I was trolling a 3/4 oz. rattletrap out of a 8ft. zodiac in Acapulco Harbour in Mexico and got spooled w/ a 400 calcutta all my line "Gone" b4 i could reach back and get the 9.8 Merc' back in gear..Wish I knew what i had??? It Happens So Fast! Good Onya's Keep it Rockin' Mick!!!
Thanks mate!! Yeah it’s good fun, I don’t like running less than 20lb main line as a lot of the fish encountered are put there to destroy or steal tackle 😂
Gidday Mick a suggestion if your ever anchored and need to chase a fish attach a float to the end of your anchor rope. When anchoring tie off with a slip knot so in a hurry pull slip knot dump rope and float overboard and chase fish when your done come straight back and pick up float and your at it again.
Not sure I’ve seen one mate, I only know they’re threadfin punch marks cos I’ve seen them do it. Barra would leave a mark but I’m not confident I could identify it 😅
Thank you for these excellent videos. Your videos give me so much encouragement to try new things. I have been land fishing with bait only on and off all my life. I have recently brought a boat to fish from and finding it difficult. Watching you catch fish in and around Mackay is encouraging that there is fish in the water. I have just one question. I have an old sounder with out side scan how important do you think a good sound is to finding where the fish are. Thanks
Hey Scott, Glad your liking the videos and they can help, ditch the bait and commit to lures only, you can cover more ground and you’ll learn more as you try new things. Thats the first jump into catching more and better fish! As for the sounder question, it does help with your confidence knowing you’re fishing on fish or structure, but a lot of the time it can be more of a hindrance.. I’ve caught a lot more, and bigger barra with no sounder than I have with it...
Hi Mick, what sort of combo are you running and what are they worth? I’m looking at baitcaster rod a reel combos now. I’m not a pro but I’m looking for something under 500 for some Barra/jack over Christmas
Possibly, but I would have thought a stingray would suction itself to the bottom as they do…, I did see a shark on the side imaging also but we were fishing a school of big threadfin and barra, any of those foul hooked has the potential for a spooling.

Mickstakenusfishing😂😍awesome mate doesn't get much better💪🎣🎣😍
Thanks man!!
what is that fish at 9:05? funny looking with those whiskers! we don't have here in New Caledonia
We call them a King or Threadfin Salmon, they grow to 1.5m or more, are really fun to catch and good to eat!
Very nice...👍👍👍
Nice bara ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate!
Hey Mick! What tackle box is that your running under the front hatch?? Cheers
It’s a versus meiho box that’s been discontinued but they do have some other ones which are similar 👌🏻
great viewing as usual mate 👍👍
Cheers mate!!
Thats massive river GT.
Pretty sure it was a bull shark 😳
Can you show photo of barra feeding on prawn Marks as well as threadies to show the difference please?
Not sure I’ve seen one mate, I only know they’re threadfin punch marks cos I’ve seen them do it. Barra would leave a mark but I’m not confident I could identify it 😅
@@Micksgonefishing thanks
Definitely a foul hooked a bull shark. I've been spooled many times by those buggers
Sick new vid.
Cheers mate 💪🏻💪🏻

hey loving the vids also i liked.
Cheers 🍻
Nuts
Good Baramudi🎣🎣🎣🦐🦐🦐
Thanks mate!!
The fish that broke the line was it a threadfin?
No idea mate, I’m thinking a foul hooked shark
do you release all you your catches or keep some for dinner?
I release a lot but I regularly keep a feed, I do fish a lot more than most though so a lot more get released than kept..
@@Micksgonefishing good stuff. Just subbed only seen a few of your vids. Sustainable fishing 👌
Why do you put a rag on ypur electric?
Haha just to dry it out 😅
@@Micksgonefishing yep haha makes sense. Hey man when will you be doing your next run tp townsville to pick up the next lot of warranty donyns?
Next week bro, did you do ya self a mischief?
Probably a foul hooked milkfish
Yeah I wish I knew 😅
Fowl hooked a big ray
Possibly, but I would have thought a stingray would suction itself to the bottom as they do…,
I did see a shark on the side imaging also but we were fishing a school of big threadfin and barra, any of those foul hooked has the potential for a spooling.
@@Micksgonefishing yeah probably. Ever hooked an eagle ray? They’d outrun a mackerel
Big daddy Barra take off ***
Whatever it was it was fast
