Chasing Winter Blues | The hunt for a Giant!

Ahoy Team, this week you join me as I chase the winter blues and go hunting for a giant mackerel. The plan is to troll large baits around, but it quickly becomes apparent that hooking a mackerel small enough to land might be more the problem! I hope you enjoy the episode!

That’s parenting done right mate. My daughter was about her age when she tried fresh oysters for the first time. She’s almost 22 now and the first person to grab a rock and smash oysters off the rocks whenever she can. A million thumbs up to you mate

Mate, loved this ep, Billie is a complete champ and so nice to see a kid embrace tastes and textures that too many kids are deprived of. Onya.

I still find it funny that in Queensland limit of 1 per person, or Max 2 per boat, but when the same fish migrate south into NSW, they're no longer endangered and the bag limit jumps to 5 per person. 🤔

@A.C._Taylor 10 күн бұрын

Well in all fairness, fish do lose weight after a night of being stored. I don't think it would be a loss of 1.5Kg in this case. Doesn't matter because that is still a lot of high quality mackerel. Good on you for introducing your daughter to proper food. I can relate as I was raised on a mixed operation farm and also into a family who hunts, fishes, and forages. We produced, hunted, and collected over 95% of what we ate/eat.
