SOLO CAMPING WITH NO FOOD in AUSTRALIA. The most epic mission of my life. BIG FISH!
that's a big fish this is a big fish boy look at this yeah
all right big dog get in now watch this ready
this is what i do man yeah
welcome back to australia baby
what's going on doggies welcome back to another video
we're in paradise again i am actually so excited for this little camping mission
right now this is a place i used to come to all
the time we used to get a lot of good fish here but
the further i drive north the more weed i can see so
that's not a good thing at all we've probably got about an hour and 20 minutes
of sunlight left so it's yeah this is bad man look at
so i don't know if you guys can see but the whole entire coastline down here
that's all seaweed we do not want the seaweed all right
we're gonna have to spin this big girl around and head south
hopefully oh look at the seaweed down there that's bad
i've just driven from all the way down there trying to find a gutter
so i'll try to show you guys what a gutter looks like
you can kind of see this wave's breaking here
watch this way for an example this wave will break
and then it'll pitter out here see this little bit of a hole
that's what we want to fish that hole right there
oh look at it there's one other bloke fishing up here
some bloke fishing just there and this is where we're sleeping tonight
big rig this is the food we've got for the night
there is no food a couple of beers a couple of sailor jerrys
and um if you guys watched the last episode
this is those tailor that we caught so that is going to be our bait for the
night beautiful fresh bits of bait they're
going to get lobbed out there into that hole
and hopefully we're going to catch a big silver ghost that's the plan anyway
fingers crossed we actually get a couple of fish because that's legitimately
the all the food that's not even classed as food i've got i've got 40 litres of
water so i've got no problem about water i've
got about 15 beers and no food so we need to catch something
for dinner and i'm just going to stay here all night i'll sleep on the beach
we'll start a fire do all that kind of mad stuff until we
get something to eat so this is going to be super fun we're
currently racing the sun so i'm going to set up a rod get it maybe
get a little fire going and um i love doing this i've missed it so much
let's go endless amounts of wood we can use
so much you don't even have to go far like this is perfect to start a fire
look at that we'll just make little piles and we'll come pick it all up on
the walk back i'm going to go for a big walk through
the bush the only problem is this stuff burns as fast as toilet paper so
you need a lot of it and it's going to be cold tonight i think it's going to be
four degrees or three degrees tonight so we're gonna we're gonna need a ton of
firewood oh look at this welcome to firewood city i'm going to
get to work for the next couple of minutes
pick up all of this dead wood start a beautiful little fireplace
and then we're going to get the rods out there hopefully we can get something for
dinner and um if not we'll try to scavenge up a
little bit of bush tucker out of the bush here
there's a little bit of coastal coastal pig face i've seen up there which is in
flower right now so maybe we'll have a little feed of that
who knows but for now fire time oh have a look at this actually
this that is rabbit poo rabbit droppings that means there's
rabbits around here i've got a camp oven in the car maybe we
can go and catch a rabbit for a little bit of dinner
now we're talking all right i'm getting sidetracked right i
where's wood hey have a look at this there is not a
nice little hole here should be a good night fingers crossed
so what we're going to do right now i'm just going to rip these rods out
this is me rod bag here i've got two two of the little dreamboat rods this is
one of them and the other one is somewhere here
right there and that is the bait for the night so
that's that tailor we caught in the last episode i've got another one in the
freezer big slices of that on the hook
straight out there a couple of beers hopefully we'll get a fish for dinner
if not i'll fish in the morning if not i'll fish tomorrow night if not i'll
fish the night after until we get a fish i'll literally go
three days without food if i have to so this is the plan i'm gonna dig straight
in set these rods up all right here we go
let's start this fishing trip off
i'm most definitely going to be setting up those rods in the dark but
look i just can't stop staring at this look at this
look at the color of the sky oh this is why i do it man this is the
exact reason why nature is the best thing in the absolute world look at this
right now sunset over there incredible purple pink
to blue here dead calm ocean it is so good
nature you're a beautiful beautiful bloody thing
so while we have the last little bit of light left
i've got one rod already set up out there this is the second rod i'm going
to set up so pretty much what it is glow stick on the end comes down to a
big filthy three-way swivel there this comes down to 80 pound line
down to two i think they're five or six or gamakatsu
hooks set up as a snail rig like that the top hook plugged in the top
the bottom hook double plugged like that and then i'll just run this back down
here to a star sinker so there's not too much
current so the star sinkers shouldn't be too bad for now until the stop
until the tide starts pushing but that's pretty much the setup
i'm gonna drop this one out there into that little gutter sit back start this
fire and hopefully hopefully we're gonna get
that big dirty rod bend i'm gonna run down hook up and
hopefully we can put a fish on the fire for dinner
we could be eating at two o'clock in the morning we could be eating at three
o'clock we might not even get a fish tonight it's
very hard fish to catch um they're not a hard fish to catch but
they're just like a ghosty fish you know so
we'll see how we go all you can do is try but this right here is definitely
sitting pretty look at this have a look at her just sitting there in
the sunset ready for a big boom
look at this straight out there in that nice little hole
oh boy we haven't even been i literally haven't even had a bait out
for five minutes look the sun's still up and we've already got a shark
i don't want to catch sharks man it's only a little baby
beautiful little one what are you doing taking my bait
i don't want you oh strong little fella isn't he
how's that little shark first bait in the water
smashed it all right we'll get this guy back as soon as possible
beautiful little specimen in the sunlight look at that
all right i'll get these hooks out and we'll send you away buddy
please i don't want to catch any more sharks have a look he's still got the
bait hanging out of his mouth the gobbly guts
all right mate this way as you're going home see you buddy
get him going it's a fish that is a fish look at this
that's not that's not a bloody mullaway but we got a fish on
come on all right so this rod so this rod was just getting absolutely smoked
it's only 642 and this is what happened it was obviously a shark it's
you're kidding i don't want sharks man yeah
all right we'll go rig this back up send it back out
hopefully the big dogs come out to play and the sharks go away
oh if i was to say that it's um it's not cold i would be lying right now
it is absolutely freezing i've just checked the thermometer up on
there on the dashboard and it says three
degrees so it is cold i haven't even started a
fire yet the time is currently nine oh four
i don't know if you can see that but it's nine oh four i haven't even been
bloody fishing because i've just gone down there and had a
yarn with those lads down there and they are absolute bloody legends so
we had a couple of tins we were talking fishing we were talking all that cool
stuff but it is time to get some baits back in
the water and hopefully we can get a fish so
my eyes are stuck on these two rods right now we've got baits back in the
water it is time to start a fire get a little
bit of warmth in my body and hopefully we can get a fish man
because i am starving right now and um we need to get a fish on the board
so let's go next thing we can i should have bloody
kept that shark i'm starving anyway that's a fish there's a fish on this
rod for sure is there is there all right we've got a
it's a baby what have we got here that's not a big fish but we've got a
fish on is this dinner am i not going hungry what have we got
here that's a fish for sure
that is a taylor that's a beautiful little taylor
it's actually not a bad size that's a taylor just ate another bit of taylor
look at it why we just had a full-on gopro malfunction so as i was bringing
that fish in the gopro just went and just cut off but it's so hard to try
to film fish and have a torch on at the same time
so what i'm doing i've got like a headlight on my head then i've got a
gopro on top of the headlight so i've got
like it feels like i've got a bag of cement
hanging off my head but anyway what happened just then was
we got one fish on the rod which you guys saw
which is this beautiful specimen that is another taylor
probably about 550 long not a bad size fish
and then as soon as i got this one in my other rod went off
and we got this hey come here you slippery sucker
another taylor another beautiful specimen a little bit smaller probably
probably about 500 mil 50 centimeters long
so now we've got two taylor they're as fresh as fresh gets i literally caught
two minutes ago so um i don't know what i'm gonna do i'm
either gonna these are probably gonna be bait to be
honest this is a beautiful eating fish fresh but
i reckon i'm gonna use them for bait i'm gonna hold off on dinner
put those fish down i'm gonna hold off on dinner till about 12 o'clock tonight
if we don't get any any good fish after 12 o'clock i'll eat one of those
because they're fresh they're beautiful i'm gonna chuck them in the fridge
they'll be nice and cold but um i've still got my money on catching a big
dirty mulloway so they're gonna be bait i'm gonna stay persistent
i'm absolutely starving but i'm not gonna give up so
let's just keep putting big slabs of taylor out there
all night long until we get a big dirty mulloway
if not they're eating taylor i still haven't even started a fire yet and the
time is 9 53 my goodness
we've got a fish on the second rod now here we go doggies this is a fish what
have we got here that was a big hit that's a big fish
this is a big fish boy look at this can you see that
this is a big fish man all right here we go this is the fish we've come for
oh look at this oh this is just a big shark
maybe not that's a big fish yeah this is a big fish look at this here we go
doggies we're on here
this is a lovely fish
and there he goes the shark just bit me off
always mate the sharks will always win wow that was a big fish man
that was a big big big shark
so this is what we're using for bait a big slab of meat like that
two hooks set up as a snail setup it is getting absolutely dusted
by everything except for a mulloway but if i stay persistent
this beautiful bit of bait here should get us a big juicy mulloway so i'm just
never going to stop i'm going to stay persistent all night
that there should get us a fish we're just going to keep fishing
come on you big dogs ladies and gentlemen let's do a little bit of an
update right now i don't even have time to do anything
like it is the hardest thing to grab the gopro
chuck it on my head run down pick up the rod it is just
it's like it's crazy there's probably like four or five sharks that i've caught
that i haven't even been able to film tonight so
it is just a full-on shark marathon so probably i don't know i would i would
have caught about eight or nine sharks i've got three in
and um the rest of them are just biting straight through the line
i don't want to put steel trace on i don't want to catch sharks like i'd
rather them just release themselves and the hook will rust out of their mouth
or whatever but i'm gonna stay persistent i'm just
gonna rest for a little bit it is nearly 12 o'clock it's 11 47 at night
right now so it has been so hectic i haven't even had time to light a fire
like honestly i look look no fire nothing it's
just me and the troopie in the middle of nowhere so
those guys that were here before they've left the moon is absolutely pumping up
there look at him lovely sing and um yeah i'm just gonna
stay persistent hopefully we get this fish that i come
for if not well we'll try again tomorrow night
wow i could just lay here all day seven o'clock in the morning it is
freezing cold man i had the best sleep i was out like a
log it's a little bit cold but it's
absolutely look at the views man have a go that for a view to wake up to
that is a sight for sore eyes look at that
good morning
yeah it's chilly alrighty alrighty good bloody morning to you guys
it was an incredibly good sleep last night
and it is an incredibly beautiful morning right now you guys know the
drill first things first it's coffee time and then we'll just
make a decision from there maybe we'll chuck a rod out as well but
first things first coffee right oh this fire is looking
incredibly good to bang that billy on chuck the billy right there oh that is
incredible so hot all right where are you
here we go a little bit of water in there
boom straight over the fire boom it's as easy as that that's
breakfast that's a coffee but i just set up one rod over there so
you might get an early morning mulloway we'll see hopefully
probably not if you don't get them at night you usually don't get them at
daytime but we'll have a crack oh yeah have a look at that
that's what you want nice boiling pot of water
i'm not going to grab that with my hands because it's going to be hot but we'll
use a little bit of a tell you what i'm absolutely starving
right now no dinner no lunch yesterday we could
have caught we could have cooked up one of those taylor that we got
but i had faith i was like i'm gonna use those taylor for bait
and um well we didn't obviously get the targeted fish but we still have one
taylor in the fridge super fresh that's probably going to be
breakfast now because i've had nothing to eat hungry boom
that's as easy as that look at that yes please now we can say good morning
good morning and cheers to you oh last night was an absolute mission
it was a really fun night very cold night but
filming trying to film the videos i think we ended up getting
eight sharks or nine sharks but i got i think i got three sharks in and
we lost eight sharks oh yeah it was eight all
together but it's just so hard to try to film
run over to the rod rip the rod out of the rod hold off film it
and try to like get the angles of the camera or it's just impossible so
look if you guys want to come on these adventures with me and be my full-time
filmer leave a comment in the um comment
section of this video and um i'm going to choose one of you
and we're going to go filming because last night that was just impossible
so yeah let's try to get let's try to get a little bit of better footage i
ended up just playing around on instagram like i was just letting the
sharks run with the rods and i was just sitting there filming the
rod just bending so not even joking i just put that rod down
and now this rod just went off oh my god it's on fire out here
every single time i turn my back i get a fish
i was on me phone to phone to me old man on facetime
funny anyway that rod is still just sitting pretty our fire is looking
pretty good and um what i'm gonna do is probably
fill it up one of those taylor slap beautiful two fresh big fillets of
taylor straight on the fire and that's gonna be
breakfast because obviously last night we weren't hungry
so we gotta eat something today all right so there's one juicy little
fillet for breakfast i'll quickly rip the other side off
but one thing that i did last night i made a mistake i thought i was going to
use this for fishing bait so i didn't um bleed it i didn't cut its
throat i did put it to sleep straight away
but i didn't bleed it so usually when you get a fish like this you should bleed
them straight away just takes that blood meat the blood
out of the meat but that's still beautiful white fresh flesh there so
we'll get the other side done cook him up are you kidding me right now
it's like a bloody it's like this man it's like a
wind a tornado in here with the wind the wind is just carrying
sand everywhere so we're gonna have crunchy fish
i'm just gonna chuck this like tandako seasoning into a bag
my simple effective and beautiful way of cooking a little bit of breakfast
we're actually eating our bait right now there's no other options though
all right that goes in there let's chuck the fish in
everyone's seen this done before easy and effective
seal her up shake her up cook her up it's three simple steps
not gonna lie i'm pretty bloody excited about eating our fishing bait right now
this is gonna be delicious i'll have a go with that for a little bit of bloody
brekkie oh i'm so excited to eat this there is
absolutely no way we're gonna be able to cook that down on the fire right now the
wind is just like fully like doing big
turbulent styles it's actually freezing but it's like
that cold that it feels really good to not have a jacket on you know
it's beautiful let's go check this rod down here breakfast is on the cook
now the coffee's definitely on the cards and then
i don't know what else we're gonna do maybe come back tonight do it all over
again and then i'll just keep doing it until i get the dream fish that i come
for here we go breakfast is served look at
this i'm about to eat fishing bite that looks
that looks absolutely incredible to me right now
no wonder why so many sharks were eating this last night
all right it's good to put sign in your mouth i'll tell you what
um that seasoning is incredible man the old school that's about a 25 knot
wind right now
all right i'm gonna give i'm gonna go and give my old man a call
he was also mulloway fishing last night about two hours south of here so
i'm gonna give him a call maybe i'll go to one of his spots a little bit further
south all i want to do is just get a
mulloway so tonight we're going to continue this video
even if it's dragging on we need to get one of these big fish so
that's it i'll probably see you guys from the next location
i'm gonna jump in the big troopy rig now and um
let's get it we need to get one of these fish has to happen tonight
righto i'll see you guys probably at the next destination i've got about a
three-hour drive south of here so let's get it
oh my god look at this thing that is an old reel man
listen to it look at old mate down there look at him
all right doggies we have changed plans completely
so this morning we woke up this morning in the car
beautiful morning a little bit of tailor for breakfast
and um i was i am so adamant to catch one of these mulloway
i've called in backups so this is no longer a solo survival
not a solo survival this is no longer a solo camping mission
i got one of my good mates with me i went and picked him up from his house
i think my old man's coming down here tonight as well we're at a brand new
part of the coastline a nice little bay there's a lot of weed
around we just can't escape the weed i've been driving around for
i don't know hours today trying to get away from the weed and i just can't get
away from the weed so we're gonna see our luck here hopefully
we don't get as many sharks as we did yesterday
or last night i think it was like eight sharks all up we got last night so
fingers crossed no sharks big fish coming and um
look at him he's like a kilometer down the beach
five four three two one yeah oh yeah look
you've already cooked it you gotta walk again
anyway doggies this is me mate rat he's here to help me catch a mulloway tonight
hopefully we do come on brother let's get this done
all right so tonight's gonna be a little bit interesting hopefully we get that
big fish we're looking for but like i said the seaweed right now in
the whole entire coast i'm three hours south of where i was last
night and it's still horrendous amounts of
seaweed so we're trying to push through the seaweed but hopefully we'll get one
fish just one mulloway is all i want but
anyway we're gonna give it a red hot crack
that sun is just about to set right there look at that
that is incredible we're gonna go up here chill out have a yarn and um
hopefully one of these rods bend so when it's when it starts bending you
guys will be the first to know about it it is a mulloway is it is it i thought
it had a dorsal sting of the shark no it's a mulloway
don't worry about me it's a mulloway it's a mulloway
