Hahaaaa. Mate it was a special day and after so Many quiet ones over the years dreaming of a place like this.. finding it and seeing her actually come to life was nuts.
If you ever need to get keen to wet a line, this video is the one , I’ve watched this heaps of times now and your enthusiasm is the best John , it never gets old. Almost a year ago , must be time to head north again ??
Make sure you don't skip the ads when watching this (or your other favorite channels) so that John and the other creators earn some $ to keep the channel going. Great session mate!
Wardy your tips for small wrigglers for Barra made our Cape trip a success. Lauren and Tommy both got their first one a wriggler. What a place to live and play !
Such an emotional video, to be honest, to see and hear you in the first 10 minutes i have tears of joy for you !! congrats mate.. I am super fired up for ya. live the dream mate.
So kuwl!!! I don't take fish home often...I wish reality was more like this video.... then I would never feel guilty for keeping a fish.... catching numbers like that youde be silly not to take a small feed home for the family.....lovely work mate....
Cheers mate. Yep those fish were certainly worth taking back to camp. An awesome way to round out the adventure experience too, sharing it with my family.
You’re allowed to say the best day of your life mate 😉 what an epic afternoon 🙌 feel lucky that you have shared it with us all. It is so good to watch someone who has put so much time into a pursuit and see it pay off. Maximum froth levels 🎣
Absolutely insane! Best Barra fishing I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Just brilliant mate. Makes me so happy to see you living your dream hey. Hopefully the ads on this video are enough to pay for a few replacement packs of lures because they got smashed!!! 😂😂
MAAAAAAAAATE!!!! That is EPIC!!! So so so stoked for you! Can't wait to get a bit of North QLD action in myself. Heading out for a good old gold coast estuaries session tomorrow. The big flatties are out and about down here at the moment. My mate blitzed an 89cm girl last weekend out at the pin. This was an epic video mate so bloody awesome!
@@mylurebox hell yeah buddy! Great to see the kids get onto their first Barra in your last one also! Killing it up there guys! Keep the videos coming, you've inspired me to get some fishing videos up, I posted my first one throughout the week 😁👍🎣☀️
Your a absolute champion mate, so happy for you buddy, so good to see you live your dream with the family by your side mate, your a inspiration to all of us, keep doing what your doing bud 🤙🏽
John the start with the drone was cool, more of that while fishing. i was smiling all the way with ur excitement, great sesh mate. John u should fish the Fitzroy at Rocky. its been net free for many years and the quality of barra n Threadies has improved each year. one last thing mate after filleting dont throw the frames cook them the same as the fillets. there is a lot of meat and tastes really gud.
Could literally feel that adrenaline big guy! So stoked and proud of ya for doing this trip! Your living my dream too 😂! Now I’m totally bummed about my 60 model GC Jack that took me 6 hours of casting to get yesterday knowing you pick up a dozen odd NQ’s in 100M 😂 Love it mate, keep em coming! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hey man love the vid keep it up. Just a suggestion try coconut cooking oil spray for the midgies/ sandflies. It's all I use when up the creeks and boat ramps up the sandy straights! My dad told me about it as the job he did for 40+ years involved bulk sandflies and it's all that worked for him! Just try it you will be impressed but where ever you don't put it they will find.. good luck brother!
Dave thank you. Your videos are in the precious few that I watch. my enjoyment in fishing comes from learning and testing different lures.. your channel has given me so much of that. Cheers
Awesome video Champion, loving the content, just wanted to ask a question about flathead on surface lures, can you still get them in winter with big bent minnows , or do they shut down in the colder months?
Mate they go all year round from what I’ve seen. I get more action in Late Spring but I was also doing more of it round that time. They still get onto em ;)
Mate I can’t believe it. You’re the first bloke to make the comment and not I feel the same. I have ripped and bashed and thrashed it. Washed it out only once a year and she is 12years old now and run hard most weeks. 9 props and going strong 💪 couldn’t be happier.
@@mylurebox lol that's the answer I wanted to Hear mate .done iam byeing one .. hahahaha...good on you bloke go hard on those big RED DOGS and injoy your time tripping around Australia 👍
Mate there were 3 reef Sharks right out front of camp, as soon as the head lamps were on they swam off the bank and couldn’t get a thing…. No way I wasn’t gonna fish in the dark up here too. Hahaa. So it was a tough one. The place is loaded though. 🦈 🐊
Im going to imagine that balt is from one of the packs i sent you last year lol. its the clostest im going to get to top end barra fishing 🤣🤣 Cheers mate. Matt
I've never been so happy to see a grown man have so much fun.👍
Hahaaaa. Mate it was a special day and after so Many quiet ones over the years dreaming of a place like this.. finding it and seeing her actually come to life was nuts.

@@mylurebox Thanks heaps Johnny , really love what you do champion, I am learning heaps, thanks again,
hahaha, crazy to think that if you'd taken the extra time and zipped up your pants you would have missed that second barra :-D
Did you put the "keeper screw wind on" bit on the Jighead yourself or do they come already done?
I add them on off you request when ordered at no extra cost
@@nipstacarter8434 do you sell the keeper screw wind on seperatly?
@@MySprike I can do how many you after if you want message me in my Facebook page we can sort it out there
What's your Facebook Page?
Probably after about 20
Nice..👍👍
Hey Jonny ? How good and reliable has your yammy moter been mate

Do you primarily use soft plastic over hard body lures? Is there a specific reason why if so?
Fishing in north Australia is sensational.
Ok what river system is this the jack burner would be awesome there
Awsome stuff Jon, goldy wont feel the same when you get back.
Also , I'm really shocked your skipping on 20/20 up there, crazy stuff
👍
let me know detail of soft plastic lure did you use mate, please, appreciate if any purchase link as well
It’s an Ecogear Balt 4 inch ;)
@@mylurebox thanks, appreciated
Mate have you taken your Blood Pressure Pill, after the first 5 mts, i needed one
Cheers.
Hahaa. Mate they get me going pretty hectic eh. Even just a hit for a session and I’m off chops.
Yeh i know where your coming from, kept it up love it ,ps i have pleanty of PILLS. Cheers Chris

Hello Sir, please tell me your rod and reel at 2.30min .. great combo
Hi Ric ;) it’s a Shimano Curado 200 and a Bass Raider 3-6kg 510
@@mylurebox Awesome, thanks so much 🤙
Sick vid as always John. Did you get any action on the shark rod that night?
Mate there were 3 reef Sharks right out front of camp, as soon as the head lamps were on they swam off the bank and couldn’t get a thing…. No way I wasn’t gonna fish in the dark up here too. Hahaa. So it was a tough one. The place is loaded though. 🦈 🐊
@@mylurebox yeah dude just about anything could grab a big bait up there at night, hectic!
The barras and jacks seemed to spawn so far inland
Barra do, the Jacks get it done in amazing fashion out off shore ;) how nuts
If you make jigheads, ill buy them, ive been waiting for you to make them!
Holy snappn duckshit mate those jacks hate them skip baits bloody gold love your work keep it up
What is the name of this rod? It's tough.
It’s a Bass Raider 3-5kg 510
Your doing the sand fly - midge dance
Hahaaaa… I was singing the special midge song too… not fit for family YouTubing. ;)
Im going to imagine that balt is from one of the packs i sent you last year lol. its the clostest im going to get to top end barra fishing 🤣🤣 Cheers mate. Matt
Awwww Matty! That pack has served me so well mate. There’s packs of yours with me for sure 🙏
Im halfway through and youre like 4 lures down!
Stoke levels at a high bro!
He is crazy 🤣
Try putting a bigger jig head on
