I'm only using my pole spear to catch and cook our food while boat camping with my girlfriend on remote islands but you won't believe what happens at the end !
We're spending the next couple of days out here boat camping, but to add a fun little twist on it
I'm only going to use my pole spear to hopefully hunt lunch and dinner, but we're heading to that horizon baby. Let's go Vicky
So we have three goals for this trip
The first one is a smaller fish. The second one is a big fish to take home because I want fish
The third one is to have fun
We have just pulled up to the beach chucked the anchor down Vicky's just chilling
There's heaps of squid out there
I'll try to jump off the roof and spear that one
Oh, man, they just spooked and went underneath the boat so i'm gonna grab my mask and see if they're still there
I got a squid
I got a squid with the hands
These squids come straight at the boat and went around the boat. I hopped in quickly with the hand spear
I got this fella first
And then like he shot ink and this other one tried to like hide in its ink and it played me
I missed a few times and then I finally got him. This is our lunch right now
But don't worry after this i'm gonna get back in the drink and I really want to get a big fish
For later on so we can have some fillets
Wow
Hopefully it all comes out in one
like that
Whoa
That's the ink sac
Feather-like backbone of a squid is one of the coolest features
Squid are just insane
We're about to pull the pick up and see that island in the distance over there on the horizon
We're heading that way and we're heading there fast. Let's get it
It's right on the dead high tide
So it should clear up a little bit and hopefully some big pelagic spanish mackerel
Maybe even a trevally will come in and it'll get an opportunity. We'll just punch into a further shoal in a bit of deeper water
Fingers crossed this is a three-piece pole spear. So this piece goes into here. Hey, pull this rubber back here ready
For under a hundred dollars. Look look fish right there. Look right there mackie
Oh
Holy ----, that was actually wild I did not expect that and I look up and there's this monster spanish mackerel
So I quickly try to grab my reel put it on
And what this does is if I hit one of those big fish and it takes off
Sort of gives me enough time to get to the top fight it a bit doesn't pull this out of my hand
But the fish was so big and technically still so far away
It just has time to roll and it kind of rolled away from the shot. Don't you worry guys?
I'll keep hunting around with the pole spear until I get something you guys want to cop some merch youngboss.co
Adventure shirts hats hoodies all that good stuff
We've just pulled up to another island and right here. It is so clear and beautiful. I have to nerd up. Sorry guys
Look, I have a lake
Them sharks like spooked me and it got off and then came back around ate it
I'm really sick about my feet. Come on brody. Come on
Okay, and we decided to dive
It's a beautiful eating sized trevally to go with the squid that we caught for dinner tonight
I'm, so stoked. There's sharks everywhere
This is so sharky today for those that have never pulled spear before hands before it is so much more challenging than speargun or fishing
To do the transfer from bottom to top. Here we go
I'm sort of exploring around and jumping from spot to spot
Just looking for reef fish at the moment, but it just feels so fishy
You never know there's so many sharks and everything just getting around but look at the biz at the moment
There's all these drop-offs out there ledges shoals and everything to explore
Oh my god, a little bit of action there in 13 meters of water
I'm gonna hop in the drink
What is look at that? Look at that there. It's a whale shark. There's a whale shark there
look
whoa
Holy ----, look how big it is. That's huge. Oh my god
Oh it's there it's right there literally, oh my god, it's good
It keeps like turning at me
Oh
This guy right here is a blue boner or tuskfish
And man oh man, I played cat and mouse just then I dived down they come in close and then they just sneak in enough
So they know I couldn't shoot them and they dart off and come back around
You really have to close the gap if you want to get a good shot. Can I see those teeth?
Look at those teeth. Can I touch it? Yeah
Oops that was not me
That was
That was not me
Not over yet. There's so much to come. I still got to get myself something with the pole spear
We'll see you guys first thing tomorrow morning. Good night. Good night
That wind is starting to feather in and we don't have very long before it absolutely pumps and we're gonna start heading home
So this is my last chance. This is my last go at this
So i'm gonna get the trawling lure out trawl for the next kilometer or two see if I can locate all the spanish mackerel
No matter how many damn sharks are around i'm popping in the drink and i'm going to give it a red hot crack with the pole
Spear also if we hook onto a spanish mackerel, i'm definitely keeping it because we want some fillets for at home
Get the rod get the rod get the rod get the rod
Oh my god
That is an absolutely beautiful spanish mackerel that Vicky got
I'm gonna put him in the esky
We have food for the next week, but we need to get in with the pole spear and get something. It was so sick
Fill it up my fish and it's time to get into some lunch
Believe it or not for me. Anyway, the little fish are actually
Harder to fill it than the big fish
over the ribs
under the pet fin
Look at that
There you go. I'm just gonna chop him up into little pieces take the skin off and put him in with our squid
Ready?
Okay, so we are going to put the fish here and the squid and we're going to shake it
Shake it shake it shake it. All right, you can have all the fun
So squid only really takes a couple of minutes to cook and the fish is kind of so finely chopped
It won't take very long either. I can smell it already. Oh my god. I'm really excited about squid rings as well
I haven't had squid rings for a fair while. The smell is
amazing
Yum
Don't worry about the sharks in the ocean it's the spitting oil that's gonna get you that oh my god
One for me
We're just gonna let it cool down a little bit and get stuck straight into this can I go first?
Yes, you can go first
Okay, I think I want to try the ring
After all that it come down to that one moment
Finally closed the gap on an absolute monster spanish mackerel. There's sharks all around me
I got closer and closer and closer let off what I thought was going to be the perfect holding shot on this monster fish
And it literally just went boink. It just fell out wasn't enough power and the fish was just too big
But it's not always about catching that big fish or everything going right
It's about being out here whether you're in a small boat big boat with your girlfriend solo family. It doesn't matter
It's about being out here having fun and creating memories
So it doesn't even really matter in the end, but we're gonna keep steaming towards the horizon
There's nothing left to say except for that's the bloody wrap, baby
