The fisheries guy's should carry flare kits and sell them to fishermen when they're in remote locations. Do this instead of fining people, now they're compliant. You could get a fine every day if they wanted to follow you around.
sO DO THEY CARRY LIFE JACKETS, RADIOS, ETC.ETC. tHE CAPTAIN OF THE BOAT IS 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY.... wOULD YOU EXPECT A LAND BASED COPPER TO CARRY ROADWORRTHY TYRES AS SPARES AS WELL IN REMOTE AREAS? aLS FLARES ARE AVAILABLE AT wEIPA, cOOKTOWN AND kARUMBA.
Flares last 20 years, what a cop-out. Easy to throw fines about when there's no skin in the game and the people supply everything. Nothing worse than a gubberment stooge who hands out fines that has zero efrect on safety. Legalised theft and karma gets those narcissistic parasites eventually
Please let me know where you get your flares that last 20 years from, I have personal experience of 4 year old flares failing. Have you fired a 20 year old flare and had it work?
Flares save lives and yes they do last a long time but this isn't like driving in a car the ocean is a harsh mistress. Cop the fine on the chin and make sure your solas gear is in date
Top notch video again boys. The production gets better and better as you go along, and I can't wait to see the next few episodes! Have to say im jealous, a trip my grandfather and i always wanted to do in our reef boat was to go from weipa to the torres strait and back and you guys are pretty much doing the opposite! Unfortunately he is about to sell our reef boat as he is becoming too old to do big trips anymore, so i want to get up there one day and do it in his honour. Good old fisheries are always around hey! Especially up the cape, ive had more encounters with them there than i do here at home in Tully. They've always been pretty decent fellas though. Sucks about the fine - i nearly got done for that a few weeks ago, thankfully my Fiancee reminded me to get new ones 😂
Cheers mate!! Yeh we’ve been wanting to do it for years and it was bloody amazing! Fisheries were good to deal with. The fine sucks but they’re just going their job. Otherwise they were really helpful showing us the way in the mouth and giving us a few local tips 👍
got to fill there quota they are just stealing our cash not safety, Most accidents are caused by poorly designed and badly maintained roads.. Were are they strict on this ? just a money grab don't let them tell you its safety. The Police know the system and the quota for the amount they steal per day. Order followers even if its not right they should refuse to do it, Do you agree ??
Is what it is. I guarantee if those flare have been properly looked after they will work. Ive had fisheries try a seize my old flares. They can ead if I need one flare I want a dozen
Look fellas flares can sit in your boat never get touched or used so it’s easy to over look expiring dates, the fisheries bum wipe could have given him time to correct and replace the flares with a fair warning , fine straight up is bs unless he has been warned before then the fine would be deserved , I never had a fire extinguisher on my boat once and just gotta warning because of you carry a Battery onboard anything could go wrong ie, fire , anyway I put one in my boat soon as I got home also I wasn’t wearing a life jacket got a warning for that so I wear one now all the time when on my own , I think fisheries could cut some slack with a warning like I say unless the person has been warned and fined before then deserved, just my 2 cents worth guys.
Yeh it’s a tough gig mate. They were quick to try and claim the captain title when everything was going smooth but ran for the hills when the going got tough 😂😂
So don’t usually put my 2 cents worth in but love your work. Hard to tell on my little iPhone but what you thought a tomato cod look to me like a coral cod but didn’t know you could get them that small..! 😂
Cheers mate, yeah it was a small one! 😂 We’re still not sure what it was… We thought the coral cod still had blue spots or markings. Will have to do some more research 👍
At the end of the day they have a job to do, we know the laws, gotta cop it on the chin and move on. Everyone forgets to check every now and then, complacency, memory, busy lives and excitement before a trip can all be reasons why we forget. Fair bump play on Oh yeah, videos just get better and better.
@@TrueNorthAdventures I just checked and they say not needed in smooth waters, being rivers etc and within 1/2 a nautical mile of shore. There maybe something that says if you are equiped for outside of smooth waters (as you guys are) and do carry flares they must be within date. Would have been a been a good point to bring up at the time, posably gaining some leniency but too late now.
Yeh they were about 14 months out of date. Stuff up on our part but we just hadn’t used the boat for nearly a year and completely forgot to check the dates before our trip 🤦♂️
Yeh it was vs the bunnies last season. Good game if you’re a raiders supporter 👍 Unlucky that you’re going to lose the first game of the year in Vegas 😜😂
When travelling remote this safety equipment sort of stuff is particularly important. Good to see they actually fined you as warnings usually don't have much effect. Onboard my vessel is a few rocket flares and distillation kits which aren't required for that vessel size but are far more visible and the ability to make water out of Seawater may save your life one day too. . Good content though and I respect this being included. Despite being shit fishos the episodes are worth a geez. Well done.....I'd recommend trying some of the old dog lures made over there in QLD. Designed by Dave killalea the previous owner of killalure.. He has sold the okd dog lure company now too though . Old flares are good to get big bonfires going too but I still keep a few onboard as I've seen 10 year out of date ones work fine when stored properly
We agree, unfortunately the flares were just a couple of months out of date and we are 100% confident they would work exactly as intended. New flares are on the boat now though.
Easily my favourite 4x4 adventure channel on youtube at the moment.
Cheers mate!!! Thanks for watching 🍻

Yeh not a bad idea. Be better than a fine and then leaving you with flares that “don’t work” 🤷♂️

The wankers could have given you a warning and told you where to get some new ones.

@TrueNorthAdventures glad you fellas had a good time
Thing is you were getting a fine no matter what. They keep looking till something sticks. It’s shit tbh

@russells220 dad's boat
Dance of the sugar plum fairy so good 😂, was not expecting Tchaikovsky in a TNA episode, 10 points to the Ed.
That groper was quick!
Props to the editor! 🙌
Great video boys 😎
Cheers mate!

Alex is more than happy to pay the fine for you 😂
Money bags 🤑😂😂
It appears that issuing the infringement/fine is more important than rectifying safety equipment.
Wouldn’t be a bad idea if they carried flares that you received along with the fine. Can’t see that ever happening though 🤷♂️

Another good ep boys. Good reminder about the flares too
Cheers mate! 🍻

😂😂
Damn boys, that fishing was off tap - can't believe the size of that Groper and how it just inhaled that other fish 😅😂 so.... Who's the captain now?
Awesome ay!!!
the boys quickly named Stevie as captain again when the fines started getting waved around 😂😂

Yeh a warning would have been nice... 😂 Not too upset at the end of the day. Now safetly dates is on the trip check list 👍
Stevie, sorry i mean Captain it must be tough for you keeping these boys under control, you have to do everything💯
Yeh it’s a tough gig mate. They were quick to try and claim the captain title when everything was going smooth but ran for the hills when the going got tough 😂😂
That groper, holy moly.
I remember a huge one off the Cooktown jetty years and years ago, was about that size.
Bloody scary fish when you’re not expecting to see it! 🤯
Good video fellas
Glad you enjoyed
This episode was all fishing fantastic
Cheers mate!
We have big grouper in the U.S called Goliath grouper. I’ve got 2 to the boat that would go 250lbs. Fun fish but one hell of a fight.
They sound like a beast of a fish! The Queensland grouper are an awesome fish but are a no take species here so you cannot fish for them.
Another great episode guys.
Cheers mate! 🍻
So don’t usually put my 2 cents worth in but love your work. Hard to tell on my little iPhone but what you thought a tomato cod look to me like a coral cod but didn’t know you could get them that small..! 😂
Cheers mate, yeah it was a small one! 😂
We’re still not sure what it was… We thought the coral cod still had blue spots or markings.
Will have to do some more research 👍
Am I the only one that thought Gropers were friendly? That was unreal.
Haha definitely not friendly 😂😂
Lovely ep and spots and fish guys,
Cheers mate!! Awesome part of the cape out there 👍
He flirts with the Law too much 😂🤙
😂😂
That was true Marc gold
At the end of the day they have a job to do, we know the laws, gotta cop it on the chin and move on. Everyone forgets to check every now and then, complacency, memory, busy lives and excitement before a trip can all be reasons why we forget. Fair bump
play on
Oh yeah, videos just get better and better.
Yeh that’s it mate.
Cheers for watching 👍
Top episode yet again, keep up the good work. Did you actually need to have flares so close to shore?
Cheers mate! Pretty sure you have to carry flares on all registered boats in QLD… best to check with maritime safety to be sure though.
@@TrueNorthAdventures I just checked and they say not needed in smooth waters, being rivers etc and within 1/2 a nautical mile of shore. There maybe something that says if you are equiped for outside of smooth waters (as you guys are) and do carry flares they must be within date. Would have been a been a good point to bring up at the time, posably gaining some leniency but too late now.
When is the stand up comedy tour starting Marc? Fishing and UA-cam you’re good at. But fuck me you’re funny!
Please don’t egg him on… 😂😂😂
Barracuda hunters😂
It’s not the title that we want but we’ll take it… 😂😂
@@TrueNorthAdventuresgreat show today
Flairs were out of date in 2022 i thought i heard him say..
Thats just slack😮
Yeh they were about 14 months out of date. Stuff up on our part but we just hadn’t used the boat for nearly a year and completely forgot to check the dates before our trip 🤦♂️
Unlucky as Fisheries don’t have the budget to work a weekend most weekends let alone up there.
luck isn’t usually on our side 😂😂
Just needed to catch a Potatoe Cod and you could have made a Cod salad.
Haha gold mate!
Good to watch something legit instead bullshit of $$$$
Thanks mate! 👍
what league game were you all watching? raiders v rabbitohs? old game? ...... next year im telling ya.... next year.... UP THE WAHS .... ;)
Yeh it was vs the bunnies last season. Good game if you’re a raiders supporter 👍
Unlucky that you’re going to lose the first game of the year in Vegas 😜😂

Thanks mate, safety is a huge priority when we’re out there. Appreciate the support!
Its not hard to make sure your safety equipment is current. It could cost a life if it isn't. Flouting the law is a bogan attitude.
We agree, unfortunately the flares were just a couple of months out of date and we are 100% confident they would work exactly as intended. New flares are on the boat now though.
