[@robertmartin4309]

Thanks for the lizars Mell Mallachi was thrilled to meet you.

[@grahameroberts9798]

As usual Mel, great video not only you catching the fish but your tuition as well, I’ve told my 11 year old grandson who loves fishing to watch your videos and learn how you do things, like weight size and not to be scared to change things around, keep up the good work Mel, you’re an inspiration to young and old, thank you

[@micksick24]

On ya Mel, that hook set never gets old 😂😂 love ya work

[@spikesfishing]

Best feeling ☺️

[@callmehank88]

Yum...flounder! 25cm and a b/l of 20. A light fry in some Tandaco lightly seasoned fish mix (whole fish), eat down to the frame, remove the frame and eat down to the plate. Delicious. 🧑‍🍳👌

[@spikesfishing]

Thanks Graeme! Glad you enjoy ☺️ PS you have won the Uncle Vinny’s giveaway! Congratulations 🥂 please get in contact with me via FB or email and I’ll send out your lures! 😂 mother in law fish! That’s not nice but they are a tasty and boney fish!

[@peterfenton6388]

Another awesome day on the Bay for you Mel. Keep it up. Love your channel

[@ramzv1035]

Mel’s mum watching this episode saying “few more for the swear jar” “I told her to take a bloody jacket”. Hahah great video as always thanks Mel

[@spikesfishing]

😂 the swear jar is “missing”

[@Fevzi_07]

Flounder… one of my favourite eating fish. Requires a little effort but I fillet them, coat with flour, season with salt and pepper and shallow fry. I totally agree with use of spot lock for anchor. Entertaining & educational as always. Thanks for sharing.

[@vtr4me]

Well done

[@spikesfishing]

Thank you

[@Jaykay196]

[@samuellemoyne4791]

Solitary fisho! Luv it!

[@whatsupshittafabraans1926]

Oie, sit back n relax✅I think that floating contraption my be a mooring lifter service rig, but I can’t focus at the moment, awaiting your trevalley ally and Artoffical reef bites, loving ya honesty ,

[@Mattblac]

[@martyalcorn8990]

[@DamianBrakel]

Thanks for another video Mel 👍

[@shanebeasley8191]

i took the fam out on Sunday but had to stick around the opening to the georges river because the wife and kids get scared from the smallest chop

[@user-scooter0069]

Hi Mel I think the flathead you referred to as a tiger is actually a bar-tailed flathead love your videos keep up the great work

[@spikesfishing]

Yeah you are right 👍🏽

[@catafadoe9099]

Hopefully I will go tomorrow to catch some flaty as well

[@sleepysopalsandprospecting6170]

Great video and very entertaining 👌 only commenting for the algorithm not give a ways. Cheers Sleepy

[@Olimont-l6s]

hey Mel do you bleed the flounders?

[@spikesfishing]

Yes I bleed everything when I finish the session

[@slavakosciusko]

Hi Mel! Is it possible to use a conventional anchor to fish the yarra bay artificial reef?

[@spikesfishing]

When I didn’t have an anchor I used to keep a reef anchor head in my boat with a U bolt for the artificial reef and also for tugs. Using a sand anchor could get snagged but if you have both you can quickly change the anchor over when you fish reefs 👍🏽

Keep the magic carpet + the best

[@Peter-wc4kr]

Wayne would love to go out to try out his new rod and reel.

[@grantthomas1818]

Mel...where's your lifejacket...??? The way you move around and stand on the seat sometimes, you could slip and hit your head...ONLY a lifejacket will save you...also maybe an EPIRB when outside the heads...Cheers...

[@spikesfishing]

No life jacket sorry. I have a epirb

[@Daniel-k7w2f]

great catch

[@Sikunt]

Any reason you use kyeegmah ramp instead of port botany? Kyeegmah is a good ramp I’ve never put in at foreshore dr but is a lot closer to the areas you fish

[@spikesfishing]

I hate the crowds and agro vibe there it’s just way calmer at Kyeemagh.

[@Sikunt]

@@spikesfishing fair enough pretty much same reason for me

[@spikesfishing]

Yep 👍🏽

[@ngocpham8129]

Are you allow to use anchor there?

[@spikesfishing]

Most boats that fish there are on anchor and I just did a google search for no anchor zones in Botany. There are a few spots where you can’t anchor I didn’t know about so yeah maybe have a look at the map online and it will help 👌🏽

[@ngocpham8129]

@@spikesfishing theres a few nice spot i know that you cant anchor up... love the 1hour video. thankyou for upoading

[@glenn5077]

Good work Mel do you know you can turn off your trails you don't have to delete them haha sorry had to put that in 😂😂😂😂

[@artsyork3915]

Flounder, magic carpet. That made me laugh.

[@dennisflemming826]

Sole not flounder, a bit gooey but delicious fish A grade tucker . Love the show cheers

[@nigelpalmer6415]

Fish don't like sunscreen rub some scent on your hands after keep up the good work 🎉
