ONZZ in OZ. Episode 1 is out! Australia's Montebello Islands Fishing

I finally managed to edit the first video for my June trip to Australia's Montebello Islands. I flew to Perth, then to Port Hedland. From there, Jason and I drove to Exmouth (you can try to Googlemap these places), met up with Daniel, and boarded the Kylin.

We booked a fishing safari with Montebello Island Safaris at http://www.montebello.com.au 

and had the privilege of fishing with Captain Matt, and with the crew members Wade and Brad.

We also met several friendly and keen anglers Murray with his two sons Kyran and Ashley, Thys, Neville and Di, Dave and his son David, Wally, John and Allan. It was a real pleasure living on the houseboat for a week with these lovely people. They definitely helped make the trip an amazing one! You'll get to see more of our fishing in the videos I'll be uploading. I'm thinking of:

Episode 1: Journey from Singapore to the Montes, introductions and the first day of bottom fishing

Episode 2: The second day of bottom fishing and some squid-catching fun

Episode 3: Popping and stickbaiting around the bommies on the Nemo, their jetboat. Giant Garoupa

Episode 4: Light jigging, trolling and soft plastics on the Tinny. Coral trout and Macks. Lobsters!!

Episode 5: More light jigging and some engine trouble.
Episode 6: Crazy Spanish Mackerel action. AIRBORNE MACKS!!
Episode 7: Sailfish action on the Kylin. Lures and jigs.

Episode 8: Catching and cooking Mud Crab in the Pilbara. Singapore Chilli Crab.
Episode 9: ONZZ in OZ Montebello season finale: Highlights and goodbyes.

Enjoy!!

Fished on Friday and Saturday. Two days in the Southern Islands.

On Friday, Bryan, Erwyn and Karen came along and we finished 1.2kg of prawns early catching Reef denizens like Parrotfish, Spanish Flag Snappers and Garoupas. Then on Saturday, Kings and I went for some monsters, and got a little more than we bargained for. One of the monsters broke my rod by the way. Watch the video of our fishing adventures here on ONZZ Episode 7. Enjoy!!!

Sweetlip Trip

Was a little sad that I couldn't fish on Saturday cos I had to go back to work. However, I did manage a trip on Monday with Desmond, Isabelle and Darren. Upon hearing that we ran out of bait early the week before, Desmond bought 1.5kg of prawns this time. We used up most of them even though many of the prawns this time around were really tiny.

We hit several Spanish Flag Snappers, some Red Emperors (which were a pleasant surprise) and then ran into a school of solid Painted Sweetlips.

While editing my video for ONZZ Episode 6, I also decided to add in some clips from a small video project I'm working on to feature light jigging in Singapore. Basically, these are some videos I managed to compile from a while back. I really should have filmed more of my fishing trips in the past, but I guess mobile phone technology was not that great then anyway.

OK, enjoy watching ONZZ Episode 6 and my new Trailer.
