Stranded: Fishing for Supplies

Link to Merch - www.mikeycunningham.com.au/shop/
In the wake of Cyclone Lincoln, the roads are closed and the shelves are empty at the local shop. After 2 weeks without any fresh food, it's time to assemble a group of lads for a fishing mission around the islands. Five blokes on two boats headed out for one of the best days fishing you could possibly ask for.

Awesome session, congrats on the PB, can't wait to get up there.

[@Vanningtheland]

Awesome mate 👌🇦🇺

[@stevenmcintyre9967]

Gee Mikey, this video rates up there with one of your best. The Mad Mullet certainly has some knowledge and eyesight to match. Fantastic!

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Mate, his eye sight is incredible. I had prescription, polarised sunnies on and could not see the birds working. Mullet is tuned in. And I think you’re right mate… certainly one of the best episodes in terms of quality of fish caught.

😂 John Wayne you’re the best

keep the videos coming mikey always a good watch

[@weekendwarriorchick]

Nailed another great content to watch 👏🏼

Ripper fishing session Mike. A monster day to cover those km and have that fishing in a day, but well worth the effort. Well done.

[@peterstaggs1956]

WOW what a great day of fishing. Well done putting the guys on the right spots. Tuna footage was awesome. Cheers from Adelaide

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

For the spots I just trusted the sounder and looked for interesting looking bottom. That’s the advice I give others all the time… followed my own advice and it worked out perfect!

[@aron6108]

Mate what a channel….started watching you the other day awesome bro

[@davidgc4396]

Unreal video Mikey really enjoyed it. Fantastic fishing out there 😊

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Thanks mate. 👍🏼

[@thesaltytravellers2869]

Hi Mikey, your content and narration is next level, the whole crew from King Ash Bay just exudes the real Aussie culture that you guys are keeping alive, good job mate.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Thanks for the support and kind words mate. I see you replied to another comment from someone that was being a bit dramatic... thanks for coming into bat for me mate. You pretty much wrote my exact thoughts. Thank you. - Mikey

[@thesaltytravellers2869]

That was my pleasure mate and i am sure that 99% of the community up there are right behind you.

[@ozineden2843]

Another great video of how you need to improvise when things are flooded and you have no way of getting stuff brought in by road. Keep up the great work. Oh yeah love that shirt that mullet was wearing. Can you buy those shirts? Best wishes from Sweden

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I have a mullet shirt available now. Not the one he is wearing in this video though. The one he is wearing is a one-off that someone gave him as a gift.

[@tonyyates3126]

That was one awesome episode, bloody awesome. Not sure how you're going to top that one but im sure you will.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Thanks mate. As far as the actual fishing goes, you’re right… it’s going to be hard to top that.

[@CliffFitchett]

Best one I have watched you and men nail it cheers cliffy

[@0711rusty]

Man I'm ready to pack it up n move over there !!!! Ahhh man I love this channel !! I been a commercial fisherman my whole life and the houseboat crabbing videos reminds me of better times..( the good ol days)

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea mate. Troubles seem to go away when you’re out on the water.

Like Mullet's shirt...best of collection so far I reckon.

[@johngibson3837]

Hey up mate top video definitely one of your best from tropical paradise , that tuna boil was impressive don't see that everyday

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea you see tuna busting up regularly here, but jumping clean out of the water like that was something different.

[@johngibson3837]

@@MikeyCunninghamFishing supper cool to see mate, there's fella Gary Kerr with some old tuna boat videos and stories you might like, sister sent me a picture of a nice (65) grunter she'd got out ov Tully river

[@vman4220]

Awesome video and editing mate.

[@davebrowning5370]

Muttets hair going back

[@jonnywaselectric]

Good fun session that. See when mullets paternoster busted off at the hook, I got sick of that happening so instead of just putting the loop through the hook tie it as a palomar knot it's heaps stronger as doubles the line strength

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea mullet was going bareback too… Just used braid. No leader. Big mistake. Haha.

[@brusselsprouts6847]

Awesome video mikey well done Where do we get the mad mullet mud crab shirts buddy , they look great 👍

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

The one he is wearing I think is a one-off he either had made. Or someone gave him. I’m not sure. I’ve got a mullet shirt coming soon.

[@jarrodtaylor1269]

I had a big laugh at the little man climbing out of mullets backside 😂😂😂

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I needed to do something. He had half his butt sticking out. Haha.

[@ericoczenaschek5847]

Great fishing . Where can we get a Mad Mullet and Crab Jersey???

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

A couple of weeks mate and I will have some samples.

Hey mikey Love the content Do you do bumper stickers yet? "Goldies before coldies" would be the best 😂

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Not yet mate. Not bumper stickers. I do have a range of stickers available though. Including Goldies Before Coldies.

wow nice one m8

[@seanyuke3249]

Aah. Good on ya mullet! Fingermark. As we know.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea we call them Fingermark in the NT sometimes too. Mostly Goldies or Golden Snapper.

[@seanyuke3249]

Hold on to your hat mate. This next one would near blow a kiwi off the dole...!

[@AttitudeAdjuster]

Its really interesting when different cooking methods give surprising results, so are you saying that the Tuna is to mild a taste to be really good done that way or was the marinade and rub over powering the fishes flavour? Great Video as usual and is this the time of year when fishing run off is a good idea as last year I saw some really good videos over at Kurumba on doing that which seemed to point to it being fun and being productive? Mad Mullet certainly was a good guide and put you on the spots, Hey did he ever do time of Aussie Gold Rush? Cheers Garry and Looking forward to your next exploits

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

It’s difficult to say mate. The Tuna was just a bit of a surprise. I think we all expected it to be strong in flavour. But it wasn’t. It was the opposite. There was nothing wrong with it. But I wouldn’t cook it the same way again. Although maybe some extra time in the smoker might have given it a bit extra.

[@patrickaustralia528]

Hi Mickey. Do you ever fish the Adelaide River when you are in Darwin. My Br9 lives there and I went fishing up the Adelaide around Easter during the run off and did pretty well

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I’ve only fished the Adelaide once mate. We were down near mouth though. Got some good jewies.

[@TaiLayMienTay]

Quá hây 👍👍❤❤❤

[@patrickaustralia528]

Hi Mickey. Hope all is good post Cyclone. I read that Barra are closed season 7October to 31 Jan in the Gulf, does that mean you cannot target? What happens if you hook a Barra and it bleeds, do you still need to catch and release? What do you fish for at King Ash Bay during that time? Is the Barra fishing OK in late June or July in King Ash Bay? Any advice is appreciated. Cheers

[@patrickaustralia528]

Sorry about name, keeps auto correcting . Mikey

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Hi mate. We are on the Northern Territory side of the Gulf. We don’t have closed seasons for Barra fishing here.

[@chuckwagoncharlie1733]

Fill me in Goldies before ??

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Coldies mate. Goldies Before Coldies. You gotta catch a goldie before you’re allowed to crack your first beer for the day.

[@TroyH576]

Do your fishing shirts come in kids?? They look sick

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yes mate. Oh my website. All the way down to tiny kids sizes.

[@user-nq3ho7pj9y]

Sorry Mikey, love your videos but a lot of the locals are getting sick of your over dramatising the life and death struggle ? over this rain event. The guys at the servo were very well stocked with enough food to last for a month even if the fresh veges and milk ect was scarce. Please leave the main stream media to all the drama queen shit. Hope you take this comment on board for the future.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

There was a cyclone and some rain. The highways got cut off. We ran out of fresh food. So we went fishing. These are all facts. This is all I claimed to have happened. I tried to make an entertaining episode from it. Obviously no one starved. Everyone has plenty of dry goods and deep freezers. And the servo does a great job and still had plenty of dry and frozen stuff. If you listen to the ABC news interview I did I explained all this in detail that we had plenty of food stored and everyone is fine. Cheers for the feedback.

[@thesaltytravellers2869]

How much of the episode was aimed at there being no food, nothing !!!! You are like a little rattlesnake curled up in the grass beside a footpath just waiting to strike. If your life is so bad and boring you should try and do something about fixing it, not just waiting to attack somebody that’s obviously enjoying their life. Right now I am at the Newell Beach Caravan Park just north of Cairns and just waiting for the wet season to back off so I can come to King Ash Bay with my wife and caravan. We are doing this because Mikey has made King Ash Bay a must see destination for us. I am 58yrs old and love to spend my money in local communities where I know it’s needed. Do you have any idea how many other people just like me that plan to travel and spend their money in King Ash Bay because of what Mikey does on KZbin with Ash and the Mad Mullet ??? The shop and service station you talk about will do really well in the dry season because Mikey is driving a whole heap of customers into their driveway with every episode, grow up mate.

[@atmm89]

Mikey, in your opinion what is the great time to come over, thanks, Allan

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I could write a book on the answer to this mate... If fishing is your number 1 prioritoy, then probably April. But every time of year is good at King Ash Bay for different reasons.

[@atmm89]

coming around late May, June,hope to see you then@@MikeyCunninghamFishing
