TUNA and KINGFISH on Poppers and Stickbaits - Melbourne VIC

[@skyliner33alb]

Mate I give you props for going out bass straight with that boat!! I went out today in my small 4.8 meter boat battling 4 meter swell out eastern entrance Phillip island. First and last time in that small boat 😳

[@Thrashin93]

Great video boys. Those pop queens are magic lures. Doesn’t matter what the target, when all else fails they usually get it done.

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thrashin93 thanks mate! Will be stocking up for sure after that!

[@fishermansoffice]

Definitely want to get onto kingies and tuna sometime. Looks like a great bit of fun as hard as 8t was this session. Great watch mate.

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thanks mate, appreciate it! We worked hard 😂

[@fishermansoffice]

@@PaulMalovFishing yeah sure looks like it hey haha.

[@fishinginthedarkwithcalebm3667]

Nice video mate those little kings looked like fun on light gear cheers

[@andrewfallon8019]

Good to see ya still going hard Mitch from fallon

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Mitchy is a gun for sure!

[@chiweesen6229]

Great video Paul and it's been a while since the last one. I'll see you on the water.

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thank you mate, yes a little while between drinks so to speak, but enjoying getting back out there again when time allows! What sort of fishing do you mainly do?

[@chiweesen6229]

@@PaulMalovFishing I fish mainly in PPB and only go after the game fish when I can find time too. Maybe we will meet at Princes soon. Tight lines.

[@harrisonbennett7421]

Awesome vid mate 🤙🏽 You should do a video on your boat and the setup. Keen to see what you’re running!!

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Harrison Bennett thanks mate. Will do if I get a chance to get out with Mitch next time. He is looking at moving that tinny on to something like a 460 Renegade

[@ddr0z]

Great work boys. I was out the western entrance Sunday and couldn't find a single school.

[@PaulMalovFishing]

ddr0z bugger mate! Sounds like there’s been a few down that way of late. I want to get out off Kilcunda and see if I can find them. In laws have a place there

[@markwhitford]

Awesome mate!! Can’t wait to do the same!! Great watch 👌🏼

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Cheers legend ❤️

[@findingjoe]

A very hard earned tuna there, can be pretty rewarding though to fight it out all day.

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thanks mate, haha yes definitely worked hard for that one! Nice channel by the way, subbed!

[@auslifeandy]

Just found your channel, Sick vid man, heading out to chase some tuna this week on a boat for the first time. Got lucky and caught a tuna landbased the other day in vic 🤙🏻

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thanks mate! Just watched that too! Haha how much do they love little jellybean lures! And those little trebles and not the assist 😬 subbed!

[@jojitletran230]

Cool Video Man Keep the Good Work

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thank you very much, appreciate it! 🎣

[@anthonycox1870]

Another awsome video champion. Just wanted to ask you about fishing the 6 inch gulp sand worm you had in your top 5 bream lures video. I have been having a lot of stress, as I get a great hit on them, only to strike and not hook up, but rip the plastic off the hook. Should I be striking as soon as the bite or line twitch, or should I give them a second or two to eat it more after the first hit, any help would be greatly appreciated on how you fish them.

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Hey Anthony, thanks for watching mate! The big thing i've found in those situations is there's a lot of smaller pickers that attack the worms. I often cut them down to 3-4" in length and retain the thickest part of the body and the skinny thin tail. The other thing can be, you might get a bite from a good fish, but they spit them out very quickly, so you need to strike right away when you feel a tick in the line. Are you fishing them on a weighted head or unweighted? Unweighted or a 1/40th hidden weight is my preferred method!

[@jakevelevski814]

nice vid bro thinking about getting one of those beast busters howd you reckon they would go off the rocks for salmon and rat kings do they have enough strength to lift them up a couple meters hahaha

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thanks Jake! For ~2kg salmon they’ll be fine to lift them up but any bigger and I think the softer tip could cause an issue mate. I’d probably want something a touch beefier

[@stevennaumovski8477]

Awesome video 🤙

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thanks legend 💪🏻

[@markjason4088]

Chappy doing Chappy things!

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Mark Jason haha always!!

[@ChasingFish]

Yewww awesome work mate 😍 looks like some fun fishing, hopefully we can bump into a school of something like that one day when we are out searching 🤞 how were they eating wise?

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Chasing Fish thanks buddy!! Eating wise, amazing fresh! Definitely need to be eaten in the first 3 days for best taste

[@123husky]

I want to catch large bluefin tuna by popping. Do you have any advice?

[@deantomac8819]

Great footage thanks. Cant believe people are still drive through schools of fish TO THIS DAY. FFS!

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thanks Dean! It was probably worse this year than same time last year 😩

[@fussybugger]

nice one fellas

[@PaulMalovFishing]

fussybugger thanks mate!

[@MrMrBirdman]

Awesomeness

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thanks Birdy! Great work the other morning too mate

[@MrMrBirdman]

@@PaulMalovFishing Mav still can’t get the smile off his face. He does think he might need to work out 💪🏼 before his next tuna as it nearly pulled him in😂. We got 11-12 on Saturday then on Monday Mav got his on his third cast. So much fun.. hope your well mate

[@MrAlGault]

What a ripper session. Its my goal this season to finally get out there and hopefully snag a kingie and tuna. What would your recommendations be for a rod/reel setup without a huge budget?

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Alastair Gault thanks Alastair, what kind of budget are you thinking though mate. Need some rough ideas and we can go from there

[@MrAlGault]

@@PaulMalovFishing starting around the $500 mark is where I’m at, willing to put more in for some quality but not sure if more coin is really going to be worth it

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Alastair - value for money, a 8000 Shimano Saragosa is hard to beat at around the $350 mark and then see if you can pick up a suitable rod for another ~$150/200. I’d look lightly used on some of the Facey groups, people always upgrading

[@trentshearer8434]

Hey bro what sort of boat are u running?

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Hey Trent, sorry for the late one, this was in Mitch’s old tinny, we both have Quintrex 460 Renegades now with 70/75hp Yamaha 4strokes

[@adyltd]

hows better the siglon adv compare to old siglon x8?

[@PaulMalovFishing]

So good mate! Going to get on to Tasline for the next few reels though, diameter to breaking strain looks amazing and also 8 strand

[@rofii13]

King Tuna Best,.. Indonesia came

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Thanks for watching! Good fishing to you!

[@damonneave3129]

Warrnambool hopkins river and thanks

[@PaulMalovFishing]

I’d use a 1/20-1/28th on a 2” - I find the lighter weights are a lot more natural on the sink and tend to not get stuck in the rocks as much as heavier heads like a 1/16th - 1/8th, but don’t cast as well with the lighter heads of course

[@damonneave3129]
