    If your river is affected by the tide Mikey there could be a layer of saltwater under the fresh water cause fresh water an salt dont mix very well

    • @MikeyCunninghamFishing
      @MikeyCunninghamFishing  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea this creek I was fishing in is way, way upstream. The tide does effect it… but early in the year after the wet this water I’m certain was at least 95% fresh.
      Pretty crazy.

    Mikey, That's documentary level there mate. Again well done on great footage from a D-Town lad to you. So much want to visit this haunt of yours and meet all these genuine guys. Have spent a bit of time up the road at Manangoora Station out fishing but always wanted to have a look at King Ash Bay and beyond. Cant wait for you to jag an epic session on the Bazz of massive size given you put in the miles for the smiles mate. Well done again mate.

      Crikey… I dunno. They are adjustable. For comparison, I wear a size 62 Akubra (which is pretty big) and the Gulf Mud Crabber cap fits me perfect when I adjust the thing on the back to the last 3 holes.

      The price of crabs varies heaps throughout the year. They get paid per KG. One crab will be worth maybe $10 to $30 to the crabber.
      Maybe 40 crabs per basket.

      Hi mate... I was trying to clarify what you were asking. You asked for either more or longer videos on the mothership.
      And I already made lots of long videos last year featuring that boat.
      So I was trying to work out if you specifically wanted to see more of the boat. Or just more videos where we are out utilising the boat.
      Hope that's makes sense mate.
