Appreciate the support Craig. Man I don’t know about that, the camera makes the viz look a lot better in this video. Day 1 I’d say a hazy 4m and day 2 a green 3m tops lol
Fair enough mate, I think that is pretty similar to what I had in the same spot. I tried around Peel, but the vis was less than a meter there. I'm still trying to get my first blue bone and you seem to find a few of them in the bay. I'll probably see you out there sometime while I'm trying to find one 😅
@@danyoungy This is just my opinion, and i'm not telling you what to do, you do whatever you like. But try not to spearfish Flatties, there whole existence is to camouflage to the bottom, They will be sitting there still and you can swim over them nearly grabbing them with your hand. If you want Flatties flick a rod it takes work sure, but they sitting ducks bro, hurts to watch. My only criticism. I don't know if you did it this video, i can't remember. But i remember watching a few others where thats happened. Please, it's just my opinion, you do you.
@@jamesrobertson8941 yeah I feel what you’re saying. I leave a lot of flatties. Although you still need to spot them & have to be careful you don’t get spotted and spook them , then you need to land the shot. Yes it’s pretty easy when you get practice at it but I don’t see anything wrong with selectively taking a few in the 40-50cm range, sometimes. I appreciate your thoughts though mate
Great vid mate, Jacko put me onto your channel 👌. I'm actually heading up that way in the morning with the mrs to check out where to camp in the future. We were going to look at kooringal to see if theres any spots there. Is that a paid or free spot?
Hey mate , I camped up a bit further from kooringal, just up past the big sand hills. Should be plenty of spots. I just booked/paid online. Pretty easy to find if ya search south west Moreton camping you’ll find where to go. Let me know how ya go
Last time I cooked like that I undercooked it and I was devastated. I count really cook it more because i had taken the skin off. I think it was due to just having come out of the cooler, ice cold, threw me off. I’m a Tim foil guy now
Ahhhh bummer mate! yeah I’ve always done tin foil as well. It’s definitely worth trying again on the coals i reckon, I’ll be doing it again & will try and nail the cooking time. I really enjoyed the fire/Smokey taste..
Thanks mate. I went Cleveland-Peel-North Straddie-South West Moreton on both trips there and back. So not exactly a direct route hahaha. If I took that route and didn’t stop driving I reckon it would take 30-40 mins…
@@stephensharry5503 hey mate stoked you’re enjoying the videos. I don’t bring a toilet, just a little shovel . Although if I’m close I’ll stop in where there is a toilet , such as peel island
Hay Dan looks like a great location i figer your on Morton Island and i have always wanted to take my boat there can you camp on any part is there camping fees ect any chance of leting me know what hoops to jump through to camp there cheers mate
Yep I was camped on SW Moreton. If you type South West Moreton Camping into google the first couple links will take you to where you need to book a camping permit. Magic spot mate you’ll love it
Oh mate, so sorry to see you hurt yourself - you looked properly shook up - hope it’s healed well and you’ve had no ill effects? Another awesome trip though - the sand mountain was amazing, I’ve never seen anything like that! Thanks for bringing us along!
Head is ok mate 😅 that island is one of my favourite spots, I think it’s the 2nd or 3rd biggest sand island in the world . Have you been on a trip in your boat??
@@danyoungy oh, it’s going to be a while yet mate - it’s deepest darkest winter here at the moment - it’s currently -2 degrees C with 60mph winds! To tell the truth, the boat hasn’t even been built up yet, the engine arrived at the boat yard last week, the boat itself is currently at the trailer factory, they’ve built a custom trailer, it’s being taken up to the boat yard in a couple of weeks to be put together. It’s actually a boat you might know, it’s a Smartwave 4200, made in NZ, I know a few places in Australia sell them. It’s a little centre console thing, Suzuki 50hp on the back. Nothing massive, but should be fun. I can’t see myself getting out on it before April to be honest, far too cold till then - I’ll do some videos over the summer - they won’t be as good as yours, but still looking forward to it 😅 Glad to hear the head is okay!
Hey man, if I’m going to head straight across the bay from mainland to Moreton, definitely look to pick good days with light winds. On this trip there was actually a bit of a SE , I went from Cleveland to Peel, straight across to Straddy, followed straddy all the way up to the top then cut across to south Moreton and worked my way up to where I camped. If you’re not in a hurry and want to get across without crossing and big sections of water it’s a great way to do it!
@@danyoungy awesome thanks man, im looking at buying a boat or tinny to get to moreton for day trips but i live around redcliffe, what size boat and hp would you recommend for going from redcliffe to moreton?
@@metsmokers1354 Also in the cooler parts of the year it’s a lot easier to go across with the light westerelys and so many glass out days… in summer just gotta watch out for those afternoon storms. Depends on your budget a lot & also how many people on board. I have a 4.2m with a 30hp and wouldn’t go any smaller for trips across to Moreton (even though it Would be doable) Something around 4.5-4.6m with 40-50hp I reckon would be the ideal boat for going over there regularly but a bit smaller like mine definitely is more then capable on a good day !
Get this man a medal😂 who gets hit in the back of the head with anchor and charges on with the trip! The lengths you go to for us viewers🤘
🤣🤣🤣
Top stuff as always Dan keep them coming the mad mullet 🌴🐟🍻😜
Appreciate it legend
Another great vid mate as always , careful with the anchor , may need to change your name to Dan Forth
🤣🤣 thanks mate
Nice gun
Yeooo another great adventure I’m hungry now could eat a well cooked flattt! Careful with the anchor and your big head 😂 ❤
Thanks mate 😆
I need a nice solid place to land the anchor so the tinny doesn't drift. Just above my ear and slightly towards the the back of my head should do it.
🤣🤣🤣 it was maybe the chain but even so , I have no idea how I managed that
😂
Really enjoyed your video Dan👍 seems like world away from the normal day to day rat race we're all facing daily ❤
Glad you enjoyed it thank you 🙏
So glad to see a new vid from you.
The vis is a lot better than it was today.

Hi mate just went past you on the pacific motorway near narang
Yewww 😆 was on my home from a little mission!
Where are you Dan, Thought Finders on Straddy. The camp site looks more like Moreton. No The low tide !
Camped at Moreton 😎
Hi Dan.. love your videos. How long did it take to get from the ramp to Moreton and how long on the way back?
Thanks mate. I went Cleveland-Peel-North Straddie-South West Moreton on both trips there and back. So not exactly a direct route hahaha. If I took that route and didn’t stop driving I reckon it would take 30-40 mins…
Nice man! Love it, bit lucky that wasnt concussion... i wouldnt tell my family unless they wont let me go fishing solo again! Need stiches?
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed. I went to the doc the next day & luckily it wasn’t as bad as I thought & didn’t need stitches 😅
@@danyoungy i await with baited breath for thy return
Hi Dan…. Enjoy your videos. When you camp on Moreton Is or Blakesley do you take a toilet with you?
Hi Dan.. could not see your reply re query?

@@danyoungy thanks mate
what sized boat is that, looking to do exactly what you do 👍🏽
4.2m with a 30hp. I might do a run down of the setup soon, even though it’s super simple. Yeww get out there and do it man!
Oh mate, so sorry to see you hurt yourself - you looked properly shook up - hope it’s healed well and you’ve had no ill effects?
