Hey Luke, Handy cooking tip for baking whole fish..... Wrap it in baking paper then foil. Prevents it sticking and presents so much better.... Great fish by the way

Hot tip for when bleeding your fish brother, before you cut the gills brain spike the fish. Best way to do it and much better on the mental. Great vid as always ❤

That would have to be one of the best vids yet. When you hooked that Jack and went in reverse I’m yelling “ nooooo” Then you hook the next one and jump up on your seat squealing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’ll get those muddies soon bud. The cooking of the Jack looked absolutely amazing. Oh yeah the stupidest thing I do in my boat is I always find the sand banks while motoring along and beach myself😂😂😂

Luke, if you had a lot of rain in the area, the crabs will go into deeper water to get away from the fresh water which is on the top.

[@shuheilawson1433]

Hey Luke- catch and cook sashimi please!!! great videos :)

[@callumwalker5794]

Hey mate, love ya videos. I’m local to the area and when I was runnings pots I found reef species for bait didn’t have much luck, my best bait I used were catfish. Got a buck every time although sometimes they were empty. I also found running pots daily was better, I’d run my pots, and then trawl for a while, pull up in the inlet somewhere breezy and watch some Netflix or KZbin to kill some time if the fishing was slow, then run back and check the pots systematically, only time I lost pots was when I left them over night. Also taking someone who doesn’t eat crabs might help so you can double the amount of pots. I’m allergic unfortunately and use to just give the crabs I caught to family and friends. Cheers mate look forward to your next video 👌

[@lukefalzon]

good Idea thank you for the heads up bro I will try that next time 👍🏽 how you been mate?

[@callumwalker5794]

@@lukefalzon Yeah too easy bruss, and yeah been really good, started the year off decent, heading out for a land based fish tonight. Hopefully put something in the esky for a feed. How about yourself? Weather isn’t kicking your ass too much haha?

[@D-GAF]

Hey dude cairns gets crabbed hard. My advice is to soak them over night. Use chicken frames for bait and if it’s been raining put your pots In deeper hole’s throughout the creek system or out on the flats opposite the pier where their will be more salty water. Bigger tides go well also

[@lukefalzon]

thank you for the heads up my brother means a lot 😊 and I will keep that in mind my friend 😊 next time ill try it

[@zackcedric9206]

Hey brother loved the episode, you should do more lure with hand line episodes

[@jaigaming7431]

Love ur vids mate! ❤

[@lukefalzon]

thank you brother 😊

[@ashkim7963]

ok luke here is the gamble your doing everything right but your just now winning the loto. you have two choices, one put the pots in the creek your in I'm suspecting fire wood or the one on the island in the middle of the inlet and get nothing at all orrr you could find a honny hole full of bucks and gennes. second option is put the pots at the front of hills creek on the side closest to the ocean about 500m near the trees that aren't mangrove and have a big base . you can catch lots of mudcrabs there I've bought monster bucks and some smaller ones and you can also catch blue swimmers ass well, buuuut the down side to this is its likely to get croced (a croc trashing your pot).also bait I recommend is ether tuna or mahi mahi or some oily fish from the little fish shop (blue one with white stripes) they sell carb pot bait for 3 bucks a bag. hope this helps you catch one, but its not my fault or responsibility if you lose a pot. also put the pot in in the late arvo then pick up early morning so none cheks you pot.

[@lukefalzon]

cheers for the heads up my brother I will keep and of course I won't brother thats fishing man, where you from?

[@JaidenSimonsen-hs3dg]

First video I’ve seen of yours bro and love the passion and energy keep going bruz you’ll get it 💯 as for tips try changing your bait bro the best bait is those from the creek mullet on top from the castanet and then your cod/jack frames I tend to find ocean fish especially really fishey fish like tuna/mackerel don’t do to well but your reef fish frames and tides and moons can also work a treat good luck bro I’ll keep Tuning in for sure 💪🏽💪🏽

[@jeffreyflynn2805]

I’ve always put the pots in deeper holes or right down near the mouth after heavy rain. Fresh water floats on salt water so they go deeper to avoid the fresh
