    great technical content... many of us dont know what gear to buy for certain styles of fish or where to find the fish. Keep doing a technical segment and get a sponsor on board and sell their products... for example mustard hooks or nomad vertex/squidtrex you get the drift, im pretty sure thats where you want to get to with your channel and keep doing what you are doing to show maybe the entire trip in snippets.
    like preperations you take before you go out safety times you leave and why, weather checks sites all the details to make it a successful and safe trip, even down to the putting the boat in and out and washing it down cleaning your engine/boat/trailer and fish fillet and even a small cookup. These are just my thoughts and suggestions that could help you get more views.

    Love your content @johnnychowjc, we're doing a trip up to cairns in a few weeks dragging my boat up but have never really fished offshore so hoping we can at least get a couple of small fish lol limited on room in the vehicle so figuring out what rod setups to take is probably the biggest challenge for us newbies haha, keep the great content coming 👌😉

    • @johnnychowjc
      @johnnychowjc  Рік тому

      Hey mate thanks for supporting the channel. Sounds like a fun trip you got planned. Depending on what style of fishing you are doing you generally want at least one casting rod (longer) and a bottom bashing rod for reef fishing. No need to go overboard but two setups would be minimum to get you out of trouble. Feel free to DM me on Insta and can chat more 😀

      @@johnnychowjc I think the episode can be about any style of fishing, dont forget we all love fishing and it could start with
      episode 1 :) im fishing for topwater fish spanish mackeral the entire setup of your gear the bait the jigs/stickbaits weights the month of the year the spaniards are on the legal size limits best locations to get them, the time of the day and how to bleed them fillet them and styles to cook them. again this is what I would like to see, this may not be what your views like to see its always worth posting the question maybe on insta for a poll and then you make it a mission to catch that on your next video. Good luck and I hope I see Episode 1 Spaniard hunt !!!:)
