@@CamBill_ROBLOX Cheers! It was great just to get out on the water. Crap weather and work are wreaking havoc on my fishing lately.

@@dingydate Ha ha 🤣 One bloke cut in front of me while motoring away from the boat ramp. He clearly hadn't seen me so I knocked the boat out of gear so he could pass. When he finally noticed me he apologized and gave me a wave, but the wave put him off balance and tipped him over 🤣 They're frustrating but not all bad.

@@joshobrien7708 Thanks Josh! We bought the canvas version.(As opposed to the lighter fly material) I'm a big fan of canvas because it reduces the chance of dew forming on the inside. The downside of canvas is its heavier and more expensive. We love the tent, it's been through some windy and very wet trips and hasn't let us down. I find the build quality very good 👍

@@hamishbf8352 Hi Hamish, I'm not familiar with the Profish brand so I can't offer any opinions on the boat itself. Generally speaking though, a 5.5m plate boat is fine for offshore. I still have to pick my days in a 6m boat and a 5.5 wouldn't be much different. Before buying my boat I joined a few Facebook pages for specific boat brand owners. It gave me good insight into the common faults or positives for each boat brand. We don't generally fish far off Brisbane. Most of our fishing is between 30m and 90m deep. On rougher days we just stick closer in. I highly recommend taking any boat for a test drive before buying one. I hope that helps.

@@adamneeson thanks Adam, appreciate your reply mate. I will look into it further. I plan to hit off shore Bris and GC seaway so I’m assuming similar grounds you’re covering. What conditions would you consider just good enough to head out in? Cheers

@@crikeymacca Thanks Macca!

@@adamneeson cheers mate I will see if I can go

@@CamBill_ROBLOX Thanks CamBill!

@@dougs_urbanfarm Thanks Doug! We tried to look it up while we were out there, we think it might be a Sooty Albatross?

Thanks Dota! The boat is a Bar crusher 615c. I absolutely love it because it's an all rounder, I can fish 400mm of water for whiting one day and then fish offshore in it the next. It's not perfect for everyone, but it's perfect for me. The bunks are a little short but will still sleep two people comfortably. I'm 6 foot and fit in on a bit of an angle. The best advice I can offer is check out a few different brands and models to see what suits your style of fishing the best. Jump into them and consider storage, bunk length, driving position, windscreen height for visibility, fuel usage, tank size etc. I hope that helps.

Thanks Dota! I prefer the over head because the line isn't slapping on the sides like it does with a spin reel. I wanted to put an Alvey on it but there was resistance from the deckie's 🤣

Hi Jeffrey, the comment you're referring to was a subtle dig at the healthy shark population in general. We're not complaining about protected species, just having a good old winge because we were frustrated. We release sharks because we respect them and the part they play in the ecosystem. I'll try eating a small shark eventually but it won't be out of hate or frustration.

@@adamneeson All good, its just that its the same "joke" nearly every local youtube fisho makes. You do well made great content so thanks and sorry if my pet hate annoyed you. I do get triggered by anti green zone and the like comments😂

@@jeffreyherba8435 No worries at all Jeffrey. We all have our pet peeves, mine is fish going to waste. If I'm not going to eat or use it for bait then it goes back. I'm glad you're enjoying the content 👍

Thanks Cam! It's like watching a waiter bringing your food to your table but he gets tackled from the side halfway across the room 😂

@@adamneeson great way to put it hahahaha

Cheers Doug! I agree, we were ecstatic as kids to even see a shark. It seems the sharks have really started to boom the last five to ten years. I don't begrudge the sharks a feed, but it's frustrating when they don't eat the Mac tuna but then smash wahoo and Spanish in a blink.

Hi Isaac, for the Dart we used both pippies and beach worms. For the tailor we used salted bonito strips.

@@adamneeson cool thanks mate🤙

Hi Mate, I love the cheezels idea! Thanks for that info. Sounds like you have put way more time into chasing them than I have. I'll keep a mental note of those tips. Also, I been a bit frustrated with the lack of availability of higher end pencil floats, I'll definitely have a look online and see what the southern states have 👌

Hey bud you got specific spot land based for these tasty dorsals??as we call them piper where I come from and wouldn’t mind a feed of these now and then Cheers

@@adamtuara8667 G'day! When I was a kid we used to fish for them off the rock jetty out the front of the wynumn/manly swimming pool (the tidal one) That was 30 years ago though so my Intel isn't recent. Raindogred's comment above this might give you some starting points if you're based around the Gold coast. Other than that I'm not much help for land based I'm afraid.

Thanks Lloyd

Ha ha! Tuna oil is horrendous to get off things, and the smell is an 'acquired' taste 😆 I didn't consider the float when I poured it over the bread. That float is now only for burley. I can only imagine what your boat was like! Yep, luckily I fished him out back at the boat ramp on an angle. I was relieved the floor didn't have to come up!

Thanks! Give it a go, it's simple but great fun. I enjoy watching the float, not sure why but I find it relaxing.

Cheers Macca! I de pooed a few but they weren't real full so I didn't bother with most of them. Only one or two made a mess in the vacuum sealed bag.

@@adamneeson yeah I just think their gut rot out more once defrosted if you leave it in. They’re great fun to catch. You’ve got it sussed mate

Not really Jack, the boat used under 10 litres for the day. I don't fish to save money though lol, I fish because I love the experience. The fresh seafood is a bonus.

Thanks Mark! They'd be unreal live bait 👌

Hi Smithy! What's the best way you've found to clean them? I'm always keen to try different methods.

@@adamneesona proper fish scaler bag will save you alll that time

@@adamneeson Hey Adam. Before you head in give them a wash to get rid of all the left over ink. Once you get home, just use your fingers and push the top bone out through the skin, pull apart the flap holding the head in and just nicely pull the head out towards the apex of the cuttle. Spin it around and pull the skin off and done. I just throw the wings away as they are tiny, ironic to my comment above about wastage lol.

@@smithys3512-lg5yx Cheers Smithy, I'll give that way a go next time. I've ordered a scaler bag to try out too, anything that reduces the ink is a win 🤣

Cheers Macca!

Thanks Chris! The ink is part of the cuttlefish thrill 🤣

Thanks! I find the cuttlefish much easier to cook without ruining it. I've never quite mastered cooking squid, but they've only been arrow squid. I'm yet to catch a tiger squid to be able to compare primo squid with cuttlefish. We have cooked cuttlefish a few different ways now and it's always come out tender and tasty.

We just call them poor man's squid in WA but honestly, not a huge difference.

Thanks Chris! Whiting was my first fishing passion and they will always be my favourite. I prefer the last three hours of the incoming tide and the first two hours of the runout. My favourite period is the last 2 to 1.5 hours of the incoming tide. Worms worked best that trip, they normally do. Occasionally the yabbies come out on top so I always like to have some onboard. If you're local to the gold coast Broadwater you're very lucky. The fish down there seem to grow much bigger. My theory is that the food down there is more abundant. It can't rain forever so the fresh will clear up eventually! I'll try and do a few more whiting vids, they seem pretty popular and I enjoy fishing for them.

I agree with your old man, they are my favourite whiting bait. I only wish they were easier to dig!

Cheers Stephen!

@@adamneeson thanks man nice to see you young fellows doing what we did 30/ 40 years ago keep up the good work mate on the Bay. ✌️👍🍻😁

Thank you for the compliment!

Thanks Glenn! I agree with you. The blood worms out fish every other bait, including cribb island worms. Digging them is worth the effort but it takes some commitment.

That was a fantastic session Adam ;) totally enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing mate

@@mylurebox Thanks for the nice compliment! I'm stoked you enjoyed it 😁

Thanks Cam! Yep, digging worms is almost a sport in itself 🤣 I enjoy the process but it take a toll on the body.

I'll bet you're watching CZcams in the truck 🤣

Thanks Smithy! I used to fish the Nerang quite a bit, it holds some good fish. This trip was also an RBAFC club trip and our fishing boundaries are north of the seaway. I'll make an effort to try the Nerang again though 👍

@@adamneeson Goodluck mate, keep up the content.

@@smithys3512-lg5yx Cheers Smithy!

I reckon you're right Adam! I love them but they're pretty cheeky!

@@adamneeson us Adam’s are usually right…except for when we’re not ;) The Nauruan Fishermen really hate the dolphins, they take money out of their pockets and fish off their table :(

@@adammcgeorge3538 Except when we're not 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Zach, it's a Barcrusher 615c (2019 model)

It's great fun but hard on the body. You don't know how many friends you have until you post a bucket of prawns online 🤣

Thanks! The net is a 'Pro throw' 12ft, Top Pocket only with chain. I bought the 20 metre rope too, I found the standard one too short. Anaconda sell them.

G'day Max, they're a Snyderglass Crusoe Island CR4126 in low mount. There's a list of the other gear in the video description too.

I'm trying to make the videos kid friendly but it's important to stay hydrated 😁

I'm catching up with him next weekend, I'll bring the subject up 😜

Thanks Warren. It's a Bar crusher 615c.

Nice. Thanks.@@adamneeson

Thanks Cam, I'm keen to do something similar again soon but hopefully with less rain 🤣

@@adamneeson hahaha look forward to it

Some people find that soothing 🤣 Honestly though, it's pretty good inbetween the islands. I've lined the cabin with foam and that's made a huge difference to the lapping sound. All I could hear was the fan running 👌

Thanks!

Hi Chris, my whiting reels are an Alvey 625B. It's the smallest capacity Alvey reel in the 6inch range. I prefer this because it's hard to fill an Alvey with 3kg/6lb line. They are a graphite backplate with plastic spool so they are nice and light. I'm not familiar with all the part numbers but the first number 6 denotes the spool diameter (6inch), the second numbers 25 denote the spool width (25mm I think), the letter B refers to the style of drag (in this case there is none) From memory an A5 model has a stainless steel back and no drag.

The sound of a screaming drag will never get old! We were quite worried it was going to spool us for a while there 🤣 The drag was set to 8kg using scales, a solid effort on the Marlins part.

@@adamneeson what pound line/leader were you using?

@@teamyak-attack1060 50lb braid with 50 meters of 50lb mono top shot to 120lb wind on leader.

Thank you! Other than the fishing that hike was my favourite experience of the trip.

We can go back together!

@@adamneeson I thought we were

@@Claire-zb7tq We are!!!

I'm happy it was caught on film, it gave me some closure. It would have been worse just wondering what happened! 😆

Cheers!
