Spent a couple hours over 2 days doing what i love and provided an amazing meal for my family Mud crabs and fresh fish cook up
Hey guys, how are we? It's Friday afternoon here, just knocked off work,
gotta go down one of my creeks tomorrow and have a flick with a mate. So I thought I might go down
and chuck the pots in. It's not real good tides for crabbing but I was just sitting at home doing
nothing anyway so see how we go. I'll probably have a flick in the morning with me mate and
then pick them up after that, just so I get first light in the morning flicking the tree line
between a couple of creeks. But I might even throw the lure around the savvy, see how it goes,
see how long it takes to get these pots in. I'll see you when we're down there hey?
All righty, well the little turtle is in the water but I only can put four pots in because
I'll get them set up, throw them in. I don't know if I'll show you any of that,
pretty boring, but I've just got some reef fish frames to chuck in them and hold chook,
so I'll do that and I'll get back to you when I'm throwing the lure around hey?
Or I might even get some bait, we'll see how we go.
Hopefully I can throw the net, wind's coming in on me so I want to throw it this way,
That was fun on the light gear, nice blue salmon,
I'll be keeping for crab bait, saves me buying bait, I don't like buying bait,
I'll put him on the measure and give you a photo hey? There he is on the measure, I think he's
oh 51, 52 maybe, good crab bait, they're not bad fresh to eat but I've got plenty
of better fish in me freezer.
All right, let's get some flicking up, hopefully we get something.
Had a couple of little buffs, just in the mouth of Crocodile Creek,
hopefully there's some stuff moving around. Not a lot of run or anything today but
I think the fish will be scattered around a little bit, but we'll see how we go.
There's a Jack or Barra sitting right there, I can see the shadow of it, see if we can get him.
Nice.
I don't know if you've seen that, we just had a buff at it, see if we can get him back.
I think that was a little Jack actually.
Sing your prayer but let the good times roll, in case God doesn't show.
Pot number one, pot number two is over there at the mouth of that creek,
there's a little gutter here, that's why this pot's here, let's see how we go.
Another Cod, oh we might have a keeper here folks,
beauty, looks like it's fish and crab for dinner.
Cod might even be close so I'll give him a measure as well I think.
Beautiful.
That one was too small, I need to get in there mate.
He's a bit of a cranky crab, I might get the measure just to pin him down and I'll give you
the look at him. But look at that folks, easily legal, very heavy crab, he is going in the kill bin.
You can have them pliers too if you want to let him go dickhead.
There he goes, he's let them pliers go now.
Now I'll give this Coddly a measure, get my drinks back in there.
You're getting pliers then.
Need that measure again.
And he is legal.
All right coming on to my last pot,
fourth pot, let's see how we go.
Bloody mud everywhere from these bloody pots, oh well that's what water's for I suppose,
we'll give him a good wash this time. And here is lucky last number pot, there he is.
All right we'll see how we go.
We keep stealing, we're here, my name's Josiah, shout out to my barber Charlie,
every time I go in he says Josiah please play what is love,
Attaway's great song, Charlie if you listen mate, three and a half minutes I'll play it for you.
First brand new music from Pink, the song is called All I Know So Far.
Oh we got two stonkers, that is a big crab, wow.
Yeah baby, was worth it after all coming down, look at the size of that thing, holy, all righty.
Look at that, easily legal, nice and full.
The rest of this can go back.
Another big fella, holy, he's done himself a mischief.
Swimmer again.
And he's out, all right, now that is a crab ladies and gentlemen.
Jesus, he's gonna climb out my bucket, I've never had one climb out before, that's
could be or close to the biggest crab I have caught.
He's gonna be a raffle.
He's strong, god he's strong, look at him on the measure, that is a crab.
Cheesy cat, it's a video, here's two stonkers we got, it's my daughter's favourite food,
do you love crab? All right, let's get them in the esky, bring them in here baby.
Just here cleaning this, just cooked them in the microwave, gonna take one of the other
one I got over to me old boy, we might chuck them in the fridge inside. We'll eat this one now,
you want this one for lunch? Yeah, say bye bye guys, bye bye guys, see you next time.
Look at that for a Queensland lollipop, how's that for a Queensland lollipop bubba?
Eat him up, big bite, you love crab.
Had to show you how much, get out of it you buff head, naughty scooby, you have a big bite.
Whoa, you love crab hey, num num, all right we're gonna get stuck into this folks, yummy.
All right, so it's dinner time here, just got some finger mark I had in the freezer,
you've probably seen the video when I caught that cod, I think it was two videos, three videos ago,
then I got the cod from today, got out of the crab pox and the salmon from yesterday. I'm going to
do the kids nuggets, hopefully they enjoy them, if not we got backup nuggets and there's plenty
of fish here as well, but yeah, see how it goes. I'll show you when I'm doing the seasoning up,
I do it in a bit of seasoning, flour and then just cook it straight in a bit of olive oil
and butter, I'll show you when we're at it. All right, so this is what I season the fish in,
just salt and pepper, some roast chicken seasoning and some all-purpose seasoning,
put it in a bit of flour, mix it all together and then I put a bit of the extra roast chicken
on at the end and just cook it in some butter, show you when it's ready. All right, so that's
stage two, they're all floured, now what I like to do, get the roast chicken, that's the roast chicken
and just sprinkle it over it and then you get a pan, scorching hot oil and butter,
shallow fry it all, comes up, smeko, show you when I'm cooking. So there's some of the
floured fish with the spices finished, some of the kids fish nuggets and chips,
we've got some more of the floured spice cooking here and chips, beautiful,
it'll be a yummy dinner, I'll show you that at the end. And there we have it, spiced fish,
missus just whipped up a salad, yum-yum-yum, yum-o, see you next time, eh?
