    Ok as for the comp. My fav fish would have to be flatties. Here in Qld our regs are min 40cm, max 75 cm
    My personal regs are min 40cm and max 65cm.
    It's just that I think this species so needs protecting.
    There's slot of wankers out there who are keeping fish outside of the regs. I'm trying to compensate for that. Flatties have so much personality and are great fun to catch. Annndd they are fukin delicious.
    So yeah that's for the comp.
    Apart from that, your vids are so well done, I really hang out for them. Your personality really fits the content of your vids, you are a true Aussie chick for sure.
    Don't let anyone try talk you into changing your format or content. It works, and as they say if it's not broken don't fix it.
    I'm 74 this year , I'm a widower, fishing is all I have left really.
    Thanks Mel, luv ya work.

      Hey Marty thanks for the comment mate, it’s awesome to hear you love your fishing after all those years. I hope to be still fishing when I’m half your age! Flatty are beautiful, my mums fav too! I’m really appreciative of your words regarding my video format, it’s not like others and sometimes I feel like I should change it but I never do! So thank you for the motivation to keep going! By the way you have won the $150 gift card for the Fishing Shed Bathurst, you can use in online so please email me or get in touch on Facebook! Details in my UA-cam profile. Well done mate and never stop fishing 🎣

    So I’m back baby, as you might remember I love fishing for snapper on plastic.

    Great Vid Mel well said, locally I love Flathead of the bay for eating and fighting the big ones. But a gotta say once you have fished for Barra that is so addictive as its so challenging

  • @K120873
    @K120873 7 місяців тому

    Great sesh Mel. Great message too. The humble Flathead is my fav fish, its accessible to everyone whether they have a boat or not, whether you bait fish or use lures and you dont need expensive gear to target them and growing up its what we cut our teeth on. Lets not forget they taste bloody good too. hahaha.
    Tight Lines.

    100% flathead, if I can bring home just one or two I’m a happy man, my 9yo loves flathead too, so having enough for flathead nuggets for him and flathead tacos for me is great, it’s strange to think we get bonding time based around 1 type of fish as we cook and eat together

Favourite target species has to be squid they’re just so damn addictive
