Many thanks for that mate. Same at your end and we might just catch up in 2025

@@ausventurebound You never know hay, If you ever need somewhere to pull up for a couple days on your way north or south We live at Cooroy QLD just hell out,

Sounds perfect mate! Look forward to catching up!

Thank you mate. Really. Looking forward to giving it a good test.

Thank you mate. Hope to get a lot more consistent with videos from now on!

Yeah, it's a bit special mate. So much to do there, but of course the fishing gets me every time...

@@ausventurebound nice work.

Glad you enjoyed it Katy.

It rides wonderfully! It is a 6m Hooker made in Cairns North Queensland. Built strong, narrow and long to eat the chops with ease and comfort.

Hi Matt, do you mean the roof topper that I used in our Cape York trips?

Yes

Righto, I have since sold it and the manufacturer no longer makes them. A big pity that, as it was unquestionably the best car topper I have ever been in. We sold it and our Bushtracker caravan to get a 20ft Hooker boat. So before too long you will see vids of us towing it around the country with a slide on camper being our accommodation. We will be able to access more remote location with this setup.

Thanks for your reply and feedback. Breakaway marine bought the moulds and now manufacture this boat with a lot more storage. We will be definitely putting in an order and buying one for our trip next year. They look amazing.

Hi Graham, most tackle stores should carry them mate. Just basic opera house style trap. They use the same ones for red claw and yabbies inland. BCF, Anaconda and all of those stores should carry them too. Let me know if you have any trouble and I'll find an online link for you

@@matta9432 hi Matt, it is a 6m Hooker pro fisherman. Cairns built. Sensational boats!

?

Numerous camp sites there and public access to the river. We had also spoken to the people camped there prior to filming. Please get the correct facts before making derogatory comments. Thank you

@@ausventurebound Derogatory? ok precious.

Yes, no question it is a very special place mate. They talk about our indigenous having strong ties to their own country, well, so do we!

No tents for us mate. Sleeping in the Ute.

Many thanks for that guys. A whole lot of new content coming up next year!

Glad you liked it!

The bet fish in that video was 93 Rod.

Hi Luke, sadly the manufacturer that made my car topper shut up shop and doesn't make them anymore. I also understand that Cross Country boats (another fibreglass car topper builder) has also closed their doors. I really don't think that has left any others aside from alloy boat builders. Hope you enjoyed our video. Regards, Scott

Hi, we are using mainly 3000-4000 size threadline outfits for most of this fishing. Usually 20lb braid, not that it's needed for fatties, but the reel and rod and line are very similar to what we use for offshore snapper soft plastic fishing. We use this slightly heavy gear as it handles the big lures much better. We do use Barra bait caster style outfits for some lures as well. Hope that helps

Thank you mate

Many thanks mate

Thanks mate. yeah, we only get one dad. Really glad you liked the vid mate.

It was lovely thanks for sharing. @@ausventurebound

Thank you mate. Yes I have been told that from a few people👍

3r😂😊

I reckon that would be awesome mate! I love longtail tuna!

Try this, Tuna confit. Dry marinate the the best part of filet with 2 parts sugar, 1 part salt. Wash and dry, cover with "good" olive oil and spices of choice (garlic / chilli etc.) a couple of bay leaves, cover(baking paper will do) and cook at about 55 degrees for 45-60minutes. Keep refrigerated and keep your fingers out when serving. Fridge shelf life of weeks. I use an old Crock Pot to cook. You will probably never eat canned Tuna again. @@ausventurebound

Will do for sure mate. Should get a long tail in the next few weeks!@@stephenbolin

Thank you Keith. You might enjoy many of our other vids that we have posted over the last 18 months. Please share with likeminded friends. Appreciate your feedback.

🙏

Thank you

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. You need to come on the next trip!
