BLOOMING Snapper! - The Gamble: Offshore Solo Fishing Sydney

  • Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
  • 1pm Solo fishing session offshore, why not!
    After last weeks snapper adventure with tuna man Rob, I thought I would go back to see if the snapper actually held in that area of the reef or if it was a one-off!
    There was a crazy algae bloom happening in the ocean which was spectacular to see, and honestly I thought there would be no fish because the water was packed with specs.
    One thing led to another as it always does, and I found myself off Bondi.
    Then the SNAPEPR fishing began!
    Enjoy ♥

    Hi Mel, just finished watching your last video of 2024 B to B BASH and this video played next. I like the tribute you made to your grandmother by naming that new fishing location after her. "Life" yep you gotta enjoy it while you can. It's too short, now matter how long you live!. Love your runabout boat setup. I'm an occasional shore based fisher myself. Regards Lindsay. Detecting and Fishing South Oz.

    Another cracking video Mel. I was out fishing at the same time you filmed this (last Friday) but up in Broken Bay and the Hawkesbury. It was a great afternoon and evening to be on the water. As for the cleaning facilities at the foreshore, do the taps run okay or are they too weak to clean the crap off the table? I hate when fishos leave it messy like that. Thanks again.

    Future tv producers won’t like hearing you swear mate.
    I’m Wondering if the now $540 in the swear jar is worrying you or that you now know what plan B is?

  • @peterfenton6388
    @peterfenton6388 11 месяцев назад

    Hey Mel, just be cautious about the whales. They’re doing their southern migration with their calves at the moment. The mums and babiies tend to stay close to shore and stop to rest in coves and bays. It’s estimated somewhere around 50000 whales will migrate along the east coast this year.
    Love your work mate.
