40 years ago my Military Police platoon did an adventure training exercise; paddling Canadian canoes from Windsor to Wiseman's Ferry, camping along the way. It was a memorable experience. Watching your video brought back a lot of memories.

Oh really? That’s awesome. They did look pretty legit but I figured since it’s such a easy access spot for people in boats, that perhaps someone drew them in modern times.

Love the vid. Loved in the area for a long time. Your Yowie comment brought back memories from a long time ago. I grew up in South Africa, went to Scouts etc and joined Mountain Club, loved hiking. Slept under the stars on river banks and on mountains in summer. Moved to Aus with my parents when I was a teenager. One camp out with friends in Royal Nat. Park - stories of Yowies abounded around the camp fire. It was summer and tent space was limited, so I elected to sleep outside. During the night, I heard "footsteps" and was petrified. Froze in my sleeping bag and eventually opened my eyes to see deer walking around the campsite. I am back in South Africa and can sleep safely under the stars again, Yowie-free.

I love the Hawkesbury and all that sandstone! One of my favourite places to explore - except for where there's the dreaded Hawkesbury River mud at low tide. Also, those drawings of fish looked authentic to me. There are many recorded Aboriginal sites around Cowan and Berowra Creeks including middens, hand stencils and drawings in caves right near the water.

Too often I've tried to edit out the sounds of cars and planes in my vids ... but it's the reality of being out in some of these places. It's still so beautiful in a place like that even when it is a bit more developed then what you'd be used to. Also cracking weather.

I've been looking at dry duffle bags for a little bit now and that S2S bag is real nice, but WHEW the price tag comes with it. I think I'll most likely end up going with the dry bag company that Gatewood Brown (fellow river adventure youtuber, fantastic videos) started called Remote Designs, imo it's probably the best "bang for your buck" dry duffle and backpack I've found so far.

Scott - for tidal fishing it’s best to try starting about 1 hr after low tide with a window of about 2-3 hrs. Also lures do work but fresh bait like pilchard, prawns and yabbies do best. If you are fishing lures I have found that soft plastics with added flavour work well. Good luck next time. Great vid as always!

@philmenzies2477 11 ай бұрын

Also, winter time the best bait is live. Fish are lethargic and need something to get their attention. Lures and dead bait are good options for when the water warms up.

Scott, if you can’t use fresh bait (prawns) use a soft plastic! Imitation prawn 2”(60mm) or 3” (75mm) in a green colour 👍🏼 it might just work 😉. Cheers 🍻

Another epic trip on the books! You are quite fortunate to live so close to so many wonderful locations. That calzone looked scrumptious, I'll have to give that recipe a try! I guess by the on-line description of a yowie I might look a bit like one to some, (except I have hair everywhere except the top of my head) but I can assure I was not anywhere near your camp. 😆😂As for the fishing? I've only fished salt water once from a boat. We went out quite a ways and the deckhand handed me a rod with a large shiny pyramid shaped weight on it with a hook attached. He told me to drop it over the edge of the boat and when it hits bottom to bring it up about a foot or two off the bottom and jig the line a bit. I did as instructed and began catching black sea bass with astounding regularity. I have no idea if such tackle or method would work in your location or not. From what I recall I believe the tackle I was using has the appearance of a herring to game fish?? All I know is that I had a great time and even caught a striped bass that was a keeper. The first one of those I caught was about 42 inches long and the captain said it had to be released due to slot fish fishing regulations it was over the maximum length to keep. I caught a few more, but they were under the minimum length to keep, but finally I caught one that was just right. I ended up with one fillet from that fish and it was cooked and devoured with gusto by my family that very night.

When it comes to the canoe and fishing I suggest a much longer paddle like 240 to 260cm and try to always be trolling all day long. Adjust the weight you troll with based on your expected speed and water depth. Use stronger line for trolling than you would use for casting. And wow that's a nice pack! Omg it's $400 USD!! Wow. There are definitely better options if you consider the price. I got one from SeaCow for half that price, granted it's not quite as pretty and the zipper is really stiff but it leaves a little more funds in the bank to go on trips.
