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!!
