BOAT CAMPING | Catching Pelagics, Reef Fish & Squid | Underwater drone footage

Join me as I sleep on Little Rippa for the first time before heading offshore to target jewfish, mackerel, dolphin fish (mahi mahi) pearl perch and more. After another night sleeping onboard, I chase squid in shallow water around Moreton bay and give plenty of tips on what to look for and how to catch them.

Thanks Greg. Great trip. Love it when you invest 34:51 the time and it pays off. Very satisfying.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate and you're right mate. Getting rewarded for the time you put in is what makes fishing so enjoyable in my opinion. Cheers

[@craigparker4108]

Got to love it when a good plan pays off & no sharks. Some quality tucker there mate. 👍

[@robertporter387]

Hey Greg. Would you have a screen shot depicting tge wire weed bottom in about 100 metres Re Pearlies.
Just upgraded tge vessel and wanting to give it a shot with electrics.
Cheers Bob.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hi Bob, When people think they're fishing thick wire weed that gives big shows on the bottom its not actually correct. It's normally a hard bottom with a combination of soft and hard corals growing on it and wire weed is just one of them spread out among it but it's spaced apart more than people think. People see it looking thick on the sounder and assume its wire weed they're seeing when in fact its just small resident fish sitting close to and above the bottom that gives that assumption. Obviously this is an ideal habitat for pearl perch and I'm often looking for large targets among the live bottom and bait before I drop a bait. This video here shows I'm looking for and at. th-cam.com/video/SQOJNloYW4A/w-d-xo.html

[@robertporter387]

@gregswickedfishing Thanks Greg. Appreciate you getting back to me. I'll check out your vid.
Regards Bob.

[@hayscib03]

but how are you charging the lithium battries? awsome video

[@gregswickedfishing]

I charge them home before heading out with a victron battery charger and while i'm on the water the outboard runs through a victron Dc to Dc charger and charges the lithium batteries

[@hayscib03]

@@gregswickedfishing Thanks for the reply. Will look into this option.👌

[@AttitudeAdjuster]

Gee you deliver amazing entertainment as usual.
What Freezer did you go for and is it just running off 12 volt?
What a awesome trip to watch and see your magic at work
I can't wait to see your next adventure
Cheers Garry

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks Garry glad you liked it mate. Just running a 60 ltr Brass Monkey fridge and it runs off the lithium 12v system mate.

[@tropicrows]

Another great video Greg, so envious. Thats such a good set-up on the tub. I take it you run a separate lead acid start battery.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks Bruce I'm glad you enjoyed it mate. Yeah mate 2 lead batteries down the back for outboard.

[@robheinrich1994]

Hi Greg what size is the Bimini top on the boat and were would I get one from. Cheers .

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hey mate mine is 2.3mtrs long by 2mtrs wide. I feel it's a bit big but does it's purpose well. It came with the boat so not sure where is was made. Most marine upholstery guys make them but. Cheers

[@tai-bo9hn]

Mate stop giving out all the secrets about cheep squid jigs 😂

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hahaha but apparently you need expensive ones to catch squid lol

[@nobelsonsiburian5030]

nice spot dude, there are lots of fish, that's a sign that the sea is still good... Good luck ok
