Abalone Hunt Day 2 - Should be Called Ab-crowded Not Ab-alone!!
Perth Fishing - Another day, another Abalone! This was the first Abalone mission for 2025, it was a little rougher than anticipated and from all reports after the event, it was quite a busy day for the volunteer rescue teams.
Guys, if you aren't confident/competent in the water, please don't risk your life and the lives of others by getting caught out in rough conditions.
Stay safe out there everyone.

Demersal Bash and Caught a Pot Thief - RED HANDED!!!
มุมมอง 16K9 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Perth Fishing - Blake and I were looking to snatch a nice small Dhuey for lunch along with a couple of crays. When we arrived at our pots, it looked as if one was being pulled right in front of our eyes! We caught the guys at the ramp with my homemade pot on board!! The reason given by the guy when I respectfully challenged him was that he thought he was pulling his mates pot - well.... that is...

Perth Fishing - Temu.... My problem is real!! I bought a tiny Pen Rod (in reality, it's the size of a huge cigar) and committed to using it to catch and release some Swan River Flatties. It has surprised me how well it did the job and even outfished others that were using "proper" equipment!!! Go you good thing! - fuel my Temu addiction!! 🤣🤣

Should name and shame them ! Too much of this goes on out of Mindarie. They will definitely do it again
Hi @hobmister, as much as I'd like to, It's not worth my youtube account getting closed down 🫤
No a whole of English been spoken 😅
I hope all these people who can't swin are donating to surf life saving and sea rescue
How'd they cook up mate?
Hi Matt, they were great! Shallow fried in garlic Butter and light breadcrumbs 😚👌
@Damo_Vinci sensational! I had the canned ones last night to try out and they tasted like 10 year old boots 🤣
Hahahaaaa 😆 oh noooo! Didn't even know you could get them canned!
What a joke 😂㊙️㊗️🈴🈵🈹
It's pretty hectic, people everywhere!
Never had one...are they good? How do they taste?
Hi Julie, l like them, but they aren't everyone's cup of tea I guess... They are very rubbery so they need to be tenderised before cooking. They don't need to be cooked long (like scallops or squid) and they have a mild scallop/squid/unique taste - hard to explain really!
Like shit
Thanks Damo! I've screen shotted that guy's car and boat for reference, so sick of theives! No need for it, there's plenty of Cray's out their! Just lazy!! Their lucky they got you, most would have reported them....
My pots got pulled 2x during run this year at Ocean reef, seen a guy on end of Knoll , with binoculars, , was calling mates pulling pots and letting thm know if a boat was coming, its got bad
Who the hell could be bothered with that crap hey! Gotta be pretty desperate and low to do it at all, let alone a coordinated mass pull! Disappointing 😞
@@Damo_Vinci yeh did a whole line of pots out on 3 mile
Maaaate what the hell letting them off like that had the same in gero some dog pulling our pots every day got sick of it so let the fisheries know what was going on.next day they set up a sting and got the bastard with my pot onboard towed him in went to court found out he was pulling everyone’s pots lost his boat good riddance bloody lowlifes
Got my vexed bottom meat stuck half way up a rope the other day. Pulled about 15m of rope into my boat to get the lure back. Is this illegal?
Hi Luke, unfortunately technically yes. 😮💨
I,d pull it anyway. Lures are not cheap and bloody pots are not always easy to see the ropes on.
Yer mate his car and trailer will never be safe at the ramp again will it
Hi Nathan, I'd hope not 😬😬
@Damo_Vinci yer mate I wouldn't mess with people pots up here or they would take a angle grinder to your car
Action packed day out Damo! Nice dhuies. Very strange the situation with the pot. Disappointing for sure
Cheers Wazza. Yeah was a good day out. We were watching him pull the pot when we arrived at our GPS mark, but couldn't tell 100% if it was ours, so we followed him in and sure enough..... What's wrong with people 😕
Pot theives… slightly worse than upsizing Dhuies and not even using a release weight.
Hi Dave, if I intend on returning a fish without any visible barotrauma, I'll always do it without a weight, I reckon gotta be better off avoiding poking another hole in their face if they're able to swim back fine on their own. If they have bad barotrauma, I just keep them, not worth risking it. Not sure how that's on par with stealing another blokes gear though...
@ my comment was mostly taking the piss mate but whether we like new regs or not, the removal of size limits is to prevent people doing exactly that. Even if that dhu swims back down they reckon most of them don’t survive.
Pl3ase report him. He is totally in the wrong. Especially actually having your pot. Did he also have the floats?
Hi Steve, yeah, pot still had my floats on it.
Should’ve posted a pic of his boat and rego so we all know who he is
Hi @kiwideal69, I'd love to but don't know the legalities and don't want my youtube account shut down 😮💨
You should have reported the dog, now he will continue stealing them.
Hi @-Scotty, if he does after being caught on camera and having the ranger and fisheries research watching on, he'd have to be pretty stupid! Cheers mate 👍
You're NOT allowed to pull any pot that's NOT yours... Massive fines... I had a work mate who took his son out fishing, they pulled someone's pot... Just so his son could see it... He nearly lost his 40 K boat because of it... They confiscated his boat... He was devastated, a GODLY man so he should have known better... We prayed and asked for GOD'S mercy in this matter... At the end of it all, 12 months later... He got his boat back and copped a $250 fine and a stern warning NOT to do it again... Needless to say... We seriously thanked GOD for His loving kindness and His mercy 😃
Hi @Jasonforrestal6050 your mate was lucky there, still, 12 months without the boat is bad enough! Cheers mate 👍
You should have reported it
Hope you got the confrontation with the pot thief on camera. That clip will go viral for sure 😀
Hi @TheParkBadBoy Yeah it would, that's why I didn't show any of it, as much as I'd like to!
@@Damo_Vinci yeah don't want to dox anyone. Good on you for taking the thief on and getting it back.
He must have took my pots aswell.. 2 taken back of 3 mile just after xmas... i even dove my marks incase they were propped.. that old chesnut.. thought they were my mates 😂😂
Glad you got your pot back, dunno that i would have let the dogs off that easy 👍
Hahahaaaa I hear ya mate!
That's crazy! Hopefully the guy realises that you were nice to him and he got real lucky and won't ever do that again. As for the fishing, you gotta stop using the jig with bait and tie on a bottom meat style rig. 3 decent hooks rarely drop a good fish once hooked up. Your mate was using this style rig and did well 👌. I like mackdog tackles and berserker meatheads 🔥
Hi Ryan, agreed about old mate... It's not often that I have this issue with staying connected to fish, but today was a real problem! I do use bottom meat rigs, it was all I used at one stage, just having fun running something different. I've never tried the berserker, might have to grab a couple! Cheers mate 😎👍
That's fucked 😕. I reckon my pots have been pulled heeps in the last few months. Also there's no way your pot and his mates pot would have the same ID numbers
Hi @beergut8915, I reckon it wasn't the first time for mine either. He quoted his "mates" rego to me, it was nothing like mine 🤦♂️
You showed the pot thief mercy, I respect that.
Cheers Mario, I reckon all the commotion would put him off in future with a bit of luck. We've all made mistakes, just this guys were caught on camera 😬
YOU SHOULD STILL REPORT IT 🤷♂️ HES DONE IT ONCE HE WILL DO IT AGAIN 🤦♂️ AND HOWS HE PULLING HIS MATES POT ? DONT THE LICENSE OWNER HAVE TO BE ON THE BOAT 🤔 HES A THIEF
Hi @tritonjackmam5.681, you are probably right, I had quite the chat with him at the time and fisheries research and the ranger were there when I confronted him! Fisheries research couldn't do anything and nor could the ranger believe it or not, but I reckon the bloke would have been puckering! Definitely right about his "mates" pot, still illegal. Cheers mate.
Agree here. Enough Evidence. You likely got someone else's cray given yo you.
Luckily to get your pot back
Hi @georgepeters3749, I agree! Cheers mate 👍
Bloody good feed there, nice one fellas 👍
You are not wrong, cheers mate! 👍
Saw two sharks about the same size last time I dived. They follow the pots. I waited half an hour after they disappeared and hopped in the water gently to avoid splashes. Kitting up at 2m and they reappeared. Exited the water slowly 😂. Had the GoPro on so got some cool footage (not really long enough to bother uploading though)
Hahahaaaa NO THANKS! cheers Matt it was cool meeting you this morning mate. I hope you ended up getting into a couple! 👍
Wow how cool are those sharks?! I hardly ever see them myself. Always rinsing my hands off the side of the boat - maybe I need to think twice? 🤔 Few nice crays there boys, well done.
Hi Wazza, yeah the sharks are pretty impressive. I see way too many out there, and in many different locations/depths - it's insane! Definitely need to mind the digits 🦾 😬 Cheers mate 👍
if i only had time to get out, well done. looks like mindare . ocean reef
Cheers @AB-zy3xd 👍 Yeah, Mindarie. It's hard to find the time so I go out early and am usually home around 7-8am! Can be pretty tiring 😫
Tomorrow is looking perfect conditions 👌
I know! I gotta work 😫 but might sneak out really early for a drop or 2 😏
Wow nice catch!!
Thanks Julie ☺️
emu bitter i thought only tourist drunk that cat piss
You take that back @foxyawayfox8547!! Firstly, It's Emu Export - not Bitter, and secondly it's mothers' milk!!! Hahahahaaa 😆
Heaven in a bowl 😋
Hi @Eyeawake8 💯 😚👌
@ squid that way is so tasty dude 👍🏼
Hey mate, what is the lure called that you were using?
Hi @Dylan-n6e, it's a Jarvis Walker Stinger (metal casting jig) that I've added an assist hook to. They are $6 for a pack of 2 x 28g jigs 👌 Sold out at the moment but are available at bcf/anaconda, hope that helps, cheers mate 👍
Nice dude is that the Novara ?
Hi @CreatureCribs, no mate, I've never actually been to that spot. This was on the opposite side of the Estuary. Cheers mate 👍
Recently got a hook so been trying it out. Diving not wading though. Btw, instead of placing the gauge over the point and trying to line up the other point (easier with the plastic ones, harder with the metal ones), you can just “sweep”/“brush”/“comb” the gauge over. (From the front or back)
Hi xlr8436, cheers mate! Agree with your measuring method 👍 I really only do it this way for the camera so people at home can see 😆 it can be a bit frustrating at times hahahaaaa.
What area was this in looks killa
Hi @cainebenfield1656, I don't want to say the exact location but it's south of Mandurah on the inland side of the Estuary. Cheers mate 👍
Hi Damo, good video mate, not a fan of the hook I like nets but it depends on how it's used. nice camp site , I agree small prawns are so sweet . C ya buddy.
Mate - I'm telling ya, the HOOK 😚👌 hahahaaaa 😆 It's perfect for shallow water stuff like this I reckon, but there's still a place for the scoop.... Yeah those little buggers (river prawns) are soooo nice 🤤 cheers mate 👍
Poop trail and all, that's how prawns are mean't to be eaten
Agreed 👍 hahahaaaa cheers Tim.
Half the water you caught in half fresh sweet meat 👍
Cheers Greg!
Try panko crumb and deep frying them school prawns, delicious head n all👌
Hi @Snappernose, I've never tried that! Sounds good but not a fan of the idea of eating the heads hahahaaaa! Cheers mate 👍
Great cookup
Cheers Zac, they were delicious 😋 👍
Hi Damo, great entertainment, some thing different .The crab menu is chicken raw with a side serving of fish ha ha. C ya
Hi Steve, cheers mate 🍻 hahaha
Good stuff mate, love some swan river action 🎣
Thanks mate 👍 same here so hopefully I can get into it a bit more!
That's awsome hahah iv got the baitcaster version of that need to give it a good go
Hi Tony, cheers mate! Yeah, bust that out, I'd love to see how it goes! I was looking at them myself hahahaaaa.
it was worth it getting that lure
Yeah, absolutely! Hahahaaaa 😆
Hey its fine if you dont want to say the spot but is that near clarmont of blackwall? Just trying to look at some new places to fish
Hi mate, it's around Mosman Bay. Cheers for watching 😎👍
Haha those kids. I have the same problem. Kids always want to talk to me while I'm fishing. Need some neck tattoos so I look less approachable.
Hahahahaaaa, yeah, neck tats might do the trick! 🤣🤣
Hi Damo nice little session, im flying over east in may with my wife for a couple weeks and was looking at that rod and reel combo you have . Would you have the details for them from Temu Thanks
Hi Peter, thanks mate! I just checked my delivered items and it says that this rod has been discontinued! 😱 I can't even find one that is similar 😫 I'm really sorry!
