[@saltwaterfishingnq]

Hey brother for the drains Go on a smaller tide at low when theres no run. Between 1.5 to 2m. That drain u were at wait till the gates down also can be good barra there pressed up against it waiting for it to open.

[@abhooked]

Thanks man appreciate it 🙏

[@abhooked]

One of your video convinced me to do this vodeo. 🤙

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@abhooked tbh I haven't hit the drains in months as everyone gives it too me saying "is that the only place you fish" so been going to creeks and beaches to mix the content up but then you go and upload this - makes me wanna go do another drain sesh video 😅

[@goldyandrobbo6540]

Very awesome. I’ve always wondered about that rock wall in that park

[@junsadventures]

Great video mate 😍 drone shots look unreal!!

[@abhooked]

Thanks man appreciate it 🙏 hey can we fish that lake behind that big Vinnies store ? I want to put my boat in there and sound it out 😆😆😆

[@kane2301]

There is barra off that marina rock wall, got some grunted there before too but as you say urban fishing is hard

[@peterdaalman462]

Great video Matt some days are harder than others .

[@DavidNatoli-vg6jm]

Relatively new to the ville as well. I'm limited to land based. Where about was that rock bar? Wouldn't mind giving it a crack sometime.

[@abhooked]

Behind a park on Queen rd dont know what the park is called 🤷

[@DavidNatoli-vg6jm]

@@abhooked google maps to my rescue. Cheers mate!

[@kizzjd9578]

Ive caught barras there in the past on medium tides and just as the water starts to hit the top of the rocks

[@cameron7148]

Bicentennial Park mate

[@FNBADVENTURES_FNB]

We used to catch monster barras in those drains and a little creek under the pipelines heading out to blue water, watch the big crocs but you have to balance on the pipelines to fish, better at night but watch for big hungry lizards 🦎

[@MuaithaiGuy]

Good to see you care about that flattys jaw when you grabbed it with the pliers.

[@hitmissfishing6552]

12:55 that place use to be amazing spot flat head n barra queenfish all the time

[@jesusblessthesecommentsamen]

Fish the edge of the break wall on the right next to that pilon at night. 95cm Barra of there always get some when I’m up there and tuns of finger marks grunter ect alpine wier when it flows big Barra but popular now

[@chrishudynski2934]

Fish the Rock walls out back of Casino! Always produce Barra when I come up for work

[@jetmen101]

im new to Townsville i went for a good long walk along ross river today and came up with nothing any tip on where i should start looking

[@nicholasmanis3213]

What park is that mate.

[@allanotoole3304]

Hi Matty this is something different from you (love it) I might do the same thing tomorrow. I’ve never left my rod at home before only the reel😂Al

[@abhooked]

Haha yeah unbelievable hey. 😆 thanks Allan thought I'd try something different.

[@warwickmilne3149]

6:35 dont listen to the sign made from the mariner karens club. ive fished there since a kid and will continue to dont let the snobs in those house out the front tell you different

[@abhooked]

Yeah its bs 🙄 I reckon.

[@Whatsamacallit]

Actually Robert Towns was just the money man from Sydney and only visited Townsville once and said it’s full of bogan woman and not to name the town after him. It was Black and Ross that come up from Bowen to start a new port. 👍🏻 And that spot behind the old dump site was prime back in the day.

[@abhooked]

Thanks man good to know, I just google it and that's what pop up, so that's how Ross river got it's name?

[@Whatsamacallit]

@@abhooked yep, and the Ross Island hotel. 👍🏻 Bowen was going to be the Capital of North Queensland but they couldn’t get shit across the Burdekin during wet season so they went and started Townsville.

[@ThomasAtkinson-jz6pj]

Struth Gido you be a long way from home

[@ThomasAtkinson-jz6pj]

Try the bride at Oonooba Rooneys

[@sethgingerninja1318]

Matty my son caught a barra in the lagoon behind fairfeild.

[@sethgingerninja1318]

Sorry its naomi by the way

[@abhooked]

That's awesome thanks Naomi 🤙

[@rededge7968]

Hey mate. Its your choice but I would remove the drone footage of the strand and northern side of ross creek. Only needs someone to report to CASA. Even minis require licensing and permits in this area

[@LunaHenry-zf9my]

Hi I am Luna I live in townsvile and you should fish on the jetty

[@abhooked]

Thanks Luna I'll check it out 👍

[@kizzjd9578]

Few weeks ago i took the boat to pallaranda ramp but was too rough, so i drove to loam island only to find that id forgotten my lures lol so I just went home instead 😂

[@abhooked]

Yeah I felt like an idiot 🙄

[@KobiEdwards]

Can I fish with u on your boat

[@abhooked]

I don't know 😕 you might end me 😵☠️ and use me as crab bait 😬 😝🤪😜

[@patrickmcmanus5373]

Thank God you said nightshift because I was about to ask what drugs are you doing because I will avoid them😂. Believe it or not Sydney is better fishing than Townsville because they stopped the trawlers 20 years ago. I know the pros hate that but the fishing in Sydney is way better than here. I have fished Townsville since 1973 and it's the worst now because of the professional fishing and illegal nets etc.

[@kizzjd9578]

Cant fly over traffic or people mate. Hopefully casa doesnt see this video

[@abhooked]

Nah she'll be right 👌

[@jaydenneger3352]

[@abhooked]
