Thanks for sharing such an awesome night of fishing. I am a new mad fisher, having had over 10 years off. The bug is biting hard again. Looking forward to catching up with more of your great videos.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks for watching! Heaps of great stuff on the channel that you should enjoy. Great to see your back into fishing

[@Doodsy1975]

Great to re-live it mate. A memorable night that one.

[@fishingmad]

Glad you enjoyed it !! Who knows what that last catch would have been aswell.

[@Doodsy1975]

@@fishingmad I'm more interested in what yours might have been.....I hate to say it mate.....but........I think it may have been.................ok I'll stop now.

Great vid once again Alan, I use to fish WP it was great for Elephants & Gummies. Keep them coming👍👍

[@fishingmad]

Thanks 👍 Will do. WP sure is great for elephants and gummies and other big stuff too !!

[@christineshaw9624]

The lord has posted once again

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Really cool Video Alan! I've always wanted to go fishing at night, especially out on the boat, looks mint

[@fishingmad]

Yeah its great, just really have to pick the right conditions. The sharks 100% are more active in the evening and night

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Exactly right. The conditions would definitely mean everything when you go at night

[@fishingmad]

100%

[@ljsfishing7717]

Awesome vid that was a big shark. Would love to see another princess pier snapper vid!

[@fishingmad]

Thanks, hoping to hit princess pier really soon. Snapper are very much hit and miss there this time of year

[@ljsfishing7717]

@@fishingmad what time of the year is best there?

[@fishingmad]

Usually between Feb and April is awesome, the water temp has dropped now so it gets a bit tougher from here for a while

[@kspfishing8370]

Good fishing bro

[@fishingmad]

Thanks 👍

[@SaMaNtHa.2023]

how cool is that would love to catch one so I can see for my self up front how Beautiful these marine species are.

[@fishingmad]

They sure are epic in person and its really hard to appreciate the size of the sharks on camera.

[@geoffcohen613]

have you caught gummies and or Elephants on soft plastics...

[@fishingmad]

Nah never got gummies or elephants on soft plastics before.

[@joltron1865]

Hi mate you mentioned this was point choas? Or maybe I misheard. I can't fint this on any fishing maps, assume it's off a channel can you give me a the rough GPS please? I can see you launched from Corinella

[@Boatboy2458]

Did u launch from stony point?

[@fishingmad]

Launched at Corinella, showed the pier we passed at launching at the start

[@johnnyaroha4246]

Hi Alan have just found your channel I am enjoying your vids what reels you running in the atomic arrows

[@fishingmad]

Glad your enjoying the content. Shimano Saragosa SWC 6000 and a Shimano Stradic SW 5000 both great reels for this sort of stuff.

[@johnnyaroha4246]

Thanks mate did you go for the Saragosa hg or pg

[@fishingmad]

Pretty sure it was the HG

[@dylandavies2847]

Not a bad session but my only question for all your vids is why you have your drag so light? The small fish shouldn’t peel your line as easy as what they are

[@matthewlee1383]

Was that on a full moon night by any chance Alan ?

[@fishingmad]

Yes 100% was full moon

[@matthewlee1383]

@@fishingmad haha! I typed that mid way through the vid then kept watching till the end and heard you say 'full moon'! What percentage would you say your trips are planned around moon phases ?

[@fishingmad]

All good. Historically I haven't done heaps of night fishing but will start to do a bit more of it. I think it fishes well on full moon as the sea lice are less active, and on this occasion it was so still which would have made the baits really stand out.

[@eugenecassar2887]

Is that an atomic rod you’re using Allan?

[@fishingmad]

Yep I had 2 atomic rods. 70MH Cheers

[@eugenecassar2887]

@@fishingmadnice I got 4 in the next size up for my Wp stuff. Great rods

[@fishingmad]

Agreed, great value rods. Very capable for an affordable price

[@eugenecassar2887]

@@fishingmad got mine paired with some 8500LL spinfishers which is a little overkill but ya just never know what’s gonna take your bait in that bay

[@fishingmad]

That's a great combo, yeah I use these as my lighter gummy combos. The heavier outfits are 20-50lb terez with Saragosa 8000 or Slammer 6500

[@matthewparker4101]

First !!!

[@fishingmad]

Legend !! Enjoy the Vid
