Me too - I do see them from time to time but they don't seem to last too long. I have caught a few hybrids though.

Thanks Peter, I certainly did better than I expected - yes, could well have been!

Sorry, this was a Doug-free trip 😎

😂😂😂 A cereal pest? What, like a weevil?

Mine too, just a pity I don't get there as often as I would like!

Yes, a very 'sharky' area with numerous sightings, although to be fair, we have never seen one from the boat in nearly 20 years. Doesn't mean they aren't there of course!

Yes, original GoPro audio (especially when in a housing) is pretty ordinary. I have tasked Doug with reminding me if I forget to plug in the external mic, which is just so easy to forget in the excitement of getting a line in the water. Given the Crows performance this season they need all the support they can get, Doug's been threatening to do that for a while. Maybe I should have just edited it out ..... That's not a bad idea about doing a video about the gear - I will put it to him and see if he's prepared to give away a few trade secrets 😎 He's such a shrinking violet he might just be too bashful 😂 or not.

I am shy Frank 😌

@@dougpetty6854 😄 Really? Don't force me to tell the story about you on the bus Doug ....

Shuuuuuuush🤫

Yes Glen, although the original Percival lives about 400km up river, so these two may have been cousins 😁

😁 OK, yes you did. Quiet about other thing that's coming up, it's supposed to be a secret ....

🥺

Thanks Larry, I have watched some of your content from Eden! Absolutely right - tough in winter in the fresh, but you (we) need to get out and have a go, fish are a bonus. If you have a look at the channel, you will find a lot of saltwater fishing content too.

@@captainfrank01 Cool, I'll go back and have a look. Thanks!

True 🙄The bit about the mist 'condensating' got me. The good thing about Doug is that he always has an explanation for everything! We certainly have a good 'larf' when we go fishing.

Thanks - yeah, he's certainly on something .....

BS tablets 😮

@@dougpetty6854 I found your stash 💊💊💊💊

😂😂😂

Wait till next week Andrew... 😳

@@dougpetty6854 Yeah, but you won't be able to say anything Doug, you promised to be silent ....

@@captainfrank01 Oh, teasers!

Why thank you Darren, that's very kind.

It is max at krusty

@@Darrenwalker-i3s Very tricky, about time you got on board!

Thanks Peter, totally agree, but better to be out than doing chores at home!

Roll on the warm weather Pete, must catch up soon😀

@@dougpetty6854 I was going to head up to Pet werf last week with Wizard but weather turned nasty. Yes must catch up soon, at least in the cold weather it's possible to target Redfin or hybrids, I had a short session at the Whores Shoe last week and finished up with 20 and no carp. 👍👍👍

Thanks Doug, FoV and FoD since it was the only one! The viewers need to know that you talk rubbish even when the camera ISN'T on ..... I don't need to set you up. I'll believe silence when I hear it - or DON'T hear it 😎

Thanks, it was a welcome surprise - I've fished that dam for hundreds of hours and never caught a redfin before!

@@captainfrank01 well a cold morning well worth it

Bread, corn and worms

Thanks Doug ...... and you're right about the company 😎

Hi Jay, you know what, I did consider exactly that but thought it would be a lttle cruel! Yes, great session for everyone!

We all like to have a big one ....😎

Reading a beach is really pretty simple (plenty of videos on YT to help you out). You are looking for the deeper blue water where fish will school up to feed - colour, lack of white water, where the waves don't break until close to the beach etc. Best spotted from a position of height like sand dunes behind the beach. Have a look at the drone footage from the start of the previous two videos and it will show up quite clearly.

Thanks Andrew, it certainly was, the third such in three days. Agree about bait v lures - I don't use lures as much as I probably should!

I was a little too excited 😂 haha caught a few on lures too, definitely more fun when there on the bite but when my arm needs a rest the baits go back on lol

@@aussieoutdoorprospecting Nice to meet you mate. Looked like a blast!

@@aussieoutdoorprospecting Yeah, tell me about the arms lol

Yes, I have caught them in NZ too! Great fun fish!

It certainly was that sort of trip Andrew, I had 3 consecutive days of good catches, this probably being the best. Unfortunately no 4-5kg fish, which was what I was hoping for, but the smaller ones were still a lot of fun and they all went back.

Don't listen to everything you've been told.

@@PRCRED Are they any good?

@@glenbaker4024 they're fantastic when they're fresh. Need to bleed them right away and get them on ice. Don't freeze them, they don't freeze well.

@@PRCRED Cheers. I’ll definitely try it next time I catch one.

Excellent beer batter fried.

Thanks - yes, one of those red letter days we all dream about! There are numerous camping sites at Sheringa, run by Elliston Council at $20 per night, so I was told. Don't think there is any free bush camping anymore like in the '70's. I based myself at Elliston Caravan Park, just for the comfort for the old bloke I went with .....

YW. I settled for the Bex, went back and had a coffee and a good lie down! There was another day to go - my arms were soooo sore afterwards!

@@captainfrank01 I bet. I've found a campground that I think that you would love. Only 2 sites, not expensive, right on the water, drop toilet etc. Let me know if you're interested.

@@oldbloke204 OK I'm interested . If you mean at Sheringa, I did check them all out on the way through.

@@captainfrank01 Nah this one is on the Glenelg River in Vic. It's called Battersby Campground. We stayed in the area a few years back and it's very nice. Portland and other beach fishing around there as well.

Great session! Yeah, I hate a crowd 😂

Thank you, more to come!

Thanks Peter! I had 3 days over there, caught each day and a session of a few hours was more than enough. I'm glad they weren't 4kg models! Next day was even better!

There is no way of getting to Katarapko Island other than by boat as far as I know, except possibly walking across the stone weir at the northern end when the water is low, but that is miles from Loxton. Email is captainfrank01@outlook.com

@@captainfrank01 Thanks - i have emailed you this morning,

@@stringbean1010 Replied

😂Well that wouldn't have been hard to top now, would it! No glass of red but the arms got prgressively sorer as the days went on - as you will see.

Hahaha. Thanks, exactly. Actually, I have bled and skinned them in the past and they were OK but only fesh and only small ones. If you thought that was a good session, wait for the next video!

@@captainfrank01 I shall do just that. Cheers.

Thanks, I always release salmon and in fact probably let go 95% of all the fish I catch. You're right, I saw a lot of salmon kept.

😂😂😂 More like 60 ....

Champagne work from Doug. Catches the big fish, tells the great stories, brings the entertainment!! Have you two thought of canoe / kayak fishing ?

@@stringbean1010 Yep, I never catch any good fish and just feel totally inadequate. Think I'll just be the cameraman 😔

@@captainfrank01 Like the old saying, "Those that cant do - teach; those that cant teach - teach PE, those that cant manage PE - do outdoor Ed!"

@@stringbean1010 Hmm I may have heard that a few times 🙄 I have news for you, trained in PE (4 year degree with an OE specialization), taught PE and OE for 20 years to Yr 12 level and THEN went OE full time for the next 20+ years. I think I have the runs on the board 😁

Well done. Cert 3 Outdoor Recreation

Really? That has a hint of Brokeback Mountain I reckon - I may have heard that comment before ......😉

@@captainfrank01 Doug is good value I reckon

@@stringbean1010 Yeah, I have to agree, we get on pretty well and our trips are always a 'larf'. Just don't tell him that.

Welcome aboard. Frank is a great bloke and makes some top notch content. Pleased you found him. I cannot help out with any spots in Adelaide area, sorry, but I do hope you find a few. I am in Canberra and carp and reddies are my go to fishing. Carp fillets also make awesome baits for the salt water, which you are close to also. Good luck, may you catch a whale!

@@AndrewFishman Thank you! Can you eat carp?

@@SouthAustralianAdventures YOu can, and many people do. It is the most widely farmed fish in the world. The Romans introduced it to ancient Britain as a food fish. However, you do need to treat it right, bleed it and stuff. I am not an expert as I do not eat any fish at all. However, I know people who really enjoy it. Malu Hunter was telling me a couple of trips ago that he had carp for dinner a few nights before prepped by a friend of his, and he said it was delicious. I will find out more if you want.

@@AndrewFishman I might try to cook one then! I will get my mum to do it though because she is from a country that eats carp!(Czech)

You sound as though you may be a Pom Andrew? If so where from...

👍

Haha Andrew, wink wink. Glad you enjoyed the KI vids!

Crow eaters have no dignity. Good to see you, Doug. Love the new name for the pint sized reddies. Forever after, I shall know them as "ROBBIES". How big do ya reckon they have to get before they become "fish"?

😲😲😲Please, nooooo

It totes was 😜

Yep, what a story indeed.
