Unreal Greg! Love ya work mate.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps mate much appreciated. Hope you're doing well and living the dream mate.

[@imeyouthem9303]

Thank you for sharing these videos. They have an educational and research component to them that is invaluable to lifelong learners like me. As a fisherman, I find great value in understanding fish behavior. Keep up the great work champ. Thanks again.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate I'm glad you like them. Cheers for the support

[@davidk5832]

Wow I loved that. I used to follow u years ago but to be honest the track ur on now is way more impressive to me... loved that you are releasing quality fish and showing a genuine passion for their habitat.. ur welcome in our backyard at yeppoon any time if diesel prices ever allow that again in our lifetime lol

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps mate. I love all forms of fishing and in-particular watching fish in their natural environment. haha cheers mate I usually head up that way every year and we've been doing trips up from yeppoon into shoalwater. Love it up there. We did a trip to the swains from yeppoon in my trailer boat as well which awesome. That trip is available on my website and has some amazing trout, red and nanny footage in it. Cheers for the support mate.

[@davidk5832]

@@gregswickedfishing yeah I go that shoalwater way sometimes but not so much for reds... more nannis. I met you and ur dad and Andy once at tin can bay boat ramp few years back. I used to live there. But decided to head north. Not a lot of trophy reds here but plenty of 7 to 10kg. Once u have ur share of trophy photos I think the 7 to 10kgs are better value anyway... better on the table anyway😀

[@willkitching]

Great video Greg, that is some awesome footage right there! It's so interesting seeing the split tails and skin off their heads. Keep up the great vids mate, I've been loving them!

[@davidlord8573]

Very good footage mate

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate much appreciated.

[@dougs_urbanfarm]

Great stuff Greg, I've seen a lot of snapper on the Cap Neilson and even on Rufus but have only nabbed a few. Very alert fish.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps Doug. Absolutely mate, some great fish comes from those areas at times.

[@benroche181]

Awesome vid Greg. I’ve just come across your YT channel & IG account. I used to read your write ups in bush n beach mag. Epic underwater footage in Moreton Bay. Love to see it. What boat are you aboard in this vid?

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate I'm glad you enjoyed it and that's cool you use to read my articles as well. I was in my 5.2mtr console for this vid mate. It's an old formosa I got second hand many years ago.

[@onthelooseadventures]

Great footage Greg !

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you liked it. Cheers

[@nathansinturion7644]

Hi mate, awesome footage!! Was wondering what drone your using for your underwater footage? Keep up the awesome work

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it. It's a Fifish v6 that one mate.

[@jacklarocca1452]

Hey mate great video, I’m interested in your bimini top, does it fold down? Where did you pick it up from? I like that there are no straps in the way.
Cheers

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hey mate, I got it second hand, removed the straps and put a support bar on each side to hold it open, then have front supports to hold it in position. Gives you a lot more room.

[@brucehornet1454]

great vid thanks

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps Bruce. Cheers for the support

[@scottyzfishing5660]

Always collecting the cool footage Greg 🤙was the tide pushing when the snaps were down deep in the cave mate I’ve found most the big ones I’ve caught are up high on the change coming into slack water 🎣 interesting to see the quality hanging together under the one cave though 👌

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate I put in a lot of time and effort to get footage like that but it's worth it in the end. It was neap tides when I filmed that so bugger all run and was really strange to see Snapper hug the wreck and sit in a cave like that.

[@jordangrant6219]

Another great vid mate, amazing underwater snapper footage!
Was that mono main line? I've found there's too much stretch and you miss hits so prefer braid with just 2 rod lengths of mono leader tied with an FG

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate it's much appreciated. Although we mostly use braid for majority of our fishing, using mono line has big advantages when float lining for Snapper. It has a slower sink rate due to the diameter and when a fish takes a bait they feel less resistance and lessons the chance of them spitting it back out knowing something isn't right.

[@craigparker4108]

Great drone footage Greg & a good snapper release. Shame about the front moving in on you.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps Craig. Haha yeah I got belted from that storm and ruined my night session unfortunately.

[@nevanalthaus2387]

Very cool footage

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate I'm glad you liked it.

[@leituvaatoalaki2202]

Tats wicked fishing mate

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps mate

[@jamie_d___]

Hey Greg cracking video bud really liked the underwater drone footage , how are you rigging your livies on the gangs brother that one had me curious

[@jordangrant6219]

I was wondering about that too!

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate much appreciated. I often use 3 ganged hooks for livies when I'm using heavier line/outfits as it's much stronger and lessons the chance of the fish damaging/breaking the line between two snelled hooks. It also gives an extra hook point for increased hook up rate. I lightly pin the hooks through the upper body of the livies with the first hook going through close by the lip/nose area.

[@seanjenkins5886]

What size leader are you running ? Or mainline

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hi Sean, generally for snapper I run 25 to 40lb mate.

[@ryanmcmillan9795]

Great video Greg just found your channel. When you anchor up near a wreck when there's a bit of current, how far do you usually sit ahead of the current? Is there a trick to it?

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks Ryan glad you liked it mate. How far forward you anchor really depends on the strength of the current, depth your in and the rigs your using. Generally snapper with roam around and away from the wrecks or any structure so as long as your reasonably close you have a chance of getting them.

[@JP-cy4uk]

how many unknown wrecks we talking do you think?

[@Mary-zv7mo]

Please don’t keep the fish out of the water for so long!

[@davidgrubb8803]

Great Vid...Pity about the Jew!

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate. Yes Jew can be difficult to release at times unfortunately.
