Fishing the Sooty World Championship

Last weekend I went for a run up to annual World Sooty Championship held at Eungella Dam. This is one of my favorite comps and it’s been a few years since being able to attend so I was a bit excited to get back up there to chase a few sootys! The comp for me was full of fails but I did come away 16th which is a pretty good finish despite the circumstances. I blew up my prop which damaged my gearbox, and had a brag mat malfunction which cost me dearly but overall it was an epic weekend with a good crew of competitors!
Enjoy ✌🏻

[@greenmachine3696]

[@Micksgonefishing]

Haha yeah! Old Keegan, he was sending it! I blew my gearbox on that stump I hit when he went past

[@greenmachine3696]

@@Micksgonefishing Awe man that's a dampener on the sesh sorry to hear that, was hoping it was just ya prop a bit bent up.

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

Yeow!! Love the sooty fishing mate. Hey is there anywhere in Australia that sell Dobyns shirts? Cheers Mick 👍🏻🎣

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate, yeah hit up ya local Dobyns dealer, from what I know there are limited tees but plenty of hooded jerseys..

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

@@Micksgonefishing Ah yep the hooded jersey is what I'm chasing but can't find them anywhere. I'll keep looking and hopefully find one in Australia. Cheers Bungee 👍🏻🎣

[@adammfishing]

Yeeew, as said before... best content on YT.. How do you rate the gopro neck mount? Obviously it works... is it better feeling than chest mount?? Keep smashing it

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks man!! Yeah it’s good hey, I liked the chesty but when it’s hot up here it’s too restrictive and blocks airflow….

[@downunderfulla6001]

I did a prop like that years ago way over the back of lake monduran at Emerald🍺🍺

[@Micksgonefishing]

Haha yeah I just bought that new prop, not even 2 hours on it 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Smashtistic]

I know that pain, I dinged the bottom of my skeg on my new 60 merc, hasn't even had it's 3 month service yet.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Ouch man 😢

[@swanrod]

Well done, Cheers

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate!!

[@jw-bt3nc]

Hectic tinny race. Anyone remember which vid micksgonefishing talks about his tackle boxes?

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah it’s crazy if you’re at the front in a slower boat 😂 It’s about 18 videos back, I start the video testing out my new light setup..

[@zac1837]

Are you doing it again this year

[@WhiteGhost21]

missed measuring your willy too on that first fish

[@Micksgonefishing]

Hahaha yeah 25cm 😅😂

[@AussieRic]

i fished there for 10hrs, got 1 tiny fish....never going back there again

[@Micksgonefishing]

Haha yeah it can be tough up there but when they turn it on it’s awesome fun!

[@fisherman5517]

[@Micksgonefishing]

They make good fish habitat 👌🏻
