I only just found your channel the other day and IM OBSESSED BROTHER! How you can just calmly take on a solo adventure on just a random island AND be self sufficient is truly inspiring! Keep up the amazing work brother
He truly is an inspiration to so many. My gf has no idea where my sudden spur of cooking for her has came from 😂 i usually only man the grill otherwise she is the chef haha. With your inspiration I’ve transformed the way i cook. Cheers brother
@@advent4409🙄🙄🙄 .... I don't understand why anyone would ever have a hankering to make up some bullshit in an some lame attempt to cheapen an actual truly impressive feat/adventure for a VERY small skiff... especially being entirely Han SOLO.
Awesome skills in managing the skiff, lines, camera and the fish. Great catch, certainly deserving of more. Props for not hesitating a moment to release it.
It’s been a long time since I have lived by the beach but man I tell you what. There is no feeling like cruising on a boat in the water early in the morning and smelling the boat engine fire up. Paradise!
Fantastic Rod. This encapsulates a big fishing trip quite nicely. The massive hopes and anticipation; the fear of failing to catch anything; the effort and persistence; and the joy and relief of actually catching a decent fish. Looking forward to the next installment.
Taking the PF for the maiden voyage this weekend in the keys on a three day trip. Just waiting for my motor to arrive at the shop. Never a dull moment lol.
Great video. I feel your pain and joy. It's so much fun creating adventures, but more fun when you actually have interesting content to publish on video. Two days and no hits, very discouraging. Thanks for creating this awesome video.
Hi I just want to say I’m a 14 year old I just went on my first salt water fishing I normally only catch bass out of my kayak and I just want to do you have some balls to go out on the ocean on a kayak I don’t even want to take my waterproof phone out on my kayak I just want to say keep fishing and I hope your UA-cam stuffs blows up u should be at a million but time will soon show
@@cruickersss1407 ur a real d*ck, just had to tell u. That's a kids message and u just had to b a ass and say some negative sh*t. U need ur mouth re arranged, maybe get it wired shut so u can't say any negative things to kids.
Another great show Rod!!! Slow bite, but beautiful place. Love the adventure in the small skiff. Good fun. Thanks for taking us with you. Sometimes they come easy, sometimes we suffer for them. Water temp is everything sometimes. Always a joy to be out on the blue!!! Nice work.
What a wonderful adventure. Only the love for fishing, being patient and focused on what yo want will give you victory. And this is what you did during those days to finally get a great fish in an idyllic waters. Well done Rokkit! Regards!
This is exactly the kind of stuff I wanna do. But I live in a landlocked state. It’s just not the same doing this in a Smart Car, hooking squirrels and crows for food. I think people might stare.
Shoot them, squirrel tastes pretty good but crow tastes like hot garbage. Last overnight kayak trip I got a couple of the good tasting ones and they really hit the spot.
An easy decision between television and you mate. Really enjoyable and also informative. I've done an awful lot of Fraser by 4x4 but the inside is still a mystery to me.
Huge effort and planning, I tip my hat for your titanium ball bearings and making it happen. Yes, it's SO NICE but even better, Fraser Coast is a magic area. Eagering awaiting your next installment.
I like how you did the beginning of this vid. Fast forward part 1 into the exact spot it ended. Always a pleasure to watch your vids. Makes the work day go by faster. =)=)
U should really think about getting a head cam. The chest cam really sucks cuz all we see is the reel the whole time. At least with the head cam we get to see what your seeing, it’s way more enjoyable to watch. Just my opinion, thanks for the upload.
Andrew Rollins I get that but I’m pretty sure we’re are the ones watching the videos, shouldn’t u consider what your subscribers prefer. Like I said it’s just my opinion but if u watch The other Aussie UA-cam channels they use the head cam. I think it looks way better when we get to see what your seeing and not just watch the fishing reel the whole time. Again just my opinion
Andrew Rollins yeah agree I like when they talk to the camera also I’m just talking about while he fighting the fish. If the fish jumps with the chest cam we will never get to see it. I just think it looks way better with the head cam while fighting the fish.
Andrew Rollins I don’t know I watch a lot of guys that use head cams and it always looks really good. U can still see the reel when the fish is pulling drag and when it jumps u see it as long as the fisherman is looking. There’s a guy from America, his name is Robert Fields and his videos are amazing as well as Cavy and the Morning Tide Guys all use the head cam as well as other mounted cams.
After watching the last year of your videos I see now you had a small four stroke merc. It is my understanding it was a 6 hp. The bigger four stroke will get the same gas mileage as the smaller one as you are no where near pushing it. But clearly have guts when you need it. I love watching the evolution of a system. The rods forward is a huge improvement in my opinion over the kayak. Then new boat but no sounder.... then new sounder..... and so one. cheers. Best of luck fishing
More free advice... when we fish sturgeon we have a specific net/cradle/thingy for holding them. I would say they would work well on a boat like you have there as you would not have to bring the fish aboard. Bring in next to and then into the cradle so you have all the time you want for pictures but the fish is in the water not smashing you gear up and putting fish slime all over everything. great vid thanks for sharing.... even I was happy to hear that real sing out. cheers
Amazing video RodKITKIT I love the Fraser Island series and I love your UA-cam channel and your Content Keep up the amazing work RodKITKIT !! RodKitKit your are my favourite fisherman UA-camr and you are my idol fisherman as well !! I hope you catch monster fish at Fraser Island !! Cheers William !!
See you got that on bait....don’t forget your winning recipes that you use on kayaks.....use them on the skiff......live bait the buggers.......epic vid again love it!
Definitely tried most options, probably could have done a bit more live bait, just Disney seem like what I was there to do. I know one of the jet skis that were up there had some lives out for no hits... was soo slow! The non baited skirt was what got the Spanish first but I had a gar on the one that got hit while sinking down. Got so lucky to find a bunch of feeding fish.
Another awesone vid Rod. Well done on the spanish. Can't wait for the next vid. And that track by Gate just adds an awesome feel to the vid. Keep it up!!!!
@@rokkitkit you did use it in your NZ trip when you were fishing off a shelf from the shore and had the drone fly above you. Still the best bit of camera footage and sound clip ever IMO. Keep em coming man!!!!
Aah true I did use it in the middle of the last Jervis Bay vid... but I only used that song last minute as the one i had got copyrighted... so I always wanted it to have a really good vid to give it the attention it deserved 👍 Crazy good build up!
@@rokkitkit yeah, the Jervis bay clip you used it. Just watched it on your FB page again...... yeah it has an slow but intense build up. Been listening to in on soundcloud since you shared the link.
Looks amazing I am originally from cairns but we moved down to Vic. But we come back to visit and Queensland is amazing, gotta watch out for those dingos there, they are 100% dingo no hybrids how about that
Great video! That's why they call it "fishing" instead catching right? Haha. Glad you stuck a nice one man! I really enjoyed this one. They're not all banner days, but I still love them regardless.
In times of dire crap fishing,always keep a couple of Mepps spinners,gold and silver, you can chuck them or troll them very slowly, I have never known them fail ! I have caught some horrible little fish though.
Good stuff Rod, you can't catch 'em if they aren't there mate! Good that a couple of good mackerel showed up for you. I can't wait until they're down this way again over Summer! Good videos! Cheers
Yeeeew solid video Pretty chuffed on how your content has jumped from awesome to frikken awesome bud! Can see the hard graft you putting in at editing and also fishing. Cheers pal ✌

Wow. I am so jealous of your trip. It is absolutely gorgeous where you are at.Thank you for uploading the video and showing another side of the world!

Cheers Mark, yep as soon as I started to find 23º I started to find more action. nothing came easy unfortunately, but such a beautiful place.
Your channel has caused me to add many extra bullet points to my bucket list camping like that in such a place sounds amazing
Years ago I ended up on that same beach, as beautiful as what it was, I really felt as if I was so remote from civilisation.
8:15 the time lapse's where spectacular
Nice adventure brother
I like that .
You need to carry some one else with you
Be safe

Cast Inlead nothing like homemade biscuits and squirrel gravy.
Cast Inlead lol you’ve tried crow? That’s crazy. I hate them enough to want to eat them just in principal. But I doubt I could really do it.
Five seconds in and I had to pause the video and give it a like instantly! Those drone scenes were spectacular! Awesome series!
What a beautiful place and Awesome b roll of the clouds rolling in before the storm amazing Spanish mate well done
