Thanks a million | Fishing Port Phillip Bay Mixed Bag
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Thanks everyone we now have 1 million views on the FishingMad UA-cam channel and 1 million visitors to the FishingMad website. After some challenging weather and restricted availability we finally ventured out on Sunday avoiding the crowds in Werribee Port Phillip Bay. What started as nice calm conditions quickly turned nasty into large swells which cut our session short.
That didnt stop us from catching our fair share of flathead, squid, pinky snapper, gurnard, and a million banjo sharks and a million starfish. Not the target big reds but lots of fun during some pretty trying conditions.

hahahaha those little pinkies confuse me too 😂 "far out its solid check out this.... 20cm pinkie...."
Yeah agreed. Foul hooked a few which made them feel huge until you get the tiny buggers next to the boat
Great video. Congratulations on the 1 million. Now that's target 1 million

Thank you !!
Well done Alan.....All the best
Thanks David !!!
Thanks for the vid and congrats.
Thank you !!
Congrats on a million views mate. Here's to the next million. Had a chuckle when you said "Bring in the banjo's." Burley is like, or are like women. Can't live with it, can't live without it. Great video mate. Loved the 80's rock blaring in the background too. Can't wait to get out again myself.
Thanks Darren. I appreciate all of the ongoing support. Banjos and Starfish are in plague proportions around werribee at the moment which has made fishing really tough. Good to see your finally back out on the water, hopefully not to long until your next session. Your also on the right side of town as all the snapper seem to be getting caught there lately.
@@fishingmad I was at Stony point today at various times throughout the day for work. Snapper, gummys and the biggest whiting I have ever seen were being cleaned at the ramp. Western Port for me next time.
Yeah I think so too. Lots of good reports from WPort. I have mates who have been out daily in recent weeks at Port Phillip Bay and really struggling. I've prob had 6 sessions and only caught on 3 sessions.
@@fishingmad snapper will be going to sleep soon most likely. Luckily December and January are great times to catch gummy's in Western Port. And February to April are prime time for whiting and pinkies. And then you get the autumn run of big snapper from April to June in Western Port too. (Also get them off Mornington, and down south too, near the shipping channels as they head out of the bays) So despite missing out on the main snapper season, I'm still hopeful that the first half of next year should be good.
Great vid Alan congrats on a million views as well. I was shocked when you released that gurnard, i love a few fillets of gurnard, but the spikes are tricky to get around.
Thank you Josh !!! Your 100% right, i just not good at handling or filleting gurnard. My brother in law droped one on his hand once and had to be rushed to hospital.
Nice Video!
Thanks! appreciate it !!
Love the vid mate. You might need to release a fishing mad top 20 songs for fishing. Haven't heard poison nothing but a good time in years. 🤙
LOL 100%. My mate Mark that comes out with me always brings his blue tooth stereo system. He runs the same playlist over and over. Lots of 80s and 90s stuff which probably shows our age
Well done Alan wish I could go fishing with you
Thanks Michael. Im always happy to catch up with locals when i can. What area are you from ?
@@fishingmad I’m from Perth so that’s not going to happen but love how happy you are gonna interact with fans
Thanks !!! Yeah that would be a fair hike LOL
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
can you do a video from St Kilda pier especially for amuaters
Would love too, just been waiting for these travel restrictions to be finished as StKilda is outside of my 15ks.
Nice video Alan👍👍
When was this??
I still can't crack the code for the prefect weather for boating in ppb.
Thanks Ahmad, was on sunday. Such a strange day it was calm, then meter swells then calm then pouring rain. been hard to get it right lately.
Great Video Alan!! where'd you launch from? was at blackrock and snapper were going nuts!! Launched from Werribee south btw.
Yeah we launched near werribee, my boat has a very small fuel capacity so going across the bay can be tricky especially in conditions like that. Black Rock 100% has been the most productive area over the past few weeks. When did you get onto them. Also curious if it was morning or evening as most of the action seems to be in the evening recently.
@@fishingmad was around 4pm...they started trickling in then hit hard!! Letme know if you're interested for a fish in the local area. I'm expecting the delivery of my new fishing kayak in the coming weeks if you're keen also. Cheers mate!
Yeah seems like the snapper have been much more active in the afternoon this season, just a strange observation. Im always keen to get out for a fish, so let us know when you get your new kayak
hey Alan, i recently brought a very similar boat to what you were on in the video. Just wondering what's the maximum wind speed before you would say don't go out for a 4.2m boat?
15-20 k winds would be the max that I would go out in. Prob 10-15 if a southerly breeze. I spend a lot of time studying the forecast when going out. Ideally 5-10k motherly seems to be the best combo.
@@fishingmad Thanks Alan!
Is it legal to fish with three rods at a time in Victoria ?.
Yes 100%. Most snapper boats will have the whole boat loaded up with rods everywhere
@@fishingmad Cheers for the reply, I did google it after posting vfa.vic.gov.au/recreational-fishing/recreational-fishing-guide/fishing-equipment/marine-fishing-equipment but only because I'm inpatient.
No worries. Youll notice many of my videos im often only using 1 soft plastic rod. During snapper season ill generally have an additional big bait or two out for good measure. I do a lot of work jointly with VFA and happy to advocate for people to follow the rules in place.
I’d love to come fishing with you.
no worries, happy to tee something up. Are you local/Melbourne
@@fishingmad yeah mate from western suburbs
Happy to tee something up. Send me a FB friend request and we can chat further on messenger
@@fishingmad done
Where did you fish from
around Werribee for whiting around clifton for squid
@@fishingmad thanks next we go out I’ll try those areas
How do you predict a good day for kayaking! Twice in two weeks i thought i picked good days, but the bay was choppy. Carrum, seaford area. Cheers
Bom website mate 🤙😁
Cheers dyl
