[@fishingmad]

Thanks and yep 100% its a brilliant spot and a must visit place for fishing

[@alialbadri5062]

Awesome video mate 👏

[@fishingmad]

Thank you

[@jprme7588]

You motivated me to get into fishing more, I've been yellow belly and murray cod fishing in central Victoria

[@fishingmad]

That's awesome, I hope you have been catching a few. Native fishing in Victoria is so good these days

[@coopersfishingadventures]

Cracking video Alan, quality fish there. Do you have a new sponsor with shimano mate? Keep up the good work legend.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks !! I really appreciate the kind feedback and yeah Shimano reached out a few weeks ago keen to work together on some projects, so I'm just testing a whole heap of gear for them at the moment. ill still be covering heaps of different brands and products on the show as that's really important.

[@coopersfishingadventures]

@@fishingmad thats awesome mate, very happy for you to get with a big brand like that. Good work, well deserved

[@fishingmad]

Thanks so much, yeah its been many years of hard work, thousands of hours. Its really humbling now that quite a few of the big brands are keen to get behind the show.

[@paulgenevincent5564]

Well done

[@fishingmad]

Thank you !!

[@Phaetonix.]

Hi there, im up from queensland and im a beginner in bream fishing i have caught a bunch of dusky flatheads but never get many bream got any tips Thanks mate also keep up the great work!

[@fishingmad]

If your getting flathead and no bream then you might be fishing to heavy. Try reducing the leader and the jig head weight.

[@Phaetonix.]

@fishingmad alright mate 4to5 pound braid and a 2500 reel should work? Thanks

[@thomasnardelli2181]

Hey Alan I absolutely love your videos you've gotten me back into fishing, especially with plastics, and I'm now considering getting a kayak, I have a coupple of questions. How do i know what brands are good to get into at a lower price than something like a hobie. And is it worth going for a pedal drive for my first kayak. And my other question is what is that rod you have with the full cork butt the one that has the stradic on it at the start of this video I love the look of it and haven't seen anything like it before. Thanks again mate for the amazing entertaining very well produced content keep up the amazing work

[@fishingmad]

Thanks for the kind words, Buying a kayak can be a tricky thing as there is so much false advertising and generally in the kayak space you get what you pay for. I've owned and used so many different yaks and nothing has come close to the stability and features of the hobies especially the PA and Outbacks. 100% you will want a peddle kayak i hated fishing with kayaks that dont have them as you spend so many time paddling and so much less time fishing. My best advice is wait and save a bit extra and and keep an eye out on 2nd hand hobies on marketplace, ebay and gumtree which often have good yaks at discounted rates. There is heaps more info on this on the fishingmad website and an hour video on buying the right kayak in the fishingmad members area.

[@thomasnardelli2181]

@@fishingmad thanks so much Allen I really appreciate the advice I really appreciate it I'll definitely do that and keep an eye out for a hobie thanks mate

[@endog9324]

Btw im looking for a rod but im on a budget, is abu garcia veritas plx batcasting rod 7” a good pick if i may ask ? Great video as always btw. Youre the one that make me change to use soft plastic, before i always use chicken

[@fishingmad]

Yep abu garcia veritas rods are fine, lots of good cheap option like NS Amped, Atomic Arrowz, Shimano Raiders etc

[@endog9324]

@@fishingmad actually i kinda changed my mind, i check your website and found the daiwa td 23 commander is soooo beautifull, but it cost waaay more. Is it worth the price tho ? Thankyou so much for replying !

[@endog9324]

@@fishingmad and too bad i just moved out from melbourn, i live at dubbo for a while, theres no way to do saltwater fishing around here

[@SaMaNtHa.2023]

Guess what, Alan? I caught my very first salmon trout on a soft plastic grub. I still don't know how to work with the rod properly because it's like 7 ft and I'm only like 5 something. Got a good question and I really need the help I'm a right-hander should I have spinner handle on my right or my left like I don't know which hand I'm supposed to use to pull the rod up and spin with because I'm a right hand?

[@fishingmad]

Thats fantastic, well done. Hopefully first of many. Regarding which hand to hold the rod and which hand to reel, many people will argue different opinions here. I would say go with what ever makes you feel most comfortable. Ideally not needing to swap hands once casted

[@Johnny_835]

What miller rod is that

[@fishingmad]

Twitch Freak LT an amazing rod.

[@KaneMckeown-or7pt]

Could you do a video chasing estuary perch at inverloch? They have been pretty tuff on me and wondering if it’s the way I am fishing?

[@fishingmad]

I'm heading to a spot similar to Inverloch tomorrow to chase EP,s so hopefully i can get some helpful content covering that. A trip to Inverloch is prob overdue so will have to make an effort to get there soon.

[@Narrahd]

Where I an from there is a man that takes flathead over 1mtr 😡 next time I see him do it im going yo report him!
