BIGGEST BARRAMUNDI and MUD CRABS for days | Camping and fishing in Northern AUSTRALIA
Рет қаралды 29,349
2 жыл бұрынDay 6 living from the ocean, rivers and the land deep in Cape Yorks wilderness. Its always easy enough to catch a feed of fish but this Barramundi was the biggest for the trip and makes all those nights sleeping in the trees worth while. We also find a patch of possibly 100 mud crab holes! What an amazing system this is. We feel so lucky to be welcomed into this country by its Traditional Custodians and given the opportunity to explore and fish these remote Australian rivers.
Thanks for watching legends!

@@WildReaches yeh bc it reflects real life situations and reminds me of real times I’ve had out in the bush. Rather than some ultra fancy unrelatable setup or some plan with padded cushions all around the outside of it. You gotta suffer some of the pain, struggle and unknown. Even if everything’s successful. It’s knowing that with 5l of water left you could be up sh*t creek soon

It's the drone footage that really puts all of this in perspective gents. This is such a unique part of the world and it really does kind of blow my mind. I can only imagine how it is on the ground. Keep it coming gentlemen.

It puts it into perspective for us on a daily basis too Teddy. Flying the drone each morning to get a lay of the land and river and just to get that feeling of just how remote we are.

That stingray at 20:34 brings back some good memories. I remember watching in awe in the Gulf as stingrays would leap out of the water onto muddy banks chasing mud skippers, then slide down the mud back into the water ready for their next launch.
