Snapper and flathead fishing in Port Phillip Bay 

HEY YOU merch now available on Red Bubble: www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Hey-You-by-robbiefishing-by-RobbieAlex/81288938.EJUG5

First saltwater fishing I've seen on this channel. Nice to see👌

Mantis shrimp are one of my fav animals. There are 2 general types, they one you caught had the hard numbs and shatters crabs shells to feed on. The others have a spear and spear fish. The one you caught can hit so fast that it separates water with a shock wave and crest sparks in the air pocket. They are incredible.

Nice robbie look forward to the vido

Mantis shrimp mate get heaps of them up here in the Northern Territory

Not going to lie Robbie, your knowledge or lack of should I say for Saltwater was really refreshing and honest. Love that you are always yourself, hope one day to share some knowledge on a bank one day, even if we are on opposites yelling at one another to do it lol

So excited to watch this video Robbie 👍

Mantis shrimp. We pump them out of the sand for bait. The bream love them. Never seen one that big.

would not believe it if someone said robbie fishing went fishing in my home town. in saltwater. good stuff mate

Good to see a bit salt water fishing it’s great fun. well done looks like you had a great time

Never expected to see this on this channel what a pleasant surprise

Never too old to learn ❤️

Well done Robbie. Great to see you in the salt water. I laughed everytime you went to real it in, you grabbed it with your opposite hand as you fish left handed with your normal rods.

You got a really calm day, I’ve seen bigger waves in my bathtub. Great to see you on the salt water.

Been waiting for this video to come out bloody ripper a Robbie fishing in the salt water. 😁👍

What a great day I'm so happy for you getting to do that 😎

That's Awesome Robbie!!! Glad to see you on the Dark/Salty side!! (You can touch toadies. Best part to touch them with is the tip of foot on a drop punt!!" LOL, Its a joke.)

Awesome finally after all these years a saltwater video

Good to see you in salt water. Robbie. I am from the Gold Coast. But still love your fresh water videos. Big fan of all you do.

Lotsa "Missed Him" Robbie. Great to see you do some saltwater stuff too.👌

This is one of favourite videos I have seen I go to port Phillip bay all the time

Scott ticked all the vicco fishing boxes 1 - aldi bag 2 - surfing vic sticker 3 - relaxed attitude

Great to see you've been continuing improving in health over covid

I have been waiting for this saltwater vid for my whole life. WORTH IT!

Nice video Robbie, This is this is my regular kind of fishing, I watch you because I get too see some Freshwater native fishing that I dream about and look forward too. Very cool to see you do this for a change, good job!

That big prawn looking thing you caught is a Mantis Shrimp. I’ve NEVER heard of anyone catching one on a hook, so there ya go mate, you’re a one-off bloody legend!

Awesome on the weekend went to tathra and caught a few tiger flatheads largest at 60cm and saw a great white while at it

Salt water video nice

Hi Robbie lived in Melbourne for 50 years moved to Queensland been here for two years now went on a fishing charter out of Airlie beach today and caught possibly 30 red Empre‘s and they taste amazing much better than any freshwater fish I’ve ever caught 😃👍🏻

Loved the video Robbie, I love the salt ,don't do it enough

I can already tell this will be an awesome video, been waiting for this one! Keep up the awesome videos!

Good to see you on the salty mate. I hope you enjoyed it. Many more to come I hope. Cheers take care.

there's no doubt about it this is a good reaction video

So glad to see a salt water video haha. I hope there is plenty more to come!

Grilled Snapper is delicious!

Mantis shrimp are real cool you can hear them clicking in aquariums they stun their prey plenty of videos on them. My auntie had one for ages and we used to go and feed it when we were kids. Was a cool video mate enjoyed that. Was very different 👍👍👍👍👍

'NFI fishing trip', lol knew that as soon as I saw your first effort baiting up a pillie! You looked a little out of your depth in the saltwater at first and I wouldn't be telling anyone the first catch was a toadfish! Well done on your first snapper! You don't ever want to get spiked by a flathead either, it hurts like you wouldn't believe. That mantis shrimp should have gone back out as bait! Looks like you had a great time though!

Thanks Robbie, another top video

Love your vids mate, would love too see more vids of saltwater fishing I'm predominatley a freshwater fisho myself but want to do more in the salt. Great video and a top day out

Welcome to my world. Great to see you out out the ocean. Looked like a popular area with all the other boats. Nice catch there with the mantis shrimp

Thanks Robbie. I really enjoyed this episode. I should of set you up with my brother he just caught some awesome snapper yesterday.

G’day Robbie, first time seeing you in the salt and Briney , so, so good to see mate. You were like a duck out of water in that boat lol. I love watching all your videos in and around your familiar surroundings in the fresh water as I don’t normally fish the fresh myself and love to learn from you. Thanks again for sharing another great video…

I love how a trout/cod catching master like yourself having a blast in a different environment! Would love to see more of this haha

Enjoyed this vid.

Great stuff mate. Enjoyed the whole video . Well done. Scott is also a legend 👍👍👍

Love you videos and nice to see something different keep up the awesome work cheers Robbie

Loved it mate

Awesome! Absolutely loved it. This is my favourite video from you so far I reckon. Great to see something different, I’m hopping to hit the salt water at Christmas. On another note, who knew a big yabbie could draw blood 😂, found that out in last video. Haha Great job robbie

Absolutely love this Robbie... I myself like to fish rivers and lakes and no nothing at all about deep sea fishing its scares me to be honest but watching you give it a go and seeing this video was very interesting and look like so much fun never no what fish your going to pull up.. keep em comeing

Gotta love salt water fishing Great job mate

Nice work Robbie

Robbie !! I’m impressed salt water video !

Great stuff Robbie! Just subscribed mate, love the enthusiasm mate!

Thats a nice Mantis Shrimp, quite tasty.

Good to see you out to sea. Australia really has a lot of variety of fishing. Up here in SE Qld I'd be setting a couple of crab pots on the way out, or a dilly near the boat if not too deep.

Great video mate, so jealous I love both species . I can taste the beer battered flatties already. Keep up the great work.

Great video mate, good to see you hitting the saltwater. Hope to see more videos like this 🤙

Looks like your having a great time Robbie. Salt water fishing is a whole different ball game.

Mantis shrimp Robbie, very yummy. Great bait also.

I had a great laugh watching this fella's great video 👍

Pretty awsome fun

Great to see ya out in the salt Robbie! Got to love the diversity of things you can catch out there, I'm always catching weird stuff I haven't seen before. Loved the vid mate, hope you do a few more salty ones haha Aussie salmon off the rocks on light gear is so much fun, you'd love it ;)

Something different eh. Good laugh. Cheers robbie

It's funny seeing such an amazing fisherman so clueless in the saltwater area

When you send a cod fisho to the sea.. we got no idea.. good video something different and relatable. Good work mate

Great vid very enjoyable and so different to freshwater in a lot of ways. I still get excited every time I catch something and remember them all or think I do. Even got excited the other day when I caught a shrimp on worms on a rod. My very first. Lol. I’ve yet to match wife’s recently caught 1030 mm cod at Copeton. That’s a place you should visit just for the scenery. Keep up the great work

Really enjoyed this!

Robbie, someone needs to get you onto some monster offshore fish. That would be entertaining to see

Awesome to see you fishing in saltwater mate, hope you do it more often 🐟🐟😁😁

Wow too stuff mate great to see you doing something different I really hope you enjoyed yourself out there. Your going to be hooked on saltwater fishing now..

More Saltwater fishing Robbie!!!!!!

thats a nice size snapper for your first one! love all the vids and keep up the great work!

love the work mate :)

Now this is the fishing I’m used to haha !!! Love the change up, stoked you got some and that Mantis Shrimp was awesome. If you ever wanna target land based snapper we have some secret spots :)

Robbie! I’m amazed that such a distinguished fisherman such as yourself has never indulged in the salt variety!!!!

Great video robbie

Finally!! Good to see you out in the salt Robbie 👌🏼 good on ya!

well done Robbie, one time i went fishing up near Coffs Harbour, we were pulling 45 centimetre flat heads up 2 at a time, we fed 3 families dinner for a week with the fish we caught, it was weird because we had a radio on board and we could hear the other boats talking to each other, all of them were saying how they were catching nothing, my brother, father and i couldnt pull them up quick enough, anyway, it turned out that we had apparently drifted in to a national park or something like that where fishing was prohibited, and thats why the fishing was so good, felt a little guilty when i found out, but, all that lovely tasting fish helped me get over it.

Great video mate love the change to offshore

I would love to see more of these vids robbie

Yeww!! ya made it to the salt water.. love the vids mate.

Luckily you don't do the old Rex Hunt trick 💋 that shrimp apparently packs a punch equivalent to a 22 😂 Perfect pan sized pinkie 👌 great to see You in the salt 👍

Great vid Robbie loved the vid. Next time you go to salt water you should make another vid.

Also glad your restrictions have been lifted down there and you can travel freely

That's kind of the way we do it in the state of Washington out in the Puget Sound with herring catching salmon

Nice Catch Robbie

Next time Robbie, fillet a puffer fish and put the fillet on, best snapper bait I've found to date.

Iv been watching for a couple yrs now and it’s just doesn’t seem right watching u fish in the ocean haha 😂 good vid mate

Good to you having a go at salt water species

The video we have all been waiting for

Goo day Robbie love the vid mate keep it up like that you did a video on saltwater

I didn't know we had mantis shrimp in our waters! Wow haha looks like your out safety beach way? About 6km off the shore line it becomes the snapper breeding grounds. You'd need bigger rods for sure though 15-20kg is the norm. Fished there for 15+years, home was Mt Martha

I was down from wodonga fishing in Port Phillip as well on the weekend haha. Bagged out on calamari was awesome

That was unreal to watch mate! I'm hoping to do some fishing in the salt myself in the coming months, but I reckon I have even less clue what I'm doing than you did hahaha. It sure looked beautiful out there. Great work and nice catches mate.

That was awesome hahaha! You've done very little saltwater fishing and you've managed to beat my pbs hahaha! I've held pufferfish many times still don't know if they are harmless to hold or harmful. Great work out on the bay Robbie.

Robbie you caught a mantis shrimp and are very good to eat.

I've watched you since I found your channel through fisho and I've not once seen you saltwater fishing, it's very strange but great to see robbie

I grew up fishing western port bay for all the same species you caught. You carried on like I do when I catch a trout or a yella in freshwater! Lol

hi robbie that is a female manta shrimp very rare in the area good job

This is great unk
