Wonderful fish Bill!

Why would you only go for 2 days on a fishing trip of a lifetime?

Nice cod dude keep up the content ❤👍

What river?

Great video, Bill. I grew up with that very creek in my backyard and recognised many of the spots you were fishing. I caught my first trout in that stream and learnt the art of stalking and sight fishing trout there. Great memories!

too bad some fish in BM have a fair few worms.

That's was awsome hopefully some day I'll get the chance to catch one of these amazing fish

The way fishing should be

Nice

16:08 what lure is that?

Hey Bill, my old man is in the 50th edition copy of Freshwater Fishing with a brown from Purrumbete. He bought a soft copy at the newsagency and then when we went to the boat show (maybe in 2000?) you had a hard copy which he ofcorse has too :) He was trolling a celta (gold with green), Id have to ask him is he was downrigging.

Awesone video, Im in Warrnambool and decided I want to put time in here to get ny first Tover abd Chinook (and hopefully bass).

You must bring the fish to YOUR hand or YOUR net. If not, the guide caught the fish, not you. Sorry to inform you of this bit of ethics.

Thats not in the trout family

Minimal angling pressure... You obviously haven't been lately.

Hi Nige Love Your Show what pound braid where you using with your Soft plastic fishing up there ?

Don't worry tax payers pay for it ok it nit coming out of this guys pocket, he to is tax funded, working for the dole but just on crap loads more money 😅

Hi. At 4.34, can you please advise the name of that second peak showing above the tide peak line? Also, at 6.53 - can you please advise the preferred variant of the G-Shock watches? I see there are many models in this range… Thank you Cameron

Hi. What transducer was used in this video to display the 2D Sonar image? From 3.40, you mentioned “standard sonar cannot locate wonky holes…”. Can you elaborate on this? I thought what was being showed was actually standard 2D Sonar? Cameron

Thanks for the video. Last trip all we caught were grinners. How do you combat this pest? Jim

The older you get the more you realize fishing really doesn’t change was really cool to see someone older then me feel the same emotions that I feel when fishing the feeling of doing something wrong immediately washes over as soon as you catch the first catch from there it’s all up hill

Hi. Once snapper arches are seen on the sounder, and then spending time to motor back to near GPS mark, waiting for anchor to drop and then for boat to settle, etc… how likely will those observed snapper still be in that same location as previously marked?

Great video thanks

LOVE U BILL CLASSON!!!

I used to catch very large numbers of large Thread Fin Salmon over a meter long in the River down stream of Brisbane in the very early 80s onward. They have always been there but research has increased leading to the belief they were not there before. There used to be far more variety & size of fish in the Brisbane river systems prior to shallow reef damage South of the River Mouth due to coral mining, long term damage from close in trawling damaging sea grass areas & the development of Port of Brisbane removed or damaged grassy flats which had abundance of large prawns, many species dispersed or became smaller in general after its creation. But of course angling became more popular & everyone has a boat with a fish finder now so its no wonder fish stocks have been effected by this over the decades. The construction of Port of Brisbane made more habitat for larger species like Cod, Groper & Jew, & we have seen many changes in the river fish in the last 20 years.

Fishing with a gps isn’t fishing anymore

I'm 60 and my Dad taught me how to fish for blackfish ! He was a gun . And caught them all year round . Great clip mate . 👍🎣

The good news is it went all the way through my finger!💀

Is that at Balmoral Quay?

I went to wodford primary school and I’ve caught some decent sized trout

40 pound is the new light gear?!

wow the bridges are too low!

Good fishing, Nigel. But can I recommend keeping the fish out of water only moments? A matter of respect for our wonderful quarry! And I want to catch them next time I'm there, too!

Is the Yarra healthy enough to eat the fish you catch out of it? I notice no keepers.

Awesome video! Keep up the show, thanks for sharing the awesome adventure!

Ya mate dropped him,gotta keep ya rod high in the air once they're on!great vid i haven't had a go at the Blackie in over a year now...big fun to fish for!we use 12ft vintage fibreglass rods

What about the leader set up?? Sinker no sinker??

ahahahaha squid don’t have ink and he has water

That fish is dead now😢

Nice your video

Could you please mention rod reel and soft plastic details? Cheers

Great Video! Thanks a billion! What size of rod/reel did you use? Any suggestions on the color size of soft plastic, please?

im going there tommorow for the barra classics juniors. wish me luck 🎣🎣

Get real you blokes. Bill is 1 of the best fishermen and conservationists the country has. Made a blue with a pair of grips and all you pretenders jump on for a bashing. No idea. Cod are bred and released in record numbers. In all likelihood it will shake off those grips and get on with life. Clueless you lot. Prob never even caught 1

Fantastissss ..., Rilis abis, mantappp kawan .. 👉👍

How do you do that with the other person and

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That’s a swimming ciguatera factory 😂 what a fish. Great work 👍

Luar biasa spot mancing ikan kakap nya full strike dan di rilis kembali. Salam kenal dari indonesia

Unfortunately where I live there's an air port near by so I can't fly my drone Big schools of mulloway would concentrate in the really hot weather under a local jetty near by the mouth of a river About 40 to80cm but one on top of the other at a guess 80 to 100 fish if not more. The following year the beach had some well formed gutters and a couple of nicely formed deep holes, it reminded me of when I was 14 years old and we would catch mulloway just of our local beach It made me keen. I had crabbers tell me there's fish out there just chilling ,paddle boarders as well were seeing them in big numbers. That summer I fish hard and it paid off 30 fish over a 3 month period but not much for the first 2weeks but I worked it out in the end spending 2 to 3 hours and then home one night got 4 105 to 109cm On the average most fish were 78 to 92cm a year never to be forgotten my son would say the same . But what really sticks in my mind I went down one night at about 4am but the weed was to much as I was packing up to go I got a massive whiff of mulloway just like we used to get at the Murray mouth when they were thick they would rub up on each other the sweetest smell ever There must of been hundreds Seen them one afternoon while checking out the water as you do could see a massive school of mullet about 50m off shore getting herded by the big shadows I watched the school get smaller and smaller for about two hours till there was no school to be seen any more . I've seen them work with dolphins herding big schools of salmon on the south Coast of Adelaide Its good to see that they have made a return in good numbers
