G'day Everyone, I just wanted to let you know from James and me that we appreciate your encouragement, words of wisdom, tips in the comments section and support! Cheers :)

Looks like a good family day of out and even your wife made an appearance..😂

[@iainhetherington4608]

You hit the nail on the head Mark it’s the unknown and things you see that draw you back time and time again ,I’ve been sea fishing for 40 yrs as I imagine many have , and still get surprised by the weird and wonderful stuff you see and catch Great stuff Cheers from down south

[@selfsuffishingme]

Thanks Iain! Cheers mate :)

Right on mark, when you play golf, you get 18holes everytime, when you go fishing you flat out never know what you’ll get, you can slay em one day and show up and the same time and spot the next day and they are not on the chew. Frustrating at times for sure, but the more you do it the better you’ll get at it. A islander mate who captained long line vessels I told me when I started fishing from a boat to keep log books of all your trips, what worked and what didn’t, record all your catches, tides moon phase weather etc, and it will help you to see patterns, catch more fish and be a better fisherman. It’s been great advice, helps me know now many kg of fish I catch in a year too.

[@slezy-1983]

And yup, changing drag while fish is running is a normal mistake, its risky even touching it, he definitely cranked it too much too

[@EndlessWeekendlife]

Beautiful boat and such a great place to take it. You'll never know if you never go.. Or as my mate will say every time, can't catch fish from the couch. 😂😂

[@benmcardle5862]

Nice little trip. My only tip, stop bringing the swivels through the top of the rod. It can damage the guide pretty bad

[@adammcgeorge3538]

Nice work on the cobes gang! Ladies are good luck on the boat too Mark!

[@troyrowy6709]

Bend the barbs in on the hooks on the bait jigs, makes it quicker to get them off

[@Coffeebrakn-ds7pz]

Good to see you got the boat out again after the contamination incident.

[@jeffchaffee1235]

Another one for the history book, Great video. Thank you

[@Vanjonsorz]

Well done All. Mark, make sure that vhf aerial is upright before leaving the shore 😉

[@slezy-1983]

Good job getting the live bait on the sabiki! Very important for some good fishing

[@jejoko]

That's a good catch Mark! Cobia for dinner. They taste great!

[@mathiass8656]

That's the beauty if sea fishing (and fishing in general), Mark. We never know what is hooked. Maybe a surprise is at the end. Love the videos, very stoked that you made a fishing channel, which is laid back and shows that not all trips are good either. Keep up the wonderful content :)

[@user-qz7lw9yq8w]

Amazing video love ❤️ heaps 😂thank you go tigers 🐅

[@peterquinn8419]

Not brutal at all. I love your spike and also the fact that you do genuinely care about dispatching the fish as painlessly as possible. This actually makes a huge difference to me as to whether I would continue to watch or not. Respect your prey and its environment and they will be there the next time

[@nathanielarmour2715]

Way to go!!!! You guys have me feeling the itch to get out there

[@JK-eu1du]

Great video Mark and I'm happy that y'all are living your best life out on the sea!!

[@willkitching]

Brilliant stuff guys! That was an awesome fight with the cobia, escaping sharks and running right around the boat. That is the perfect eating size! 👌 It was cool that you guessed that they were cobia on the sounder too. As you said at the end, the more time you’re spending out on the water, the more you’re learning and the more success you’re having, it’s seriously awesome to see! 😁👍 Tight lines guys 🎣

[@RoyHolder]

Thanks Mark! 🐟🐟🐠🐡

[@andrewporfyri559]

Hey Mark,looks like your fishing is just as good as your gardening 😀

[@vman4220]

Good to see you out on the water mate.

[@DigitHomesteading]

Great catch!

[@georgetuider654]

Greetings from north Florida! Looks like you had a great day. You just made mine better.

[@selfsuffishingme]

G'day George! I'd love to go fishing in your part of the world also from the vids I see. Cheers :)

[@waynemee8920]

Noice! I get frustrated with the reliability of bait around there and have basically given up. Thanks for the confidence to give that another crack.

[@ervinmiracle]

I used to work in outdoor television. Fishing was always the most difficult thing to film. What people really want to see is the hook up and then the entire fight. So, you've got to keep your cameras rolling the entire day and you go through batteries like crazy. Maybe consider GoPros (or similar) on all of you. You'll have a much better chance of catching the hook up and getting the entire fight on camera. Great job though! I'm jealous!

[@bryanpaynechefbrybry1067]

Great to see Mark... Nice catch by the young fella.. really hope that you all enjoyed the sashimi.. Not sure if you watch Outer lines Adventures.. great couple who live and fish around Moton bay as well... thought might give you guys a few pointers to help you on your self suffishing life style.. Thanks heaps for sharing. Cheers buddy..

[@sheckb1]

Hi, awesome video mate. Would you be able to say what beacon that was? Or would any beacon be the same? Heading out to mud Island soon.

[@rohantherockwiththerocketh7871]

Some nice fish for the BBQ. Have a ripper mate!

[@geoffbrumpton8544]

Did you get a water separator on your fuel line yet ?

[@selfsuffishingme]

Yes, we're monitoring it and so far no more water needs to be drained off. Cheers :)

[@pollenhead]

Did you grill, smoke or broil it? Cobia is delish.

[@joetheox1202]

Are the rods set up for a group of lefties? Or is the shot inverted?

[@garulusglandarius6126]

You say brutal Mark but an instant death is far better than letting a fish suffocate out of water ( a long slow death ) good job 👍🇦🇺🇬🇧
