Thanks Greg, there is so much ground out there it’s crazy to rely on marks with the tech these days. When I get out to the reef I sit on 20 knots to get a clear reading and drive around the reef looking for bommies, I might drive past a fair few before I find one with the bait and fish on it and that’s where I’ll fish. It’s rare to have the same bommie loaded with fish on a different day with the difference in tides and current. I pretty much just go searching every time these days to try and understand it better..
Mick, looks like one guy didn’t like your gear/vid (3 messages), but I enjoyed it. Love the reef slow pitch jigging, you’re never quite sure what’s gonna grab your jig. Well done my man 👍
Did old mate below really say that the Elementus is lowest quality possible? 1) errrrm no sir. 2) look at the fish that Mick lands on this setup! Another cracking video mate. Some cracking fish.
@@adammalski haha yeah.. I read old mates comments also and just about wet myself with laughter. Clearly doesn't understand the concept of spiral wrap.
Absolutely nailed this one friend, the local waters can produce, could you please let me know what model Simrad, your using, looks a lot like mine, and maybe do a talk through for us viewers on what you feel is a good quality sounder and why? Maybe on the next trip? Thanks Mick, always keen to watch! 😊
Thanks mate, it’s just the old evo 3 with a through hull airmar transducer. I’m not the most savvy on the 2d sonar stuff so I’ll leave that for the experts… 😅
The spiral wrapped guide design is made so that the reel is rolled into your palm under load. It also requires less guides resulting in a nicer blank action and lighter rod.
Sticky drags ,rods twisting noodles bending getting railed and pumped all while thumbing that cheap arse spool with 1$ braid , I'm in ha ha ha ha 😂 can I bring cheap arse set ups too lol 🤣🤣🤣 good to see you back out on the reef again mick cracker session bro ps : don't let those kmart rods get you down mate we all start somewhere ha ha ha ha 😂 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🤙
@@Micksgonefishing wouldnt know, but hopefully, though aussies tend to be pretty laid back bunch ha. i'm in MX where we dont even need licenses to fish from shore.
I’m not sure you understand so I’ll explain… it’s a spiral wrapped high modulus jigging blank, that’s made with the guides wrapped to balance the combo under load, and it has absolutely no blank twist whatsoever.,? That’s what it’s designed to do, less guides make a lighter rod with nicer action and the spiral wrap pulls the reel into your palm when fighting a fish. Very smart design hey!!
Hahaha don’t get out much mate? Rods are designed that way.. first runner starts on top, by the last runner, it’s on the bottom.. the twist forces the reel into the palm of your hand which allows greater control of the rod while jigging and fighting fish.. but seeing as you obviously don’t fish quality gear, you’d have no idea.. congrats, you suck at life..
Didn’t you comment something like this on one of my previous videos, you need to get educated bro this ain’t no fiberglass rod flex and the “sticky” drag is me with my thumb and finger on the spool to have more control 😂
See how the rest of the day panned out in Part 2 -> th-cam.com/video/bZmq5d3OJ_I/w-d-xo.html
Some quality fish!!! I might have to get some marks off you!!! Cheers Greg

Hahaha yeah I find fishing along the tip and the shaft produces the biggest load, awesome to see more reef trips happening in the haines ✌
Hahaha big loads for everyone 😂😂 yeah just haven’t had the best run of weather recently but I’m keen to get back out there!!
Great vid mick your living a great life my friend keep it up.👍
Thanks mate! It took a lot to get here but I feel like I’m where I wanted to be 🍻
I salute to you mate your killing it 👏

Thanks mate! Just finished the next one 👌🏻

and how good is 4k!! thx for that
Yeah he just doesn’t know yet, I’ll get a few more abusive comments from him before he learns it seems…
@@Micksgonefishing my favourite is “the rod has twisted on itself…” (noting spiral wrap) Gold
@@adammalski haha yeah.. I read old mates comments also and just about wet myself with laughter. Clearly doesn't understand the concept of spiral wrap.
Great session right there
Thanks mate, can’t wait to get back!!

great vid. Question what is the advantage of the twisted guides? I have 1 rod that has this but I'm not sure what difference it makes?
The spiral wrapped guide design is made so that the reel is rolled into your palm under load. It also requires less guides resulting in a nicer blank action and lighter rod.

Great video as always and a good haul of big red throats.
What brand are the red & gold 100 gm S jigs you were using.
Thanks
They’re a palms jig mate, it’s what I use in like 99% of my jigging videos 👌🏻
@@Micksgonefishing cheers mate
Wow nice jigging lures
Thank you 👌🏻
Hey mate the rod that you are using with gold reel ... IN the start of vid...what rod is it and length and kg rating...cheers mick
Ocean’s Legacy elementus spiral wrap rod. I think he’s using a pe3 or pe4 rod there.
Pe4 Elementus mate 👌🏻

Hahaha one day I’ll get the good gear 😅
probably big wrass busting you up 😁i fished pro for yrs they are steam trains !!!
Yeah that’s what I think it was, if it were a shark his skin would have worn my leader and it wouldn’t have tried to reef me…
Absolutely great fishing. Glad the sharks didn’t give you to much curry
Thanks mate, they know I got a new donger that’s why 😂😂
wow cool👍👍
Thanks mate!!
Woww thats ah monster strike
Some big fish out here!!
Some people live in Ethiopia and some people live on the edge of the barrier reef
I love the reef!
You have a fantastic channel 🙂,BUT it would be nice if you could tie your knots a lot slower or use slow motion when tying your Knots
Thanks mate! I’ll keep it in mind, but I do try to keep the videos entertaining and not drag them out too much so I’ll see how I can incorporate it..
100% worth alot more views... esky shot at the end of the 2nd part please.....
Haha thanks mate! Not sure if I got one but if I did I’ll throw it in
did you know that the WA govt banned recreational fishing
I did hear that, surely there’s some serious protest action going on over there?
@@Micksgonefishing wouldnt know, but hopefully, though aussies tend to be pretty laid back bunch ha. i'm in MX where we dont even need licenses to fish from shore.
I just can't stand to watch that rod twist completely 180 °

That’s what it’s designed to do, less guides make a lighter rod with nicer action and the spiral wrap pulls the reel into your palm when fighting a fish. Very smart design hey!!
The way your overhead rod twists so much it becomes a thread line rod. Ahhhhhhh. The lowest quality gear ever. So unprofessional
He got more fish in the esky in this video alone then you have ever ya sook. Lighten up 😂🤦♂️
blokes never heard of a spiral wrapped rod 😂
Sounds like there’s a DJ on board.
@@Micksgonefishing don’t be so aggressive with your viewers bro’ chill. Happiness will come to you.
Sticky drag. Rod twisting completely around itself. That is that crappiest fishing gear possible. I am out
Hahaha don’t get out much mate? Rods are designed that way.. first runner starts on top, by the last runner, it’s on the bottom.. the twist forces the reel into the palm of your hand which allows greater control of the rod while jigging and fighting fish.. but seeing as you obviously don’t fish quality gear, you’d have no idea.. congrats, you suck at life..

The rod twisting around itself? It's a spiral wrap i.e. the intended design of the rod to avoid twist
