  • We made our way into Davenport Creek for some beaching camping, on our last stop in South Australia for this trip. We copped a massive thunderstorm that first night - soooo much thunder and lightning and plenty of rain which was awesome to give our setup a good wash off!
    Jed headed out for a recon mission once it cleared up the next day and managed to bring home some good King George and a few Hezza's too.

    Great video.
    Davenport creek looks the same as what it did in the late 80’s.

Cheers for the laughs Jed, I'm in for a storm too, but whiskey and and a storm - judging by Kels face that was a hell of a whiskey 🤣🤣btw great footage you got of the storm - and Kel! Well done on the video, ripper slaying session KG's and hezzas -smoko will be choice. Hope the NT treating you well. Stay safe, have fun! 😁💪🎣👍🍻

    Another fantastic spot. Reminds me of a dream i had the other night. Try to get our heavy hybrid caravan up a very similar sand track. Didn't make it. ahhaha. You should go back there, mate. Spend a few more weeks. That way, you can help pull us out. 😂 Lovely spot. 👌

      Isn't vinegar an acid? Like maybe not so good on an Ali boat? I was a big Pineocleen fan for most smells but this stuff Canesten Disinfectant Laundry Sanitiser, we saved a freezer that had frozen crays and fish in that a person unplugged and we didn't realise for 3 months over summer. Trust me when I say I'm impressed at what that laundry stuff did in getting rid of the smell, cause Pineocleen gave up.

    my favourite place to camp, those mangroves directly across from where you where camping hold Copious amounts of fresh wild oysters, easy to grab 20kg in 10-15 minutes wading in the mud, plenty of good KGW to be caught in the bay and Big Gummy shark in the channel entering the bay. be carful of the tides though, I've seen your campsite underwater, We usually camp at the wooden shades and park the cars as high as possible and leave the boat in the water for a week, peel and salt the cockles as you would pilchards for bait longevity. Keep a wood fire going 24/7 to keep the mozzies away

      Hey there Beno! Yeah right good to know mate! Was a lovely spot and can't wait to get back over there to explore more!
      Do you get Blue Swimmer crabs in that channel also?
      Thanks again mate and have a good one 👍 🍻

      @@oldmate_adventures yeah mate you should be able to, Summer would be your best bet for Blueys, I've caught them on baits while chasing the KGW so I assume nets would snag a few, Dabbing for Gar can be productive at night along the banks in the creeks too

    Great episode Jed might stop at Davenport on my way to WA do you think you would get a 16ft van in there? I have seen other UA-camrs camp there but you got to watch the tides I've been told.also you need to make your vids longer it's raining here in Adelaide and there's nothing to watch on TV.lol.😢

      Cheers Heath 🍻, yeah enter and exit at low tides makes it so so easy. Though once you get into the dunes be prepared for some pin striping on the van and there is one small sand dune you'll have to send it on. Take crab nets if ya into blueys as I seen shells everywhere.
      Haha sorry mate, 😅

    I’ve never ducked into Davenport Creek for a look on our 18 plus trip across the Eyre Hwy, might have to next time.
    How’s fishing in the NT going when you can get a line wet?
