Jigging Off Gladstone North West Island

Dear Professor,
You were wandering why they are called “ Pearly Perch”.
As a suggestion , the little bit you showed us , behind the gills,
would it look like “Mother of Pearl” kind of reflections/colours ?
As I said, only as a suggestion…
PS: I’m sure other people are thinking the same , just wish the videos could be a bit longer…love the adventures.
Thank you
Chris from Crete

Lol no cut it’s eye open that’s where it gets it’s name look inside one of them then post it up not many ppl would of seen one

LOL. Donging absolute donkeys. Fekk mate, I'm only halfway through and don't even know how you'll top this ep, let alone into the future.

Could give yourself a wrist tattoo with a big live one. 😛👍👍

great video ,great fish, thank you guys very much , keep going

Just quick tip i dont really care but most do. You only killed the body, u need to hit the head between the eyes as well, 2 karate chops, 1 to head and 1 to base of body. Notice only the body turn white you need the head white to

Kid in a fishy candy store, love the mission. Thanks for the content.

Squid have 2 brains. There is one that you hit when you gave him the chop and that's why the hood lost colour instantly. There is another located in between the eyes. If you gave it a chop there the head and tentacles would have lost colour too when that brain died.

Love your rig! What kinda boat is that?

You just made my night. After a long n hard day work cheers mate.

I know there’s a lot of footage that doesn’t make the cut but I respect how much effort you put into making these videos. I can’t imagine the amount of fishing you actually miss out on while telling us about techniques or the fish itself. We all definitely appreciate it 🤙🏻

The pearly is incredible looking fish those eyes

Your a real thinker when it comes to fishing Matthew. Thats what separates the men from the boys.🤙👉👌

Even the sea snake approved, Epic size of pearl brother and epic episode 😍

In Ballina an 1/2 descent fishing boat has a pie oven. Pickup your game Matty start taking to Santa. Worked for me!

where is the new jigging species???

Petualangan memancing yang sangat luar biasa. Saya sangat menyukai dan menikmati setiap detik video ini. Salam dari Indonesia 🤙🤙🤙

You rub the skin off the gill bone you pointed at, and thats where the pearl is. Love your vids man, hands down best channel to watch!

You guys should try to go in about 1000 feet and drop some heavy jigs for a possible queen snapper or pomfret. The pomfret/monchong is the best tasting fish I have ever had

Great ep. Love the boat, Luke.

Its about time you fished different waters, even though whitsundays is prob the best. Try fishing in NSW and catching kingys and blue eyed cod.

awesome video <3 whats the length of the PE2-4 spin?

Nice brothers❤

Very cool karate chop! As always great footage 🤙🥋

Video yang sangat bagus bro
Pemandangan yang sangat indah hasil mancingnya sangat memuaskan
Sehat selalu dan sukses selalu bro

Pearl perch look super similar to the wa dhufish we get over here, loving the content and the drone footage is super crispy 🤙

Cairns and cape flattery are unreal, i feel like you'd have a field day up past port doulgas minutes from the gbr, all untouched the further north you go

Incredible,exhilarating, inspiring footage and fishing as always….your biggest fan from South Africa 🇿🇦

What Transducer are you using when running at speed to find new ground.

Some top fish there Matt
I've worked on trawlers & in fish markets, Those Pearly perch are Stonkers
Thanks for the tip on how to get out to the reef with a small boat on the Barge
Certainly going to plan a trip up there, only a 14hr drive from Newcastle 2 easy days
Cheers

hi Matt, we planning a trip to fitzroy island and have hired a boat for the couple days we on the island. My question to u is, have u fished the reefs up there and if so can u give me some tips for our trip its first week in aug we on the island. how is the wind at this time and are there some big GT`s around sudbury reef. i have been planning this trip for a long time now, have got myself kitted with right tackle and lures.. I am amped to get up there but i hear the wind can be a bit of a bugger... we have moved here 6years ago from south africa and are staying in melbourne.we used to fish off PROTEA REEF OFF SHELLY BEACH, caught some good couta`s and yellow fin tuna. ur video`s are awesome i have learnt a lot, thanks.

Tempat Mancing yang sangat bagus dan sangat indah bro, sukses selalu bro...

Rod series please...?

What pound braid do you run on ur over head jogging reels and what’s the weight limit on the rods

Hi bud
Been told to have a look at the rod you use jigging? Looks like a Nomad model? ? Have you always used this?

Appreciate your time

Wow amazing Got big fish,all my friend...good luck always,greetings from Indonesia 👍🙏🙏

can i come fishing with you guys ? :)

Luar biasa

wish i could live this life keep it up

We don’t have pearl perch in the states. They look like a cross between a trout and a barramundi. Love seeing new species. Cool stuff

e ở việt nam. e rất thích môn câu này , nhưng cần câu và mồi đắt tiền quá. a có cái nào bỏ không sài nữa. có thể gửi cho e được không!!!

AJs, great sashimi, grilled and smoked. Excellent food quality

That’s a cutter fish
