 4500H and I’m trying to figure out what I want for an overhead combo. Thinking a 1500HG and shimano Type J PE3 maybe Also, love your channel mate. Amazing content!

I’ve been looking myself, very hard to find one at a reasonable price but it’s called a studio composite RC-SC handle

Oh yeah it’d be nice if I had the right gear there but it’s something that rare that I haven’t seen it or heard of that in my 30 odd years of fishing in mackay. I know it’s possible now so I’ll throw a light rod in moving forward!

Would make some awesome footage mate !

Haha yeah I’m pretty particular, but isn’t that the key to lure fishing, sorting out all the little things to make a big thing…

Talking to a 3rd generation paternoster here lad 😂.

Hahaha

Thanks mate, I replied to you on messenger 👌🏻

👌🏻🍻🍻

I did one not too long ago but there are some new rods I’m using now so I might do something soon!

Nah mate can’t say I have, not really my cup of tea

@@Micksgonefishing ok

Thanks mate, that’ll be pe6 in 90lb on there 👌🏻

Hey mate, I generally run the S when there’s a bit more run on the bigger tides or if I’m fishing really up and down country as it has a tighter action both on the fall and the lift.. I like the R on flatter ground and where the fish are more spread out because of its wider flutter, it covers ground on the drop and you’re rarely working the same ground on the lift. And then there’s the profile difference which is also a major factor and can see me break them rules and still be successful. But yeah generally bigger tides I’ll run the S and smaller tides the R…

Yeah I might have to if the fishing doesn’t improve soon 😂

@Micksgonefishing do it anyway mate itching to see what your runningv

Tying to the solid ring is the strongest connection possible, why have a split ring in the mix when it’s a known weak point. The split ring should only be used to swing the jig and makes it easy to change lures..

@@Micksgonefishing brother your the 🐐

This stuff is a special order job, you’ll have to get it from your local sunline dealer…

Airmar 175m

When the wind comes down 😅

@@Micksgonefishing so Wednesday?

I’ll keep an eye on it..

@@Micksgonefishing I should have room for one if you wanna tag along 😜

Hahahahaha I legit bought a pe4 rod straight after the China session from hell 😂😂

@@Micksgonefishing alvey deck winch is your next set up 🤣🤣

Hahaha shot I don’t even want to know that 😂😂 I don’t go to the pub or do much other than fish so in my eyes it’s justified 😅

That sounds like something my wife would ask.😂
