[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah mate, I got sick of blowing gear sets and pinions in low profiles and since changing all my Bc gear to conquests I haven’t done a single one!

[@adriangray459]

I love the sound of the DC casting!😍

[@Micksgonefishing]

I was never a fan personally but I can handle it on this reel, it’s a dream to use!

Nice switch on the swim, definitely a great way to utilise them!! Well done!

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate, sometimes you gotta mix it up, knowing when is the key!

[@IRFANCAST]

So much joy seeing that lure come back Epic catches & another good day out, nice!

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate, yeah I’ve caught the same fish twice in a session but never recaptured one with a lure I lost.. always a bonus hey!

[@markspalding6092]

Geez mick you have a great channel, always good clear concise info, really well explained. Bloody love the look of that 200 Calcutta, I have an old 200 TE DC that’s an absolute favourite, such beautifully built, smooth reels, cast like a dream. Great to see some mint weather up there, hasn’t been much of that this year! You live in paradise mate! Keep the videos coming. Cheers!

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate!! Yeah this DC is by far my favorite reel to use!!

[@Micksgonefishing]

Haha that’s a pretty good example 😂😂

[@GunninYT]

Another great vid mate, crazy same fish had another crack at different lure and u got first one back lol. I really like Ur inshore creek fishing videos but this coast shore line barra targeting is awesome to. I like how u detail Ur fishing approach and strategies. Keep up the good work mate.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate! Yeah it blew my mind too, the fish even attacked the lure exactly the same way by the looks of it!

[@geoffgold6773]

Hi Mike always found it easier to use the lip grips rather than the net on a big fish especially when your solo

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah I didn’t have any lip grips in the boat, might have to put some in…

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

Another great video Mick. Can you recommend where to get that Sunline FC shock leader from in Australia mate? Cheers

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate!! Where are you located? I’ve seen it in Mackay here and in Cairns but other than that it is a pretty specialized product so it may be a special order from your local sunline dealer.. it’s worth a crack though, I really rate it hey, and I hated fluro before this come out because I prefer stretch when chasing bigger fish…

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

@@Micksgonefishing I'm in Cairns mate. I'll check my local but I haven't seen it before. Yeah it does looks really good, I've taken a lot of your advice on board and so far it hasn't steered me wrong. I usual use fc100 or nylon shock but I'm keen as to give this a crack 👍🏻

Mate where you get your reels from? Trying to find a Conquest 200 DC in Australia is like hens teeth!

[@Micksgonefishing]

They don’t bring these into the country unfortunately… amazing reel!!

[@nickallen8834]

@@Micksgonefishing yeah issues with lack of DC component and availability I think.

[@thor_6886]

that's pretty cool catching the same fish twice - interesting that getting duped by the first lure didn't put it off feeding. Great glimpse into your sounder work, too Mick - quick question, am i right that the black strips on side-vu are essentially the 'shadow' of the boat, and you're not looking at any marks in that black area - only stuff out to the side (amber bits)? That's the one thing that confuses me about Garmin side-vu. I'm pretty sure I saw a vid where the guy was pointing to dots etc in the black area saying they were fish.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate, nah it’s not the shadow but the water under the boat, depending on the depth it can change but yeah the line down the middle is the boats position, the black is the cone that reads down and the Amber is out to the side..

[@jdreichel4939]

Is that some electronic reel? Has a crazy buzz to it when you cast.

[@adammfishing]

Cracke vid mate! ! With your lure knots.. one twist and tie... is that with all diameters... or just the heavier stuff.. just curious.

[@WhiteGhost21]

i'd always wondered how long it would take fish to feed again after being 'tricked' ...well, not long at all

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah it depends on their mood I guess.. they were definitely fired up this day!!

[@tinytinnyfishing5057]

Was this just around the mackay region

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah mate

wouldnt want ot tell me the exact location would ya?🤣🤣

[@deedeelemons2035]

Hey Mick , nice vid , but no , not a a good eating fish, too watery when cooking, but enough fish for a village, ha! If ya desperate? 👍

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah I don’t like to target them in anything but shallow water, at least that way they can be released!

[@hafidhx]

What a beast

[@Micksgonefishing]

Some tanks in there hey!!

[@chasewilson9354]

when i was pro fishing for jew they will move if you drop one only a few meters but most people dont know they do that but even in a couple meters of water thry dont go back well most of the time you will see them float back up

[@Micksgonefishing]

They go back fine in the shallows but you do need to spend time with them in the water getting their energy levels back up. I spent a solid 20mins with that big one at the end. They just use all their energy trying to evade being caught!

Yeah I’ll try it next time on something different, I set the camera up like that so I didn’t blow the spot out.. these fish have high value on the black market so I’d prefer to keep the location somewhat secret over aesthetically pleasing video content…

At first looking at the scenery I though it was Yeppoon area, but then you caught fish, which rules Yeppoon out as it’s a fished-out shithole

Hahahaha that’s hilarious 😂 but people say the same about Mackay and I’ve had some amazing fishing in Yeppoon so I don’t believe ya 😂🤣

[@chrishopkinson8442]

Up the Jews mick! They are such dirty fighters compared to mulloway! You did well staying calm n getting the big dog into the boat. I've found when you're solo like that sometimes it's easier getting the lip grips onto em when they're floating as the net spooks em... Smashed my PB though, my biggest was 117 & 14kg

[@Felixsreptiles]

yeah tell me about it fishing solo and catching jewwies is insane especially when in creeks, my biggest jewwie is 134cm in a creek trolling for barra.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah man, they’re good fun!! Definitely pull a mulloway backwards!! I looked calm but nearly every fish my legs were quivering 😂😂 that big one at the end was 127cm, equaled my PB 💪🏻

[@Micksgonefishing]

134 is a huge fish!! Congrats 👌🏻

[@Felixsreptiles]

@@Micksgonefishing yeah was defiantly a struggle trying to keep it away from timber in the creek.

[@finnafishfl]

What's the difference between a jewfish and a mulloway? I was under the impression they're the same species of fish

[@jamesmorrison8279]

If you are to release a fish to live on, keep your fingers / hands out of its gills,.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Hands didn’t touch its gill mate, just the gill plate, the actual gills on these would mince your hands if you put them in there.

[@tomallanfishing]

@@Micksgonefishing your right mate some people just need to keep there opinion to thereself , good work

[@evanmiris5765]

You obviously havent caught a jewie mate , if you put your hand deep into their gill rakes you will shred your hands. You only handle the gill plate and no ill effects on the fish.

[@evanmiris5765]

Great vid as always Mick , great to get the first vibe back . A similar thing happened to me on jewie , beach fishing for them of a beach in South Australia using a Paternoster rig with star sinker and two 9/0 snelled hooks and whole squid for bait. Had one bust me of on a reef , re rigged and put another bait out and got another hook up . Landed the fish and it was the same one , still had my old rig and sinker dragging behind it. Goes to show when they are feeding aggressively it doesnt stop them from focusing on food.
