Thanks Andrew !! I've always tried to make the program relatable to viewers. Yeah were just trying to keep it real, were out there battling and learning just like everyone else. I make mistakes on the water but I learn from them and I'm honestly not built for offshore swells and im sure so many can relate to this. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback !!

Can you help me mate, just purchased one today. What are the requirements here in Australia for flying such big drones? Do i need to register with CASA and get a drone pilot license? Im only going to use the drone for recreational activities. Thanks
@fishingmad2 күн бұрын
Yeah its really confusing, I got so many mixed messages from manufacturers of drones, Australian regulators and drone users. I had multiple calls between CASA and Swell pro to try and get a better understanding of it. I wrote this which has the rules they made clear document about half way down fishingmad.com.au/review/swellpro-fisherman-max-fd2-review the final wording from CASA was that an RPL license is not required if the drone weighs less then 25kgs

Gday Allen, tips for whiting,flattys and snapper/pinkies and bream? I’m new to saltwater, lures or bait? Soft plastics or hardbodies? Cheers, and keep up the great work, tight lines brother 🎣 Edit: can u thump flattys, bream, pinkies and whiting? If not how do ya hold em?
@fishingmad3 күн бұрын
100% go back and have a look at so much of our previous content that walks through heaps of tips and techniques on those species you mentioned, we also have a members area with dedicated workshops to help anglers really FastTrack there skills with plastics and lures for all those species which would likely be really helpful for you. you can see that at www.fishingmad.com.au/member now handling each species requires a bit of knowledge, flathead have very sharp bristle mouths so if you use your thumb in mouth to hold them it usually tears up your skin, also need to be careful with the spins on the side of their heads, whiting can be very slippery and have very small mouths so very hard to do and bream have teeth,

First off amazing video and i love your content! Thank you! Secondly, Hi Alan, I'd like to ask for some advice. Can i use Aird xt combo (7ft 2-5kg or 1-3kg) or (7ft6 3-6kg) for land based bait fishing for the "bread and butter species"? Im hoping to do more bait fishing than soft plastics (and maybe lure fishing too). Whats your advice and which model would you chose? Thanks in adv
@fishingmad5 күн бұрын
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the vid and yes 100% a 7 foot or so Aird in 2-4kg or 1-3kg is perfect for bread and butter species. Just remember 1-3kg with a 1000 reel is better for finese species like bream and 2-4kg paired with a 2500 size reel is more general purpose for pinkies, flathead, whiting, redfin, trout etc. Personally i love rods around 7 foot in length and find if rigged properly still cast really well. Aird are a great option in the entry level space.
@humblemumble14 күн бұрын
@@fishingmad thanks for a prompt reply! Thank you for your advice! I reallly appreciate your help! I was judt worried about the lure rating as for land base I'd be using sinkers and all. However i guesss you'd have to gauge it to the current and use the appropriate set up for the appropriate day. Thanks once again !
@fishingmad3 күн бұрын
Yeah that's exactly right and most lures and soft plastics don't weigh much at all, its only once you start casting spoons and metals that lure weight can be a real problem. When targeting bream your using jigheads between 1/28 - 1/12 most commonly and when targeting pinkies, flathead that sort of stuff 1/12 - 1/6 and those rods can handle that easily.
