I've just watched this three times back to back to back. It was a great day mate, and thanks for letting me make a flog of myself on your excellent show.

@fishingmad 3 года назад

LOL, your contribution was invaluable mate. I'm so glad you enjoyed the vid. Fishing is a really tough sport and trying to get footage regularly is a really challenging process. To capture moments like that is what makes it all so good. I think you did great on camera and know exactly what to expect next time around. Cant wait for my new rods to arrive and than i feel as if im really ready after learning a lot this year.

@hangyu0211 3 года назад

That snapper is absolutely huge! Well done! Another new reel? Wow, how many setups do you have in all? Maybe a review of your gears will be interesting too. : )

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Yeah that snapper was amazing. It was such a pleasant suprise as we were targeting gummies. The revolution inshore reel ive had for 12 months that was the new Stradic SW reel which was pretty good. I actually have a couple of new rods on order this week perfect for targeting gummies and snapper, so i might cover those and other setups in a vid. Thanks for the positive comments and have a great night !!

@jaredbuttigieg 3 года назад

Haven’t been in a few weeks to be honest. I’m hoping to get out this weekend.

@fishingmad 3 года назад

awesome, I hope you get out and catch a few. I too haven't fished the last 2 weekends. Been really cold and my kids have been unwell. Hoping to also get out this weekend. Lets hope we get some decent weather. Might have to target some trout soon with the cold snap

@jaredbuttigieg 3 года назад

@lazzamorty5985 3 года назад

Great session !! Westernport can pack a few surprises & is a tricky one to master but looks like you are on the way there .. that second snapper was in prime condition, beautiful fish. So, Saragosa series still has the edge over the Stradic SW ?

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Thanks !! Yeah Western Port is a fascinating fishery, i will 100% spend more time fishing here where I can. I like both reels, i do like the Saragosa more. The drag sound and durability seems better to me than the Stradic SW. But the nice light compact size of the stradic SW is great. A hybrid of both would be amazing.

@hansulrichjohner2694 3 года назад

Do you not eat sharks? The Germans make a specialty called "Schillerlocken", smoked fillets of small sharks, they are so good, I even found them back home in Switzerland! If I will ever catch a shark, I will keep it! Very nice video!

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Hi Hans, yeah we sure do keep shark to eat. Locally its flake which is a very highly rated eating fish. On the channel we show a lot of catch and release just to help keep our audience aware of making our fisheries sustainable. I will 100% look into the Schillerlocken sounds delicious.

Some awesome snapper there Alan, great reward for braving the cold conditions. How are you finding the Stabi?

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Thanks !!! 100% was worth the effort. Couldn't stop smiling for a few days. The Stabicraft is a beautiful fishing vessel. Its my mates boat and I really wished I owned one. The stability, the cabin space, the engine control, and all the extras. I can see why they cost a fair bit as they are very impressive.

@johnsipolis 3 года назад

Some great catches of the Big Reds Alan, how do they compare in taste to the pan size what i normally catch? No complaints though, still good fun. They seem to be bigger in Port Phillip Bay than the ones up here in SE QLD.

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Hi John, thanks for the nice comment. The taste was fantastic, so much meat on the fillet, but not dry at all. The mid 30s and 40s are prob still the best for eating. Were pretty lucky we get some great size ones down here

@davobloke3967 3 года назад

Great video Alan as usual. very exciting. Is the drag on the Saragosa stiff? I just bought a Penn Slammer 3 and the drag seems very stiff. You can't really back it off much

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Thanks !!! The Saragosa is fantastic, the drag sound is amazing and the drag is quite sensitive so you can set it to your exact liking. I probably like it the most out all all the salt water reels I've used lately.

That is a bloody massive snapper Alan, absolutely huuuge. Well done! How did you cook it?

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Thanks Kieran, yeah it was a ripper. I usually scale and gut them, score it than bake them in the oven with butter, garlic and wine. One of those snapper didn't actually fit in the oven so I filleted it and had a snapper curry which was a first but really delicious.

How much longer is the snapper season in the bay? These fish are alreadt quite late season arent they?

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Yeah these are very late. Snapper season is usually between Oct-Mar. These are a few winter snapper. The worlds best bycatch when targeting gummy sharks

@MichaelScerri147 3 года назад

Great job Alan once again.... I live in Clyde about 15min from western port but never fished there, I always go out to ppb. So roughly what do you look for out there before anchoring up?

@fishingmad 3 года назад

Hi Michael, thanks for the positive feedback !! Yeah i too have spent most of my days fishing in PPB, but have been fishing at WP quite a bit in recent times. Some of the spots we have fished have been luck. These snapper were caught in only 4 meters deep, we anchored up in a spot that had great water run in as the ide went from low to high and we could see channel entrances and sandbars disappear. Was more a hunch that we though fish would need to swim through here as the tide changed. I'm keen to do more at western port and really hone in on what the good spots are.

@Doodsy1975 3 года назад

If you live in Clyde, you are not far from Tooradin ramp mate. Which is close to many great areas. Whiting, gummys and snapper, along with stacks more species can all be caught in the Tooradin channel, which meanders out from the ramp, and is 7km long, out to the main channel. Western Port is much harder and more challenging to fish than PPB, but the rewards are there if you persist and put some thought into it. Tides are what Western Port is all about. If you can work out how the tides work, how it affects the fishing, how the wind and the tide together can affect the conditions and know what to look for on your sounder and GPS, you're well on your way. I basically only fish PPB for squid and flathead now. WP is so far superior in my opinion. Give it a go mate, and happy to help you out with some advice and some good areas to start too.

Anyplace you recommend catching big snapper around geelong or close to geelong I’m just starting doing boat fishing thanks

@fishingmad 2 года назад

Surprisingly you often get good size snapper just outside of waterfront in geelong. Corio bay is very productive grounds at the moment whiting will be the most catches and the occasional snapper, having a good sounder and spending some time looking for them will help greatly. We do have some marks in our members area which might be helpful as a starting point. Cheers
