3 DAYS OFF 1770 | The Full Experience.

Lets start off with a massive LANGUAGE WARNING for this video, I wanted to make something a little different to my normal style and it would have been a massive amount of bleeping for a full length edit. I'm onboard a commercial line fishing vessel run by Mat Hubbard and his company Prestige Fishing that supplies fresh line caught fish to restaurants in Queensland. His mate Mark Owen and I are a couple of greenhorn deckhands soaking baits and filling eskys. There are a stack of fish and laughs mixed with crazy storms and wet swags over what is a massively insane three days of fishing in the waters off 1770.

Hey mate, as a chef this video really hit home. I go out of my way to source all my ingredients from local and sustainable sources. I will defiantly be looking these guys up!

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah definitely mate, he gets some quality product.

[@dexysfishing1362]

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

[@4x4andfishing]

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Was cool to feel the old stretch in some mono again.

[@brentlivingstone3732]

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

[@CamBill_ROBLOX]

Good one mate, great video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Cheers mate.

[@smithysfishing]

Good vid! Go the mighty $50 Chinese made Spinfishers!

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Did the job though, I said next time I go I’m spooling the Stella with mono 🤣

[@johnciancio3204]

Great vid man👌Gives other fisho’s a different look at life as a pro-fisherman. Most trips just cover costs & put very little in their pockets but on the odd occasion they do have great money making trips. I do very much miss pro-fishing😢 Thank you for putting this video together as I believe vids like these are important👌 Luv it Liam👊

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Cheers for the support mate.

[@Tyson_Mc]

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

[@Tyson_Mc]

[@anthonycox1870]

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Cheers bloke.

[@darrencookfishing7961]

Too funny I'm getting me a Fenn pinfisher rort now!!!

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Ha ha you get it, I don’t take myself too seriously mate so know one else should either 🤣

[@steveferrie6396]

Great show. Is the guy named Matt Hubbard the same guy that used to have a Charter boat. ?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah I think so mate. We got into this after catching up at a Fisheries Workshop where he was representing Commercial Line Fishers and myself representing Recreational Anglers. I got an invite and figured if I’m going to be fully involved in Fisheries Management I should understand every aspect of it. Still hoping to get an invite out running a few nets to see how that fishery operates.

[@hitmissfishing6552]

Hell yeah how good are cruisecraft love my 575 Explorer what model is that one? Never seen one as a Commercial boat tho

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Safest trailer boat out there so I’m told. Not sure what model it is, 7m something I’m pretty sure.

[@hitmissfishing6552]

@@LiamFitzpatrick they sure are mate never had a drama and mines 12 years old

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

It’s Bill Corten’s old boat he did the bar crossing courses out of.

[@smithysfishing]

Yep Bills old Reel Affair, 685.

[@matthewcollas1404]

I wish I had a boat that size. Stuck with a 1984 haines 4.6m tinnie so can't fish that far out off 1770

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

I wish I had a boat.

[@smithysfishing]

Started fishing the area in a 3.7m Edgetracker. Launch in Middle Ck, camp at Pancake Ck and fish all the rocks and reefs in front of Bustard Head. Off 1770 itself, lots of ground out to 10nm.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah we used to do trips like that up there mate.

[@tonyfloro3014]

Ive always wanted do a round on a trawler but this absolutely shits on that idea. Fishing & getting paid no stress for sponsorship,KZbin or IG revenue to pay the bills. We're do i sign up..

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah it’s not a bad way to spend a few days mate.
