DAY 7 EATING ONLY WHAT I CATCH - LIVING FROM THE OCEAN

They're moving too, they're moving real quick. Here we go, there's a shark eating one. Oh my god, we've got a fish on the noodle rod. Got one. Oh, shark! There's a shark behind it. What is going on my doggies? Welcome back to another video. We are about to go and rudder muck in the mangroves. We've got a bow and arrow. We've got a camo hoodie. We've got a camo face sock. We're hiding this time. What I want to try is, I want to try to go plug a very big mullet for dinner or lunch this afternoon. Bow and arrow's in hand. We are still on this mission where I'm in the bush for an X amount of days only eating what we catch. So the last couple of days I've been completely living off the land. It has been successful. This one, we're filming this episode. What I want to do is I want to go see if we can plug a couple of big mullet, find a couple of mud crabs. Doesn't matter what we find. All I'm going to do is try to find a feed before the sun sets this afternoon. So what I've got is, we've got this camo camo shirt on. The reason why I'm wearing this is because somebody said to me, every time I wear white shirts the fish see me. I don't know if that's true or not, but we're going to give it a red hot crack. Let's go. We're camoed up. Let's go see if we can find a couple of fish in the mangroves. Still got a little bit of time to wait before this tide fully pushes up. Right now it's not ideal for throwing arrows around but it will be in about the next hour or two. So I'm just going to walk around, look for mud crabs cruising around. Still going to have a shot at a fish, but in the next hour or two it should really really turn on. This water's super clear. There's not too much wind. It is bloody hot right now. Like I said, it's probably about 45 degrees celsius right now. She's warm. Flies are friendly, but I reckon we're going to get a couple of slobs on the deck. I bloody hope so because I've got no food. One or two mullets is all we need, mate. That's it. Check this out. Two massive brim right here. There's a heap of big whiting behind the brim there. That's a big brim. Not going to be able to shoot. There's another brim there. Look at him. I don't want to be shooting brim right now, but if we have to later on, we will. I'm trying to target big mullet. That's what I really want to be eating this arvo. Look at this. Also, I'm just going to keep my eye out for a big crab. Big, big school of fish. Big school of fish just swam straight past me up here. Look at this. I don't know what they are, but they're pretty big. I'm going to run around here, see if we can flank them. See if I can get in front of those fish. They look pretty big. They're moving too. They're moving real quick. Where are they? Hopefully they didn't push out wide. Come on. They're just there. Look. We've got to go further up here. We'll get them in front of that bush over there. Go, go, go. This ain't good for my ankle. I need to get these fish. They should come close to this mangrove because this mangrove is the furthest one out. I'm going to sit on the back of this mangrove. Here we go. Come on. Look at all the whiting in there. Hundreds of whiting. Those fish are coming past now. Here come those fish. They're moving. What are they? Big mullet. They are big mullet, dude. They're moving too. They're too far apart. They're too far apart to even aim at them. I'm just going to have to take pot shots. Hopefully we land an arrow through one. Got one more shot here. Go, go, go. No. That was a little bit of fun to start the morning. That was mullet. Probably about 20 to 30 mullet. Good size too. The problem is that they're just moving like they're doing. They're absolutely flying through the water. You can't really take time and aim it up. You've just got to take pot shots at them. Oh, look at this. There's another school of mullet coming in here. I took three shots. All shots missed. I wasn't aiming. I was just having a fluke shot, but we've got fish coming up here. Once this water fills up, once this tide fills up, you can really sneak behind the fish, take your time, really aim up and then get some good shots in them. For now, we're just going to be running around having a bit of fun until the tide pushes up. That was a good laugh. Feel the heart racing? Let's keep going. There's fish out here. They're deep. We'll have a crack. Have a look at this turtle right here. He doesn't know we're behind him yet. He's going to freak out. You want to see that turtle? He's coming up for a breath of air now. Ready? Here you go, champ. Look at this shark up here. There's a shark coming straight for us. It's actually a decent size shark. He would be lovely eaten. Oh, he's just punching out to sea now. I don't know if you guys can see. Oh, he's coming towards us. There's another shark right there. Sometimes if you do this, they come right. Look at him coming straight for it. Look at him straight there. He's coming in. There he is there. Another one right there. A couple of sharks about. Good sign. Here's a couple of whiting. The shark's coming straight back in. Alright. We're going to have to run again. There is a big school of mullet again. The problem is that these mullet are moving very very quickly. They're probably swimming at 15 knots. 15 knots. They're not swimming at 15 knots, but you know what I mean. They're hooking. We've just got to stay ahead of them and try to flank them. See if I can get ahead of them up here. Here we go. They're just out there. They're just out there. Look. Oh, look at them all. Okay. This is one of those situations I'm probably just going to have a pot shot. There's a lot of them there, but they're sitting deep. They're coming straight through. Look at this, dude. I could probably try to aim one up. Come on. Come on. Come back. Come back. Alright, they're coming back through here. Look. Go, go, go, go, go. Still have a crack at these ones here. Oh, no good. No good. We're literally just taking pot shots at these fish. You can't even aim them up. They're moving so fast through the water, and at the same time, they're sitting at least well, what am I? I'm knee deep. Out there, it was just about waist deep, so that's why we're not really plugging them. It's fun, though. It's hell fun. You're joking. It is very, very active out here right now. There's a lot of fish. They're all sitting deep because our tide's not in yet, so they all sit out there and once they have the ability to come right up into the mangroves, they usually push right up. But what I've seen just over my back corner here is that there is a big school of mullet, and I'm talking like proper size mullet. 500, 600mm long. They're big dogs. They're right here. I'm going to slap a GoPro on my head and have a crack. Check this out. Three big mullet. Problem is that they're in the open water and they're quite deep. Pot shots again. Got one. Got one. Hold on, let's leave him on the arrow. Let's see if we can do one more pot shot. We just got a fish on that one. He should stay on there. Pot shot, pot shot, pot shot. Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? This way. Oh, look how fast they're moving. Ready, set, go. Nothing. We got one fish. Beautiful eating fish. Look at that. That is a beautiful whiting. Real good eating. Chuck him in the backpack. That's a good fish. Delicious. There he is. That is a beautiful whiting. These things are great eating. If I can get a handful of them, they're going to be eating real good. There's heaps of them out here. I'm just having pot shots at them. There's too many. They're too far away to aim up. They're just in big schools. You just have pot shots. Hell of fun. Great eating fish. Straight in the backpack with that one. We'll keep moving on. Just going to have a little bit of a shade break. A little bit of a hydration station time. Walking around for a while. There's a lot of fish. They're just pushed out. They're still out sitting out far. I've just got to wait for them to come into the mangroves. All we're doing is waiting for the tide to push. We've got one whiting on the deck. Beautiful eating fish. If we can get four or five whiting, that's enough for dinner. I'm just out here to get a feed. If we can get a couple more whiting, a couple of small mullet, even one big mullet, mission complete. Pretty excited to eat some food. I haven't eaten anything all day. The water's bloody good. Here we go. Whiting pot shot. Got one. Let's get one more. Are you kidding me? Look at this shark. There's a shark eating my... Get out of here you little bastard. That little shark just comes straight in and started having a suck on that whiting stuck on the end of me arrow there. You're kidding. He didn't even care I was standing here. There's another beautiful one. A little whiting. Again, really good eating. That little shark just comes straight up and started ripping at this fish. That's incredible. That shark did not even care I was there, but that there good little whiting. Chuck him in the bag. We'll keep pushing on. There's actually a kangaroo over here. There's a little baby kangaroo jumping around here in the mangroves. Just seen him hopping past then. Anyway, there's another fish for the deck. Let's keep going. Boom! Just like that, we're back in the troopy. Alright, I pulled the pin on the bow and arrow mission just for a little while. We've got two whiting which are in the fridge right now. They're going to be beautiful. They're going to be fresh. They're going to be a good bit of grub, but it's not enough for dinner. So what we're doing now is I'm just driving along the shore and I'm just looking for schools of mullet. Once I locate a school of mullet, I'm going to jump out and we're going to go to town on them. But first we need to find a couple of mullet. Beautiful water. Nice and clear. It is a little bit windy. That's half the reason why I pulled the pin on the bow and arrow mission because it was a little bit windy. It's just taken off the top of the water. It's a little bit hard to see, but it's alright. Still sort of see through with these polarisation sunnies. Just cruising along now in the troopy looking for fish in the shallow water. When we see them, I'm going to pull up right here. Is that fish? Look at this. Right there, that's fish. They're not big though. They're tiny, but that's a little line of fish there. Dude! Have a look at this. This is off its head. There is, I don't know, probably a couple of hundred mullet in a school out here. The problem is that they're about 15 metres off the back of the shore there. They're a little bit too far. What I've got down here is we've got a 10 foot cast net. Now this thing is what I usually use when I get my mullet. I don't know if I've used this on the videos yet, but this is usually how we get mullet bait back in the day. I still do it. I just don't think I show you guys too much. But that's called a cast net. And what it does is it just spreads this big open net over these fish and we can get a heap of them if they come a little bit closer. They're slowly coming closer. There's a little school of them here. There's a big school out there. There's a lot of fish in there, man. One throw with that we're eating for the next bloody two weeks. Look at them all. Alright, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to lob the noodle rod into the middle of that school of fish quickly, just to see what they are. They look like mullet. The fins that are coming out of the water look like mullet. Oh! I just found hooked one, man. Oh my god, we've got a fish on the noodle rod. I don't know if we've found hooked it or what. It's going spastic. What have we got here? Oh, we've got a little trevally on here. We've got about a million massive mullet out the back there. Come on, get up here. Get up here. Boom. Look at that. We could eat him for sure, but we're not going to. I'll let him go. Look at that thing. That thing would be our beautiful little feed around the fire. But we won't keep him. We'll let him go. It's too much of a nice fish. There's other fish out there. See you, mate. Go, buddy. Go, buddy. Go. Out of here. Hey! Fish on. Fish on. Oh, what are you? Probably another trevally, hey? The only time you don't want to be catching these beautiful fish, they're smashing the lures. Go, mate. Out of here. Let's go. Back out into the mullet school. They're big mullet, man. It's going to be hard to get in with this rod. Yeah, got one. That's a mullet. That's a mullet. We've got a mullet. Alright, we've got a mullet on the noodle rod. Look at it go, bro. Yes. We've got a mullet. Oh, my God. Listen to this thing. Come on. Big, juicy mullet. Hope it's a mullet. It should be a mullet. How many times have I said mullet? Look at the rod, dude. This is why the noodle rod is the best rod on the planet. What have we got here? What are you? Whoa. Bang. It's a queenie. We just foul hooked a queenie. This is insane. All I want to do is catch a mullet. Now we've just got this beautiful little queenie. Have a look at him. You can definitely eat this as well. 100% we could put him on the fire, but I'm going to let him go. I want to get a mullet. I've just got mullet in my head now. You can eat these. They're quite bony, but they're good. Especially when they're fresh. Look how shiny that thing is. They're like a big mirror. I actually foul hooked it. These fish do take the lure that I'm throwing. Let's get him back in. See if we can get another fish on. All right, mate. Tell the mullet I'm after him. There you go. Wrong way. That way. Get out there. Go on, get. Go on. Good boy. The problem is that I'm seeing mullet and they're jumping, but so far we've got two little trevally and a queenie, which is so ... I just dropped him. Which is so ... There we go. Got it. What have we got here? Look at that noodle. Shark. There's a shark behind it. Look at this. There's actually a shark chasing it in. Go, go, go. There's a shark on it. Go, go, go. Go, little fish. Look at this shark, dude. It's going to come right up on the beach. Look at this shark. The shark's got it at my feet. Give my lure back. You mongrel. You see that? A shark just came in, smoked that fish right at my feet just then. You're joking. This is chaos. All right, let's tie another lure on. What is going on? Oh, the shark. Shark's on it. Shark's on it. Go, go, go, mullet, go. Look at this shark. Holy moly, dude. That was hectic. What is this? Go on, get up on the beach. Get up on the beach, little fella. Get up on the beach. Oh, that's what we came for. That's what we came for, doggies. That's a mullet and that is a chunky one. Look at how fat that thing is, dude. That's what I wanted to get. That's dinner. Big, juicy, oily mullet. See that shark? A shark was coming through like a bullet, boy. That's good, man. That's what I wanted. Big, dirty mullet. Oh, that's a fish and that's not a mullet. This thing's got big head shakes. Came in and destroyed it. Watch this shark, ready? There's a shark hanging around somewhere. The shark's probably going to come in and destroy this fish. I hope it doesn't because this fish is going back. Come on, get in here. It's extremely hard to get these fish up quick. I'm using, like, this is PE 0.8 fishing gear. Very, very, very light. It's probably another little queenie or something. He came in and smashed it, bud. Come on, mate. Get up here. That's the biggest one yet. He is beautiful. Look at that thing. Look at the colours in this in the sunset. If I could bloody pick him up. Have a go at that fish. What a specimen. Let me get this camera off my head. Look at that beautiful thing. What a nice fish, man. He came in and belted that. That's the biggest one we've got so far. He's a good little trevally. He's going straight back. He'd be good chewing, but we've got a big mullet. That's what we wanted. Lovely fish. Let's get him back in the water. Go on, mate. Get back out there. See ya, buddy. Jesus Christ, there's a shark right there. I've got the net loaded up. Big school of mullet out the back. They might be too still a bit far out for me. I don't know. Hey, this is fishing at its best. The only time I've never wanted to catch a little trevally or a little queenie. I just want to get a mullet, and there are that many queenies and mullets, I mean, queenies and little trevally out there. It's not even funny. We just had a shark come racing in, eat the fish, take off again. It's chaos, man. Watch this. Ready? Stay there. Check this out. I'm just going to peef that lure there, let it sink for a second, and then we're just going to pump it back. There's a little bit of wind. The wind caught that. We'll do it again. The wind caught that one. Let's see how we go flicking that way. I reckon they're mullet. I hope they're mullet. That's fish. See, that's not a mullet because that ate it. We've got a lot of fish on. I should probably start keeping some of these fish, hey? Oh! We just pulled hooks on one fish and another one came and ate it. Look at that noodle rod. Go, baby. This is so, so sick. There he is. Another beautiful little trevally. Bang! See you later, bud. This is what they're eating. He just spat that bit of fish out and that bit of fish out of his guts when he came in just then. There's no shortage of them, hey? So many. Let's have another flick. Oh, that's fish. That is fish on. What is happening right now? There are so many sharks out there. Look at the noodle rod, dude. I've got to get him past the sharks. I don't know if I'll get this in. I seen like this little fin casted at it and this thing just smacked it. I don't know what it is. Hopefully it's a little... If this is a good queenie, we'll keep him for dinner as well. You're joking! Are you kidding me? That's actually a mullet. I don't even want to get mullet anymore. Look at that thing. Dude, look at the colours on these fish. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look at that for a mullet. Look at the colours in them. They're so incredible. Big oily fish. Some of the best mullet bait in the world. Big silver ghost bait. These things are everywhere out there. Look at the colours in this, man. I don't even mean to catch that one then. Beautiful. We'll keep him. That's two. Good fish, good fish. Look at these sharks here. Check out this shark here. They come right up to the beach, man. They're real hungry. Oh my god! I didn't even see that one there. That's psycho. There's one, there's two, there's another one up there. We've got a banging sunset happening. What I'll do is I'm going to fillet up the fish here now. So we'll rip the fillets off those two mullet and then we'll start punching on out of here. We've got about 15-20 minutes worth of light left so it's perfect. Look at that. Beautiful sunset. We've got sharks going ham in the background here. Those mullet are still there. They haven't moved. They're not even like they're just too far to throw a throw net. So I can't really get the net right out there and I'm not going to walk out to me titties in water with all these sharks hanging around so let's rip a couple slabs off these fish go find somewhere to camp up for the night. Bro, you guys know man, you guys know. Look at these slobs down here. Good fish hey, good fish. Look at these two whopper mullet. There's one, there's two. That's what we're trying to get with the bow and arrow today. It was an absolute slob with the bow and, a slob, not slob, it was an absolute slug with the bow and arrow trying to get a fish on the deck. This is what we're going for. That is a big mullet. That thing's pushing 45-50 centimetres. That is a big fish. Look at that. It's longer than this esky and this esky's not small. So there we go. We've got these and I'm going to rip a couple fillets off them now make sure I don't dangle my toes in the water behind me because those sharks are rampant, dude. Quickly just dust the fillet off these two fish this is what we're having for dinner. Beautiful oily mullet's real good if you cook it right it's also an amazing bait. That's why I wanted to get the throw net out could have got some with the throw net would have been real good Look at this meat, man. Lots of people don't like mullet, eh? But when you travel to places like Indonesia Philippines, these things are a delicacy over there. Look at the colour of that meat. Beautiful and white. It's a very oily meat. I really like eating these mullet. I'm going to keep these frames. If you guys are up to date with what we're doing in these videos, I'm actually out bush for as long as possible living off of the land so I can't buy any kind of food except for condiments like rice and all that kind of stuff but like a main meal like this fish, I'm not going to the shops ever to buy it so we're keeping everything. I'm keeping that there I'm going to do like maybe, I don't know, a crabbing video. I don't know. Use it as bait for crabs or some sort of thing but these fillets this is our dinner tonight. Here's the next big dog. Shark coming in hot. Look at this. See that shark over there? I don't know if you guys can see that in the camera. He was coming in hot. Oh, there's a shark right there. Look at him. Woohoo! Here they come. One over there. One over here. One behind me here. They're everywhere now. Here, I'll give you guys a better look. Dude, there's like five sharks here right now. Are you joking? Yeehaw! Come on. Rex. Tracy. Sharon. Bloody dinner's ready. Come on. Man, it was right there. I didn't even see it dude. Ha ha ha! I did not even see that shark and it was right there. Hectic. I actually don't want to waste this bit of bait. I need this for a crabbing video later on. This is mine. Anyway, fish are cleaned up. Just going to clean up that esky. I'll just chuck the fish in the fridge. Look at this sunset, man. How good is this? Righto, I guess I'll see you guys when we're... Oh, I'm still wearing this bloody camo shirt. I'm surprised the sharks can even see me right now. Oh, look at him. Two more. Alright, I will see you guys around the kitchen. I'm going to cook up a feed and I'm that hungry. We're going to do rice. We're going to do this bloody mullet rice. It's just going to be a good time. I'll see you guys around the kitchen. Ow! You little shitio! He is absolutely scared. If you think that sharks aren't scared of humans, you're wrong. Every shark that comes up here notices I'm a human, even wearing camo, and they take off. Oh, let's go cook some dinner. Look at that sunset. What a time to be alive, eh? How good is this, man? Look at that. We're punching. I'm going to go make some dinner. I'm bloody starving. I'm thinking as I'm driving right now, how am I going to make this recipe? How are we going to cook the mullet? My mouth's legitimately drooling right now. Look at the fish down there. There's fish jumping everywhere. No shortage of them. That tide still hasn't pushed up fully. So we would have been screwed if we kept trying to bow and arrow fish. That tide comes right up to where I'm driving right now, usually. Didn't have it in it today. Righto. See yous on the flip side. Ow. Oh. What a day. And welcome to the kitchen. Alright, we finally found somewhere to pull over and have a little bit of a sleep for the night, so this is also going to be the kitchen. Now, what we're doing is I've been racking my brain, because there's a lot of different ways to cook mullet. One of my favourite ways to cook a mullet is just to get it, leave the guts on, leave the scales on, leave the skin on, and just chuck it straight in the coals. It's the best way to do it. But, right now, today we're not allowed a fire. I think it just about peaked 50 degrees today. Celsius today. It was a bloody hot day. No fires. So we're going to have to do a little bit of civilized civilized... civilized cooking. What we've got down here is a rice cooker. What I'm going to do is we're going to quickly slap on a little bit of rice. Jesus Christ. We're going to slap on a little bit of rice, and we're going to go out there and we're going to start mincing up this mullet that we got, and we're going to turn this thing into one hell of a fish curry. So, one cup of rice. Going in here. It's going all over the joint as well as in there. One cup of rice. Bang. The very, very best thing about this car is that you can use household appliances in the car. So what I do is, plug that there in, and we can use a rice cooker. You can use whatever you want with the power system that we've got in this car. So, one cup of rice. One and a half cups of water. We're going to bang that in there. We're going to turn that over to cook. Chuck the lid on. Be done with it. Let's go outside and start cooking a feed. Hey! We've got a spud. I've already cut him in half. I'm probably only going to use half of that spud. We've got an onion. We've got garlic. Curry powder. Curry paste. This is actually called tikka masala paste. Medium heat. That is not hot enough for me. What I actually have in the freezer is a bag of these little psycho red chillies, and they're that hot. So we'll put some of them in there as well. Coconut cream and coconut milk. There's no reason why I'm using cream and milk. It's just the first two things that I pulled out of the car. So that is what we're going to be putting in this curry. And then, to finish it off, we have a big, big bowl here of that fresh mullet. Four big fillets. Probably going to eat it all tonight. Look at that. Little cricket, get out of here. Alright, let's start chopping this up. Dicing it up. I am starving. Time. 8.22. Eat nothing all day. Are you kidding me? Look at this kamikaze moth. This thing is going to have a very, very sore head if it keeps this up. I'll tell you what. Get out of here. Alright, we're going to brown that up. Doesn't take too long. That's pumping. The contents inside here is browned up. I'm going to do two big two teaspoons of this curry paste. Now that's simmering away, I'm going to grab our spuds. I'm going to drop our thickly cut pieces of potato straight in there. I'm just going to let it, let those potatoes just soak up the flavour. Oh man, this is going to be that good. Probably ten minutes. Just let it sit there on a very low heat. Rice is pumping. Stars. I don't know. You guys wouldn't be able to see the stars, but the sky is just incredible right now. It's so lit up. Stars everywhere. We are looking good. Alright, now this is what a fillet of mullet looks like. Most people think that mullet is a mushy disgusting fish. It is extremely firm. It's almost got the same texture like shark. If you know what shark feels like, this is what mullet feels like. It's a very, very firm fish and it's a very fatty. It's not much of a fatty. It's a very oily fish. This side, obviously, see that red stuff there? That's called blood meat. That don't taste good. That tastes real good. We want that to look like that. Because we're putting this in a curry, I'm just going to cut him down the guts straight down there. Look at the colour of that meat. People who say mullet isn't good, I don't know what you're on about. I'm going to cut it up into pieces for the curry but also, once you cut it into your little pieces, if you've got a very, very sharp knife like this bad boy here, you can just run your knife down around and just take off that top layer of blood meat like that and you're just left with these beautiful little white chunks of fish meat. That's what's going to be going in our curry. Anyway, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to keep cutting this fish up, but that's how it looks. Very firm, white, beautiful meat. Mullet's good, eh? I'm going to cut all that red meat off. I've got a whole bag of it over there. Fish is going straight in now. Look at this. This is going to simmer away. Alright, I'll see you guys when it's finished. That's going to simmer in there for a little while. This here is what we've got left over. This is going to be breakfast. Look how much you get out of two mullet. That's probably three feeds. Bang, bang. I'm going to have that for breakfast. That's dinner. Let's go. Boom! And dinner is served. Doggies! Look at this, man. We've got one of the most badass curries I've ever had. Oi! Seriously, I was busting my ass today trying to get a mullet. All I wanted to do was have mullet for dinner. Look at this. We're eating mullet for dinner. It might be bloody 9.19 at night, but we're still, man. We're eating mullet for dinner. It tastes unreal. I've already been digging into it. Tastes incredibly good. Mullet is one of those fish that's just, you either love it or you hate it, or you might like it in the middle. I don't know, but I love it. It's real good. We wanted to get a mullet in this episode and we got a mullet in this episode. Alright. You guys know the jam by now. I'm going to sit here. I'm going to smash this. I'm going to crawl up here. I'm going to have some shut eye. In the morning, we're going to go and do it all again. Just remember, doggies, life is for living. Get outside. Have fun. Don't care what people think. Just do your thing. Have fun. We've only got one crack at this life, so let's make it a bloody good one. Thank you so much for watching. I'll see you guys in the next video, on the next adventure. Mwah. Love each and every one of you. Soooope. What are they? They're catfish. I'll eat one if I have to. Hey, where's all the mullet at, brother? Off he goes. Come on, mullet. Where are you, mullet?
