Thanks for the positive feedback! I’m always mindful of my North Queensland slur. So I’ll keep the talking to a minimum to spare the viewers 😉 Thanks for watching!
Gday mate theres sight i remember castle hill and that bloody mountain in the back ,gee you were lucky with that mac he didnt get ya good fishin in the bay ,that trevally was a ripper see you dont need a 60,000 dollar boat to catch good fish take care .
Glad the video brings back a few memories! I was very fortunate I didn’t wear a set of hooks or mackerel teeth in my hand. There is still plenty of good fishing easily accessed from a small boat in North Queensland. Thanks for watching!
G'day mate. You see other blokes holding up fresh caught fish still with the lure in its gob, they hold it up like you did and next thing there both joined at the lure. Ya' gotta' learn. Dong the bastard first before the happy snap and brag photo. Bloody nice GT on light gear, well fought. The scream is a nice sound though isn't it. Another great show. Your doin' a good job mate.
I actually broke my own rule to remove the lure before holding it up to the camera. I was lucky on this occasion! The emotions of hooking, landing or losing a good fish will never grow old for me. Thanks for your comment it is greatly appreciated.
@@returnoutdoors2210 No worries i enjoy your videos ,I am personally laid up with bad health waiting on a few surgerys so i cant get out in the boat my self well that's what the Neurosurgeon tells me , so i live my fishing day vicariously through you and a couple of others . I enjoy them so keep up the great work and if you ever need to drop some fish off i am sure we could barter som things .:D Quite happy to if you get some fresh any thing really ... Cheers mate keep up the great videos .
Fantastic video, gives me hope that I can start catching fish out there. I'm only new to fishing around Townsville. Ive tried middle reef a couple of times with little success but ill see how I go with this upcoming bought of good weather. Id love to get some pointers but I know that's not going to happen. Once again, fantastic video and tight lines!
Thanks for your positive feedback. My tip for fishing Middle Reef area would be to use a light leader no heavier than 40 pounds when bait or lure fishing. Good luck with your fishing!
I missed this one, you proved an incredible point that so many miss in saying I was outgunned and never had a chance when the truth is you can stop so big fish by staying mobile and the fight is not done until it's done so you have to keep working the drag but not exceeding it like so many do. So how do grey mackerel eat compared to their other cousins and which one do you prefer? I like a lot of trevallies so what does that one eat like? Cheers Garry
Too true, loosening the drag when a fish has pulled lots of line from the reel is important to avoid loosing the fish. This is necessary due to the diameter of the spool being reduced and increasing the drag pressure. I personally think Grey Mackerel are of great eating quality and on par with the Spanish Mackerel. When it comes to eating Trevally I definitely prefer the Golden Trevally. Thanks for your questions and comment!👍
I would usually release it but after a long fight on light line the chances of it surviving weren’t great. It certainly wasn’t wasted! Thanks for your comment!👍
Best fishing video ever!That sound,the line taken by the fish...Thanks!
Thanks for your kind comment. Glad you enjoyed watching!👍

Love it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, Brad👍
Too close alright mate. That would have been sore🙂. Great fight with the Trev.
It sure would have been painful, and difficult to deal with fishing alone! Thanks for your comment. Cheers, Brad👍
Great video
Cheers!👍
Shoulders on that Trev sure looked healthy
It was a healthy fish and a lot of fun to catch. Thanks for your comment. Cheers!👍

Great video mate. Always nice to see Maggie in the distance.
True! It is a spectacular backdrop! Weather permitting, I’ll have some more videos around Magnetic Island coming soon.

Nice Video, I'm inspired to dust off the old gear
Glad you enjoyed and good luck with the fishing! Thanks for watching!
Good job father
Thanks for your support!👍
Great vid thanks I I’ll be up there next year with my tinny what month was this ? Thanks
Glad you enjoyed. Usually start catching grey mackerel up this way once the water temperature starts rising.
Thanks for your question!👍
Love the content bro
Cheers, appreciate your comment.👍
We can all learn something of this bloke ,you don't need a flash boat to catch fish.
Totally agree, knowledge is far more important than expensive toys, in life.
Thanks for your comment! I’m fortunate to live in an area where a small boat gives access to great fishing!
Like any fisherman, having local knowledge is a big head start!
After all that hard work I hope you kept that last fish .
I would usually release it but after a long fight on light line the chances of it surviving weren’t great. It certainly wasn’t wasted! Thanks for your comment!👍
Let’s Catch up for a fish n crab sesh Mate 🤙🏾
Cheers, I’ll be in touch.
