Andy's fishing hey everyone its Andy
here it's a bit of a different mission
today as you can see there's actually
Ruth in the back here that so now is mum
and now is driving the car yeah we're on
now is two thousand acre property in
northern New South Wales and it's a real
mission today because we're trying to
get to a river it's got fish in it so
yeah we're not sure if we're gonna get
down there but I have a look what we did
yesterday it's it's pretty wild and
there's more wildness adventure coming yeah
check this guy idea this is an echidna
only found in Australia and they eat
ants and there's no way I can get him
out there now not that I really want to
yeah they bury themselves in and push
their spikes up like this they're pretty
cool critter they're um actually an
egg-laying mammal and they're not
related at all to porcupine or hedge
hog or anything like that
and there he was really shouts bite what
let this guy be that's cool define that
huh you see
that's just my tyre getting torn just engaged I
think I'm running on three tires that's
why they make them with four say you've
got extra one
so this is now a hard at work where I'm
just replacing this lovely tire all
right yeah so like there's a little bit
of damage there's wire sticking out but
the good thing is we made it back up the
hill without having to stop and change
tires cuz yeah his spare was flat so
we're gonna try and get down to the
river today yeah catch some lunch catch
some dinner don't know how long it's
gonna take
we may not even get there but give it a
shot
it's five years I can if the paddocks
clear yeah so we're just trying to find
another shortcut here it's gonna save us
a couple of kilometers if we can get
through this this Creek here looking a
bit rugged yeah actually this isn't bad
here see how big the wheelbase I reckon
this could work here
I'm just worried about this edge here
I have that feel you while you business
are mostly from the kilocalories I like
this sort of angle but I think I had
four wheels on the ground
it's nice yeah I'm going through it you
can see all the little trees that no is
chopped down with his brush cutting
blade to bury impress it a little blade
and there's his Ruth doing a bit more
clearing I'm generally doing the big
branches and she's doing the the small
ones so but I mean that's what it looked
like before we before he cleared it it's
interesting it's exploring on a whole
different level I think we're actually
doing quite well we were maybe doing two
to three hundred meters an hour I'm just
driving the car up to where the others
are
pretty buggin we've come how far we come
four and a half days maybe
yeah maybe five five days and we've got
500 metres to go actually now we've got
300 metres to go but we're just gonna
have a little little rest I'm going to
make a little soup this is really cool
it yeah makes things hot real quick
and you guys are gonna have a cup of tea
and coffee I'm having a noodle these
guys are having cups of tea or coffee or
whatever and Noah suggested that I have
a little fish and our three makes us a
cup of tea in this thing this is very
nifty isn't it it's the first time I've
used it actually a couple of minutes and
we all had yeah yeah so what now
suggesting is that I don't have a fish
while he keeps working with I'm really
cool with but we have come a long way
and we've done really really well today
so I'm gonna go catch a fish and
hopefully we can catch it either for
dinner tonight
and now is actually cutting a bit more
while I'm walking but I'll see you in an
hour now where'd it go it's gonna be a
challenge we had look at the little map
on my phone and it's about 200 odd
meters through here so I shouldn't take
us too long this is what now has been
here brush cutting through for the last
two days really so yeah anyway let's
keep going see it the water and you can
tell here that the forest is changed
went down actually on the top of the
riverbank at the moment it doesn't look
like it cuz it's grass everywhere better
not get too excited i don't don't--i
scream and yell too much it sounds quite
low
I was expecting a little bit more water
than that but first pot first pot the
cast will be right yeah that it's like a
big root ball
she would have nice deep water under it
so the rod I'm using is a temple Fork
three piece travel rod some very nice
little rod and the reel is a battle what
is it battle four thousand battle to
four thousand quite nice as well I'm
just gonna put on whatever this guy is
here I am I bought him on my last trip
but never used him so it's a surface
surface lure nice good drag yeah it's
actually quite shallow like maybe maybe
two foot just here but it's it feels
like I'm the first person in here I
guarantee there's not a lot of people
come in here to come this cast
nothing on the first cast but that's
alright I like how this lure works it
beside what struck all there is again
that was a fish he's still too early
that was a fish this is only the first
little pond I could still hear now a
chainsaw brush cutting so we're good to
go I'm gonna have another go in there
but that that was a good sized fish
maybe around the 60 centimeters this is
so cool we spent two almost two days
getting in here and I've just missed a
fish so that's why I missed him the
hooks are tangled up that's some that's
bad actually
alright hopefully he'll come out again
I'm not sure if you will buy
all the Reese's looking at it he's
looking at it he's looking
oh and you didn't like it I think you
remembered it from the last time I'll do
one more cast but I think that fishes on
to us
got him yes it's only a little one I
think I think he's undersized this one
but we've got one how cool is that okay
I don't even fight himself out a little
bit Murray cod in a remote little Creek
this is cool this is so cool okay let's
get him in just get a measurement first
you know he's about one or two
centimeters undersized ah look at that
ah beautiful Murray cod and the other
one the other one that came out before
he was actually probably 10 centimetres
bigger so he was legal size but this
guy's at least I'm gonna say 2 to 3
centimeters
undersized so you have to lean go this
is so cool
way cool very cool so I mean there's not
much here it's an overhang tree a little
bit deep water and a couple of rocks and
that's what held him so well actually
we'll go further out look at these
boulders up here that looks like really
good country further up actually that
root ball looks pretty good too so
that's let's get this decent one we need
we need one that's between 55 and 75
centimeters
oh that's a good one
yes oh I think this is the one he's not
too big oh yes I'm glad I had another
another couple of guys there I thought
I'd go up that way a little bit and yeah
then I went back in here works he's
quite big he is a big fish he is a big
big fish we Stiring the bottom up trying
to knock that lure out actually that
Lure is right a nice build that is a good
size I mean just got my lip grippers out
these guys tend to shred you a little
bit okay oh that is actually a very nice
fish what's ours yeah that's 52 yeah
it's under 75 and it's over 55 that's
our dinner look at that oh sorry fish
normally I'd let them go but we've come
all the way in here very few people ever
get in here and I think there's quite a
few in here well we'll fish a little bit
longer but I'm gonna take this one for
our dinner tonight that's that's
something yeah plenty for the three of
us what a beautiful fish I did a proper
measurement in any 72 centimeters so
it's definitely a legal fish I'm gonna
see if there's any more in here but this
is gonna be our dinner anything else I
catch now 100% let it go yes I'm walking
through here these these aren't people
foot prints these are all animal
footprints you can see little dots going
that way little dots going this way it's
somewhat some of these are kangaroos
like yeah the paw prints that that there
that's a foot whole foot of the kangaroo
so it's really cool some little oasis in
the middle of like a really dry
countries it's very dry country
and these water holes they they really
concentrate the animals I can hear you
now are getting really close but I want
to fish the end of this pool there's
some big rocks whether it's like a
waterfall comes down and I really want
to fish it so we'll just run up there
really quickly and I think he's just
about finished he sounds like he's about
50 meters away so he'll be happier we've
got fish but I just want to fish that
into that pool check out this it's like
moss on top of like and that's really
pretty that's nice I like to look at ya
like nature as on exploring and it's
just cool to see all the different
things like obviously the waters
normally you see the line there that's
where the water normally is so it's very
low water at the moment but yeah there's
still fish in here they um they have to
be in here so let's try if she will
sneak around this corner here and fish
around here I think that's gonna be
really deep there
didn't our yourself add a little bit I
thought if I walked it around here there
had to be one in this corner just had to
be actually will swing around this way
I don't know lift him up by the lure
that is careful
that is cool I love it when fish do
unexpected things and that was yeah that
was very unexpected for me let's get the
yeah they do have a little raspy mouth
he is just undersized again I think it
could be close to size its have a quick
measurement that's 26 you know he's
probably just undersized but beautiful
beautiful Murray cod I love little white
bits on their fins and these guys a
little bit skinny cuz they're not
getting a lot of food with the water so
low and I think the biggest food either
diet is like yabbies and shrimp and now
when the waters too low like this
there's not much food to say
how cool is that fish there was like a
little little L shape like a bay and I
knew it was deep and I just put that
lure in front and I knew one had to come
up sooner or later there might be a
little bit dopey the waters Loco bleah
quite warm but yeah that was cool okay
this is gonna be the last little section
I think cuz we've run out here but yes
good good country in here a lot of
boulders let's see if we can coax one
yeah I mean I've already had a great day
helping now I open that road that was
just just really cool and then coming to
a spot that we um we suspected had fish
neither survivor
fished in here and then to pull out at
least three fish so far it's just really
cool and not yeah
amazing Murray cod so that's really cool
and everyone if you want to see me come
back here I've got an idea I want to get
Sully which is Noah's son onto a good
Murray cod so everyone like comment let
me know if you want to see that video
and we'll come back here and I think
Sully's like 8 or 9
he hasn't caught a big fish yet so I
think that would be really exciting for
him anyway let me know thumbs up
comments let's go and go and find Noah
and his mum and we'll see what the
reaction is to the fish and then we'll
go and cook it alright so yeah brush
cutters definitely stopped so I think
it's time to go let's see what Ruth
thinks of this fish
hey you Ruth look at that it's so it's
it's a nice fish in there yeah so this
is the same bit I filmed before and now
I has in an hour
brush cut about 200 meters of Bush
that's pretty cool let's see what he
says about mr. fish I reckon he'll be
very excited is Noah what do you reckon
it's not bad is it
yeah finally I'm three centimeters below
maximum legal so look at and you did an
amazing job all the way down the wall
yeah it's amazing it was amazing totally
amazing let's go eat but how good is
this track
something like a drive through the
forest literally on Lok through the
forest just go and check it out this is
the the first crossing we did today and
we had a bit of a slippage before on a
rock so we don't want to go across the
if it's gonna be slippery
yeah okay yeah a little bit a little bit
that left oh there's a deer on the
ground
we're in trouble that was bad
I don't know we might be walking I think
that's a dip in the ground there
maybe I'm on the wrong side yeah I was
actually it's not a lot of the holes
bigger than I thought on this side
I know what's going on and we're in a
really good spot we're halfway up a
mountain here yeah slight cliff on this
side yeah yeah I'll just show you this
tower so this is the second tire on the
second day that one we actually got no
traction we'll just let the front wheels
down a little bit about climbing on the
bonnet does it get bit more traction
what do you reckon now okay that sounds
like a great so I'm gonna straddle the
bonnet so we let the the air pressure
down in the front tires and we've made
it to a reasonably flat bit we're still
about a kilometer from the shed tiny bit
more there but yeah what a mess yeah
that tire lasted about 30 meters where
is the tire yesterday we we probably
drove about two and a half kilometres on
it and we could have driven further but
yeah this tire here has just totally
shred itself but luckily we got a spare
tonight
can you count the Flies in there
beautiful
usually is you when it's late like this
oh that feel like cooking your breakfast
oh thank you I've got an idea for
cooking the fish so I mean I was gonna
do it two ways but I think we'll just do
it one way
so I've gutted this fish it's so nice
and clean in there now is on the camera
wrist holding the light it's all pretty
rustic here at the moment so I'm gonna
fill up the fish we're going to make
little fish fingers I'm going to coat
them with a special ingredient later on
and we're not going to do it two ways
Noah's gonna cook the fish frame on the fire
so we don't waste anything
so yeah I'll just I'm just gonna fill up
this fish that is looking like a very
tasty fish and it actually smelled good
when I cut it open so I think we're in
for a treat
these freshwater Murray Cod I'd tend to have a
nice amount of fat in them as well but
it'll be sorrel and and some cabbage and
it'll have some seeds and then just a
nice simple dressing look at this new
whoppers this this recipe is really
simple I've never done it before I've
done similar things I usually get fish
and I crumb them with chips but this
time we've got fried onion how's that
sound no that sounds fantastic sweet and
crunchy yeah so the onions are actually
pre fried come from an Asian grocer and
we're just taking that chunks of fish
off the skin and just coating the fish
in those onion
this looks Noah diet friendly thank you
for accommodating my eating disorder and
not going just for a standard flour the
batter that's about a kilo and a half
maybe two kilos of freshly crumbed fish
let's go and cook that up it actually
looks pretty good right now but it's
going to be tastier in a second all
right this is Noah Noah cooking the fish
frame we're gonna just put the whole
fish frame over the fire and makes you
nicely
yeah donate to go a bit longer
Hey look good they look getting a good
good video yeah thank you guys when you
eat this I want your honest opinion
honest opinion the last time we ate was
now do you want an honest opinion now
other things today I just talk it up but
I think this is going to be very yummy
like delicious I've decided that you
make people work for eight hours any
kind of back to the crate let me put
some little fish in it we'll try this
great insurance um I think he can't even
buy young Eagle described it all you
describe the fish the the onion this or
what it whatever you can taste you you
don't have words for fish there's this
dog does it taste good let's see how I
can describe it any better than you can
I don't know yeah let's say that good at
it there's more golden bit than you
