Game of chicken with a Cassowary! Glad that didn’t go pear shape! How nice is the environment when you find JPs, found a creek I wandered up for a couple of kms to a decent waterfall, spewing I didn’t pack a rod, heaps of JPs of all sizes! Great stuff again Mick!
Thanks mate! Yeah I was a bit nervous at first but it didn’t seem to bothered by me! I love the places JP fishing takes me, keen as to go have another shot!
@@Micksgonefishingyeah mate, fully agree, I’m up for that anytime and can’t wait to get up there full time, also did a wander down the Barron River from the Dam Wall, it was fair flowing as Dam was 105%, but scoped a heap of good snags n deep holes on a few bends, froffin to get up there full time. The whole place is just so alive!
I honestly believe that out of all the fish in the world a jungle perch is one of the most gorgeous species to grace this country. I finally got my overhead jigging set up finished now. Took a long time but I’m super chuffed with it. It’s a Daiwa saltist 35H matched with a Daiwa Saltist Hyper V2 Slow pitch.
The idea of being within eye shot of a cassowary sounds terrifying, but the fishing and adventuring looks totally worth it! Awesome videos! Would love to see more of these off the beaten track type spots 🤙🏻
Yeah for sure, I’ve never seen one that close before. The freshwater stuff isn’t as popular on here but I like it so I’ll have more to come no doubt 👌🏻
Amazing fish and landscape! Greetings from Europe! Have you ever tried a bait caster? You can get the lure on spot much easier. It also looks better on camera. 😊
Yeah they’re fun little fish to target! I stopped fishing for them for a while after I got my 50cm one but I think I’ll start hitting up the FNQ sweet water a bit more now after this! It was a fun session 👌🏻
Yeah man, didn’t get many small ones. I was fishing a gunfish 95 for the first part which cuts the small stuff out but I woulda got at least 8 or 10 over 30cm with 5 or so over 35 👌🏻
Thanks mate, yeah I got it all setup on there, only recently got it though… it takes the guesswork out of things for me as I don’t have any gauges and prefer the tiller steer so to have most of what I need on hand on my sounder is very handy
Wind knots aren’t from the wind, they’re from poor line management.. make sure you’re reel is spooled in a \ / or | | shape and not a / \ shape to ensure you’re not throwing loose loops and the other thing what will cause them is winding on loose wraps, you want to have some tension on you’re line when winding at all times..
What a great spot. You're a lucky man to have access - and we're lucky to see it. Thanks.
Yeah it’s definitely one of my favorite walks for JPs this river, nice sandy bottom and plenty of cutout banks that hold fish!
Very beautiful river👍
One of my favorites 👌🏻

Get it! They’re an awesome fish to catch!

Thanks mate, yeah I use a baitcaster a lot 👌🏻
Such a good vid can't wait to do another trip north to do some of this again

@@Micksgonefishing yeah a 50 is on the bucket list
Most of those fish were pretty solid aswell 🤙

Thanks mate 👌🏻😎
That's a sweet clip mate
Thanks brother 🙌🏻
Awesome…….🤙🤙🤙🤙Yewwwww
Cheers 🍻
Badass fish. I just read they spawn in the sea. I love fish that enter freshwater and spawn in the ocean
Yeah man, they’re also very slow growing and some of these fish would be as old as you… not me though 😅😩
Cam see they are oldish but wondering brand of pliers there is so many out there not all weather well yours seem fine
They were a birthday gift from an old sponsor in 2013, 10 years old and no longer in production 😅
@Micksgonefishing lol I knew they looked good (10 years) hard to get decent ones theses days tight lines bud
Love your Stacer man!! Do you have the NMEA for engine data on your sounder? Keep the videos coming..
Thanks mate, yeah I got it all setup on there, only recently got it though… it takes the guesswork out of things for me as I don’t have any gauges and prefer the tiller steer so to have most of what I need on hand on my sounder is very handy
hey mate i have found that when i go jungle perch fishing i tend to get wind knots quite frequently what should i do
Wind knots aren’t from the wind, they’re from poor line management.. make sure you’re reel is spooled in a \ / or | | shape and not a / \ shape to ensure you’re not throwing loose loops and the other thing what will cause them is winding on loose wraps, you want to have some tension on you’re line when winding at all times..
Is there 2 types of sooty?
Sooty and Khaki grunter in this clip. Similar looking fish but different..
