EXPLORING A NEW SYSTEM - How I Find Fish and What I Look For

[@littledevil816]

Hi Mick one Mackay boy to another glad to see you pushing the boat through the shallows,most people don't understand the work it can take in these big tidal creeks. Keep up the good work

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah thanks mate!! it’s all part of the adventure! I’d rather push it through while there’s enough water still than be trapped in a crappy pool!!

[@littledevil816]

Yep been there

[@mylurebox]

That was an awesome session Mick! Great stuff

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks John! Big fan of your work also!! Keep it up 👌🏻

YESSSS. A absolutely loving the channel can’t wait to check this video out. tight lines ❤️❤️

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks for your support man!! ❤️

[@robertwalsh2780]

Awesome vid you always give grate tips in all ya vid's and i agree about the carpet in boats 👍

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate!! Makes me happy that people can take info and ideas from my content 🙏🏼 Oh and yeah carpet sucks

[@zacmackey6079]

Man your intro is sick! been watching your stuff a little while now, really enjoy it bro, thanks.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks bro!! Appreciate the kind words and support man 🙏🏼

Bonza...untouched country how good..

[@chrischerry2787]

I don't mind getting out and lazily pushing the boat down here on the Sunshine Coast. Up where you are, I reckon I could walk on water with those crocs about 😆

[@Micksgonefishing]

Haha yeah but it sure beats being stuck in the shallow hole we would have been trapped in for 6 hours. I’m pretty savvy with the crocs, I only get in if it’s clean and shallow and even then I’m very alert, wouldn’t recommend it to everyone!

[@the_fritch]

yeah c,mon

[@Micksgonefishing]

Croc bait

[@gwizzler]

Nice session bud, real nice!

[@theowenssailingdiary5239]

Show us the runs along the coast too Mick. All part of fun. Pick up my Outlaw in a few days. In Vic. BTW, for reference, we have basically zero idea on half the stuff you are catching. Awesome vidoes-jealous of the fishing you have up there.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate!! You’ll love that boat 👌🏻 I’d like to put more backgrounds and scenic stuff like the coastal runs in, but it can do a lot of harm to the fishery, especially when netters find them.. I try to only let small selected frames of the landscape slip here and there to show some of the nice scenic landscapes I’m fishing amongst! But as I say I’m quite selective and that’s to keep the locations I fish somewhat on the quiet…

[@theowenssailingdiary5239]

@@Micksgonefishing yeah makes sense.

[@Felixsreptiles]

Mick, surely you do a walkaround vid on the boat?

[@Micksgonefishing]

Just been getting it setup but I got a boat reveal coming real soon! It’s a bloody mint setup and loving the ride and the extra room!!

[@Felixsreptiles]

@@Micksgonefishing I noticed the new rig on Instagram looks awesome.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah man I’m loving it!!

[@Luke-bm5du]

Keep the videos coming, love trying to pick where you are fishing. What size leader are you running?

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks man!! 40lb Sunline FC Rock in this clip mate 👌🏻

[@aus2045]

What about really old systems that are highly abused and mostly fished-out like Rockhampton’s Fitzroy River & Port Alma. How do yo find fish in those kinds of places

[@Micksgonefishing]

Those systems have more fish than the ones I’m fishing, persistence is the key and being alert to what’s happening and learning patterns as you go, but yeah you’ll pick up a lot of relevant info from most of my estuary videos that you can put into practice to see what works down there..

[@aus2045]

@@Micksgonefishing thanks, I’ve been trying to catch fish here for 20yrs but no good. Only catfish normally

[@Kiwi_Fruit_Fruit]

cool beard bro

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks brother 💪🏻

[@davidraguse2106]

How did you set your transducer up to get that clear of a picture? Straight edge along bottom of boat? Or spirit level and coin trick?

[@Micksgonefishing]

Just got it setup at a slight angle pointing down at the back. I’ll film it and put it in the boat reveal I’m working on for the new rig 👌🏻

[@davidraguse2106]

@@Micksgonefishing thanks

[@Subarooturbo]

Ha I see your boat has a Yamaha f60 I have one on my boat and love it. I want to put a trolling motor on my 4.9 meter aluminum boat. I have talked to 3 places they advised me to fit a 24v 80lb motor it sounds over kill. What do you think.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah I reckon they’re right you’ll want the 80lb… 55lb would do it but it’ll be slow and chew the batteries…

[@davidraguse2106]

What was the JIG head you were using in the molix jerk shad please?

[@Micksgonefishing]

New BKK Harpax which will be available very soon!

[@tightlineziii9112]

Hey Mick, me and my mates are keen fisherman and we can’t seem to find a lure that calves up in most eastury fish, what would be your suggestion

[@Micksgonefishing]

The one in my last clip bro, not necessarily that color but I’ve had a heap of luck on these Lucky Craft Pointer 78XD. You want the lure to get down hold the rod tip down and crank, you want it to stay shallow, high rod tip and twitch. Hands down my favorite estuary lure for casting!

[@tightlineziii9112]

@@Micksgonefishing yeah rito thanks a lot bro keep the crackin videos going

[@adamcooper5468]

Hey Mick Just wondering what those pliers were They look tough as nails

[@Micksgonefishing]

They were a birthday gift from an old sponsor back in 2012… a Japanese brand named Alex made them but from what I can tell they were a limited run and they don’t make em anymore which is a shame!

[@dayfamilyfishingadventures]

Awesome video, learned a lot! Quick question, Do you prefer spring tides or neap tides? Or something in between? Thanks and keep up the great content!

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate, yeah I like any building tides leading up to the full and new moon. It’s harder the fish but also harder for the fish to feed so when they do bite the action is a bit more intense… but that also makes it easier to miss your windows. For threadfin I like smaller tides as they’re a bit more fickle but for barra and just about everything else I like bigger tides

[@dayfamilyfishingadventures]

@@Micksgonefishing Thanks for that, mate. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Hey. Mate what is That boat.?

Hey if you don’t mind me asking what creek is this
