Hey, welcome back to The Outfit.
We're in Middle Lagoon in the Dampier Peninsula near Broome, what a spot!
This is so good.
So this is like a kind of a secret day use area, I guess.
We're camped kind of a bit over here, but it's packed.
So we've come here for the day.
That's way more our style.
Way more our style.
And it's beautiful.
We've got pandanus trees.
We've got whales doing flips in the background.
The fog, the water, the clarity, it looks pretty nice.
Not too sure where it's like actually on the water, but you'll see that soon.
I am going to go sparing.
First sparing mission since we left Queensland.
Gosh.
All right, let's not lose any digits.
We're going to go out there, we're going to get some mega fish.
All right.
So stay tuned.
This episode is going to be wild.
Oh, so pumped.
The vlog can wait.
There are fish to shoot.
Look at the color clarity.
This is insane.
I haven't been this excited, Anne, since you gave birth.
I like that.
Look at my gear.
Very dusty.
At least you go for a good wash.
Nice.
Proper Kimberley dust.
Yep.
What a day for it.
Wow.
This is our space to explore.
Oh, yeah.
It's cool we've got these pandanus trees coming straight down into the water.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
I can't believe it.
Can you believe it, Oxy?
No, all we need are tusk fish, or some big pelagics, or a coral trout, or an emperor.
I'll take them all at this rate.
I'll take any.
Give us some fresh fish.
I'll take a mother-in-law.
Well, thank you.
Time to get out there.
Wish me luck.
So I'm going to have the camera just on the end of my spear gun.
time when I had it on my mask I just couldn't tell when I was pressing the
GoPro I couldn't hear the beeps so I ended up missing shots so at least I can
see it we'll try and get some shots of some fish or whatever we might even be
able to hear some whales. Alright so what I'm seeing is I'm seeing some
rock jutting out so I'm gonna check that out I can see more rock in the
background out here I'm gonna head towards there. If that's not proving good
I'll head down this way. All I'm after is structure we'll see if we can get some
fish congregating or even better if I can just find like a big bommie with
some holes and crevices in it we might be able to start getting some reef fish.
Alright wish me luck guys it's been so long I had such a terrible time in
Queensland. Alright let's bring back those WA spearfishing vibes.
Alright so Oakley's having a little nap in the camper so I'm just having a little walk
around not too far from the truck going a little crazy boy spotting mission
which actually can't see him anymore. I flew the drone just earlier just to
kind of like scout the coast to see potentially for crocs because yes we are
still in croc country there could be crocs but not only we've asked some
locals in Broome that told us that this spot was actually super safe for
spearing. The caretakers here told us they haven't spotted a croc for years so
yeah there could be one one day but there will be like a very small small
chance that's why Chris decided to go but yeah I'm keeping an eye out but I
can't believe how stunning this spot is. It's beautiful the water clarity I definitely
ah actually I can spot Chris now. The water clarity is beautiful I can't wait
to get for a swim as well. How can I help? Look at how tiring shore diving is.
A little Tusky and a little stripy sea perch. Look at you go oh yeah
So how was it? Oh it's nice out there yeah it's nice. A bit of a ferocious current
going that way but yeah nice ground really nice ground
oh man I'm so stoked. It's not the biggest Tusky ever but it's dinner tonight oh
oh yeah oh man I need some calories. How beautiful is this fish? So it's filleting
time so this if you're unfamiliar with the fish is a blue bone also known as a
black spot tuskfish for the black spot right there. Blue bone because they do
have slightly like almost translucent bluish bones which is pretty neat. Amazing fish so
this is an absolute prize-eating fish which is so cool that I've got one even
though it's quite small it's definitely in size and it'll be big enough for
Anjanai for dinner for sure so we didn't need a huge one I mean obviously a big
one would be great but this is brilliant so really happy with that and then I'll
fillet up that little stripy as well which is just on size so I'm a bit lucky
there and that's a really good tasting fish as well so I'll just add that to
the fillets. Now I haven't filleted a fish in forever so I'll give it a crack
I've got a new knife let's give it a go. Who would have thought that buying a
really nice knife would help. This is a Victorinox Swibbo and man that's the
first time I've used it it's beautiful. All right nice fillet there bit of sand
on it so I'm just gonna wash it and chuck it in the back. There's that beautiful
blue bone skin right there. Really big tough scales it's a real brute of a fish
and they're just hard for me to get because I don't have a very good
breath hold. I'm often just swimming around off the shore and they see me
well before I even see them. Wasn't the best shot I definitely hit it in the
wrong spot but it was good enough.
There's a bunch of reef sharks about six of them I threw the frame in and boom
they smashed it. I don't even know where they came from. Wow that's so cool I
haven't had that happen before. You're welcome Sharky Sharks. Free meal for you.
Very cool. All right so those fish are all filleted up. I'm gonna head back and
chuck those in the fridge. Have a go at our spot. This is mega. Look at this place
dun dun dun. Kookaburra. Someone's prepared this kookaburra for us. Thank you. Wow so cool
Just went for a little swim. Oh my god that feels so good. I can't even
express how good it feels. Feels like it's been such a long time that we've
been in the ocean now. It has been a long time. I think that's why. This guy's stoked. He's like looking up at the
stripes just having a ball. We haven't even put him in the water yet. He's got
his little feet in the sand. You like the sand on your feet? Just got the drone over the
whales. Didn't spend too long up there because they dive under and then I lose
them but man it's such a neat spot. I'll go for a swim too with this little guy
seen. Look at the caves. How cool is this place?
Also explore. Wow. So cool. I'll show you the view from the beach. And as we said there's no one.
Incredible. And it's always like that with Korea. We don't know what to expect
and we're gonna probably extend our stay here because we love it so much. And it's
nice to go back to places we've been before. So we've been to the Dongdaemun Peninsula
three years ago but we didn't check out Mido Lagoon. So it's nice to find new
spots that we particularly enjoy because this is definitely one of the best spot
in the Kimberley that we've seen so far. The first ocean dip.
Whoa. It's normal to be a bit overwhelmed. So who would have known dunking a
baby's feet in the ocean is not the thing to do. Oakley's not very happy
with either of us is he? He's okay. I mean I can understand it. It's quite
overwhelming so I don't blame him. It's okay. Hopefully he'll get used to it because we are going down the coast so lots of
swims to come. First time in the ocean for Oakley. He definitely didn't like it. So
it's a bit tricky. We know it was fine. I think it was mostly the temperature of
the ocean but he would love to expose him more to the water so that he can
eventually swim like kind of like an early age. So if anybody watching has
like any tips of what we can do to be able to have like a little ocean baby
though we call them. Ocean baby. That would be great because both Chris and I
we're not good swimmers. I mean Chris and I is a much better swimmer than me.
Still not a real swimmer. So you would love that Oakley at least get better
swimming skills than us. And now it's almost sunset time. They said it's early
dinner. Chris is making the fish. So what do we have tonight? Really happy with
how the fish turned out actually. Nice Philippine job. Thank you very much.
That new knife really helped. So I've chucked on this Tandako seasoning mix
which tastes really good. We've only had it a couple of times in Queensland. It
was it was really nice. That was a hot tip from a mate. So I've just put that in
there. Chucked it all around and then I'm just gonna put that in some oil. Fry
those up. We've got some coconut and chili rice and we've got some fresh
green beans and the lemon. Pretty basic stuff. I'll fry that all up.
Cold ginger beer. Blue bone. Happy baby. Happy fiance. Beautiful spot. This is epic.
So stoked. Very grateful to be here. This is so nice. So we're just gonna eat up, watch the
sunset and then we'll head back to camp.
Good morning. We're back. We're back in the exact same spot because it is so darn
good. Look at this place. There's even less wind than yesterday morning. So I'm
gonna jump in for a dive very soon. We'll see if we can catch dinner again. Still
buzzing about yesterday's first WA dive. Seeing some whales but they're
not coming too close yet. Wish me luck. So let's get it done.
Alright so Chris is going for dive number two. Unfortunately this morning it
wasn't successful. Chris is diving just in front of me and in the distance there
are some whales. They keep going like back and forth in the peninsula. It's just
insane and apparently Chris can hear them on the water. They look like they're in the
time of their life. It's so cool to see. I went as well for a little morning swim. There was a
blowhole in distance in one of the caves and I was like splashing with the
Haita. That was really cool. It's an insane spot. I'm pretty sure we're
probably gonna stay again tomorrow because I'm not too sure if we're gonna
be able to find a spot like this with no one else around anytime soon. WA
coastline is gonna be super busy. So yeah, definitely gonna make the most of
this spot because it is incredible.
All right. Bigger blue bone than yesterday. So I don't actually have one
of those paper measurements anymore for WA so I need to get one of those. So it
is 54 centimetres. Minimum size is 40 centimetres so she's 54 centimetres.
That's probably gonna be two dinners for us which is awesome. So this guy was
hanging out into a ledge. I saw him. He shot away. That was when I was actually
kind of just snorkeling around the place at a rock out here. So then I decided to
go in for a dive but silly of me didn't press record on the GoPro. It's so
annoying because when I see a fish I need to remember to press record and by
that stage it's often too late. So it can be a real tricky one. So anyway
unfortunately I didn't get it on record but got the old fish. Got a really good
holding shot on him. It didn't fight at all and it was right in a cave. So pulling
it out really gently I managed to get it without snagging it all up and tearing
the fish apart and then swam it back to shore. Must have been maybe a good four
or five hundred meters offshore. So for me not too bad because I try not to go
out too far when I'm unsupported. So I'm gonna fillet it up, skin it again and
then we'll decide how we're gonna have it but we'll definitely have some fish
tonight. And this is the end again of another beautiful day. I've got the crew
watching. She's watching you cook. Tonight it's meals on dinner duty. Chris
catch the fish and I cook. It's been a bit of a slow day today. We haven't really done
much at all. Played with Oakley on the little mat for a while. We fed him some
icicles which was cool and we gave him a bath and now yeah just chilling out today.
He's happy as Larry. Yeah just chilling out. So tonight we are having blue bone is it?
Blue bone. We're having blue bone crumbed. I'm making a little mango salsa and I'm
gonna mash some potato with some garlic and olive oil. It's tricky because we
never know in advance you're gonna catch fish so we kind of like went last minute
to grab some ingredients but one recipe that I really want to do next time we
get fish that I don't have exactly everything for is a ceviche. So if
you've got any recipe for ceviche like your favorite one the way to make it
because I guess it's like some variation let me know in a comment because that's
one of my favorite fish dish. I don't think it would work with blue bone very well.
I'm not too sure as to which fish it would work with so yeah I'm not
nervous at that. Probably Mackie or Trevally or something like that.
Alright so you need to get one now. Yeah I do.
Alright dinner is served. Here you go sir. Thank you very much.
Sorry Oaks, not for you yet. It's very thin. You got some fish? Would you like to try some fish one day?
Yeah? Not too sure. Not too sure.
Alright, bon appétit.
