- Join us on an epic 10 day adventure as we explore the Whitsunday Islands while living on board my 7mtr Riptide plate alloy boat. Basing ourselves at the Hamilton Island marina when the wind was blowing, we visited places such as Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, Manta Ray bay, Macona Inlet, Nara Inlet, Great Barrier Reef, Cid Harbour, Maher Island and the Lindeman group of Islands. Epic location with beautiful island scenery, coral reefs, beaches and even better fishing. We caught Coral Trout, Red Throat Emperor, Venus and Black Spot Tuskfish. Enjoy.
Looked like a great trip
Great video and the unfortunate part of owning big boats is trailer repairs but at least you were organised. Look forward to more content
Thanks for a great show. A really down-to-earth product you produce Greg a bit of everything in this one can't wait for the next one. Tight line thanks THOMMO.
Great vid Greg, did a similar trip a few years ago only difference is we steamed down from Townsville in glamour conditions. Brought back some good memories.
Lauren is a legend, some cracking trout. Another epic, thanks so much.
Awesome mate. About time you got outfished. Go Lauren.🤙
Brilliant video Greg. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Sensational trip, lucky you had Lauren to catch the stonker trout.....bit of bad luck with the spring breaking, but as you said..... character building....you just have to laugh sometimes and get on with it. Picked up a couple of ideas for Turkey Beach in August / September, thanks for the great video.👍💪👍💪👍💪
Thanks mate we had an absolute ball and will be back again this year. Yep life is all about character building lol. Cheers mate enjoy your turkey trip in Aug/Sept.
Awesome adventure guys. Thanks for sharing
Greg, loved the info in the commentary. Really useful for anyone planning a trip. Great to see I'm not the only one outfished by family. Love your work, mate.
Awesome video Greg, different to your other videos. Wicked boat mate 👌 good times for both of you.
What an incredible week, shame about the weather but looks like a stunning place to live out of a boat for a while
Your best video yet mate
Epic scenery
Places
What life's all about
It ain't always about fishing
But
Where fishing takes you👌
Greggy another awesome video what a trip and I love you got outfished by the bride 😂
Great video Greg as always, makes me almost wish I'd gone a cabin rather than a hardtop centre cab (not really, my boat is perfect for my needs), but definitely inspiring to maybe head up there but stay in the resort while mooring my boat!
Although I absolutely cannot believe, with all that stuff you had on board, that you didn't have a gimbal belt for your wife?!?!?! That's like rules 1 through 5 when fishing with the Mrs! Some stinger suits may have been worth packing too 😜
A good fisherman and can fix your own gear. You are a top bloke mate
Amazing trip, Great video Cheers to you both.
Awesome video and great fish!
Wish the politicians would drive up instead of flying to go see the coalmines in the area, maybe then something would get done about the roads, considering how much money comes out of the bowen basin. Should send the counsel the bill for the trailer mate 😂
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it. Mate I agree. Its unbelievable how bad they are particularly for a national highway. Hahaha don't worry I thought about it. Cheers
You need to get a pair of IRS axles they are stronger and sit lower that way you can launch in shallower water.
👍 What a great place to go and explore. Looks like you enjoy yourself great stuff.
totally enjoyable
Awesome Video guys demon the bucket list
Thanks for the tips
Excellent video Greg your wife and daughter know how to catch big fish
Great video mate, beautiful joint
Up there
I turned up just as the wind kicked in - the day you were packing up . In fact my boat was also on D arm - a Bar Crusher Centre console. Much to my surprise I saw myself walking along behind you at 25:25. The Whitsundays are fantastic, but strong winds really do limit options up there, that week there were no runs to the reef and sharky murky water around the islands. I headed up to Lucinda after a week of 30 - 40 km winds on Hamilton and found the good weather. I recommend that company you used for trailer storage, I've used them a couple of times now and they are very helpful.
We did a month on our 20 footer at the same time. Ran into you both on a walk around the boats on one of our night stop overs in the marina. Plenty of nice spots to get out of the wind around the islands as you've discovered. Only did 2 nights on separate occasions in the marina that was enough lol. For a 15 year old boat as you say it looks mint. Great vid I'm sure you'll be back as we certainly will.
Fantastic video very informative thanks
Awesome video mate
Legendary, mate. Amazing footage . Well done, guys .
Thanks mate much appreciated.
I would so love to take my girl on a trip like this. Unfortunately I cant get her to cross the Seaway with me. I am probably a bit long in the tooth. Awesome video Greg.
Thanks mate. Lauren gets seasick pretty easily but seasick tablets and reasonable weather she is ok. So glad we did it and you should try sweet talking her into it mate.
Hey Greg, another top video. Congrats. Do you bait the assist hooks on the jigs?
Geez your spoiled mate 😉🤣🤣. You can see how proud you were... fantastic content
haha thanks mate. Enjoyed the trip and loved sharing it with the wife. Can't wait to go back and do it again.
Awesome to watch, but we will start from Bribie Island near brisbane and cruise the coast, would love to set base near Hamilton for a year or so looks amazing ❤
Trip of a lifetime Greg?
I was thinking there is so much Country up that way to explore and enjoy, I thought you said you don't get out of the boat? well those stingers sort the unwary out real quick but a lesson learned.
I reckon a hell of alot of that type of fishing is more relevant than the really big mothership stuff to a lot of people even though both are the stuff dreams are made of.
Looks like the Mrs took it easy on you HAHAHAHAHA nice to have crew to clean all the fish.
Really awesome video you guys did and thanks so much for it as you have given a huge list of ideas onto the Bucket list.
Cheers Garry
Welcome to paradise
Hoping you love my backyard as I live at Seaforth just 1/2 hr from the inland’s enjoy
Mate what a place to live and I can see why so many people move there. Loved it
15 hours north of brisbane to airlie beach, farkin ell mate, did ya reverse down the highway 😂😂
Hey great video!. Just wondering if the power was free and there was no issues with you using that battery charger at hamo?
👍💯
Yea mate, our roads are stuffed up here haha. You think the bruce is bad you should see the inland highways. Qld government spends all the money on the south east.
Hey mate approximately how much boat fuel did you use on the trip? Just planning a similar trip and wondering what i will go through
Hey mate I think I used 450ltrs in the 10 days. That was heading out to the reef and back and lots of driving around. Good luck on you're trip, its well worth it.
Thought you killed a chinamen fish (racist) from the thumbnail. Those are some bloody big coral trout!
hahaha classic mate. Yeah some nice trout for the short time we fished.
