I really appreciate your commentary on your dives, Kurt. I've learned heaps of things that have really helped my diving. I'm hoping to be able to shoot myself a jack soon.
Thanks very much mate, I still consider myself very much a noob as there is always so much to learn. I’m glad that I’m helping other people along the way! Thanks mate 🍻
Rippa content brother, definitely showcases our beautiful islands, best part is hearing your thought process on your dive. Keep it up, looking forward to the next one.
We love Jack Crack! 😂 I worry about you diving alone and stringing fish to your float line!! Keep up the fantastic vids mate, haven’t missed a single one!
Beautiful control on those Jacks Kurt…great example for newbies keen on the sport to stay calm, fish feel your panic. The calmer the spearo the calmer the fish and your success rate will skyrocket!! Great production, love it. 🤙
@@marcmccormack3549 Thanks very much mate, I had nothing but time. Doing those kind of trips where you have a heap of time and no need to be any where at any time is really good for the mind and body I recon. As a result your calmer, the fish are calmer, everybody wins haha.
Hey mate, loving the content. I’m a Mackay local and love getting out around these islands for a dive and a fish, it’s an abundance of life around them.
Hey mate, good content again. So good to see all the hard work in your boat build being put to use. I like what you are doing with your channel and I can’t understand why you don’t have more followers. Build it and they should come .
Thanks for the kind words mate, the channel is slowly getting there. I’ll just keep doing what I do and hopefully it will just keep poking along. Thanks again 🍻
You're vids make us so keen to get out there and amongst it brother, awesome footage as always and love the red tinge in the Jack print. Keep it up bro.
Thanks very much man. That was a trip of a life time, it was so good diving with all you guys. I still haven’t gone through the Long Nose footage, I will this week out at work. As for the writing….Trade secrets 🤫
Great little island patches there mate, it really does look like a dirty day at the reef. I agree about reel guns, haven't used a float in years other than a few specific scenarios. Too hard to go back to one full time, luckily we don't have the boat traffic up here to make it such a safety thing like down south.
I've been reflecting on the boat rebuild a bit lately. It's been 12 Months since I completed the rebuild. Probably time to make a bit of a shake down vid on the Haines...
Epic Diving Kurt!! I always love when I see you have a new vid up. Making me keen to move to Mackay. Currently driving trucks in a hunter valley coal mine, might have to try get the family onboard for a move north 🤞
Possibly a black Jew darting off to the left at the end? I was so focused on the fingermark I didn’t notice much else. The only time I’ve seen Jew is milling around with barra but don’t see them often around Ingham/townsville area. Also I’m guessing that’s the new camera? I’ve been looking at getting a new one, do you think it’s worth while?
@@Jonathon93 there was 3 or 4 Grunter mixed in with them. They were a species I wanted to land this year, hopefully I’ll get another go at them. Yeah new camera in this one, the DJI Osmo 4, the 5 is out now and looks really good!
Oh wow I didn’t even see them, definitely would be cool to shoot. I’ve only seen schools of them in snags but never really good size fish. I might have to look into one of them, they seem to film a little better then go pro’s like you mentioned in that past video
Great vid! I wish i lived closer to Mackay. I got to explore around the islands while I was working at Cape Hillsbrough for a few months and I just couldn't get over the fish life.
How good is Cape Hillsborough, I was actually saying today I might take the boys up there for a couple nights before Chrissy. We have so many different options around here, some amazing islands. Thanks for commenting and checking the vid out 🍻
Thanks mate, I’ve got a bit of a boat run down vid planned for the Haines, Probably look at putting something out through the ‘off’ season here. Thanks for watching mate 🍻
Looks like such awesome diving around that Mackay region so have to get down there one day. Really lovin your videos mate! Great to see someone who bleeds all their fish🤙🏻
There is some amazing ground just shore diving here in Mackay let alone what else we have out a touch further. We are very lucky here in Mackay! Thanks for the comment mate 🍻
Quick tip for you mate, Lowrance are dead easy to change the coord system in the system settings, can change to whatever your Google Earth is using, input, then revert back to your preferred coordinate system type.
Thanks very much mate. I try to give enough to spark a bit of the viewers own thoughts and get them thinking. I think that is the best way to learn and retain info🍻
Superb diving mate. I'm stuck with shore dives as of last weekend when I realised my transom was gone. Instead of the expense of fixing it I just sold the boat. Fingers crossed I find something to get out on this year haha
Damb that sucks, there is plenty of other options always popping up though. I shot plenty of great fish in my 4.2mtr SeaJay. I kind of miss that old tinny....
NOWWWW THATS HOW A REAL DIVERMARRN SUPPOSED TO DO IT BOYS….. NO BACK JUST ALL ONE MAN… MUCH LOVE BROTHER KEEP THE MAD CONTENT COMING BROTHER…. FKN ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT LEGEND 💯💯💯💯
It really is amazing, I was genuinely blown away at some of those spots I jumped in at! I’ve since been back to one of them for a snorkel with the boys. It’s such an amazing spot 👌🏼
Thanks very much. Check out the rebuild series in the Haines if you haven’t already. There is a dedicated Haines vid in the pipeline. I need to pull my finger out and get it done. Thanks again 🍻
@ExhaleAdventures 100%, mate, haha. I guess it's good, though, that it gives the fish a good chance as well. I love diving my local islands, but the vis varies from great to soup like 😂
My partner and myself tune in for every episode and have since we discovered your content which we love! Already looking forward to the next one! 😊
That’s awesome Makayla, thanks for checking the vids out! Plenty more to come 🍻
The fish print is all yours @makaylaking5277! Flick me a message on instagram!
@@ExhaleAdventureswoohoo!! Thanks heaps! Send you a DM 😊
These episodes have become my go to with a coffee on Saturday mornings before the family wake up.👍
That’s awesome mate, there will be another one out next Sunday/Monday. Thanks for watching mate 🍻
Jacks crack 😂 brilliant naming for the sounder.
Another great video.
Thanks for checking it out mate. I’m glad you enjoyed it 👌🏼
Those jacks always look so mean/badass when you pull them up. Excellent day two adventure mate.
Thanks very much guys, day three was amazing and I’ve done a heap of diving since then as well. Heaps more to come!
I really appreciate your commentary on your dives, Kurt. I've learned heaps of things that have really helped my diving. I'm hoping to be able to shoot myself a jack soon.

Thanks very much mate, RE fish on stringer- I don’t normally do it, I got slack and didn’t want to lose the spot haha. Thanks again 🍻
I reckon your vids have taken a huge step forward lately. Well done Kurt, and thanks as always.

Loving the voice overs explaining your process as you dive mate im learning heaps. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks very much mate, I’m glad your getting something out of them 🍻
Great video Kurt. My boss is a fan too and works in an office with no window so if I win, I will hang the print on his wall. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for checking the vid out guys, make sure to leave a comment on the next one for another crack at one!
Awesome looking coral alright. We take it for granted how good the Mackay coast is sometimes.
We really do mate!
Hey mate, loving the content. I’m a Mackay local and love getting out around these islands for a dive and a fish, it’s an abundance of life around them.
Thanks for checking the vids out mate. We are very lucky to have the fishery we have here locally 🍻
Hey Everyone - I hope you enjoyed that one! Make sure you leave a comment for your chance to take home that Mangrove Jack print!
Great ground for in close, awesome to see that amount of life and the fish are a testament to that
It was a magic couple of days, I have barely scratched the surface, there is so much ground out there!
Content just gets better and better Kurt
Thanks very much, i'm always trying to improve. I'm glad it's being noticed!
Hey mate, this is my second video of yours to pop up for me and really enjoy the content. Keep up the good work🤙
Thanks mate, I’m glad your enjoying them 🍻
Another great Vid Kurt. The vis looked amazing out there. Looking forward to Day3 👀.
Thanks very much mate. Day three is in the works!
got stoked when saw Exhale posted again and even cooler you got to shoot my fav fish the jack. Love the vid bro
Thanks very much mate. I'm glad you're enjoying them, there is plenty more to come in the future as well.
Pretty speccy spot there mate. Love seeing those crystal clear waters and big reef fish.
Some magic locations there. I can't wait to get back out that way and do some more exploring!
Again some great content. Thanks mate for putting the effort to get these out. It is really appreciated.
Thanks very much mate, it definitely takes some effort but it’s made a lot easier when I see the appreciation from everyone! 🍻
Been watching all your content for the past week. Absolutely love it. Heading out on Saturday for a bit of top water and bottom bashing
Thanks for the kind words, good luck getting a feed over the weekend, looks like some decent weather at the moment 👌🏼
Awesome work 👌 we're pretty blessed to have such a diverse fishery here in Mackay
Thanks mate 🍻. We really are!
Awesome video you are very patient on those big jacks! Looking forward to the next one
Thanks James, working on episode 3 at the moment. Thanks for your continued support mate.

Thanks for always watching mate. Hopefully this wind calms down around here so everyone can get!
Nothing like the freedom of a reel gun!
Oh Man, it’s so good. I’ve always run a reel chasing Barra. With good buddies and a good boaty, reels are mint out wider!
Another awesome vid man! Ben is right about the writing on your Gyotaku’s. I’m going to have to steal how you did that for the long nose 🤙🏼
Thanks very much man. That was a trip of a life time, it was so good diving with all you guys. I still haven’t gone through the Long Nose footage, I will this week out at work. As for the writing….Trade secrets 🤫
Awesome vid! Love the way you do your videos with the voice over explaining everything!
Thanks very much mate. I’m glad you enjoy them and hopefully you keep getting something out of them🍻
Great little island patches there mate, it really does look like a dirty day at the reef.
I agree about reel guns, haven't used a float in years other than a few specific scenarios. Too hard to go back to one full time, luckily we don't have the boat traffic up here to make it such a safety thing like down south.
When I’m solo I will nearly always have a float, unless I’m diving directly under the boat. I’ve had to many near misses even with a float!
What an awesome dive mission. You must be loving your new boat...
I've been reflecting on the boat rebuild a bit lately. It's been 12 Months since I completed the rebuild. Probably time to make a bit of a shake down vid on the Haines...
Yeaaa the jack crack 🤟🏻 love the commentary mate. Keep up the good work brus 🍻
I can’t want to get back out for some more exploring out wide of Jack Crack. Going to be some cool stuff out there I recon👌🏼 Thanks for tuning in 🍻
Epic Diving Kurt!! I always love when I see you have a new vid up. Making me keen to move to Mackay. Currently driving trucks in a hunter valley coal mine, might have to try get the family onboard for a move north 🤞
The hunter Valley is a beautiful part of the country. Plenty of coal mines up this way though!
Quality diving Kurt and the audio is awesome to cheers for the video
Thanks very much Britt, I’m glad you guys are tuning in and getting something out of it 🍻
Awesome video! Makes me feel better as I can’t get out here (Hinchinbrook region) because of storms. Love watching.
Thanks very much mate, I see a few guys heading out today from Hinchinbrook are, it looked stormy on the horizon in the clips haha.
Another awesome epic adventure love the quality of the video and great voice overs
Thanks for the kind words mate. It makes it all worth while 🍻
Awesome vid mate, love seeing what the local areas have to offer 🙌🏻
Thanks mate, we have some magic spots!
Another ripper video mate! Love a good Jack! Keep the great content up 🤘🏻
Thanks very much mate, there is plenty more to come 🍻
Living 300klm inland from the south coast. Watching your vids sooth the itch. thanks you
That’s good to hear mate, hopefully you get out again sooner rather than later!
Another great episode man, definitely don’t have to go to the reef to find epic coral. Can’t wait for the next one 🤙🏼
We are pretty blessed here that's for sure! Next episode is in the works 🍻
That teaser at the end of the fingermark is my favourite thing to see in the water, Really like your style of video, keep it up.
Hey, did you notice another species mixed in with them??? Have another look and let me know.
Possibly a black Jew darting off to the left at the end? I was so focused on the fingermark I didn’t notice much else. The only time I’ve seen Jew is milling around with barra but don’t see them often around Ingham/townsville area.
Also I’m guessing that’s the new camera? I’ve been looking at getting a new one, do you think it’s worth while?
@@Jonathon93 there was 3 or 4 Grunter mixed in with them. They were a species I wanted to land this year, hopefully I’ll get another go at them.
Yeah new camera in this one, the DJI Osmo 4, the 5 is out now and looks really good!
Oh wow I didn’t even see them, definitely would be cool to shoot. I’ve only seen schools of them in snags but never really good size fish.
I might have to look into one of them, they seem to film a little better then go pro’s like you mentioned in that past video
Another great video mate. When mackay is clean there is endless ground to explore such a great little bit of coast we have
Mate you know as well as anyone, we have it pretty good out here!

💯, so much more freedom! Thanks for you comment 🍻
Another quality video! Cheers for all the spearing content. Love to watch them especially when I can't get out on the water.

They are a cool fish, I can't wait to get back and do somemore exploring around that area.

Quick tip for you mate, Lowrance are dead easy to change the coord system in the system settings, can change to whatever your Google Earth is using, input, then revert back to your preferred coordinate system type.
I did not know that, but it makes complete sense hahaha! Thanks mate I’ll definitely make sure I have that sorted before the next one!
Love the vids, keep them coming. I was actually in Mackay in July for a dive job. Love the reef there, lots of diversity.
We are very spoilt around here thats for sure!
Great content again, dude. Mackay local waiting for the wind to stop so I can hit some google earth spots! Keep the vids coming.
Thats the go mate, I recon Mackerel will be on the cards when I head out next!

We camped on North West Island. Been going thee since 2002. Good fish this year. Best trout was 6kgs and Red Throat 3kgs.
Keep it up legend! Thanks for sharing the good times 👍🤘

Great video, can't wait to be out on the water. Currently a year deep rebuilding my V19 trying to keep up motivation and these videos definitely help.
Hell yeah, can't go wrong with a 19. You can see my mates rebuilt 19 in a couple of my vids! Awesome boat.
@ExhaleAdventures look forward to it 👌
