YOUFISH TV Returns Soon!! & Welcomes Mark 'Sully' Sullivan aboard
Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 08:05PM YouFish TV Season Returns !!
A long awaited & welcome return to YouFish TV Series 5 will air very soon.
Every now & again someone appears on the Melbourne Fishing Scene & instantly creates an aura of better things to come. Mark Sullivan is just such a person. Affectionately known as 'Sully' to close friends, he has been quietly chipping away at the methods to ensure repeated angling success on one of Victoria's best known & sometimes very unforgiving fisheries that is known as Western Port.
I first met Mark at the Stony Point boat ramp one evening last season & was impressed by his passion & above all total respect for the larger fish that include Western Port as part of their life long travels. His commitment to being prepared to put in the hard yards & learn the inner workings of Western Port was very apparent by the way he spoke.
One thing that did stand out also, was his total obsession with BIG Fish. Being locally based in nearby Tyabb, this has allowed Mark to key in to particular prime times for trophy sized species such as Big Gummy Sharks & Large Mature Snapper. Moving into Spring this year saw Sully on the water a lot more than most & this allowed a better understanding of areas to procure prime fresh bait easily as well as finding some very good sized Snapper along the way.
This all culminated into Melbourne Angling History on Fri the 28th Oct 2011 when at approximately 6.00am he landed the winning Snapper for this years annual Mornington Tea Tree Snapper Competition. Being around 500mtrs away when this fish was eventually landed was spine tingling as we all heard the massive crys & screams of jubilation. Sully had done it !!
Winners are Grinners !!
Up against 2000 plus entrants he found himself tight to a massive Snapper that later weighed a fantastic 10.55kg's & earnt him the respect from many other anglers instantly. It's worth noting that he'd put in around 200 hours on his engine hourmeter in the preceding 12 months to settle on the area he fished as he believed it just may hold that winning fish. This sort of forethought & dedication has been observed closely by the Team at YouFish TV & Think BIG and is just one reason we have Mark onboard with us for future YouFish TV Productions.
