[@spikesfishing]

Thanks Rick. I have a few more videos coming soon, really making an effort to capture more of my adventures for everyone to be a part of. 💪🏽

I fish lake mac up Newcastle way out of a boat and slay the jewys and flathead, bream etc. My father has recently moved to Brighton le sands and we have been a couple times fishing off the bank into botany bay when i visit but do terrible everytime... Great vid with drama & excitement 👌🐟🐟🐟

[@spikesfishing]

Hey Christo glad you enjoyed it. I would like to visit Lake Mac one day with the boat for a fish. Soon I hope. Happy fishing ♥️

[@raybuttigieg1343]

That Sunday was a cracking day. We had a great session bagging out on the flatties off Maroubra. We pulled into Congwong for some lunch just as you were leaving.

[@spikesfishing]

Well done! I haven’t been offshore for ages and should probably go for hunt soon.

[@cosimo4001]

Hi Mel Great day I'm learning a lot watching you but I don't have the same luck as you in Botany bay, it would be great to run into you at Botany and learn more about the Sounder

[@bradleyj4554]

That bream is a hen full of eggs, well done Spikes for letting her go. more fish for the future!!

[@spikesfishing]

Yeah thanks for confirming, I’m getting better at picking the egg filled girls. Nothing better than watching them swim away with another chance at life ♥️

[@wasntPete]

Another good video Mel, some nice fish landed and some very useful tips, thank you.

[@spikesfishing]

Thanks Pete it was a cracker session and glad I got to share it ♥️

[@KK-gj9ds]

Good sesh, Spikes! The sea provides!

[@spikesfishing]

Thank you KK 😍

[@knittingchamp]

One of your best Mel !😊

[@spikesfishing]

Thanks Roddy! Was a bit hesitant to post such a long one but there was a lot of action and wanted to try show the entire day rather than just the fish. Appreciate the feedback hey ☺️

[@johnwalker6420]

Great VID Mel... Thoroughly enjoyed your commentary and detail on how you fish... There was a lot to learn from it ... Nothing beats a midweek fish. Much more relaxing and stress free. Hope you did not get too cooked in that sun. HAPPY DAYS...

[@spikesfishing]

Thanks John it was an epic session and actually on a Saturday! Surprised there wasn’t many boats about too

[@LabworksVapes]

Good to see you on the water again Mel - "Half a Pilly for the win"

[@spikesfishing]

#halfpilly all the way 💪🏽🔥

[@andreas1161]

I loved this video, Mel. Thank you so much for sharing your tips on Botany Bay. I'm not a local (my closest ramp is Mooney Mooney, actually!) but I am going to head down your way now more often to check it out. Your videos have given me so much good info, which, as someone pretty new to fishing, I really appreciate. 🙌

[@spikesfishing]

That’s awesome Andreas I hope you come down and have a good time 😍 I really need to get onto the Hawksbury one day too!

[@apalmer405]

Thanks for the Vids, just moved to the area and started fishing the bay, great info.👍

[@spikesfishing]

Thanks for watching Andrew. The bay is a truly epic water system when you get the hang of it. Best of luck out there 😍

[@Fevzi_07]

Great session. Beautiful boat. Thanks for sharing.

[@spikesfishing]

No problem and thanks for enjoying it. That boat is my baby ♥️

[@akamikesfishing]

Yeah fishing really helps when ur down nice vid I really enjoyed it ;)

[@spikesfishing]

Thanks Mike I like your TikTok videos 😂

[@wazzabraiding9330]

Next month’s crab comp will make mess in the boat pretty quick Mel. Nice bream - hope you took some pics as that’s the fish off the month. Cheers mate cya soon!

[@spikesfishing]

You are not wrong Waz, I’m keen as to give crabbing another crack 🦀

[@martingray8350]

Another great video thanks for sharing If I had somewhere to park a boat I’d definitely get one similar to your one seems just the perfect set up for what I’d fish for too. 👍🏽😊

[@spikesfishing]

Thanks Martin. It’s an epic boat hey. Very comfortable and capable for inshore and offshore. Very pleased with it

[@chilliburn1]

Total enjoyed this vid. I must get back to fishing the bay. I must admit it did get me a little excited 😉

[@spikesfishing]

Let’s goooo

You should do stand up. Love it

[@spikesfishing]

😂 I don’t see the comedy but apparently it’s very much there 🎤

[@ericpeacock100]

Which boat ramp are you launching from? Cheers

[@spikesfishing]

Kyeemagh Boat Ramp

[@Digital1Photography]

Hi Mel I take my daughter out fishing all the time and we struggle to find fish mostly it would be great if you can give us some depth sounder tips or fish finder tips and what to look for on the screen. Do you only fish when the screen looks good?

[@spikesfishing]

Hey mate. Typically I look for structure and bait. I have a video somewhere on here showing how I sound up before I pick my spot to fish. Give this a watch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHjKg2Znbsmsg8U

[@adzoutnabout888]

Hope your alright mate, you said you were crook. Top bag of fish from the bay 😎

[@spikesfishing]

I’m getting better slowly thanks for asking ♥️

[@kman4310]

Good informative video. I picked the wrong river this day lol.

[@spikesfishing]

Give it a go K Man. It’s a very productive system when it wants to be 👍🏽

[@JMRocstuntdevils]

Great vid, i’ve got a question, How come you decided to move when you hooked the little pinky, is that a sign that you’re not going to get any desirable species?

[@spikesfishing]

Thanks Mitch. Yeah usually when I get a baby snapper it usually means there is a big school around and I like to move away from the area and settle on a spot when a decent fish comes up.

[@터키어-x6l]

Hi mel , please more videos on youtube 🙋‍♂️

[@spikesfishing]

I’m trying ♥️

[@터키어-x6l]

@@spikesfishing less on Facebook more on youtube please

[@chihuahua6824]

Another great Video Just wondering what is in the Burley Pot??

[@spikesfishing]

Thanks so much! If I use burley it would be those red bullets from Fish on Bait and Burley. Before I used these I used chicken pellets marinated in tuna oil.

[@chihuahua6824]

@@spikesfishing Many thanks. Really love your videos

[@spikesfishing]

Thank you 😊

[@JT-jy2sy]

What is the boat ramp ?

[@spikesfishing]

That’s St George Sutherland Shire Anglers Club ramp in Taren Point

[@giulio5691]

Hi, where is this boat ramp?

[@spikesfishing]

Hey this is at Taren Point. It’s a private boat ramp for members of the St George Sutherland Shire Anglers Club

[@imranhassan8842]

How much does it cost for the membership?

[@spikesfishing]

I’m not actually sure I think it’s like $250 a year

[@j.s.e4243]

Hey there, what's the make & model of your boat?

[@spikesfishing]

Hey it’s a Haines Signature 543SF side Console 2020 model - I have a little video on here showing the boat if you want to check it out

[@K120873]

Nice work Mel. Where do you get those green sinkers from? (brand?)

[@spikesfishing]

Hey Kosta. I could tell you the brand because I honestly can’t remember but I buy them from Fishing Station online. Search their site for glow bead sinker and you will find them 👍🏽

[@K120873]

@@spikesfishing Thank you Mel. Legend. Keep up the great work. Love your vids.

[@Moh-lh6yw]

@@spikesfishing how much gram sinker do u use thanks.

[@spikesfishing]

3.5g up to 14g inshore. Outside I got up to 1.5 ounce

[@nomegold1]

Dem poor fish are no match for SlayQueen!🙂❤

[@spikesfishing]

My king 🤴🏽

[@AlexanderTheGrateful]

I prefer a dirty boat that gets used rather than a clean boat that sits in the shed..

[@NormEter]

There is no secret way to catch fish they are either biting or not
