[@BacktoBasics]

Awesome mate, could watch this all day!

[@gregswickedfishing]

Cheers mate I appreciate it. Yep I could too mate. Absolutely love it :-)

[@mattgross4004]

Awesome mate. Those cod have such character. The Guardians of the wreck.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks Matt and I agree mate. They really are and I love seeing them on spots.

[@JadeClelland-bd4jm]

Never get tired of watching your under water footage. I fish the bay quite a lot myself amazed by all the wrecks you've found

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate I love filming it. It's takes up so much time but it's worth it when you get some cool footage

[@v19c]

Great footage! Awesome to see.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it. Cheers

[@rollyb5061]

awesome Greg, the amount of Cod living around that wreck great to see

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate. How good is it seeing so many cod around it. Love it

[@robwilson5620]

That is Pretty Cool ,,, quite amazing

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you liked it

[@Matt.D81]

Great vid mate, awesome to see so much life around the wreck and the variety was a great sign the fishery is thriving 👌

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree mate, its a great sign and I will continue to go back and film it without the need or want to fish it.

Thanks for the support. cheers

[@chalkss]

That many cod, its never been fished. Awesome spot mate, fingers crossed no one ever finds it

[@gregswickedfishing]

Cheers mate, yes I hope it stays like that for a long time.

[@georgedrager-bluewaterdreamer]

Loved the big cods and fish life A great reward for your efforts 😊

[@clintkane5906]

Great video. Cool footage

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed. Cheers

[@WhiplashFishing78]

Great video Greg. An amazing variety of fish life there with tuskfish, Moses perch, hussar and Maori Cod etc. The number of gold spot estuary cod on that wreck suggest that spot has rarely (if ever) been fished. Well done 👍🏽

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate. Yeah I hope it remains like that for many years to come mate. Love it

[@robertvictor5012]

Great footage Greg. The fish life was extraordinary and with so many cod on the wreck it certainly doesn’t get fished much if at all otherwise they are the first to go from what I’ve seen.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes I'd agree with you there mate. Cheers

[@craigparker4108]

As much as i luv fishing i hope nobody ever fishes this little spot. Great find & footage, thanks m8.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate and yes I feel very much the same. Hopefully it remains the same for a long time to come.

[@dayneostergaard4045]

Awesome video mate. Really interesting the things you do.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks legend much appreciated mate. Hope you're well and living the dream mate.

[@markbrown4521]

Mint footage mate! Subbed

[@gregswickedfishing]

legend thanks mate appreciate the support.

[@baydiver5855]

Amazing effort to find and film Greg ! Interesting to see the change in fish life after a weather event and it gets me thinking about the distances they travel, why and do they sense structures or happen to come across it? Look forward to more.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate it's much appreciated. I found that very fascinating as well and it blows me away that they can find a small bit of structure like that in the middle of no where. So cool.

[@dillberry99]

so awesome, great video

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you liked it. Cheers

[@tropicrows]

Another great video, Greg. The amount of life on and around the wreck is good to see, those tusk fish and cod are a decent size.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks Bruce much appreciated mate.

[@AttitudeAdjuster]

Wow, that is seriously addictive, I must admit that line Cam made me sea sick at the computer LOL but that drone is the business. How long have you had it and been flying it or is it not flying under water? Thanks so much for opening up about that experience and it does make you wonder in 50 meters of water what sunk it and as you say was there loss of life. My Best mate and I fished a wreck off Cape Moreton for about a decade and a half until the divers finally found it. Those are the things that life's memories are made of. Cheers Garry

[@gregswickedfishing]

I've had the drone for a few years now and I'm addicted to using it and seeing what I can film. Takes a big of getting use to and you need the right conditions to use it but when all the stars align the footage is epic. That's a bugger about the wreck mate. I can only hope no one finds this one and leaves it alone.

[@AttitudeAdjuster]

@@gregswickedfishing I think that surprisingly wrecks like yours are a bitch to hold on, and usually you are not actually holding onto the wreck itself. We fished that wreck for 15 years altogether and he had fished it for 10 years before that and the fish that came off that thing were amazing and never-ending. But like your wreck its so small that if you did get in the right spot now one could actually see what you were fishing and we would stop fishing. But we got there after dark and left at daylight with a really nice feed. The thing I think is so much of the fishing was species that would swim through so you were not catching resident Cod and never all of one species. He was a old school master fisherman that ate all of what he caught for his family so he only ever took the ones he wanted to eat and being shallow everything swam away because we never ever got molested by sharks which is interesting now I think about it. And I say Master Fisherman I am not talking pro, but super skilled so it may take 3 times to anchor and if you did not get it right you were off the spot and got nothing so other people even if they ran over it just wouldn't get set right being sand all around a tiny thing like yours and it means most just can't get it right. Having said all of that, it was a sad sad day to see it lost and I hope that yours is saved because they are amazing sites for all the species to congregate and eat and breed. I look forward to much more footage when your stars are all aligned. Cheers Garry

[@nevanalthaus2387]

Awesome video Pretty cool to see be interested in seeing more videos like this

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it. More underwater footage coming soon mate.

[@bryanrocke6243]

Cool vid mate! Keep it going

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate much appreciated.

[@scottyzfishing5660]

How good are those drones Greg way better that my drift camera that's for sure, this would have to put you into the 20s or close to for wreck finds now yeah ? Love ya work mate keep it up 👌🎣👍

[@gregswickedfishing]

Mate the drone has been fantastic and speeds the process up of looking at spots so much quicker. Yeah it would mate and I keep finding them the more time I keep looking. Love it. Cheers mate

[@firstlightflicks]

Those grouper look so aggressive towards the drone haha

[@gregswickedfishing]

haha yes they don't like it one little bit lol

[@BrettLipscombe]

Excellent job well done

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate

[@peppipoohductionswakashunt3157]

Absolutely incredible mate, with all those cod it’s safe to say no one has dropped a line on it, in my opinion anyway

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps mate and yes its a great sign that it doesn't get fished very often or at all. Hopefully no one ever does.

[@peppipoohductionswakashunt3157]

@@gregswickedfishing hope so mate, I’d find it really hard to fish a place like that after seeing everything that way, you’d just want it to stay the way it is.

[@The_Fluid_Druid]

I've dived locations that are very heavily fished and are covered in cod (just as many as in this video). Big and small. I spearfish, but only very rarely target estuary cod.

[@peppipoohductionswakashunt3157]

@@The_Fluid_Druid there you go, I wouldn’t expect that.

[@reillyboyd5141]

@@The_Fluid_Druidyep. I got a spot of a commercial bloke that used to fish for cod and it was covered in them still and tuskfish, small reds, brown Maori, blue Maori, and trout. All only in 12m

[@tonywiseman7542]

maybe some trawl wires and boards in a flat bottom area, maybe explore past sunken trawlers?

[@gregswickedfishing]

Mate i've explored every possible avenue and come up empty handed. I had an experienced trawlerman look at it and he doesn't believe it's a trawler.

[@rainbowfishing2325]

Great footage Greg.. I reckon I came across a couple over the years up Fraser way, but have never put a camera down..If your ever up this way you can have Lat & Long..

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hey mate thanks heaps much appreciated. Oh true, mate I 'd love to have a look if I'm passing through the area. I can normally tell pretty quickly by looking the sounder image. Cheers

[@NHL4740]

Hey Greg, Do you have a clip on settings for furuno fcv588 with a p66? Cheers btw awesome video

[@gregswickedfishing]

Cheers mate. No sorry mate I don't. Jump on the facebook furuno fanatics page and there's plenty of good info on there.

[@mhfishing.]

Really loved the rhythm and flow to this video Greg. What model is your drone?

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you liked it. Its a Fifish v6 drone mate.

[@furunoza]

Awesome vid Greg, would love to see how the DFF3D showed up (Dave M)

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps Dave. It doesn't show a great deal on the DFF3D due to the small size of it. Selecting a manual depth/colour range of 5 mtrs between the upper and lower depth did show a small rise but only minor. Hope you're well mate.

[@Ali-xt7lo]

Amazing footage, if possible could you drop me some coordinates to waters that are 50 metres or more within Moreton bay. I’m new to the area and I’m not too sure about the deeper areas. Cheers mate

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate. You won't find waters deeper than 25 to 30 mtrs in moreton bay mate. need to head offshore for that. Cheers

[@Kabir9861]

Super cool, no such thing as too many artificial reefs

[@gregswickedfishing]

Cheers mate much appreciated. yes it does make you wonder hey.

[@The_Fluid_Druid]

Very cool. Be very careful with who gets those coordinates! Having said that, if you do need someone to hold a camera...

[@gregswickedfishing]

haha thanks mate. Yeah I hate to see it smashed.

[@mavenfpv7843]

Great video! Do u scuba dive? Sounds like you definitely love the underwater world! 👌🏼

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate. I don't mate but i have a big interest in underwater filming. I could do it all day long and find it hugely interesting.

[@ltsmash781]

Cod on guard like junkyard dogs

[@gregswickedfishing]

haha yep spot on mate :-)

[@JP-cy4uk]

Would there be spots like this inside the bay too do you think? How do you go about a starting point for your search?

[@gregswickedfishing]

There's lots of wrecks in the bay but there very prone to over fishing. I've found heaps of them by putting in a massive amount of hours just sounding set out areas.

[@JP-cy4uk]

@@gregswickedfishing so you have found some wrecks that aren’t known/overfished?

[@ryanhill4091]

My great grandfather along with 11 other men from Ipswich went missing off Moreton in 1939. The boat, mv Nerita, was never found after an extensive land, air and sea search which carried on for a long time, failed to deliver findings.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hi Ryan, Sorry to hear about your grandfather mate. Sad story and unfortunately its one of many tragic boating accidents from back then.

[@Sugars36]

Pretty epic.....

[@gregswickedfishing]

Cheers mate

[@waynelawson2132]

Great vid mate well deserved payoff for the hours you obviously put in. Do you report your finds to the authorities in an attempt to find out some details if your find ?

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps mate. I spend a lot of time and go to great lengths to try work out the details of unknown wrecks. This one remains a mystery.
