- Call me crazy, but I decided not to let a bit of rain and wind stop me from fishing. Folks, it wasnt pretty. Sit back, keep warm and enjoy the ride.
Location is Botany Bay

Thanks for another awesome video Mel! Hope to see you out there some day to say hello. I get so happy when you upload a new video. Take care and be safe 🤗
CG thanks heaps hey. Come say hi if you see me out there, that would be cool 😍
Oh all day I watched your video 🙆🏻♂️amazing.. take me for fishing one day
♥️😊
Thanks for the tip about Nick Whyte, too. I've hit him up for a training session when he's next in Sydney. Keen to get out of the 'all the gear but no idea' corner!
Yesss you won’t regret it hey, he’s a top bloke and extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of sounders. Make sure you ask a lot of questions ♥️
Another great video Mel, thanks for keeping it real!
Thanks for watching Pete and hell yeah, will do my best to always keep it real ♥️
Loving your videos Mel! Good on you for toughing it out and good to see you got some reward for all the effort you'd put in.
Thanks Alf I appreciate it hey, glad I can share this with you 😊
Thanks

Keep up the great work, I feel like I'm in your bait tank as I'm a David,, Ha ha
😂 you are the first person to mention “David” well done 👍🏽
Well done Mel on braving the elements another quality performance... Tight Lines legend.
Thank you Kosta. That was a bit of a traumatising session but I’ve had way worse 😂
Hi Mel. It looks like holding the rod is the way to go instead of leaving it in the holder. Got my Team Spike stickers today and they are already on the boat.
How good is that Steve! Holding the rod is the best method for me, very successful with my method of fishing. Hey when I release the new spikes stickers please message me and I’ll send you one for free. I’m not the happiest with the last lot they made me.
I appreciate the effort you put into these videos. As someone who has done my own video editing from time to time, it takes a lot of effort. Well done.
Thanks Ray it is very tough work for me but it’s very rewarding when people are positively affected by watching. It’s all about sharing the adventure and motivating others to do the same as well as entertainment ♥️
Hi Mel,
Australian salmon is a good feed when bled and floured fillets quickly shallow fried and served with salad or chips, or in a fish curry. Do you use braid or mono for main line?
Thanks again for another entertaining video. You are one keen fisher and inspiration to many people who watch your videos.
Hey Fevzi! You know, I have still not tried to eat a salmon. I really should. Thank you. Thanks for enjoying my videos I really do appreciate it when you give me feedback! I use 16lb braid for main line, I will be going to 12lb soon. Brand is Sunline Siglon 8 strand.
I caught a cold watching this 😢
😂
love the vids mel. Are you fishing of the bottom with the half pilly rigs?
Hi Ivan, yes always fish the bottom although I do heat a lot of mid water hook ups on the drop using this method. The floor is my fave place to target ♥️
Okay no Bimini for you, what’s these suspenders in pocket.
They are part of my pants
Hey Mel, you reckon your half pilly rig will work on fluro braid or will I need a longer trace to not spook the fish?
Hey Catco I use Fluoro carbon leader from my braid to the #halfpilly rig. I don’t recommend connecting the braid to the rig directly because you will get less hits and risk losing fish if your braid hits any rocks/reef
@@spikesfishing yeh righto, so are you using two swivels or do you tie your fluro to your main line with an fg knot or similar?
@@catco01 I use the uni knot to connect my braid to my leader
@@spikesfishing thanks very much Mel. Keep up the good work. See you out there one day 🫡
Epic video Mel! It takes a lot of guts , determination, dedication and a touch madness to go out in those conditions😂 You put in the effort and got the reward and I hope you won the comp -you deserve it after all that ! The deformed flattie looked like a blue spot and they have weird shaped heads - well compared to a dusky I reckon they do . There are a couple of things a fisho should never skimp on - safety gear , hooks and wet weather gear - don’t ask me how I know just trust me on this one !
Thanks for the super effort to make the videos, the way you make them it almost feels like I’m sitting in your boat watching you fish 👍👍👍
Hey Ian thanks heaps for understanding the background work and effort it takes to do these videos. I do appreciate it. I did win the comp so that’s cool. The flatty was a dusky and recaptured by my friend which is cool. I think it’s been in a net or could even be just natural deformity. I hope you keep enjoying my adventures and thanks 😊
What camera do you use. ? Thanks
Hey Mark. My early days I used a go pro 8. For the last year I have used iPhone 11 Pro and lately iPhone 14 pro. All my editing is on the iPhone too
Great fishing trip spikes. Hope you go and do a video in the hawksberry one day. How do I go about buying some of those rigs of you that you were talking about a few weeks ago.
Hey Jynx! I will get into the Hawksbury one day soon, I’ll take a day off work and give it a shot. You can buy the Pilly rig from my site www.spikesfishing.com.au
About time for a bimini
No thanks 😂
🙋
Heyyyy 😍
@@spikesfishing hey Mel yesterday I went to captain cook bridge and there was no boat on the water , an old Ozzie man told me not to take the boat to water because of the wind and I didn't listen to him , I just passed the bridge towards to botany and my motor brake down , I used my Watersnake, I was close to the ramp but as a stupid I didn't go to the ramp I decided to catch fish and when everything start to get worst I try to move to the ramp but Watersnake wasn't strong enough , I had a look at the propeller there was a fishing line on it and I try to get rid of it but I didn't notice that the boat was moving to the rocks on the side till I heard a big sound from my boat , as soon I hit to rocks on the side a wave came and I was very close to flip over , I tried to use my anchor to make it immobilize but the rope on the anchor chain brake off , I called the water police and they moved me close to the ramp and I didn't want their big boat to go to the ramp that's why I said I'm ok just maybe 100 meter before the ramp , I said I can use my Watersnake now , We checked the Watersnake it was working but as soon they left it stopped working and spark start to come from the battery , I disconnected the battery then the water police came back ,they seen me not moving and they pulled me to the ramp , when I was disconnecting the battery I stepped on my glasses and brake it as well , I really had big actions yesterday and the problem with the motor is the only 3-4cm pin broken on the propeller shaft , because of that small thing it was so bustling
I wise man once told me, the fish are wet already.
😂 not wrong there at all. I’m trying to learn the barometer and pay attention to its impact on fish. Seems interesting
I could show you how to catch more fish within 500m of the ramp using no bait
Please show me
🤟
😍😍
u need a canopy
Haha nooo. I can’t deal with anything in my way when I’m running around the boat but it would be handy that’s for sure
