CROCODILES AT SEA! HUGE FISH and WILD SEAS | AN ADVENTURE not to be missed

- We honestly felt lucky to make it back to mainland... Episode 54 | What a WILD day at sea. We set out to find an island out off the Cape York Coastline and we got way more than expected. The fishing was insane on the way out with double hookups on HUGE FISH, Mackerel and Trevally. We had wild seas all day but the island we found did not disappoint. It truely blew my mind with an internal lagoon of crystal clear water and loaded with marine life... including a big SALTWATER CROCODILE, we did not expect this... We hear stories of crocodiles at sea but to see them was amazing. Hope you all enjoy it.

Many years ago - late in the 60s, I was serving aboard HMAS Diamantina, which was an oceanographic survey vessel. We were somewhere between Timor & Northern Australia, when came across, then drew alongside, an enormous salty. Judging his size in relation to the ship, we guesstimated his length (or hers) at somewhere between fifteen and eighteen feet. At the time we were more than a hundred to two hundred miles from the nearest land. Strange thing was the crocodile was quite steadily cruising along, heading a little northeast. Didn’t seem in any particular hurry…
The other incident that came to mind, watching your video, happened aboard the same ship. A common tactic with dirty mops was to put a couple of clove hitches round the handle & stream them over the side. Couple minutes in the briny at 12/15 knots and the mop came back sparkling clean. I was watching one of the crew doing exactly that one day. All he got back was about half the wooden handle. Whatever chomped it, must have been pretty substantial. Those of us standing about got a good laugh - made even better when the crew member came back spewing that he’d been made to pay for the mop.
Wow! What a thing to see! Sounds like an interesting life you have. Thanks for sharing that mate, amazing!
My dad has also seen a croc up here in the NT 100 miles from any land and I’ve seen so many out on coral reefs including a encounter way to close for my liking.

My old man reckons he’s seen a few white pointers down at the beach
Charlie just remember all comments either good bad or smart ass help the channel and the boys produce better content so cheers. Hope you have a good day.
@@madkeenbushman1958 Its pretty amazing how far they roam. Iv seen a documentary where a big croc is tagged and they track it from the territory right down thru the gulf, then up past Weipa to Crab Island for turtle hatchlings and then all the way back to the territory! crazy.
Wicked untouched place. Stoked to see you two having the best time up there. Keep making vids for the old boys
Will do Sam, thanks for watching mate
Phil Bevan and myself from school have been loving your vids and living through your lens. We're heading to Proserpine in two weeks fishing. Hope your both well
@@samforrest8924 ah Sam. I recognised the name but thought it must’ve been someone else cause you said old fellas! We’re still young fellas mate! Atleast for a few more years

Thanks Jay. That was an epic day, shame its hard to capture good audio in such crazy conditions but Im stoked you enjoyed it mate
Looks like the starke River ramp
Best Ep, Soo jealous. over this lockdown S#@t. just makes me hungry to go walkabout. Thanks for the inspiration & keeping me sane. Cheers from Newcastle nsw 🙏
Glad we're helping mate!
Cheers guy's , really enjoy watching
Thanks for letting us know Tim!
Well boys, Cheryl and I sat having our brekky watching this and we thought we were going to see breakfast on a return journey ! :( quite relieved when you got to the island. Loved this vid really, and the tip about fish packing in seal bags excellent. Looking forward to the next one, take care from the UK.
😂. Glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was a good day too. Hope you guys are well over there and spreading the Wild Reaches word! 🙏🏼
We do our best!
From a “Trevor”:I get a chuckle every time you say oh no it’s a Trevor lol. Great episode fellas. Bloody unreal that island. Have to get back there and spend more time exploring it eh?👍
haha, that must be weird! yeah mate for sure, spend a couple days out there in some good weather
Always worth a second viewing. Some audio problems but hell, you are out in the middle of the elements. Such a hot streak catching fish! Being on that little island was pretty sweet except it's like being at a buffet and you can't have any! Great content as usual and a big thank you gentlemen.
Thanks Teddy, definitely some audio dramas but so good to hear you still enjoyed it. Haha yep, it would be tough to spend a lot of time there and not eat anything! Not far to go to get out of the green zone tho. 👌🏼 ur welcome 🙏🏼
Awesome. Living the dream lads.
Thanks Ari, we agree!
Interesting comment on Viva toweling. Maybe Viva uses a different formulation in Australia ,but my experience with Viva in the US is that it leaves streaks and smears on my glasses, glass, and optics. I use it extensively on my guns ,fishing reels, and in doing household chores. Great product.
aww that sucks. Nope its always worked for me. Its great stuff hey
Great vid thanks guys
No worries Des!
Epic shit. So good guys
Thanks Mr Crank!
Cool.I really didn't want to watch it in 360p.Thank You.
I don’t blame you! Thanks for watching
The tax man in the grey suite
Glad you reposted it was hanging to watch it haha
Is it better quality?? Should be. It was blowing 25 knots so audio was tough
No judgement here anyway love the raw footage
Almost got seasick just watching the video! Don't know how you guys do it, but kudos on ya! Great adventure.
Haha yeah it was pretty rough
Wow! So many awesome moments my top two were the drone shots of ray! And you guys heading into that terrifying looking storm. I’m glad you’re both safe and back on mainland. Cheers from Chicago :)
Yeah how cool was that ray!
Amazing footage!
Thanks Harry
Love the Zero Tolerance knife....but are flick knives legal in Aus, worth checking. Cheers
It’s called a folding knife here in Aus. No button. So it’s legal and just as fast 👌🏼
@@WildReaches Awesome that's great... always good to see your gear...
just watching. now !! going for 720p.
Hope you enjoy it mate
@@WildReaches yeah mate that was really good! . is your next episode going to be more focused on 4wding ??
Spotted and school makeral are the pick in my opinion. Spanish,shark and grey makeral are just cat food in my opinion, just saying.😊😊😊
Great footage, though some freindly advice the fluctuating sound will do no Justice for your YT Channel. Maybe some nice music with some text, when the going gets tough/rough.
Thanks for the advice 🙏🏼
Lol. Better to keep it real 🤣🤣
Mustn’t have been fixed hey bud. doesn’t look any different to me on the big screen tho.
Twisted my arm I’ll give it another geez always good footage from you guys.
Hope it’s better the second time mate. Thanks for the support!
Wild Reaches alway happy to show my support to you guys your content is something I wish I could produce with the stuff I do in the NT.
When’s Dan coming on a trip?
He reckons the next one mate 👌🏼
Looks very exciting pity the Sound is very poor but good video
Yeah it’s tough in conditions like that to capture good audio. I’m sure we’ll get better at it tho
🤟🏻
yeww
Where's the YBS shout out 😂
