Try your best to ignore the haters mate, at the end of the day it's your channel to do whatever the heck you want. The vast majority of us will enjoy your videos no matter what you do, so if you suddenly decide to pivot into wilderness alternative dance we'd probably still watch.

[@general8284]

Really love your videos man. No one else is doing this sort of thing in Australia. You should be getting way more views.

[@tomlorenzen4062]

What about Chris Bamman??

[@nickchapman1330]

Both brilliant watching

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks a lot mate! Glad you enjoy them.

[@captrockh2055]

Field Days 👍

[@kingpartridge3373]

Silly swagman is a top lad

[@BillSaltbush]

When indulging in food such as that, when out in the sticks, I nearly always turn to an expression my old Scottish uncle used to use back in the 1960's . . . "Wouldn't call the king my uncle." When we live like this, we are as rich as the richest.

[@mickwatson2177]

When you are changing lures often, a product from Mustad called Fastach Clip is the way to go. A size 3 will give a 75lb breaking strain. They are not swivels, everyone around here uses them on the cod. Keep up the good work. 👍🤠

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Great tip mate. Thanks

[@Castathon]

Nooooo don’t trust clips. Ever. Just my opinion

[@mkwa8870]

Clips suck ass I wouldn’t trust them with a soft plastic let alone a $25 hard body

[@samuelgez]

Been watching Scotty since he had under 500 subscribers and now seeing that he’s about to crack the 100k mark is incredible, we’ll deserved mate love your stuff! ❤️

[@Mitch624]

Scotty, mate your videos are just getting better and better! The start of this one was all time, the best one yet! Keep up the awesome work mate, your a legend and I love your content 👌🏼🤙🏼

[@Kenlctd105]

Yep best vid ever

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks heaps for the kind words mate. Really appreciate it.

[@Mitch624]

No worries mate! Keep doing what your doing, its top shelf mate 👍🏼

[@90shippo]

Warrabah national Park was beautiful this Easter. Congrats on the catch. We got nothing but nibbles

[@svo21]

Fast becoming my favourite channel on KZbin, love your content mate! You've inspired me to get my boys out and see this magnificent country of ours.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate, that's awesome to hear.

[@susanalbone5101]

I can see why you love the area, it’s absolutely stunning and yes, reminiscent of mountains in the US. So pleased you eventually caught a Murray cod, well done. Thanks for your time and sharing your adventure with us. Take care, be safe. ❤️ Dorset, UK

[@Lizzie47]

I could watch you cook and fish all dayyyy

[@madmansgullyaviator]

Nothing like sitting back with my favourite bevvy and watching the latest SGWA video - and this video was fantastic. The wife and I have been followers for a long time. Congrats on catching your first Cod. It took me a long time before I caught my first, but there have been many since. I think the fisheries guys are to be commended for the return in numbers of these iconic native species after the population crashes of the '80s. Next one to cross off is the elusive Trout Cod 😉 A bit harder to track down but also coming back in numbers. Keep up the great work. We need our regular SGWA fix!

[@ewengillies9826]

Fishing is hit n miss for most people Scotty so don't get discouraged just keep at it. Your casting is very much spot on and your fires sre something else mate. Awesome country you bring us to so keep this stunning photography going. ATVB. Bushyboy Oz.

[@blockchain_proponentm.9977]

Cannot deny that everything about what you do in these vids leaves me as jealous af! Don't have any kids until you are well and truly done with these adventures!

[@stephenlodge3864]

Scotty, this area hasn't fish as well as it use to since the drought a couple of years back. Cod are generally a ambush fish that like structure and in this gorge system its the rocky undercuts.

[@aussiesawake1037]

We are so glad that you 'make the effort' to travel to these beautiful places, We get to enjoy them too. Thank you.

[@birdsofaustraliabyernieram9448]

Hi Scotty, I follow your videos and I'm impressed with all of your adventures, quality of videos and their content. Thank you for showing the world how blessed we are here downunder. Can you please try to describe the sound you've heard at around 3 am, I am really intrigued. Keep up the good work, best regards Ernie

[@madmansgullyaviator]

I wonder if it wasn't a species of owl - they are extremely quiet (it's a key characteristic of their hunting strategy) so Scotty wouldn't have heard it fly in or away. Just speculating....

[@nickk3839]

@@madmansgullyaviator yep, exactly my thoughts

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

To be honest, it sounded like something farted or took a s#*t haha But really loud.

[@madmansgullyaviator]

@@ScottysGoneWalkabout 🤭

[@ernsthorn2788]

Sounds in the night. Yeah, sometimes they can be disconcerting. I woke one night in Alaska to something that sounded like a cow pissing on a rock behind my tent. Turned out to be a sow brown bear! It was pitch black but somehow the 357 turned up in my hand. Fortunately, she went on about her business and wandered on downstream. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep that night!

[@waywardsoul5305]

HI Scotty, thank you for another great video! You've helped inspire me to explore some crown land camping here in naturally beautiful Canada. Thanks for sharing!

[@PreludeSon]

Some people dreams of being famous and have a lot of wealth but this.....this is the real dream.

[@christhompson5189]

Gday Scotty. Love the video. Don’t worry about your rod - just take it to a tackle shop and get them to put a tip ferrul on your rod. It will work fine. A good tackle shop will teach you how to do it yourself. I’ve shortened a few rods bush bashing. They still work fine. Hope this helps

[@papajeff5486]

There’s fishing and then there’s catching. You look like a fisherman. Good luck. Thanks for sharing.

[@nathanmannix5746]

You’re a legend Scotty thank you mate. Keep up the absolutely awesome channel!! Love it

[@KavalanSol]

Love your videos man! And defo the fishing ones too even though I'm not a fisherman myself. You've inspired me to buy my own gear and go out camping myself. Ive even got the same vanquest organizer als you and am loving it. Keep up the good work legend! 💪

[@normmcleanmclean5632]

Another top show mate it’s called fishing not catching. You done well A. Fish to be proud of. Awesome

[@ThePhaser121]

That would have to be the Warabah national park. Love it so much, I live in Manilla. Could of shown you some special holes. Think you may of stopped at the park I run 👌 Great stuff mate, love your videos

[@Andyb2379]

Mate your videos are going from strength to strength. Beautiful filming, locations I can only dream of. Well done on the cod mate another epic adventure. Again thank you for bring me on your adventures. Cheers Andy

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks a lot mate.

[@danboyce9688]

If you ever want to fish this place again. I can show you the ropes. Our last 2 night trip there produced over 30 cod. Biggest around 90 cm. Lived here my whole life.

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

Great content as always mate. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. Beautiful part of Australia mate . Well done Love it. ❤️🍺🇦🇺👍

[@benmanzie7241]

Awesome video mate! Some tips for cod fishing is to let your spinnerbaits sink a bit more because a lot of the time cod tend to take lures on the drop. Another tip is to use surface lures mainly dawn or dusk when the cod will feel safer breaking the surface. 🤙🏼🍻🌅

[@markg2137]

Funny that you mentioned you heard a strange sound. While watching , before you got to that part I was thinking it would be interesting to ask what is the weirdest unexplainable thing you've heard or seen while in the bush - given you spend a lot of time exploring different areas I was sure you'd have some interesting stories

[@michaelplatt7608]

Hi mate if you watch his qna video he made he answers that very question 🤙

[@beereal5107]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing !

[@artemis261]

So AMAZING. A feast for my eyes. Thankyou!

[@BonesyTucson]

Just beautiful land, amazing.

[@soylentg6270]

I snapped my favorite mini ultralight a couple times that I've had for about 15 years now, each time I just put a new cap ring lead on. Still use it. It's even better for backpacking now than it was new lol.

[@waynemcmillan5970]

Scotty this bush adventure was magic. Thank you.

[@BCBoatsAndCanoes]

Great one , thanks Scotty

[@InlandFishing]

Excellent! Great spot

[@DottieStanley]

Beautiful country! I am from Central Texas and we have lot's of granite and cedar trees that look very similar to the area you are hiking in on this video. We have lot's of rivers too! Love your walk abouts! Thanks for posting for us all to enjoy!

[@SatriaChannel_08]

Amazing..... the great natural scenary...

[@holmenadventurecamp]

Great as always, lots of love!

[@hanksbud2544]

Excellent video as usual. I look forward to you new videos. Thank you for taking us along.

[@riveRecon]

What an adventure Scotty! Really loved kicked back and watching with a healthy dose of inspiration! Thank you 😊

[@saintratty7855]

Love your videos. We live in such a beautiful country

[@brianbuzzen]

Thanks for this. The waterfalls were amazing. Congratulations on the cod !

[@DestinationOffroad]

Loved this one, the location is mint. Love the still captures.

[@PEZMONSTER1]

Yes, yes, yes. Fantastic work Scotty. Keep it up mate. ❤️

[@bossldn]

What a beautiful place - an amazing life you live

[@richardeljay]

Good effort. Beautiful scenery.

[@JamesSmith-fl2ky]

Great thing to watch on a cold rainy day here in N Wisconsin. Thanks.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Epic little spot Scotty. Great video and stoked you finally got some sun up north there.

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome Scotty, great video. The weather looked awesome and a nice little cod there as well 👍👍🤠

[@benpaynter8348]

Thank you very much mate awesome work! Makes me want to get out and about more then what I do!

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

A Yowie, Scotty...you were visited by a Yowie in the night.

[@hunterhoodcamp3418]

Bro, I’ve been in iso this past week and got hooked on your videos. This notification got me so pumped. Keen as to watch this!

[@H3ath]

Great video, great fish. Thanks.

[@flash2mc]

Beautiful shots round the fire with the moon. That Murray Cod sure was special! Congrats

[@MrYoko1969]

Another great video Scotty, keep up the great work.

[@waileemo6682]

Beautiful video thanks for sharing

[@banko1813]

That's exactly right mate, fishing is far more than catching fish, it's the place's it takes you, if you let it. You've fathomed this out early on in your fishing carrier, well done 😉

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Great job Scott - love this one!! 👍👍

[@EB240]

Scotty! what an adventure, my fav by far! keep it up, love the videos

[@alistairbalsom367]

Great episode Scott well Done

Another epic adventure my friend! The food looked amazing, persistence payed off. Very nice 🤠

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Great trip Mate! Thanks for bringing us along! Congrats on the fish. I got to go fly fishing last week for the first time and had a blast. I didn't catch anything, but had fun just the same. HooRoo!

[@JamesSmith-fl2ky]

You're a true gourmet. Not many guys would pack a meal like that into the bush. Well done.

[@cas1928]

We live in such a beautiful country. I love our national parks especially the Watagans that are in my backyard. Just on the noise you heard it may have been a yowie 😉 Once again an awesome video! Thank you

[@JasonMcCann841]

Keep the adventure going. Nice fish.

8 hours and carp. Grrr. Always love your relaxed chats and honesty in adding the trials. Thanks for taking this senior Q,lander on what was a surprise turtle find out NSW bush. Beautiful stills! A Cod at last, what a joy for that 8 hours! Good on you!

[@sharongreaves759]

Great adventure Scotty, in a beautiful spot. Loved the full moon shots and glad you caught your fish 👍

[@XandVenturas]

One of the only channels I have notifications turned on for.

[@nathanaelgrace792]

I love the fishing videos mate. Murray cod can be a difficult fish to catch, but if you keep making casts you will end up catching them, as you proved in this vid. they are always worth the effort because they are one of the most beautiful fish on the planet. They like hanging behind big logs and boulders that are stopping the main flow of the river and ambushing food as it comes past. Keep up the good content mate, lovin it.

[@davidmunro3307]

Hi Scotty. Nice video and as many others have commented your videos just keep getting better. Tip for preventing breakage of those delicate thin brittle rods - when you are moving through underbrush turn your rod around and hold the rod by the rear grip so the tip is trailing behind you. Only thing that may catch is the odd runner but you wont be breaking any more rod tips.

[@Maightybewsh]

Don't give up on the cod fishing Scotty. Those were some tough conditions to catch a cod in and you still jagged one. Catching cod on surface is my all time favourite and definitely worth the hours and kilometres through the granite belt to get em. The noise you heard was probably a young goat, they are everywhere through there and make some of the weirdest noises i've ever heard.

[@jdmaengz9655]

Love the work scotty. Great catch, beautiful fish. you never mentioned where you were!

[@paullawrence8572]

Another brilliant vid Scott! Great viewing Mate!👌👍

[@swingsloth]

Great vid, bro. Loving the diversity of your content. Keep up the great work.

[@Cermagine]

Love it mate, it's on my bucket list to do something like this. Was the other way around for me in getting out and about, wanted to chase more aussie natives so now I'm travelling 5-6+ hours to land barra and cod.

[@paulmann539]

Oh Woow!!! That sandwich looked so Great! Love your videos, thanks. From your fan in Canada.

[@alexbird4013]

You make great videos man. You really capture the beauty of the land, keep it up. Your channel is the only one I’ve ever subscribed to, and I’m 34 years old, you’ve got something good going here, brother!

[@DaveWheeler]

Another great video mate. Re broken rod, best to walk with the rod but pointing forward, which reduces the chance of breaking the tip off, esp if you trip!

[@thegingerpowerranger]

Fantastic video. Love your channel.

[@krbushcraftaustralia5976]

Awesomeness as always Scotty. Keep em coming 💯🤘🍺❤️

[@Cauca888]

Cảnh thiên nhiên thật tuyệt vời bình yên, tôi được trải nhiệm chuyến đi thú vị trong video của bạn, chúc bạn nhiều sức khỏe!

[@auozjan]

Scott the noise you heard was either the Easter bunny or a drop bear 😅
