Mikey, That's documentary level there mate. Again well done on great footage from a D-Town lad to you. So much want to visit this haunt of yours and meet all these genuine guys. Have spent a bit of time up the road at Manangoora Station out fishing but always wanted to have a look at King Ash Bay and beyond. Cant wait for you to jag an epic session on the Bazz of massive size given you put in the miles for the smiles mate. Well done again mate.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Cheers for watching mate. King Ash Bay is just down the road mate. Leave in the morning and you’ll be there in time to order a Parmi that evening at Groper’s Bar and Grill that night! Haha.

Awesome Ep

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Thanks mate.

[@kirrilyrodwell]

Hey Mikey , another great vid . 👍🏻 Where can someone buy one of those chopper rod setups u are using please?

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

They are made by Shimano exclusively for Tackle World Rod and Rifle in Katherine mate. If you aren't in the area, I'm pretty sure they have an online store too. Don't let the size fool you, they are tough little rods too.👍🏼

[@joshhumphries1148]

Respect for doing anzac❤❤❤❤

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Absolutely mate. 🇦🇺🇳🇿 🫡

[@paulchurch1252]

I am waiting to buy one of these fishing shirts you have on.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

On the website mate. 👍🏼

[@guyschiefelbein7505]

well done Mikey there must have been some salt in that water as you got a mixed bag at the spot

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea maybe a tiny bit. 95% fresh at that time of year though.

[@troynixon209]

Those pork ribs looked perfect.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea, those crabbers know how to cook.

[@bigbarracreekaussie3449]

This should be good ,The Jobs On!!

Hi Mickey we absolutely love your videos, my hubbys dream is to go fishing with you lol, would love if you could give him a hello on your next video his name is Ken. ❤

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Sounds awesome mate. 👍🏼

[@AnarchyEnsues]

be cool if some of them lobster fisherman from the states came over for a visit..

[@overlandturtle4630]

Mikey re day 6 late arvo fishing you were very close to edge of water. Were crocs a concern or nil in that area? Great to have you back. Videos are great.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yes mate. Crocodiles in that water. Definitely try not to stand right next to the bank for too long. Maybe a little bit silly by me.

[@joelan93mtfworkshop89]

yeeew legends!! been waiting 👌🤙

[@williamhughes5197]

We call the fish you caught. Mother in law fish. They're all mouth 😂

[@danielwakeling3662]

Parmy ❤

[@DanielDennis-sk4rj]

I wouldn’t be a very good professional mud crabber, I would eat all of my stock 🤣

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Haha. The temptation is real.

[@sooksandsimba]

Time to start culling the sharks for crab bait.

[@christopherhonor2410]

Can anyone camp at King ash Bay and what are the prices

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yes mate. It’s open to members and guests. Jump in the King Ash Bay Fishing Club website. It has up to date information on camping and other accommodation options there.

[@JarrahFreebolt]

We need a mad mullet stubbie cooler

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I’ll have a chat with him and see what he reckons mate.

@@MikeyCunninghamFishing thanks mate ill get my old boy to get me a couple next time he is down that way! thanks :)

[@kaizanatorcatchncook]

Mikey. Are the crabers hats big mate. Ive gota big head. Most hats dont fit me not even the last one . Need a deep hat and xLL

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Crikey… I dunno. They are adjustable. For comparison, I wear a size 62 Akubra (which is pretty big) and the Gulf Mud Crabber cap fits me perfect when I adjust the thing on the back to the last 3 holes. Hope that helps.

[@kaizanatorcatchncook]

Ill be up with mad mullet soon crabbing

[@jameswebb3000]

Can anybody go fishing down there

[@alexmcdowall8680]

Hey mate , how much do the lads make on average for each crate?

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

The price of crabs varies heaps throughout the year. They get paid per KG. One crab will be worth maybe $10 to $30 to the crabber. Maybe 40 crabs per basket.

[@geoffgold6773]

That fish at the end of the video is Papuan Jawfish I think he’s lost Just kidding common in the top of Arnhem Land

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I’ve caught a couple of Papuan Jawfish in Darwin Harbour. They have bigger eyes right on the front of his head. They are kind of similar to the 3 Spines Frogfish I guess. 👍🏼

[@ladstopendadeventures8237]

Do they keep female crabs as well

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yes mate. No laws in the NT stopping commercial or recreational fishos from keeping Jennys. The crabs are very plentiful here. 👍🏼

[@desgamble7643]

Don't blur out the killing of fish mate. That's life.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea I hear ya mate. I would have loved to show catching and preparing the pig too… but KZbin would have a fit. That’s where we are at unfortunately.

[@Buddy89538]

What’s going on with the uploads mate? You having a break?

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I’ve got a good one coming this week mate. 👍🏼

[@anthonybeale1584]

don;t understand your reaction to my suggestion.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Hi mate... I was trying to clarify what you were asking. You asked for either more or longer videos on the mothership. And I already made lots of long videos last year featuring that boat. So I was trying to work out if you specifically wanted to see more of the boat. Or just more videos where we are out utilising the boat. Hope that's makes sense mate.

[@anthonybeale1584]

@@MikeyCunninghamFishing I think a week on board the mootgershiip showing how you live together, would be interesting. I apologise for being rude.

[@paulrichards2239]

Copy Mikey. Copy Mikey. Where are you.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea mate. On channel. Heading back to the Gulf shortly.

[@oriel229]

I suppose it goes without saying that you don't ever swim in these waters.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea that’s right mate. Lots of crocodiles 🐊

[@stephenjeacocke1530]

So you do realise salt water is heavy compared to freshwater ? So where do except a salt water mud crab to be on the bottom normally in deeper gutters Just where they are in flood water times
