I live in Australia and Queen's land
@@ozzylambo8793 no but I catch flat heads and other fish
Hi Luke,
I came across your channel whilst searching “Moving to Cairns” lol
I have watched from when you moved to FNQ to this video and got to say they are now my favourite to watch you keep it real and are enjoying life.
Keep up the good work and can’t wait to watch more of your videos it’s very inspiring for people like myself to get out of our comfort zones and try new things and explore this awesome country we live in.
Keep safe to you and your family 🙏🏼
het mate I'm so glad you enjoy them 😊 please do what you love my friend, where are you from? ice Aus
I'm new to this channel but I'm fully hooked ay. I use to watch others but I feel like Luke is less of an asshole and now I'm sold. He's a great guy and I can see that. Good bloke right here
thank you brother that means a lot I hope your well
That run to the boat by Brendon in the beginning was absolutely epic my man! I had to go back and watch that shit 3 or 4 times. That boy was quick as... Super great video yet again dude. Please keep up the great work!

Hey Luke, I hope when you make it big like YBS, you still keep on making decent content. Love the show..KEEP IT UP!!!!
I really appreciate that bro thank you 😊 I will always put out the best video I can, hope your well bro
When I was younger I stayed at Dunk Is. resort about 5 times and camped at the campgrounds about another 3 or 4 times. The jetty is great for baitfish and other pelagic fish like trevally etc. I always used a wire trace or a thick fluorocarbon leader (mostly) otherwise you would get bitten off too often. That was a perfect size mackerel for eating. Not too big. Congrats on breaking your Mack vaginity!
thats good to know mate I'm glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏽and thank you so much time I love making these videos for you 😊 where are you from?
been waiting for this since i saw your post on ig and was not disappointed great video keep it up man
thank you my bro your feed back helps 😊 hope your well
Love your new video bro, looking forward to your next. I’m glad you respect the water and the fish, but above all God, all I can I say is, you da man bro, may you be blessed in all your endeavours
cheers brother, that means a lot mate I hope your well 😊
Absolutely awesome vid mate, had me in stitches with picking up ya mate off the beach, plus your in a older wooden boat having a go and you got what you set out to do , nice Spanish mack, lovely family ......what's not to like ....KRACKA

👍look forward to next
Another top video bro. Had a ball with you brother can’t wait to do it again ❤❤❤
love ya brother ♥️
Awsome vid man, in South Africa and we call them couta here. One of my favourite cooking styles is pan fry with a olive oil and butter on a high heat and season the fish with garlic, salt and pepper and once done a squeeze of lemon
Cook majority of the way through with the skin side down as it stops the meat itself from burning
thank you bro, that sounds so good man, I have to try it, there is so many on here that people are giving me but this on sounds good 👍🏽 you been out fishing lately?
@@lukefalzon haven’t been out in over a month but that’s my go to with any any white fleshed fish, hope you enjoy bro
Awesome video luke I love watching ur.vids and nice makky
Luke, I truly love your content. It's amazing. Keep it up, keep smiling. And keep praising the lord
Man I love your videos!! Thanks for sharing!
Nice fish mate great result you have put in the yards for it so grats
cheers mate yes I have still got more to do and catch mate so can't wait, hope your well br0ther
Hey Luke, really liking the videos.
When we lived in Cairns the wife would prepare the mackerel in seasond flour , then either in a pan , oven or bbp cook skin down on high to make skin crispy , then flip on low heat to finish off. Regret moving back down south . 35 here today then down to 18 tomorrow. Love to move back . Have a good one mate .
hey Scott cheers for the kind words brother, and thank you for the heads up bro will try it next time 😊
Hey Luke just wanted to say I loved the catch and cook and congrats on the catch
cheers brother thank you so much 😊 how are you?
Love having awesome consistent videos
I'm glad you enjoyed it brother how have you been?
Love your videos and how positive about life you are 👊
Hey mate, love your vids and being a Geelong boy that loves fishing for all the fish you chased down here plus barrels I would love to see you trolling live baits for Spanish Mac and yellow fin. Keep up the great work
cheers mate I'm glad 😊 cool idea mate yes I might have to give it a try, have you been out fishing down there?

Great video champ. Nice Spanish. I troll with garfish . Very successfully
I like that idea brother thank you how are you?
pumped for you mate 👌 mad fish. I'll be there by the end of the year 🤞
cheers brother! where will you stay?
I´ve discovered your channel couple days ago and man I love it!
wow thank you brother 😊 that makes me happy hope your well
1:50 lil piece of advice:
Reverse your boat in with the nose facing the waves might save your mate from taking a dip 🌊
yes good Idea brother where are you from?
Great Video Luke!!
cheers brother
Hey mate! Both me and my dad have spent time in far north WA and my dads biggest Spanish is over 30kgs and the thing we noticed is that you were going a bit fast when trolling if you just slow down a tad you should be hooking more fish as my dad used to work in fnq and caught a lot of mackerel. Great vid I’ve watched pretty much all of them!
cheers for the heads up mate I will slow down a bit cheers again for the heads up 👍🏽 where are you guys living now?
We live in Perth now but my dad has spent endless time up there. He says to fish the Hichenbrook Channel. Apparently there is everything from Jacks, Barra, Queenies, Javelin Fish and a few GTs and Mackies on the north side. Good luck😉
Hahaha love how the music cut when the fish entered the boat. Pure joy and celebration turned into sheer terror. Also, Brenno putting his life at risk again for the vid! Epic run mate 🤣
Hahahaha I’m lucky I didn’t do a hammy
such a good time bro loved it so much, how you been bro?
Awesome mate been watching Ur clips awhile now.
that makes me happy bro thank you 😊 where are you from?
Great vid Luke. 👌👌🙏
cheers brother how have you been?
Yes definitely use wire trace I have been caught out on it before unfortunately. When its mackerel season again you should try out at kings point the last point before Fitzroy island from cairns, I have caught many there. Love the videos mate
cheers for the heads up mate I have to try down there bro, thank you have you been out for a fish?
Nice video Luke,from Victoria and gotta admit qld has more fun species 😅
where you from in vic?
They’re my fav fish to catch so fun and good tasting to me and dad put a lot of work in to getting em in 2022 in 6 Months we went from my first fish on lure to my 130 Spanish
thats mint bro, where do use get them?
Id love to see you team up with field days or YBS i think that would be a quality video you all love doing the same things
you never no maybe one day brother
Keep going out everyday it will help you become better fisherman and also be one with the ocean. I wouldn't mind taking you fishing if I was close..
cheers for the heads up man thank you again where you from?
Love the content mate 🤙🤙🤙
Skin on mate. Love the stoke 🤙
Also try trolling lures with out the wire trace. I’ve found this works when the Mack’s are a bit timid
ok brother thank you for the heads up, are you from Queensland?
Nice 1 bro, channel is growing. Was in Cairns last week ona cruise ship. Went and had mudcrab at Dundee's.... 110 bucks. Was fair av bro. Lol il stick with my blueys. Killaaaaa funking footage tho! Spanny is on my new list. Can't wait to move there. All looks well your end. Enjoy it bro
Nice video mate...have watched a few of yours and I'm hooked...subscribed.
wow thank you mate that makes me happy you enjoy the videos 😊 I hope your well mate you been out for a fish?
@@lukefalzon planning to do a night fish with the missus very soon and drop the kids with the parents,fishing along a rock wall for jewy preferably.
Your a legend love your videos so real no bullshit
Love your videos bro keep it up man much love
cheers my brother thank you so Much means a lot mate how are you?
nice video mate, some suggestions for the spearing is that 60-75% of the time a stomach shots tear out because there's not much meat to hold the shaft in and it fairly soft as well so that's why it pulls out a lot of the time so shot placement is key so centre mass and headshots are the way to go. Also always double check your flopper after a shot because any sand or other things can stop the flopper from opening resulting in losing the fish. I'm always looking for extra keen people to join me for free trips out of cairns if your ever up for it, especially when chasing marlin during the season. Good on ya and keep it up
cheers for the heads up mate yeah I will keep my eye out for it
and yeah mate I will be keen for that can you send me a msg on Instagram cheers mate & thank you again
@@lukefalzon cheers mate will do
Awesome video legend keep up the work
cheers brother how you been?
no better feeling than hooking up to a big mackky. awesome. Mate, NEXT should be a yellowtail tuna. !!!!
your right there bro! loved it thats a good idea where do they get yellow fin from?
Hey luke amazing video brother 🎉 your wife is a great cook. In and upcoming video you should do a food chain challange work from a small fish and make your goal a big coral trout😂😅
cheers for the heads up bro, and yes I like that Idea brother thank you 😊 are you from Queensland?
Hey man, I found your channel a little while ago, and I'm loving it! I'm a local to the Tully/Mission Beach area, and know my way around the hinchinbrook/tully/mission area pretty good 👌 let me know if you ever need a guide
hey brother thats really good to no thank you bro, how long have you been living there for?
@@lukefalzon was born there, lived there for about 8 yrs once I left school and just moved back after 2 yrs away
Great Video once again. It`s no wonder you haven`t done Cooktown yet ? Just watch for the big crocs up there.
thank you my brother It really means a lot 👍🏽 where are you from?
So glad to see you get a decent fish at last
yes mate same! I can't wait to get out again, you been out for a fish?
You are truly my favourite fishing CZcamsr
I live just a bit back from mission beach and I love your channel
Just found channel ,love the genuine content
that makes me happy mate cheers you like it 😊
Great vid in one of my favourite parts of Oz. Good idea to carry a club (sometimes called a “donga”) to subdue mackerel when you get them on board. A couple of good whacks on the top of the head will kill them and make it easier to remove hooks without removing fingers! 😂
Never seen so much excitement for a Mackie😂
loved it brother 😊 where are you from?
Bro I first seen you on Tik tok, keep up the awesome content!!🤙🏽
cheers my brother thats one thing I will keep doing bro, you been out fishing?
No been busy with the kids and just back at work bro. I get my fishing fix by watching your vids bro.
We love Spanish Mackerel in Yellow Curry. We mix the Yellow Curry with half a tin of coconut milk, and add a sliced onion, cook until soft, add the remaining coconut milk, add cubed sweet potato, a cup of frozen peas, green beans and sliced bok choy. Once all vegetables are cooked, we cut the fish into chunks and then add it to the sauce, Turn the heat off, put a lid on the pan and then wait until the fish is cooked (10 minutes).. Serve with Jasmine Rice, one of our favourite dishes.
Hey mate love your videos I live in Brisbane now but lived in Innisfail for years. A good spot is called olive rock which is about 1 km east of the largest Bernard island. At low tide you can see the rock, but you can catch massive GT there swimming around it!
Yeah luke keen to watch
did you enjoy it bro?
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
cheers brother I'm glad 😊 how you going?
Love the video styles where it’s you doing a “survival” challenge
soon I will bro 😊 how are you?
Well done , congrats on your first Spanish 👌🏽👌🏽
thank you my brother I'm pumped
how are you ?
Good mate , Catching a Spanish is on me bucket list , I’m sick of just catching banjo’s 😂
Great vid bro!
thank you brother how are you?
I think next you should try fishing around the SECCOND and third wreck behind double island when you look at it from yorkies that's been the best spot I've seen for mackerel so far
Also if you need any marks on the GPS or tips in general just ask and you shall recieve
cheers mate have there been anything caught there? isn't it fished out bro?
@@lukefalzon nah man me and my dad go exclusively there for mackies and catch at least 1 every trip, if you want me and my dad can take you out and show you some things we do for mackies and tips for fishing in general. :)
Season some plain flour with salt and pepper. Coat your fish in flour mix and shallow fry, skin side down. Cook until gold and brown.
Coconut curry is another good recipe.
that sounds good brother 😊
Hay mate we use 100 to 150 pound leader. No wire trace and with the makeral we use panko crumbs in a little oil macky is a awesome tasting fish god vid fella 👍
cheers brother I was using 40lb leaded and 100 pound leader bro its that Kool?
I feel like he uses that sound at the start way to much but its such a vibe. Good video bro.
cheers for the heads up bro, how are you?
Good catch. Seems spanish makarel are good fighters. An advise for your wife: you have to cook the fish with on the skin side first. She di right using just salt, pepper and citron. In Norway its used with a mix of different ingredients and called sitronpepper. Delicious. Lucky you have been back in time with your tiny boat. I would prefer like a Kaasbool 19 boat aluminium with high free bord which can be used for rough waters.
i love spanish mackerel nice one mate
yeah it was fun brother I loved it so much how's your day going?
Hey Luke I’m currently in the south coast of nsw near Merimbula, do you have any tips on how to catch flathead??
what are you using?
@@lukefalzon I’ve got a flat head type jig, 1/8th hook cause of the currents but I’ve got other lures aswell like crank baits
Hey Luke, I just found your channel last week and I’ve found everything so interesting, I haven’t ever fished before but really want to now . Would you consider doing a vid teaching how to fish or how to find good spots?
Also maybe recommendations for gear to people just starting out.
thats awesome mate that makes me happy glad to hear that, and yeah I might do it what fish would you want to see?
@@lukefalzon fuck I don’t even know mate I’m learning everything through your channel. Probably fish that are easy to catch and don’t put up too much of a fight so new fishers can actually keep ‘em on. But even advice on how to set up a rod and how to cast. Cheers, been loving the vids so far keep it up!
Hey Bud, Spanish mac has a few names so it can be difficult getting recipes. Try deap fryed in batter with skin removed. Or on coals fileted leaving the skin on, just butter and lemon juice.
Rick Smith might give you some local knowledge if you can find him . His a local boy... Watched many off your vids first comment... 💯👍. Good job...
cheers Clinton that means a lot, I will have find him 👍🏽 cheers for the nice words mate
Keen to watch brother!
did you enjoy it bro?
Beautiful place bro looks like a catch cook camp series to do haha mean fish to bro
it is brother loved it so much, hahah maybe I should lol how you been?
@@lukefalzon been great
@@lukefalzon haven't had the time to go for a fish myself been busy doing lawns but will get to it eventually anyway can't wait for the next vid to come out bro
hey man, happy to say im a 5-10m boat ride from dunk island, walk down the beach and go straight ahead.
tip one.. use single strand wire. rig your own with haywire twist, small swivels but good quality, tip 2 best lure i find Rapala Xrap 20 blue sardine or redhead, and halco 130 max yellowfin, troll 6-8 knots. tip 3 And when u get em in the boat a bat over the head helps.. wear some shoes / crocs / ya goose.
Luke don't forget to us any small bait even bream because fresh bait stay on the hook longer and the fish won't take your bait so easy 👍👍👍👍
Nice Spanish for your first Luke, try smoking them if you like smoked fish, but Spanish mackerel is the number 1 fish cooked in takeaway shops in fnq, I sent you a msg on Facebook messenger , thanks for the video
cheers for the heads up bro and yes I will try it can't wait for it 👍🏽 loved the tasted of this fish, where are you from?
@@lukefalzon mossman/ port Douglas area mate
That random iz zobb cracked me up 😂 sending positive vibes from malta ✌️
I dare you to eat a stingray next video that will be interesting ay I just needed to say I couldn’t comment because I’ve been quite busy amazing videos bro ur gonna be big and you are all ready close
wow thank you brother that really means a lot thank you, where are you from?
Luke great video. You should set up a club for FNQ newbies. If you posted an event (like the hiking groups up here do) I reckon you would get a bunch of blokes in their boats coming along. Even if a limit of first 5 small boats (4.5m limit). #Lukesnewbies or #Falzonsfreshies? Keep up the good efforts.
hey mate I like that idea a lot thank you for the heads up mate cheers the idea how have you been?
Good job bro❤
Great video
thank you bro, hope your well 😁
10:14 what I think happened is that they were two fishes and each of them were on different hooks.
yes that makes sense bro cheers, how are ya mate?
good stuff
cheers brother how are you?
We gotta do this one time brother! 👌💪
💯 we gotta catch up seen the videos bro well done keep pumping them out 👍🏽
Cheers brother
