Whitsunday Odyssey: Towing Big, Fishing Bigger!

[@imeyouthem9303]

Nice fishing ... But boken rod courtesy of some serious high sticking!!!!

[@OBM1770]

Yeah absolutely, no fault of the rod at all. They are bloody tough. Just trying to get the shark up for some footage and or get the jig back. 👌

Absolutely brilliant Eddie & Snez! What brilliant pair of rigs you’ve got now with the van & the muffdiver travelling in tandem. You certainly go to some special places to fish. Really enjoy your down to earth channel & great Aussie humour. Bloody job well done again! Cheers

Oh yeah ! Truly one of the best productions from OBM 🍺 what a set of conditions out there, and just the essence of freedom which you call content, but made to look so cool. very well done Snezza . You're a gem with safety in handling the deep end of towing. great work. tbcontinued = effin' great 😛🦘 really nice when the best mate calls "lets go mate" Thanks, thanks for the hr long odyssy.

Awesome episode Eddy and Snez with some great fishing thrown in. I wish we had some good weather the last time I towed the rig up to Dingo Beach.

[@OBM1770]

@@foolishchookthat is certainly one thing that can make or break a big tow. Do you put in at Dingo or two into Airlie?

[@foolishchook]

@@OBM1770 Launched at Dingo Beach but the weather wasn't on our side for a wide trip. Some good fishing around the islands and just like Clairview, you are dependent on the tides.

[@johnsykes706]

Hey Ed, great episode again. I will say though every rod I've seen you break has been on a shark. Given the quality of the rods I don't think the Berserker is worth getting back. If you want to though, point the rod straight at it and vertical pump using the reels drag only if you really want to get it to the boat. The vertical pump without winding is also a good way to get a trout that's bricked you back out of it's hole.

[@OBM1770]

Thanks mate. Yes good advice mate. Berserkers are cheaper than rods 😁

[@colinwhiting5410]

Snez and Eddy another great one that’s why I love your channel and you can see by the people you meet in you travels that follow you. Mate ever thought of investing in a Fuel and Fishing Tackle business 😂😂😂😂 .A long way to tow we used to do from Adelaide to Narooma each year 20hrs towing a boat one way 😛 some really nice fish you need a bigger esky 😂enjoy waiting for next one. Cheers Wombat🐾🎣🍻🥂

You want big horse glamour Reds mate ? Fish rubble bottom that show slight lumps and drift over the country with baits down when your out there . When you pick one up, mark the spot continue drifting until you get nothing , then move back up to the same spot you began ya drift at. 50 meters in the colder months and out to 70 meters in the hotter months.
