In this episode I am promoting an old spot of mine that is totally overlooked and underrated. The strand is a vibe and deserves to have a few videos dedicated to it which I will do. Stay tuned for the shirt give away #fishingtownsville #townsvillefishing #drainfishing #barramundifishing #fishingaustralia #townsvilleshines #thestrand #strandtownsville #beachfishing

Mundy Creek (Townsville Beach Fishing)
Переглядів 2,6 тис.Місяць тому
In this episode I give my honest opinion on this system and explain how I believe to best fish it, specifically as it relates to Barramundi. Overall this is a great quick "go-to" spot that I highly rate. #fishingaustralia #townsvillefishing #fishingtownsville #townsville #northqld #fishingnq #saltwaterfishing #freshwaterfishing #barramundi #barramundifishing #mangrovejack #beachfishing

Nice couple of BAFTAs and jacks
@@Townsville_Fisho thnx yes the Jack's are always a nice surprise
@@saltwaterfishingnq yeah they fight hard don’t they
I have fished in that drain before with live mullet and didn't catch anything. Love the video
@Emersonfishing24 oh really!! Sorry to hear that well time on water you will get one, I've never had an issue with it
i would reccomend a spot that i go to its a bridge over ross river creek next to the stadium you get a lot of fish traffic there
@user-zl6zr4jv2j Is it a curved type overpass? I think I know the spot alot of baby barra stack up there
@@saltwaterfishingnq nah its flat near mcdonalds
@@saltwaterfishingnq its called lowths bridge
@user-zl6zr4jv2j oh yea the big main one, I haven't fished there properly before I might have give it a try and film
i thought green algea was there and that the the place was dead
@@user-zl6zr4jv2j awesome pls keep telling everyone that, more fun for me 😉
@@saltwaterfishingnq wait but i wanna go there
what suburb is that drain in?
@@jaydenclippedyou currajong
You gotta show us how u catch all these Barras outta the drains
@TroyH576 well have meet up there one time... do a summer sesh 🤙🏽
@@saltwaterfishingnq 🤙
That is the best thing I have seen all week❤
M8 what pump are you using? Fanx for making and sharing this 🙏🤟🏼
@Vidushaka68 cheers! No problem the yak came with a hand pump I was like "yea nah" haha so I brought a Tahwalhi 12v watersports pump. Just be mindful tho it will set you back a bit over 100 bucks.
Aha Tawahli bcf 🤟🏼 thanks ya legend
Meanwhile bubbas singing out letttttt meee outttt 😂
How do you catch them do you have to go in high tide?
@@Townsville_Fisho nah any tide but along as not too big e.g. over 3m. Smaller and less run are better
@@saltwaterfishingnq thanks I’ll give it a try
Get the dogs
@@AddictedToFishin1995 🤙🏽
Good work.Was that on live bait mate
Yea usually mullet but this particular one was on a big eye
Thanks brother 🎉
I live near there always fish them drains but never get anything, even with livies
Seriously! 🐸
nice keep up the good vids 👍
@@Emersonfishing24 thnx mate sure will 🤙🏽
Doing well mate 👍
@@scottwaterson974 thanks
@@Emersonfishing24 I live very close to there. I should get on it. Do you find a better time to fish there mate. Thanks
@@scottwaterson974 I have only fished there twice at like mid day but have never caught anything there
Do you use a sinker there or let it just free swim swim
@scottwaterson974 very light sinker a 1. So they can swim around fairly strongly
@@saltwaterfishingnq have you ever used a small bobby cork
@@scottwaterson974 nah mate... any good?
I know that kid
Nice I now expect free KFC for life from him 😂
I caught salmon and barra as a kid of the Rockpool back when it was tidal. Loved it up there.
@andrewreis8877 wow there the kind of stories I love. Dad would take me strand as a kid and id watch him catch meter barra on hand line and the odd sawfish also was amazing
Great video mate , you are helping out fishos who dont have boats and are landbased . Cheers . Tony kap .
@janicekapcelovich9565 I'm really trying mate... just glad the knowledge not going to waste.
Great Barra spot 👌🏻have seen schools of Barra swimming around those rocks. Keep the videos coming 🤙🏼
Yea where else can ya grab a coffee and walk 20meters for a baz 🤙🏽
Theres heaps of barras there, my mate spears there
@@kizzjd9578 unreal aye I know the other headlands has a some good structure for them to hang out also
You should do a dedicated video on this but show throwing the cast net so people can see what baits there
@Theaussiefishingkid hey legend I will take this on board for part 2. Thanks for providing the insight 🤙🏽
Nice couple of fish for the boys
@@Townsville_Fisho yea so many here over the years... regret not filming it haha
@@saltwaterfishingnq yeah might go there or to the corner because I saw your yak video
@@Townsville_Fishoyea mad let us know how u go 🤙🏽
New sub brother what a video 🤙🏼💙
Surely let us come fishing one time how do you get so much barra😂.
What was it
@@frg28_yt69 a Trevor mate 👌
Good stuff
@@Townsville_Fisho thanx mate 🤙🏽
Was it caught on rocks or sand?
Dirt
Is it again live bait mate
@@bijojohn6514 💯 always haha
Love that setup! Do that again
@goldyandrobbo6540 I think it's just winter fishing can be hard to find the activity. I will solider on with the yak 🤙🏽
Bloody hell!!!!
Longboards for the win
Mad invite Bala hahaha
Done finished smashed it for dinner 😅😅
Still some good grunter at the right at the of pallerenda low tide surf rod job
Is it just at the strand mate? Nice work 😮
Yup strand beach 🎉
@@saltwaterfishingnq curious to know what bait you used? Thanks 👍
@@bijojohn6514live gar
Should sit on a milk create
Bruh... not all hero's wear capes 😂 honestly never thought of that
bloody game fishing from that inflatable croc lollipop. not to mention the crazy amount of sharks around that area, thats where i shark fish off the rocks
@warwickmilne3149 "she'll be right mate" 😜
Yeah boys! I'm a new subscriber and live just around the corner from these drains and am kicking myself that I haven't done this yet. I've been down there for an arvo session but stayed out of the drains, hopefully I'll definitely see you there sometime soon. 🤙
@lennythevillenq welcome and thanks for the subb really appreciate! Can't wait to hear how you go... winter can be hit and miss but I will be uploading a night session there soon! Stay tuned
Wouldn't paddle that yak around up here in Cardwell snapping handbags would smash and eat you! Have fun😎
Yea bugger that... i saw some tourists swimming at the jetty their once and couldn't believe my eyes
@@saltwaterfishingnq yep there are some silly buggers around, and we do have plenty of Crocs here and it's not good to see I've had a few scares in my 4mtr tinnie and don't let my dog run on the beach. Stay safe 🦈
that was cool, shame you didn't get a hit. I would like to see you use that setup again 🙂
@weekendwarriorchick hey legend I think I need some pointers from u haha but I will do a few more Yak sessions and hopefully improve!
Another good clip mate. We were does at the rocks at the end of Pallarenda on Saturday. Caught some flounder
@goldyandrobbo6540 thanks legends I know the spot and don't think I can honestly say I've caught flounder before lol
BArra i the city love it
Do you guys eat the fish?
Yea some times. Mainly in summer
Your channel lacks creative content it is that frigging boring. How to fish like a poustie malakia 101! Maybe trade your crappy kmart gear in at cash converters Kirwan they might swap you some knitting needles.😅🎉
Where are your vids? Don't see you catching Barra on here. Hahaha Your comment was less exciting. Had no Barra caught at all. Your name Karen?
I'm really enjoying your channel mate. I'm actually moving up to Townsville in a few days, keen as to hit the water.
@ClaytonFord thanks mate, your comment made my day. Good to know the content is being enjoyed I am trying to put in the effort of quality
i was wondering what u caught i was to the left of ya with the kayak
@hitmissfishing6552 oh wow no way... say hi next time keen to catch up with u sometime legend. Love your vids mate. How's the boat build going
@@saltwaterfishingnqwe will have to plan a fishing trip and cheers mate got a few decent trips planned getting married Saturday so boat and channel is on pause atm
We have wanted to try here! Looks like some quality Barra hangout there👌 cool video
Yea nostalgic 😂 we used to get barra here on a kmart rods in the 90s when I was a kid. Nothing's changed lol still a healthy system
Is this drain spot tide dependant at all?
@WolfPiggys in one sense yes but not necessary as even on low the water depth in the tunnels are about 1m.
@@saltwaterfishingnq What about when chasing a barra or something? Would you say a tide is better there. Or any time should have a good chance
@WolfPiggys oh I see, I have had people tell me they went during day and not got anything. Most times I'm either dawn or dusk on a outgoing tide. But it is best during the rain
@@saltwaterfishingnq What would you think of todays tides? Any good for the spot and when
@@WolfPiggys go for it, let me know how you go!!
Did you make that skiff yak all by your self?
Went fishing today with my mate got a nice 45cm jack went fishing on the other side of the drain you were fishing heard a massive boof inside there. Might have to go fishing with you sometime cant seem to get anymore barra😂.
Freaky aye when you here the loud boofing under those tunnels, alot of people have no idea how cool it is
Are fish in the drains fish ok to eat, or are the drains too polluted?
They are great if they are clean i live on the back of the other lake next to it and i sometimes eat the barra and jacks from there have never gotten sick from it
Most frequently asked question I get haha. Short answer seasonal weather conditions can impact the quality of the water
