25.01.2022 Living in lockdown isn’t easy. I’m pleased to share a FishingMad 30 minute documentary on how local anglers are coping during this unique time. Many watching will find this content relatable as 7 local anglers open up about fishing, mental health, goals once the lockdown is over and more. I’m really proud of this feature which highlights an open and honest picture of what many in isolation are facing at the moment. A big thank you to those who participated and openly shared their stories with us. Please support the channel by leaving a like, comment and subscribe. https://youtu.be/PGIl4oU5bW4

25.01.2022 Thanks to all who sent video suggestion ideas whilst we're stuck in lockdown. I have taken that feedback and already have some videos in progress which I will share over the coming weeks. The first video was requested was how to upgrade your Lowrance sounder. I have put together a step by step tutorial which can be seen here. Also working on some kayak, mods and safety vids which were suggested and will have those ready to share soon. https://youtu.be/Vmq_XHlg3A8 cheers

24.01.2022 The Melbourne Cup long weekend indicates the start of snapper season. Busy boat ramps & general fishing chaos as everyone tries to get onto a big red.

At that price point there an excellent option and well worth an in-depth review. Enjoy the video review and don’t forget to like, leave a comment and subscribe. https://youtu.be/ezCFwRui1_E Thanks
