Melbourne Snapper: Guys, too close?!
Переглядів 8 тис.14 днів тому
Melbourne snapper season is well known for people getting to close to each other when the fish are on. I personally am happy to put up with it for a few weeks of the year only. What about you? Got any stories? Positive or negative? Some may curse it, some may think it is social connection. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Very good session on the Reds at Ricketts Point. Fish were caught on lightweight outfits, whilst flicking soft plastics. Got the bag, released some, gave some to other fishos on the water. A memorable session.

    Such an interesting perspective Michael. Great video, but really dislike the double standards I must say. I was the first one on that school of snapper, before you and your mate also came over. I wasnt fussed at all, instead happily kept fishing and didn't say anything! So you could see my surprise when my mate showed me this. When you and your mate joined, you guys went into my casting area and you could say "crowded the area." But Iwasnt fussed at all! I was just happy when other fellow kayak fishos get onto fish too. Each to there own, but for me, I'm happy when others share the joy of getting snapper, and we were all laughing and having a good time. I can understand if boats were going into it, as it's plain dangerous,.but c'mon mate, don't complain about something you do yourself 😅

  • @jordythebassist
    @jordythebassist 18 днів тому

    You always know it's Snapper season in Melbourne when you are close enough to another vessel to smell their farts 😂 I've had it a few times now where I've hooked into a good fish and a boat will anchor up less than 15 metres away from me while I'm fighting the fish. Where I've been fishing lately it's been packed with kayaks as well as a few boats. I largely don't mind as long as we're all basically doing the same thing; going up wind of where the fish are holding, drifting through the area and then peeling back around to the start of the drift. You can kind of do it in a formation and in a rotation where everyone can have a shot at the fish. What I get frustrated by is when we're all doing this already and someone comes along and anchors right in the middle of us, this happened recently and I tried to be nice and tell the guy to do what we are doing as it is producing fish and him anchoring over our drift line is a pain - he yelled at me and told me to f off. I slightly changed my drift line and kept catching; he got nothing but banjos, cracked the shits and left 😂

    • @Michael_Lane_Fishing
      @Michael_Lane_Fishing 17 днів тому

      Jordy, yeah a good point you make about people taking their turn in a group, fishing the same patch. It must be said, it's nice to cast into an open area. It's a shame that a-hole parked his boat right in the middle of everyone on the drift. The Banjos were welcome Karma!

Great work, It looks so unnatural to be fishing there in a kayak, you see the odd person fishing off the bank in those sort of areas but i have never seen someone fishing out of a kayak there, you have gotta not wait until someone else does somthing to do it! There is maybe 4-5 hundred people employed where i work and i am the only one that rides a non-ebike to work one other bloke rides on e-bike it's about 17km out there so that puts a few off! It's amazing how there is still fish in such heavily populated areas, would the fish be any good to eat out of there or would they absorb to much pollution?
