Awesome 👍 I lived in Cairns in the early 90,s ... Was some of the best times of my life ... FM Radio hadn't even made it there yet ... The good old days 🤩

[@lukefalzon]

mate that sounds so good mate love it and yes it sounds very good time to be alive back then but in saying that I love it here also mate the best have you been fishing at all?

[@COLEY72]

@@lukefalzon g'day buddy ... I really liked your video ... I'm a new subscriber 😀 ... Yep I've done a little bit of fishing mostly for redfin back in the late 70's and 80's and some a bit more recently in western port bay 👍

[@user-es5rh4ew9m]

i love the fishing adventure. good job .

[@oORebbeOo]

Awesome video! Btw the thing you saw in the tarpon is the swim bladder, I work with the processing of them, great use for them in the Asian market.

[@wepenersdodd]

Great video mate, Here in South Africa, bony fish make good fish cakes, cook the fillets(smoke or steam it) then remove most of the big bones. Chase it through the mincer, add some seasoning, diced onions, flower, am egg or two. And make some fish cakes.. Serve with some tartare souce.. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Narrahd]

You have a beautiful family brother 🙏 Making these memories are so important ❤

[@amerlina7958]

[@mitchellburgess5846]

the fish you caught mate looks like a threadfin salmon or some sort of little tarpon. keep it up legend

[@lukefalzon]

Cheers bro I think it was a tarpon

Tarpon, not good eating, especially when there’s so much other great fish on offer up there. Great vid! And you can cast for prawns off the Esplanade when they’re running. Amazing part of the world.

mporning luke, if you're in salt water. Make sure you wash your reel and rod in clean water all the time, it will prevent it from corroding . Great fishing keep on going and living the dream

Hey Luke, at 21 minutes when filleting the fish, that is all the guts, you should take all of that out for sure! But good work man, nice catch.

[@frostyman349]

I fished off those exact same rocks at 9:48 the other week. My mate caught a fat barra there it was almost a meter.

[@danielkhuemlan5365]

Theres no croc around there or what? how come your so comfortable trying to put hands in the water 😮

[@srousan8474]

Great video Man, made me keen to go fishing. Just stop telling people how good it is in Cairns 🤣

[@Hmonganesepryde]

When u had it semi frozen. Fillet then use a fork and just scrape all the meat off the bones then make fish balls. Tampons meat is actually pretty good at taking on the flavours u put on it.

[@jeffreyflynn2805]

That was highly entertaining man,especially watching you eat what is basically a saltwater carp

I recommend you guys to go to Hartley crocodile adventures up in Kuranda. You get to go on a boat ride in a man made mangrove where many crocs are in there. It’s pretty close up. Have fun in cairns Edit: forgot to mention they feed the crocs with sticks and they wiggle themselves up into the air

thank you for the heads up thats something we want to do should be so much fun :) are you from Queensland?

[@tomhalf3018]

@@lukefalzon if you go to kuranda and like freshwater fishing go to oakforrest road near MCcorry st most locals fish off the bridge but i personally fish upstream from the bridge, you can drive down mccorry st about 300m down you will see the first house on the left an then turn right into a clearing opposite the house, go over the train track an a small hike down a hill and your at a grunter breeding hole most locals don't even know about. You will catch grunter, sleepy cod, eeltail catfish and possibly a jungle perch but their mostly tagged. The recent rain has stirred up alot of grunters I took home 8 grunters all above 48cm.

[@Eddiethestreamer]

cool video mate we catch the fish and put them in the live bucket it is a bucket with a arereater like a fishtank and it keeps the fish alive also scale the fish with a spoon it is better than the knife also we just cook the fish strait without seasoning

Don't kill fish if you don't even know what it is. For all you know it could have been a protected species, poisonous, not legal size or shit eating/ full of bones like you found out. Interesting seeing someone fillet a tarpon none the less, cant say I've seen that before lol

Is there any kind of fish you prefer to catch? I've been a cairns local for 34 years Port douglas is renowned for barra Inbetween palmcove jetty and double island is shark alley Fishing under the caravonica bridge is 10/10 for mangrove jack and the small pedestrian bridge not far away is good for large schools of mullet (and crocs so be wary) Anywhere in kuranda you will always catch grunters, eels an eeltail catfish Go to tinaroo for huge redclaw and a stocked dam, sometimes theres tilapia catching contests and largest barra contests
