I stumbled across the stranded on the island video yesterday and I have been stuck watching this channel since. I’ve binged out so hard. Thanks for the content bro 😎

[@choppadog5437]

1 hour of my favourite youtuber absolutely frothing Happy birthday

[@Briggsy]

Cheers Mate 🤙

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

1hr... *makes popcorn* lets goooooo!

[@charlienoble8174]

Anyone else notice the “Beagle” reference from the old morning tide films!?!🤣

[@bigtaydog7104]

Ye ye

[@nholz9783]

You should get a little net for the yak just to make it easier for you to land them

[@eddiechin4773]

Felt like l am the third person on the yak following every que on what to do during the trip. Totally enjoyable and relatable. Hope you have a chance to take a trip around the reef in future.

[@kikys8334]

Happy birthday Briggs'y 🎉🎊✨

[@hazza196]

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a 1hr long upload! Such a relaxing video to watch and enjoy man, keep up the awesome content Briggsy!

[@ShadowAussie]

I couldn't believe my eyes when I watched him throw the bit of fishing line in the water..WTF is wrong with you people? Unsubscribed

[@threebeds5470]

I don’t think Briggsy would ever intentionally litter any water way… one of the most thoughtful and respectful fishermen on KZbin. At what point did you see him do that exactly…?

[@RocketsFishingAdventures]

Welcome to the world of kayak fishing Briggsy! It opens up so many options that you can't access land based (or sometimes even in a boat) Some things that I would recommend you add to the kit as you get yourself set up: A landing net, a stakeout pole or small anchor and a length of rope to help you drag the yak or tie it off. Also, a PFD because accidents happen and it's better to have it on and not need it, than to need it and not have it on. 😎

[@kieranrogers7779]

I've never seen someone rinse fresh fillets in goon but kudos for bringing a cheeky goon bag on the yak.

[@Briggsy]

Hahah it's a water bag, comes in a blue box from woolies!

[@paulw9293]

One of your best yet Briggsy! Really nice day, the yak, the companionship & affection you guys share is super special. The fishing was next level, just shows we don't need huuuge fish being caught - the scenery, the fishing & the meal was epic. 🤙🎣✌

[@danielcunningham9283]

also, especially in spring which we have just entered their will usually be alot of smaller males 30-40cm sitting with one big breeder female 60+ so if you catch lots of little ones make sure your keep peppering it

[@davidevans3884]

If you bring the yak up here to the Whitsundays you get sweetlip and coral trout on the same gear after a 2 minute paddle.

[@braithe__841]

Whitsundays has mad fishing

[@edwinjonkman]

Can't wait for episode 2: "The return of the cook and the flatty slayer," LOL Nice fishing and beautyful river!

[@patrickrichardson724]

mint vid, crazy healthy estuaries, tons of baby flatties and big ones too what a cool adventure with the missus

[@ChappoCrothers]

That's some crazy heavy leader for estuary fishing, something in the 6-10lb would be sufficient and get you casting a 1/16 much easier.

[@apexhd7716]

Not here to fuck spiders

[@ChappoCrothers]

@@apexhd7716 my bad. I thought you were.

[@ollysfishing4231]

@@ChappoCrothers im hearing ya, way to heavy

[@landangler]

Great video Briggsy, you need a sponsor to send you a filleting knife, get Daiwa on it. An old face washer is also handy when you are grabbing the flathead, otherwise you will end up with hands like very sore pin cushions

[@conalcassidy5026]

The underwater shots are breathtaking

[@idratherbeoutdoors715]

My wife bought me a yak a year ago which is the best present for a fisher person. We will be moving to the water in three weeks so I’m keep to see if I can catch as many flathead as Oka. She put you to shame mate in the hook up rate but it’s cool to see you guys share and enjoy the adventure together. Cheers for the great clips and tight lines guys

[@onelastcast4050]

the only videos on KZbin that i don't need to fast forward. keep up the light tackle videos we are enjoying it as much as the GT videos.

[@lennoxyeet3206]

Me: has 1 hour worth of homework Briggsy: uploads 1 hour of fishing and kayaking Me: so anyway I need to stay in tomorrow and do my homework

[@jakeorthman1496]

literally same thing. this comment is sooooo relatable! :)

[@lennoxyeet3206]

Max Randall haha damm that sucks

[@tapeworm6093]

Lennox Yeet 1 hour homework? Sounds like high school

[@lennoxyeet3206]

Tapeworm haha yeah exactly

[@tapeworm6093]

Lennox Yeet well good luck my man! Education first, take it from someone that put surfing first....

[@blacviking]

The first release was sick he didn't even rush off in his mind he was probably like whooaa wth just happened I better ease away before I get abducted again 🤣🤣 yeww 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@mattyboy.1]

Briggsy in the back of the eagle clip „munch munch, ITS HOOGE ITS HOOGE“

[@spooderboy640]

I love watching these videos with his wife because they use ULTRA LIGHT setups and those are my favorite setups.You get a better experience of fishing if you use UL.

[@TraviSScott3]

@17:37 MN here!!! “You’re rippin’ with the flatties!!!!!!” 👌🏼🤙🏼🤣🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@SledorFish]

Great gift and now we get even more adventures. That didn't even feel like an hour long video. Nicely done Briggsy and happy birthday. Also, congrats to Ochre on her big flathead.

[@bensbassnbarra9098]

They are great little yaks from kayaks2fish, I love mine and it’s great to see you cracking some fish in yours 👍

[@Briggsy]

Not sure if you can stand up in all yaks but it's so rad to be able to stand up and fish like that!

[@bobbyb9371]

Happy BD mate, watched the whole hour, loved it. For estuary stuff I use my SUP leash to hold my yak, either on my leg to cast the flats or secure to an anchor point as you did. Great vid. Cheers, BobbyB.

[@rainorshineangler3731]

Filipino angler here... I followed your adventures morning tide days with cavy and brooksy.. still supporting for you guys.. fish onnn.....

[@admis9719]

Couldn’t ask for anything else right now happy birthday Briggsy don’t know about the kayaking being your birthday present though seeing how much your misses has been fishing lately I think she got it for herself haha love the 1 hour episode

[@ivoryshore96]

the daiwa double clutch is another good option to nail the big girls on the flats

[@jamesireland9188]

Briggsy maybe you should put the rod away and be her cameraman lol. Always enjoyable to watch your channel never disappointed have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts

[@domosfishing3947]

Very good video, my type of fishing, next time use a yabbie pump, pump some yabbies and have an extra rod with bait. I reckon you'll carve up with yabbies their, it's too good to be true !!!

[@jeffffro7674]

If she is gonna become a serious angler, looks like that's the case, she should be taking the hooks out too! BTW....she had as good a teacher as one could ask for! Yakety Yak! Yakety Yak! You are going to have SO much fun with that thing!!!! Excellent gift!!

[@thebraveonestudio836]

“She” was the cats mother

[@brenzfishing]

Awesome stuff Briggsy, Kayaks certainly open up soo many new opportunities and untouched spots. Have a blast with it mate.

[@zenkiah554]

Briggs that big flatty you loss made my heart sink. But good stuff you kept catching. Awesome would love to see more vids like this mate.

[@paulsirens7259]

After a hard days work all I needed was to be reminded of what life is all about....and I got a whole hour of it. Thanks Briggsy... You two really nailed it, what a super prezzie from an awesome lady. If that isn't a day to remember then there's no such thing, absolutely brilliant. Happy Birthday :)

[@jimsurfnfish8089]

What a awesome birthday and gift, man your honey was on fire🔥 Those camp out taco’s looked so ono! ( good) and the sound of those nuggets frying had me frothing big time. Love how you kept just enough for dinner, Happy birthday you Legend and God bless you and your family, Aloha braddah Briggsy🤙🏽

[@Seruphin]

I really like the underwater shots, and I think the relaxed and real vibe makes it better to watch than an overproduced tv fishing show

[@chrislunnon316]

I have watched all your vids and this one was a special...... keep the real content coming

[@selwynellison8504]

So fantastic that you and your partner can spend time together fish .

[@eamonsouth1481]

If they are hitting the top water but not hooking up maybe try stopping it after you get hit and just giving it a few tiny little twitches. This should keep the lure in the zone longer and make them think they have stunned the fish. Good luck and good video mate!

[@Briggsy]

Cheers for the tip Mate!

[@ysohot223]

Is how I describe this day out in one word..PERFECT..and happy bday

[@izzyboss6875]

Whiting love sugapens dude. Put some assist hooks on the back of one and they are dynamite 🤙🏼

[@Briggsy]

Thanks for the tip Mate!

[@dsr20631]

definitely do that the hookup rate is much better. You probably already know this but whiting are very aggressive in shallow water, they love a moving lure. They tend to shy away a lot of the time if you pause it.

[@MelbLastboyscout]

one of the best vids mate. Estuary is hugely addictive as you can see the fish. Its like hide and seek for fishermen

[@travellingcharles6088]

Total smile on my face watching this whole vid. Cheers from Colorado

[@gripnripfishing866]

Such a sick vid, froth was real from both of you. Just goes to show how much fun you can have going back to basics fishing from a yak catching flatties

[@Briggsy]

Such a fun style of fishing!

[@navrintaylor4351]

Really like fishing now because of you thanks

[@joshuagodward8694]

Got the same kayak except a single. Definitely need to film another vid together with dexter and xavier

[@kyrojf3957]

would enjoy watching that

[@dexfishing9673]

Yeah I want to that bad haha I reckon a little estuary / light tackle vid would be mental

[@Briggsy]

We'll do it! Briggsy always very busy editing/lookin after the kids, most the time barely get a chance to fish myself but we'll make it happen forsure!

[@dexfishing9673]

Briggsy yeah I know sounds great though

[@mathewhepple4336]

Actually a silly good video bro half hour in and I’m loving it I miss the morning ride boys doing these kinda videos just pure gold! Belter of a day!

[@damianlarsen3672]

Best birthday gift ever. Love the way you could both stand and fish incredible balance. This is the first video i have come across from Brigsy but good enough to hit the subscribe 10 minutes in. Love your work

[@CHOPSZOOKER]

Thats what its about, great time out in the yak. We have a Triton 2+1 and its great to both get out, but it really good solo.

[@russelthecrackhead]

Can't wait for kayak vids

[@mathew4588]

Defiantly go back to that same spot and throw a big swim bait around !!!!!

[@Paul-jd8lq]

Put some size 10 bkk trebles on the front and back. Hook up rate for whiting will improve.

[@danielayris3623]

Bro sorry the big girl got away . That was a sick video guys , thank you both heaps . I had a smile on my face the whole time.

[@Briggsy]

Stoked you liked it mate 🤙

[@desireecoad7557]

🎈🎊Happy Birthday Briggsy! Yew! 🐟

[@jlush444]

So good you’ve got on the sugar pen train. Such a great lure. Get onto the assist hooks. You’ll be glad you did.

[@supersignsaustraliaptyltd3734]

Great vid, great days fishing thanks for sharing, the crunch of the tacos topped it all off, well done love the excitement and passion. Great photography as well loved the underwater releases

[@brucerowland9989]

Absolutely frothing on the kayak mate, awesome stuff. Can't believe the amount of flatty's you both caught. Awesome session for sure 🎣🤙🤙🤙

[@brucerowland9989]

Thankfully summer is around the corner for the river kayak trip down here on the south coast been too wet, windy and cold last few months.

[@macauley4466]

Need more like this, going from 10.minute vid to the next I'm getting through all you guys channels pretty quick, pretty much seen all of cavys all of morningtide and not got many of yours left haha so these longer ones that last are great just need to get through everyone else's, not sure I'm going to have enough vids to last through covid

[@toddynineteen90z53]

Happy birthday briggdawg! Much love!

[@AlohaMilton]

One of your best videos! What you did with the food prep is hilarious/awesome. That Kayak is a next level gift, giving a fisherman a boat to fish from! Actual best gift ever category. Going all the way to the inlet and drifting back looks like just the best funnest day of fishing. Epic! Favorite moment: 'You want the same lure, or you want to mix it up?' (You wanna trade lures so I can catch something?) 'No!' 'Nah?' (omg she wont trade, I'm going to lose!) Pained laughter from Briggsy follows, I laugh my ass off and start cheering for Ochre to win! And she totally owns Briggsy! Both number and size! HAHAHAHA!!!! I think you guys sold a few Diawa plastics! (sold me on them, seem tough and good action)

[@debramage739]

Happy birthday dude. Lovely vid.

[@tommygun2050]

Nice work guys that’s awesome happy birthday Briggsy you must be stoked would have been a epic day 🎣🐊👍

[@adamsmith8533]

[@prospectvic]

Outstanding video guys, looked like a lot of fun

[@NarakiDixon]

Watched thru the entire hour, loving it mate. Awesome underwater release footage, salivating very much! Tightlines!

[@heftigfishing2757]

You Legend Mate 🤟 ! Happy Birthday ! What a nice Present and awsome fishing . Sad you loose the big one . Keep it goin Mate 🤙!

[@ashleetheninja101]

Chuck some tiny assist hooks and a smaller front treble on the sugapen for sure

[@ruhroah5044]

That fish looks delish! I can't believe I watched the whole hour, just flew by. Amazing catch!

[@cesarvalentin7795]

I love watching your videos especially when you're fishing with your girl. It's so awesome that yall can share something like fishing and enjoy it so much. I love to fish and would love to catch a flathead one day. We don't have those here in Texas but we have flounder which are so fun to catch too. Keep it up.

[@maxmiko6122]

Briggsy when r u gonna do another big trip like the morning tide stranded series. We miss them,that said this was a great video. I like these longer ones

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, Cavy's stuck in indo, Brooksy's in the right state for the trip and I'm in the wrong state cant get to him and the cameraman we plan to bring is stuck in NZ! So we're real keen to do another MTF film but everyone except brooksy's stuck in the wrong state or country haha

[@maxmiko6122]

Briggsy cant wait to watch it. Im stuck in victoria stage 4 so I’m living thru your videos at the moment. Thanks for making such great content

[@maxmiko6122]

Briggsy btw Briggsy if u want another weird lure to try i found a good one www.bcf.com.au/p/savage-swim-squid-soft-plastic-lure-18cm/M563645.html?dwvar_M563645_color=Reef%20Squid&cgid=BCF035010#start=16

[@drdeankos2356]

beautiful gift for a great guy mate what a way to spend the day chilling up river it looks like a clean healthy river to fish lots of types of fish great footage make some nice photo stills happy days congrats on your fishing in the YAK great cook up looks amazing stay safe

[@simonemidy6158]

Almost midnight here in Texas and man those fish tacos look so good right now. I see more yak trips in the future for you two. Briggsy, as always, I enjoy watching you and the family fishing. Stay safe until next time.

Best hour to start the day off. What a great video. Thank you!!!

Happy birthday bro all the best

[@Dogsrule777]

Right on Briggsy! Beautiful zone man. 🤙🏾

[@fishingadventureswithjack9133]

Sugapenn is the best. Bream from weed edges pack attack them. Also nailed a 40cm Aussie bass with it, good all rounder. Also might need to add the missos name to your channel she’s killing it !

[@neddy1703]

Great video mate, it's always a good day when you upload!

[@jimarmantrout583]

Great video what a birthday present fishing lessons from your girl. Stay happy brother

[@Briggsy]

Cheers Mate 👍

[@IamtheWV17]

Gotta get some anchoring solutions! A drift chute would've been stellar in this context!

[@tntbossthrone1062]

I'm about to watch all of this

[@tntbossthrone1062]

I just finished Those tacos look good

[@smallislandfishing3494]

What a session 👏

[@treasurehuntingtasmania9468]

Great fun guys, briggsy the metre plus flatties love BIG plastics, like 6 plus inches ( they are girls after all) ,the heavier gauge hook needed will help stay connected for the hour long battle you'll be in for before you'll get a look at it too 😂 great watching you both have so much fun together 👍

[@TheDerek1976]

brilliant video, thanks for sharing !

[@fernandovillarguerreiro6542]

Men, I just love to see you and your wife fishing together, amazing video mate. Congratulations, wish have a taste of the tacos that you made Briggsy. 😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😋😋
