00:09Oh, yeah, that's a big fish
00:47all right everyone today we're going somewhere very special I'm standing up
00:53above a whole series of caves right here got a backpack full of fishing gear
00:58camping gear we're going to head down there and go for an explore catch
01:02something for dinner and the reason why this is so special is I have always looked
01:08at this set of caves and thought I'd love to explore them but it's always too
01:13rough to fish in front of them so I don't bother but today the weather is
01:17absolutely incredible there's like no swell so we're going to get down there
01:22fishing water level and seeing what we can catch for dinner let's get stuck into
01:27it cannot wait
01:41anyway we've just come down I can't believe I didn't film it I thought I was recording
01:47come down we have a cave here more caves around the corner there and I was just
01:53eyeballing right in here we've like really good looking water right in front of it
02:01as well let's have a quick look oh yeah yeah I've got the tent so I need a flat spot
02:18wow
02:19wow
02:23have a go at that
02:26that is incredible and I can just walk down and fish at the water's edge down there
02:32this might be my spot this is really nice but yeah there's more around the corner I'm going to go
02:37have a
02:38quick look there and then we'll figure out where we're going to set up
02:43well I actually brought a little bit of extra rope just in case I wasn't sure so
02:48I've come down here drop my gear there got another one there this is all flat too but
02:57I'm really liking that I've went around the corner really and then this is the mega set of caves
03:07wow
03:11yeah I like the look of this here
03:17I reckon I prefer the other spot this is all right I could fish here but it's a bit washy
03:25um let's go fish the other spot let's go set up in that first cave around the corner
03:31perfect I um I brought down a pole gaff slash net with me because we're fishing so close to the
03:38water
03:49okay I'm all rigged up we got the heavy set up which is 20k saltiga on an oceans legacy genesis
03:58pe8 rod 80 pound tas line on that reel and I'm going to be throwing a big 10 inch catch

04:06that's what that is we might swap out I brought a couple of stick baits I brought a few other
04:12things
04:13we also have the light set up which is a 4k certate 20 pound tas line on that reel on
04:20an oceans legacy
04:22dreamcast pe2 rod and I have a much smaller placky on there that we're going to be flicking around
04:27might pick up harley break see call on that might just get smoked might use it for bait
04:32let's get down there anyway I got some burley I'm going to put in the water that should get the
04:37fish activity going
04:40perfect only just long enough but perfect
05:07so
05:12so
05:13so
05:14so
05:47One more cast and I'm going to go to the light setter.
06:01Yeah, very quiet so far.
06:02I'm going to go for a bit of a walk around the other side, have a couple of casts.
06:05Might see if we can collect a couple of crabs for bait as well while we're at it.
06:09And maybe we'll catch something around there instead.
06:12But not much happening here so far.
06:26Oh, how's this for a spot to be standing casting?
06:30Wow.
06:42I've just put a fresh leader on and put a bait rig on.
06:46We've got three-way swivel, short length goes to a hook.
06:49I've put a nice juicy crab on there and snapper lead right there on a lighter length of leader.
06:58That's probably about a metre, metre and a half long.
07:08Oh, hey.

13:08wow
13:17wow
13:35This is just nuts, no good that places like this exist, it's just, and I get to come
13:48and check it out.
13:49And you guys get to come look at it, you guys get to view it, because I'm a mad man
13:56and
13:56I get to come look at it, look at this, look at this guy, just hanging out, that is a
14:02big
14:03bull ant with wings, what are you doing here?
14:07Well this spot is absolutely incredible, but I'm going to head back, get my backpack, get
14:16some firewood, almost wish I was having a fire up here, but it's alright, the spot that
14:21I am is amazing too, it's just, I don't know, this spot takes my breath away a bit, it's just,
14:29wow.
14:36Wow.
14:38Oh this thing's heavy, because it's got rocks in it, who put rocks in my backpack?
14:47like, far out, that's about as heavy as what I absorbed in with not long ago, oh, I'm just
14:58glad I don't have to carry any of it back out once I'm done.
15:14Whew.
15:36Tent is done
15:41Fire will go there
15:44And I've got ocean views
15:46Kick back, relax
15:48I think it's about time we fill out this Groper
15:51It's really nice and cool and shady in the cave
15:54Which is good
15:55But I'm going to get the fillets off
15:58And I have a cooler bag with some ice in it
16:00That will throw them in there
16:01That's where the break seatbelt is sitting at the moment
16:06So the Western Blue Groper is actually just a massive big wrasse
16:10They get way bigger than this as well
16:12This is a pretty average sized one
16:15They'll get over 40kg
16:17My biggest that I've caught is probably around 30kg
16:21They get pretty hard to stop after that
16:31There we go
16:32One very nice fillet
16:34Let's lay that to the side
16:39I'm just going to take a chunk off of this right now
16:43Sort of up here
16:46Look at that
16:46That is a lot of meat right there
16:49And that's just like a little part of the shoulder
16:52We'll bag that up separate
16:54And then we'll get these other fillets in bags
16:57Into the cooler bag
17:08Beautiful
17:20So here's a lot of meat right here
17:21Got some weapons
17:21What's the meat right there
17:22I do
17:23I like the meat and the meat
17:23I can eat
17:24From that medium
17:25There's this aboutгля Beetles
17:25Little gave me
17:25probe
17:37Then focus업
20:14A little bit more.
20:20Dinner sorted one, absolutely loaded fish wrap right there.
20:26Just a small piece of grime bar.
20:32It's going to have a piece.
20:37I've got my backpack here to sit on because everything's getting down, especially this band back there, which I think
20:44my tent is included in, but at least it has a good waterproof floor.
20:50I'm going to enjoy my dinner.
20:52Enjoy the view.
20:54What an epic spot this is as well.
20:58I'll definitely come back sometime if I can.
21:00I just don't know when I'll get weather appropriate fish down here again and then all the other ledges around
21:05the other side.
21:08Don't know.
21:21Good morning.
21:23Good morning.
21:23Just getting up.
21:24Just getting up.
21:25A couple of mozzies here.
21:26Hanging around waiting for me to come out.
21:28Not too many.
21:30Which is good.
21:32But I'm going to get up, cast a line in.
21:34It looks beautiful down there at the moment.
21:36We'll just fish for a little while this morning and then we're going to pack up and head on.
21:41And I notice after the sun sets, or even right now, the ocean sounds so noisy in here, back in
21:48here, even though it's so calm.
21:50It's got this real loud, booming echo.
21:53I was almost expecting to see a bigger swell this morning, but I did also know that it's just because
21:59it's dark and all your senses get a bit more heightened, so the sounds become a lot louder.
22:12Beautiful.
22:14Um, yeah.
22:15We'll get up.
22:16Head down.
22:18Through the last of the belly and cast for a little while and then we're going to move on.
22:33Is that a fish or a bit of weed?
22:39I think it's just a bit of weed.
22:51I certainly won't give it any slack just in case.
22:57Oh no, it's a fish.
22:59What have we got?
23:01I've put in a brake seat cod.
23:04I don't know.
23:08It came in like a lump of weed.
23:11I'm just going to throw him back.
23:13How's his swim blader?
23:14No.
23:15Swim blader's out.
23:15We're keeping him.
23:17Oh well.
23:18It's obviously pretty deep down there.
23:20Just a couple of casts this morning.
23:22We've already picked up a tasty little brake seat cod.
23:24I was going to throw it back but the swim blader's out.
23:27So, dispatch.
23:29Put it to the side.
23:30We'll head down.
23:30We'll have a couple more casts.
23:33It's fearless to take home which is always nice.
24:02A little fish.
24:06Felt like it came over a ledge.
24:10No, it's a fish.
24:13Brake seat cod again I reckon.
24:16Oh, a nut.
24:19Hey, if I wanted bait.
24:21So, I've just managed to foul hook a Western Kingrass.
24:23They are brilliant bait.
24:26Beautiful looking fish.
24:27I'm going to turn that into two fillets to send out his bait.
24:30Alright, just put my bait rig back on from yesterday.
24:34We have a very nice fillet there.
24:36I mean you can eat these fish as well.
24:39I don't know if I've tried it.
24:43Western Kingrass.
24:44I mean the fillets look amazing.
24:47And let's send it down and see if something wants it.
24:52Another fillet there.
24:54We got the headers rolled.
25:02Alright, that's me done.
25:04One fish this morning.
25:06No two fish.
25:07One turned into bait.
25:08I forgot about that.
25:09I'm going to pack everything down up there.
25:12Fillet the fish.
25:13Put it in the cooler bag and all that.
25:14And then we're going to haul out of here.
25:23Let's go.
25:29Oh yeah.
25:34Alright, let's go.
25:38Nice little backpack on.
25:40Time to climb out.
26:08Alright, we are at the top of the cliff.
26:10Everything in the backpack ready to get out of here.
26:12Epic little adventure.
26:14Caught something for dinner.
26:16Caught plenty more to take home.
26:18Checked out all the caves.
26:19That last one is absolutely incredible.
26:24It's a shame we didn't have a flat spot to pitch the tent.
26:26And somewhere decent to fish down in front of it.
26:29But, stoked I got to explore it all.
26:31The one I did camp in was absolutely smicco for it.
26:35And the fact that it had a spot to fish right in front of it was even better.
26:39Yeah, stoked on it.
26:40Anyway, thanks for watching everyone.
26:42Don't forget to like and subscribe.
26:44See you all on the next one.
