Too funny Shane, I watched all 50 odd vids of your house Reno last year in syd before we moved up, and did a drive by on our one trip to sawtell at Christmas , I’ve owner built 2 houses and I’m currently have whole side of house open and pool 90% built but no pump yet , haven’t fished in 3 months but will hit it once this Reno is done , love to catch up , haven’t used any of your dad jokes in class yet still have enough of my own to cycle through. Cheers Phil a

Wow Phil, yr vids amazing, and addictive. I can’t catch Bream, sort of catch Flatties, and can catch Tailor when they’re on. Last several weeks, have, on Mid North Coast off a Breakwall I’ve been targeting these Longies. I’ve seen them caught there, two landed in front of my eyes, last couple weeks. I haven’t had a sniff. Reckon I’d get spooled on my first attempt. However just seeing these extraordinary fish landed there over these weeks enough! Both were around the 12-15kg and under no illusions that these fishermen were making it look easy coz they’ve done this for years. A joy to watch you gun land based game fishermen go about yr business. Go Phil!😮

I randomly found this video after looking up fishing in nsw, and was like this looks like the beach I go to and realised I went fishing there a couple days ago and caught a 50cm tailor. I also saw a bunch of long tail tuna and can’t wait to get back out there this weekend. But the tuna never got close enough but we had one chance to get bonito but missed it. I’m definitely watch your videos more often!!!

Scott I’ve only got 300 of 50lb braid but I fish real heavy drag and 80lb leader the last fish have a good account but I stopped it with about 120m left on the spool , with 30lb braid you could go close to a spool job if you hook up at the front end of a long cast , 40lb braid is a good choice and popular
