best fishing youtuber for basic and technical stuff. My go to for learning more about fishing.

[@scottm5581]

Thanks mate, I'm really enjoying your latest few educational type videos!!!

[@fishingmad]

Thanks heaps Scott, a few more will be on the way soon so stay tuned.

[@garryknox1614]

Thanks Alan that was a new technique for me. The opposable two hook rig certainly increases your chances of a hook up. This presentation should work on any fish that take whole baits, great for flathead, mulloway and the like.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Gary, yeah I use the same rig when targeting snapper, gummies and Mulloway and a few other species too.

[@jeremylavis9541]

Very well put together. Helpful. Thanks.

[@fishingmad]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SunnyCoffs]

Thanks for the very useful tips. Will try it sooon 😉😄

[@fishingmad]

Awesome, im glad you found it helpful.

[@andrew4x4au666]

Rigged up a couple of these snapper rigs tonight, gonna head see how they go in the morning. Cheers for the great content Alan 👍

[@fishingmad]

Fantastic, glad you found it helpful. Good luck out there tomorrow !!

[@andrew4x4au666]

@@fishingmad Thanks for the reply mate, got plenty of little salmon on plastics, but nothing on this rig. Good practice though, because at least I know how to rig whole baits for when the snapper start biting.

[@fishingmad]

Yeah its a tough time fishing at the moment as the water temperature has dropped right off.

[@lukagrga6178]

Thanks for the tip

[@fishingmad]

Your very welcome, more are on the way so stay tuned

[@munawarkhan1666]

Very nice 👍👍👍👍👍

[@beanfrankednow5391]

Sick content brother

[@fishingmad]

Thanks !!! Much appreciated

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Love the fishing tip videos. Awesome 👍

[@fishingmad]

Thanks heaps, glad your enjoying them. Got a few more vids on the way. Some targeting bream and snapper and a few more instructional ones around using soft plastics. So stay tuned and thanks for the positive feedback. Let us know if you have any topics you would like to see covered.

[@jaredbuttigieg]

It would be cool if you could go fishing on the Werribee river or at lorne.

[@fishingmad]

Great ideas, I actually took the kayak on the werribee river 2 weeks ago when it was quite windy. No rods just checking out the area and chatting to others. I was really surprised that the river all the way up to the golf course was less then 2 meters deep in the middle, ill need to go further down where some deeper pools are. I intend to give it a crack soon, the locals wreckon its a pretty challenging destination so looking froward to the challenge. ill be back at Lorne during winter will prob give the piers and artillery rocks a good crack soon,

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Just be careful at artillery rocks, they can be very dangerous. My dad has been swept into the water there a few times.

[@fishingmad]

Wow thats no good. Yeah I have been told to be very careful on peak of high tide there. Thanks for the tip.

[@SLIPAWAYFISHING]

Thanks! 👍

[@fishingmad]

No problem! Glad you enjoyed it

[@patrickobligacion4428]

Thank you 😊

[@fishingmad]

You're welcome 😊

[@SUBSUB-jl6jk]

Very good video mate, any chance of getting some videos on how you set up your rigs. This one especially would be pretty handy

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Dan, no problems. I generally buy the premade double snelled rigs and paternoster rigs from Reedys Rigs. But happy to do a video soon to show how they are put together.

[@gaidin]

@@fishingmad Those Reedys Rigs look pretty good, but not cheap are they!

[@sfg6446]

Thanks heaps for the tip Alan 👍

[@fishingmad]

Your very welcome Sam, hope your going to be out there tomorrow chasing some snapper !!. Not sure if ill be out there in the boat or kayak just yet.

[@sfg6446]

I actually went out Thursday morning but there was nothing much, just a 31 cm pinky and a couple small flathead. We also got a monster stingray. I can’t wait to get back out there for some snapper soon👍

[@sfg6446]

Just a quick question, I’ve been going past sanctuary lakes and seeing lots of bream and mullet caught. I know you go there a bit so is there any baits or plastics you recommend?

[@fishingmad]

Yeah its still very hit and miss at the moment. I have some mates who braved the wind during the week, they said they were sounding up some good schools but couldn't get them to bite. Hope to see you out there tomorrow !!

[@fishingmad]

100% i know that place as well as anyone. My go to is the Savage gear slim minnow in motor oil, the bream in there love it. I also use the 6.5 cm savage curl tail in black the bream and the mullet love it. My first ever sessions there I used a Savage fathead 36 crank and caught a few. I think my record is 20 bream in one session there all on that savage crank lure. the trick there is just finding clearing amongst all the weed. I was going to take the kayak down there soon as ive never done that. might see you down there one night

[@Doodsy1975]

Good, easy to understand instructional video mate.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Darren, really appreciate the comment. Wasn't sure whether people would find these tip videos helpful, but so far so good

[@Doodsy1975]

@@fishingmad Definitely helpful mate. It's one thing to watch someone catching fish after fish, but the viewer needs to learn how to actually achieve the same.

[@fishingmad]

Agreed 100%, thanks again

[@joewong6506]

Thanks for the tip Alan! May I ask if this is suitable for pier/dock fishing?

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Joe, Have a look at this weblink. I have spent the last 5 years putting this together which im sure you will find helpful fishingmad.com.au/locations cheers

[@peterk7377]

I've never got a snapper in the bay. This year I'm going to make it happen.

[@fishingmad]

I hope so, the snapper fishing has been a little hit and miss the last couple of years so lets hope its an awesome upcoming season for all.

[@exploredw8959]

Can we use this rig for rock fishing

[@dory_m78]

Mate I'm having trouble with my 2 hook presentation. Which hook and size,do you suggest for those pilchard which are 80mm long?

[@fishingmad]

Watch this it will really help with the hook selection kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGWsd393e8udabM cheers

[@dequadin100]

Can you show how to bait squid on a snell rig? Thanks

[@bowenlockwood8332]

What advantages does a snelled rig have over just running double hooks and rigging it the same way

[@fishingmad]

For me i find it to be a more solid setup that never lets you down, I find that having running hooks causes more pressure and strain on the bottom hook should the fish get pinned on the top running hook.

[@lochiedavid9642]

hi alan what rod is that and is it any good thanks

[@fishingmad]

Yeah that is my Savage Gear 1DRF offshore 5-8 kilo rod thats 7 foot 6 in length. They are great rods. I have 2 of them paired with stealth 4000 or 6000 reels depending on how heavy I want to fish.

[@haydenloader4529]

is the lumo bead on the rig necessary?

[@fishingmad]

completely optional just adds a bit of attractant. Completely up to you whether you feel its necessary or not.

[@dory_m78]

Are you a fan of salting prawn/pilchards

[@fishingmad]

Yeah it does help, but in all honesty i rarely do it. Its more that i generally pickup bait on the way so it hasnt thawed out.

[@dory_m78]

Cheers mate

[@deankay626]

Hooks look way to close together

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Dean, im not sure how you could finish with 2 half hitch knots if the hooks were any further apart.

[@deankay626]

fishingmad quite easily actually, pilchard looked okay but the whiting, yeah nah

[@fishingmad]

OK noted, thanks

[@petecabrina]

Why bother with the snapper and not just fry up those whiting? lol What a waste as bait.

[@fishingmad]

Good point
