- In this video I'm on a tinny fishing and camping trip in the Great Sandy Straits. I do some fishing with a mate for some flathead and we both end up catching some nice fish. I then explore some of the creeks of Fraser Island and cook up a flathead in the boat. I get attacked by some of the worst sandflies you can imagine but its all worth it. Its amazing the adventure you can have in a small boat.

It’s a 3 metery 😂
Seriously, there’s nothing better than fresh flathead in beer batter!
Yep it’s bloody good.
Ha! Classic opening, phone rings….."shut up"……another great vid and good to see out in it again👍
Thanks Paul.
Love it 🤙, good to see your back out fishing 🎣
It’s good to be back. 🍻
Great video, good seeing you out and about.
Geez those golden fried flatty fillets looked delicious 👍👍
Looking forward to the next adventure!
Thanks Ben. The old flatty is pretty tasty.
Dude! Try using a small fan to keep the bugs off.
Yeah that might help. 🍻
Good to see you in the boat again mate. Another great vid
Good to be back out. Bloody bugs were savage though.
Great vid, enjoy the content thanks for making 👍
Thanks for watching it. 👍
I know those mangroves well they never disappoint with quality flattys 👍
🤫
Awesome vid mate! Some great fish there as well...
Thanks Greg. It was nice to get a few fish. Thanks for watching. 🍻
love your vids keep the bloody asome work and content going
Thanks mate. Wish I could make more regular vids but it’s hard with a young family.
Bloody awesome mate
Thanks Daniel. 🍻
Nice lizards mate…and great vid! Enjoyed watching it. And more power to you for braving the midgies…
Cheers mate. Yeah those midgies were savage.
Nice one! Awesome Flathead catches 🎉 Looks like you ate fish and the sand flies ate you LOL. I love that part of the country. Thanks again 😊
The bugs definitely ate me. I see your channel is building nicely too. Well done.
@@AusAdventure Thanks 😊 I have lots to learn...
How good 👌🏽
Cheers mate 🍻
Good vid mate. Enjoyed it 👍
Thanks Brice. 🍻
So good
Cheers Riley.
Great Video mate.
Cheers Dwayne. 🍻
Great vid mate
Thanks mate. 🍻
Great vid mate. I think the humble flatty is underrated as a table fish, damn good eating. Those sand flies looked diabolical. Look forward to the next adventure.
Thanks Trevor. It was nice to get a few decent lizards.
@@AusAdventure you looked pretty stoked. They were beauties.
Awesome to see you catching plenty of fish this time!
I think I would need to build a big fire to keep those sand flies away haha
Yeah it was good to get a few fish. I had bites all over me after that trip. 👍
great video mate !!
Cheers Paul.
Great video as bloody usual. Tell you what they were some beauties. Where is the sandy straits? Not to pinch a spot or anything just the area looked amazing!
Thanks Paul. The Sandy straits are in between Hervey Bay and Tin Can Bay. Plenty of good fishing spots.
Great video as always. Check out some videos on skinning flattys. There is a way to do it so it removes those hard to get at rib bones.
Cheers Ron. Yeah I definitely want to get better at filleting them.
@@AusAdventure th-cam.com/video/4gGqgfLQQho/w-d-xo.html Check this out. It’s the way I do it when I’m lucky enough to get one. It’s a lot easier when they are fresh caught.
@@ronmetcalfe4650 I’ll definitely try that next time.
Great video and awesome flats mate! A mate and I are heading over to Garrys Achorage for a couple of nights at the end of April. Putting in at Boonooroo. I don't know the area at all and woukd love to pick your brains to get some banks to spend plenty of time flicking. Looks like there is no shortage of ground which can be hard sometimes having too much choice and not concentrating time at the right spots.
Hi Mate. I haven't really fished around Garry's so can't give you anything specific. I don't think you will have any drama getting a few flatties though. Hope you have a great trip.
@@AusAdventure thanks mate!
Ever try a Thermocell for the bugs? I didnt think it would work but with light winds, it keeps Nova Scotian flies away.
Nice video.
No never tried one mate. I might look into it. Cheers for watching.
Hi Shannon.
Mate, I love the look of those beer battered fish cakes you make.
Can I ask what type of oil do you cook them in?
They come up really nice.
Id like to have a crack at making them too, just on the off chance I actually catch a fish. 😄👍🐟🐟🐟🐟
Mate I usually take canola oil. Then the batter is just cold beer and self raising flour. Some time I might have some salt and pepper and a little bit of curry powder in it too. Super easy.
@@AusAdventure Thanks mate. I’ll give it a go. Hope all is ok up there with the floods.
That is a bloody good flathead. Couple of nice fillets there. Cheers Steve.
Thanks mate.
Cracking vid mate, loving your videos. Did you put in at river heads & explore south?? Looks a beautiful area mate. Keep living that dream💪🏽
Thanks Mark. Yeah it was River Heads. I used to fish the area a lot when I lived in Hervey Bay so I knew a few good spots to chase the Lizards.
@@AusAdventure Brilliant mate, can’t wait for the next Vid 🙏🎣
Grate video content mate. Haven't had a chance to get out this week due to the rain and windy down here in South Tas. keep the good videos comming mate..
And Just wondering mater how many hp have you got on the back mate..
And a quick question for you or anyone who can answer it for me. As I'm new to all this boating stuff.
And would you recommend a 15 ft DeHavilland Tinny with a Mercury 15hp for off shore fishing?
Cheers mate and thanks for watching my vids. My engine is a 30hp so a 15hp on a 15ft boat would be a little under powered to me. I would have also thought being from Tassie you would want a bigger boat than that as you have some serious ocean down there.
Cheers mate, yeah it's a little under power as only getting 30-35km/ph in speed wise, but the areas I'm looking at fishing the boat suits. But if I was to go out any deeper I would definitely need to upgrade Boat and motor wise..
I'm looking into upgrading to a 25/30/40hp
Evinrude/Yamaha/Johnson or another Mercury or maybe Honda.
My boat can't take anything over a 45hp and is recommended to a 35hp
Just thought I would get some advice.. Before I make the leap.
Cheers heaps mate...
And keep the grate vids comming in. As I do injoy watching them. As you have gave me some ideas and enthusiasm to get back out on the water myself. 🤠
Should hit me up when your up next, would love to bring my boat out and meet up for a fish. Cheers
you fish that area a bit mate?
@@AusAdventure when I can, no expert by any means, any day out is a better day than being at work
Awsome video. Where do you leave your car/trailer at? That’s secure?
I just leave it at the ramp mate. I know its a risk but my car in a shit heap and it's insured anyway. Thanks for watching man.
Yewww
Cheers Jackson
Where are you based out of?
New Subscriber
Cheers Garry
Im on the Gold Coast mate. Thanks for watching the vids
Your a long way from home
It’s only 4 hours. Not too bad.
Hanging for your next video!!!! Any suggestions or pointers for doing a overnight trip to peel??
Me too mate. I think the key for Peel is to go when the wind is light. Moreton Bay when the wind blows up is not a fun place to be.
@@AusAdventure yea I’ve been out there with VMR in some unpleasant situations …
Did u ever do that raft up fish n camp session
@@Shreko84 mate I haven’t done any camping since that trip in the Sandy Straits.
All I have been doing is day trips with my young fella. The weather hasn’t been too helpful either.
Do you volunteer with VMR?
@@AusAdventure I used to bud. I work Fifi out west now so my roster clashed I was at vic point and jacobs well
@@AusAdventure hey bud how is ur seat mounted is it bolted to the bench
What’s that big blue esky called at the front???
It’s a Pelican Case mate.
lol my biggest flatty is 77cm
That's still a good size. I have been on 79 for about 8 years.. So want to crack the 80cm mark.
I really enjoyed your video and sorry for being ignorant,but why do you wear that neck warmer thing around your face?Is it to stop wind burn?
It’s to stop sun burn.
@@AusAdventure just got a tinny myself and i'm getting inspiration from your videos.I'm in mooloolaba and new to this fishing/camping game.
Sweet mate. Hope you like it
I’ve been told you have learned all of your fishing skills from your brother?
The only fishing skills my brother has is fishing for blokes at the local flatty hole.
The Three Stooges
?
Nice flatly. Shame you kept it out so long though.
It swam off ok mate.
