- This episode I head to the Gold Coast to target he mighty Milkfish. This fishing trip turned out to be one I will never forget. Excuse the hangover. Dehydration on a stinking hot day and a punishing fish just don't mix.

This is one of the best land based fishing videos I've seen!
All thumbs up accept for a couple of jealous fishos. Love ya work Andy!
Your a fishing legend mahhhn! I’d never even heard of a milk fish before I can’t wait to give it a blast!
What a video. Bloody love your videos mate. And I’m normally really critical on the videos I watch from other locals on the Gold Coast. Bloody solid effort and I have also yet to nail this beast of a thing. Thank you.
Thank you mate. Appreciated 😉

Used to catch Milkies in Durban harbour. Moving back to Aussie soon soooo ❤
That was awesome Andy. And the best part was watching it swim off.
Swam off like a trooper. Cheers again Mr Cods 😉👍
Moving from Darwin to qld soon, Rather chuffed to see milks are possible there. Great fish mate!

Nice work mate! These thing go hard.... I caught a few on fly many many years ago and they really get the hands shaking 😆
They sure do mate. Not recommended with a hangover 😂
I love fishing this is wonderful
I do too. Cheers mate ;)
Awesome work boys!! Great vid.
Awesome stuff Andy!! Well done mate

How big is the hook and do mold a good bit of bread on or just little tinny bit. Thanks
Nice work mate!! Well done
Is this pond located in Hawaii?
Australia mate!
Nice work mate,That fish took some effort to get in.
The hangover didn't help. Cheers Mark 😉
Looks awesome mate
Top job mate....what a fight
well done !
What a line burner!!!
Beast mate well done
Where is that spot, mate? Looks awesome!
surprised you didn't just fire up the grill too while you were at it!
Awesome video great commentary too. Where about son the coast?
Cheers mate. The coast indeed. 👍
pretty sick to catch a fish that peels drag especially with bread as bait lol
where abouts on the gold coast were you fishing?
whereabouts on the gold coast?
Hell yeah andy
What lb leader you using in on that rod and braid u got on that and is it a 4000 size reel?
12lb braid to 20lb fluoro leader. 2500 size reel. 2-5 kilo Berkeley Dropshot rod. Undergunned for a fish that hard so had little leverage on it.
Certainly tests out your fitness level which isn't that good by the way. 😂
Glad to land and safely release this special girl in the end. Amazing feeling mate 😉👍
BOOM!
Sir, pls give more videos for fishing skills, baits, Rope bonding fishing rod n more..
I do have many videos on my channel for you to watch.
You look like you nearly got spooled a couple of times. How heavy was your line / leader ?
12lb braid with a locked FG Knot to 20lb 100% Fluorocarbon leader. Yeah she was a tough fight. The rod had little leverage so it was all forearms and wrist. 20 minutes feels like an hour on these fish.
Cool fish that was a lengthy fight. They look like they’re in a similar family to shad or mullet?
I don't believe they are related to the Mullet. Cheers mate 😉
milkfish is the only fish in that family i think
NIce one!
What pound leader did you use
From memory only 10lb.
What reel and line you were using mate?
2500 size. 12lb braid and 20lb fluoro leader.
Very light weight for such a hard fish. I would recommend a little heavier based on my own experience. Goodluck
Holy fuck that's a massive catch.
Fatty!
Was that freshwater or saltwater
Saltwater
How do you put the bread on the hook, what size and what hook you using for milkfish
Mould it on the hook. A very robust size 8.
What size hook mate?
Very Small. Around 6 to 8
How the hell did you get in there
Invite
Great video are they plentiful of only in a few locations in GC?
Quite rare mate. Very few locations.
Awesome stuff congrats on killing the fish 👍
Cheers legend 🤙
