Our New Favourite Reef

[@perigrine46]

Guys, I am up to 19.35 and have just seen the humpy footage, I had a very similar encounter between Seisia and Entrance Island, where we lived for two years, population 2, and I can totally know what you experienced as the humpy I had around the boat checked me out for half an hour and BLEW MY MIND. Two feet off the boat and rolled on its side to look at me, massive eyes, you have joined the "club of no return" with an experience like that.!! You will NEVER forget that one, welcome to the "Club". Absolutely awesome footage, I am so happy that you got that on film, but you will NEVER unsee what you experienced. LOVE your vids, Champions, WORLD CLASS.!!

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Isn’t it just an amazing experience hey !! We’ve heard they are friendly to dive with also but probably never something we will do. Thanks for the comments 🙌🏾

[@perigrine46]

Who needs a gym membership when you have a reef membership, absolutely AWESOME, AGAIN. You guys are legends on the reef. Just love watching your vids, crazy.!!

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

[@jefftrott5114]

Wow wow wow. Like you said, “it doesn’t get any better “ 😮

[@aaronh4475]

Yep, that’s the one!!! Amazing footage, fishing, weather and editing. Great team. Keep it up.

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Much appreciated Aaron 🙏🏽💯

[@pirththee]

This certainly was a special session. Great fishing, pretty much bucket list stuff for anyone in glass-off conditions with incredible water clarity. The whale encounter reminded me of one I had off the coast of Oregon. Nice job on the photography end too. I keep on asking myself why I live next to Lake Michigan.

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Cheers !! Was defo a special whale encounter, we saw loads on this day but none as friendly.. I think we’d be lost without the ocean close by !

[@Thirty2_1_Zero]

What an awesome Drop by you guys! Denim jean rippled water, encounter with an incredible creature in the Humpback, double hook up GTs, Pineapple Trout, more GTs n Coral Trout, Reds to envy over and some nice Nans, those fish tailing, and it just kept getting better from there! I would’ve been in with those Humpback’s in a flash, unique and so inquisitive creatures of the deep, very levelling, that moment when you hear them underwater, nothing compares! And Mary, your call “Ya got a wedgie!” after being so chilled watching the exchange with the humpback, cracked me up big time! What a call! Definitely given those Mavericks a good workout! 🎣 Froff level high 10’s/10. Love ya work guys!!

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Haha thank you so very much for the comment, it makes it all worth while for us 🙏🏽 !! We are having a ball out there … Will’s great at pulling out his wedgies 😂

[@Thirty2_1_Zero]

@@willandmaryoutdoors8645 so easy to see why you guys enjoy it so much, I’m hanging to get up to my Property full time and start getting into it! Paradise or Utopia, it’s both!

[@yaforfun]

Absolutely amazing day guys 👍🙏🏻

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

🤩 that weather was incredible!!

[@rickthefish3933]

You guys are so blessed, the beauty of the ocean must truly move your innermost emotions to another plain in time and space. It’s like you are one with the ocean, the deep sea gives you what you ask for because you are kind to the deep sea.

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Haha getting deep with emotions there, but to catch the fish you definitely need to be one with the fish 🎣

[@floutyourtrout153]

Hooolllly moley!!!!! How clear is the water and how good was the fishing! Sweet as!!! 👏 👏 👏

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Soooo very good ! Can’t wait to get back out there hey 🐋

[@michaelm5203]

Such a beautiful reef. Saltwater is just so foreign to me, being near middle of the USA Loving the videos

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

We are very luck and never take it for granted !! Love the freshwater stuff also 💯

[@johnnychowjc]

Perfect Sunday morning viewing! Awesome episode guys! Shame about the big wrasse!! They are tough fighters. Drone footage was amazing as usual 😊

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Awesome Johnny !! Cheers 🙌🏾

[@sledthepass]

Wow, you guys seem to step up the content every time ! That whale ! What’s the little set up with the bright yellow line ? Looks super agile and perfect for those pockets on the flats

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Hey brother. That little setup is a Saltiga 6000 + 10kg rod 👌🏽 light tackle back saver for the day 👍🏽

[@DaiwaAustralia]

Incredible video once again guys! Killing it! 🔥

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Cheers team !! Episode 2 is dropping next Sunday & it is going to be a banger …..!

[@veggieman_sa]

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

That’s for sure !! Not something that happens everyday 🙌🏾

[@robtaylorshotwater]

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Awesome ! Totally agree on the journey… each trip is special in its own way & we will never take that for granted, cheers for the feedback 🙌🏾🎣

[@Voltys_fishing]

@@willandmaryoutdoors8645 Hopefully lots who watch will appreciate how you release Top quality fish that most would take Guaranteeing future stocks of prize possession catches for you and next generations Fish of lifetimes Nothing wrong with taking a feed But like you said Even better watching them swim away

[@rillkelly7065]

OMG love that whole episode! The whales!!!

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

😍🥰 amazing experience hey !!

[@jemjemnosh]

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

We live for the water 💦!! Amazing big whale encounter 🐋

[@samkelly6231]

Spot on 😀

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Hey cheers super Sam 😃🍺

[@richardspinks6736]

Mint conditions ! Pretty epic . Where is that?

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Out of Mackay Nth Qld 👌🏽 was really just a bloody mint day!!!

[@JaneMandon-cp9ki]

Just …. Wow! To be so close to a whale, how lucky you are! But I did wonder, was it a bit scary?!?

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Haha Will was getting anxious about our boat & the fact that the whale was bigger then our boat 😂🐋

[@MsClara001]

Epic video...... what sort of drone are you using?

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

It’s a DJI mavic air 2 👌🏽

[@kymsteinhardt1063]

Great Video, Awesome weather and fish. Just wondering what Mary's Saltist rod and reel set up is that she caught the red at sunset on? Also what pound braid?

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Thank you ! The reel is a Lexa 400 spooled with 50lb J-Braid & the rod is a SALTIST Hyper SJB62-4 PE4. We run 100lb Saltiga Nylon Mono leader or the Nomad Panderra is also very good, hope this all helps 👌🏽

[@kelcook1624]

Great video, hoping to get out to the reef off Mackay here soon as well. With jigging do you spot lock or drift? I haven't had any luck yet as they end up drifting right back before hitting the bottom.

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Thank you. Umm both ! Casting up current & stay Spot locked until the lure is straight up and down under the boat and then start your drift.. try that option also🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kelcook1624]

Awesome, thanks. I will try that, never see people explaining how to use them

[@thano83]

Great video guys! What Saltiga 23 & gear ratio is on commander rod?

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Cheers ! It’s the Satiga 6000-XH gear ratio is 6.2:1 !! Amazing reel … love it !

[@TeddyBonewacker-ui2hw]

Teddy here from Alice Springs bro. That vid was next level! Do you take people out? Would love to join you guys one day

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Hey bro ! We haven’t got plans to do charters as of yet 🤙🏽

[@dannyroach955]

Another cracker.. that video was awesome.. but Will put the brakes on the wrasse next time hey lol guttered

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Lol more breaks required !!

[@troydebruyn3661]

Another cracker vid guys great to see U sending all fish back to depths too

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Cheers Troy ! We only keep what we need 🙌🏾
