Hunt and Gather - Free Range Sailing Ep 92

[@robertgephart7190]

I have enjoyed watching you for a few years now - you really are the real thing. Thanks for sharing your life with us, and showing us your beautiful country.

[@bigiron664]

Wow!! Amazing!!...You Guys make livin off the sea an land look easy!!....And the double lens lick....!!!!!PRICELESS!!!!!....You guys make me wanna go get a sailboat .....what a great and inspiring couple You are!!!...Thumbs up!!....BIG THUMBS UP!!!!!!!

[@youremostwelcome]

Well that drone footage was nothing short of mesmerising.

[@richardscudds4753]

Troy , that drone footage of those rays and the couple of shovel nose was great to see , well done

[@mikerichards8016]

Yes, do you use the drone for fish spotting

[@seachefjerry6722]

You guys are the coolest of the sailing vlogs! I really enjoy Troy's dry sense of humor. You both are also very informative as well. Good on ya! Keep it up!

[@C_R_O_M________]

I just got an epiphany! The soft voice of Troy and how he ends his phrases reminds me of Chester Good (Dennis Weaver) from Gunsmoke! You guys are great! Thanks for your efforts...

[@jon5049]

Nice music choice for the sailing, Pascale. It synced up nicely with the rhythm of the waves and splashes at the bow.

[@daveybru]

I’m always amazed by the tuneage match to the scene, where do they get the tunes from as well?

[@rdwise4513]

Noticed that as well. Nicely done!

[@stratman50th]

Pascal licks the lens. You all have won the internet for the day! Congratulations......

[@ahazureus]

Haaa!!! Haaa!!! Haaa!!! Haaa!!! Haaa!!! Miss. Pascale licking the camera lens clean, is just precious, Pascale and Troy, y'all are the absolute most fun to watch, you cruising tips hunter-gathering and comical antics, not to mention Troy and Miss. Pascale cooking, is just the best ever! I've learned so much about cooking out from y'all it ain't even funny, God Bless you both, it's such a pleasure to watch you two, keep safe and keep "Free Range Sailing"!!!

[@1011-s7d]

Yabbie's are used for bait along the west coast of North America, they call them Sand Shrimp. Great for surf fishing for perch. Fun way to fish and great exercise. Timing the waves you run out as far as you can, throw your line and sprint back before the wave sends you tumbling.

[@doughambone6029]

Real Aussies doing real things....Amazing to see Troys skill sets working so well for him. I doubt the current generation could do what you do.

[@pjreynoldsa1]

I try to watch the other sailing channels too...hardly anyone goes sailing, all they do are repairs & upgrades. You two do it all and kick ass in the process, thanks for doing it right.

[@robertevans6481]

Loved the overhead drone shots of the stingrays...👍

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Up at 6, drinking my morning tea, and get a lens wash! It's going to be a Good Day!

[@DistinctOgre]

Troy says everything is delicious. He's a smart man.

[@outdoortherapy6596]

[@charlesharper2357]

I worked on a Coral Trout boat out of Gladstone in 2002 while I was waiting for my Residential Status in Australia. The nearest reefs had been fished out, so we used to run for the nearly 20 hours out to the Swains...which are by far and away the most beautiful part of the Great Barrier Reef. So far from land the water was crystal clear...and the night sky was totally dark when the moon was down...you could actually see the Milky Way. We fished one man per skiff...our 50 foot mothership was an old trawler that was home to 8 skiffs ...and we went out to catch Coral Trout and keep them alive for the live trade in Hong Kong. Our mothership had a large live tank, and we used to bring our Coral Trout in live...we had tanks on our 16 foot skiffs with the water changed continually to keep them alive. At the end of the day we would bring our catch in...live Coral Trout would go into the tank and dead Trout and by-catch would go into the blast freezer. It was an utterly unbelievable experience...I never made much money at it...but the scenery was utterly spectacular...and you could imagine what the world looked like before civilization occurred. The main reason you should go there is that it's so unlike the rest of the Barrier Reef...it's utterly pristine, clear, mud free...just beautiful coral sand...the last reefs before the deep sea. Once you cross the surf line the reefs drop off to nothingness...it's like a wall. I really hope you go out there...it would be an amazing experience for you and your viewers. BTW...I loved Gladstone...it may be industrial but it's the most Northern cyclone proof port in Oz...and it has great people and everything a Cruiser needs.

[@hanknaclek9747]

I agree with your comment about the Swains, I did a 10 day trip with Bill Hadfield from Bundaburg on Kathrine Ann a 38ft trawler type with 4 dorys. Fantastic fishing. Bill recently became the oldest person to circumnavigate sailing non-stop at the age of 80yrs.37 days. And he went the hard way against the prevailing winds. One tough sailor!!

[@charlesharper2357]

@@hanknaclek9747 I was depressed when I watched the episode where Troy and Pascale finally made it out there...the reefs had been devastated by crown of thorns starfish. Hope the reefs recover...they were so damn gorgeous.

[@markgoode4109]

Always a pleasure to see your latest adventure. The fish looked very tasty. Yum. Looking forward to the next installment. Best wishes

[@dicktraveller_uk87]

Hi Guys, love your videos, well put together and full of useful information. Thanks for making it possible to help you as I am now the proud owner of a Free Range Sailing t shirt and hoody. Stay safe and regards to you both from the UK.

[@saboyaner]

Started from the begining watching all the videos. Incredible to See how far the editing skills from Pascale (and Troy) are getting better and better. Amazing production value. keep up the good work :)

[@phillipobrien7365]

Hi Troy and Pascale, nothing like wading an estaury with a bait pump and bucket. Good for Yabbies, Sandworm and Jap clams. Almost as much fun as the fishing. Good score on the bait pump, it will come in handy all the way down the coast, we get yabbies in Victoria, and the whiting to go with them, Flathead and Bream love them as well.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We need to get a bit of local knowledge on the sandworms. I'm sure we'll meet some kind accommodating soul as we go.

[@bluejeans725]

Never get tired of watching Pelicans coming in or taking off with webbed feet assistance.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Like heavy bombers

[@paulbennett7743]

Excellent music mix in with the stingray overhead footage - Australian art.

[@bepowerification]

I just love how Pascale says things like "computer", "water" and especially "pepper". Australia FTW.

[@shanekonarson]

She does alright that little boat . Very unrated. Reminds me of my first boat a 26 ft folkboat .,except a bit bigger. I caught some stingray years ago and didn’t really know how to fillet them or cook them , wouldn’t say I enjoyed it . However I ate it not to waste. But if actually have another go at it after watching your methods. Thanks Troy and Pascal

[@Xorply]

Loved hearing Amarante again in your soundtrack. My favourite that I've discovered through you guys.

[@alanmcconachie]

Loved the boat crashing the waves in time to the music. Those are the touches that make you think this is TV not You Tube.

[@philgawthrop2518]

Thanks for the vinegar tip Troy! Great video!

[@joebrown1382]

I like the lens cleaner ha. What a cracking good video, a bit of everything. For me I love the sailing part it's something I'll never experience but I feel I'm on the boat. Love the high shot with the drone very cool & the drone with all the rays. Pascale you're looking so beautiful in the shallows, sorry had to mention that.

[@snakeeyes4424]

Nice adventure guys keep them coming

[@jwarnes71]

Omg. A pascal double lick. Now Delos just cant match that can they!

[@OcRefrig]

ive seen most all Delos vids from Day 1. Don't think ive ever seen a single Lens Lick 👅 Let Alone a Double Lick. 👅 & 👅. 🤣 That Was an Omg 😲 🤣moment for sure.

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

I was glad I didn't have a booger hanging out!!!

[@Verdigris.]

I thought this was a comment on the music chosen for the video, which is also very good.

[@russellneville7145]

Hay guys love what you's do, keep up the good work. Russ, bay of islands New Zealand

[@harvey604journeyman8]

Enjoy all your videos guys, but particularly this one, at 5:57 Pascal gave us all a nice big wet kiss, haven't had that much action in little while thanks again Pascal.

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Nice tongue action :)

[@kylehallacappellaman3435]

Love the drone video of the rays!

[@Verdigris.]

Pascal has now released her free provisioning/cook book. I think if you released a crusting around Australia book, with a guide of where to stop, what to avoid, helpful marinas etc, free or otherwise, I think you'd have a lot of interest.

[@doughunt5175]

We have yabbies in Mississippi, yabby pumps too, we catch a related fish with them also, southern kingfish, but we call them ground mullet.

[@jasongrinnell1986]

Thanks again y’all for another fantastic video. Troy you are full of knowledge, love the lessons. Pascal, fabulous editing you are doing. Cheers!

[@lesabre1972]

now as long as the stingray taste is worth all that work you got one hell of a meal there

[@steviebee1989]

I loved this episode Pascale and Troy. What stunning drone footage of all those rays, shovel nosed rays, sharks and other fish. I’m surprised you didn’t catch a flattie with those yabbies. Keep up the fab work.

[@atiamuri101]

another great episode.marvelous drone footage of the rays and really good music

[@slowerpicker]

Peaceful, unaffected, gorgeous. Fair sailing!

[@mattdabney4109]

Best video yet.

[@osilva2367]

Pascale and Troy! Love the video footage and excellent editing job!! I love the handmade spear I remember the video when you made it. I used to spear fish in Hawai'i as a kid and it was loads of fun. Beautiful Yachties! Happy safe sailing😊

[@donmelvin7102]

The drone footage of all those rays was amazing. I counted 14 that I could positively identify. We have rays (and their cousins, Skates) here in Southern New Jersey (USA), but no one who hooks one keeps it, as most are hoping for striped bass. Now I want to try eating one myself! Here's to calm seas and full bellies. :)

[@TheXvonatik]

Love you guys I'm watching you for a long because of your positive imprint of knowledge and entertainment I hope one day we sail together.

[@davebrown7321]

I just love watching you guys fishing...(you make it seem more like catching than fishing)lol

[@goralki]

Yesssss awesome sailing footage, more please

[@Captainbazz2]

Hey Troy I find if you take the wing off each side then cut it into 100mm wide fillets you can then easily take it off either side , starting from thick end and leave it attached at the tip flip it and skin it in one go 🤙🤙not the easiest one to process but worth it 👍

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Sounds good. A little like our way of dealing with the skin on mackerel and tuna.We want to try using the cartilage as well. Crunchy!

[@maxmillion4216]

Awesome looking video guys, that new computer you got Pascale makes a world of difference in the quality of the video. Watched it on my Retina 5K 27" iMac. 😀 Pascale, you are so funny, thanks for the tongue bath. And Troy, you always have great tips. Thank you guys for all your great videos, LOVE ........them all.😀

[@johnperry7534]

Great fishing guys You’re the guns !

[@gaflaview6476]

Another great video. Just received my Free Range Sailing tee shirt. Thanks.

[@polse23]

Love pancake creek.

[@polse23]

Amazing drone shots!!

[@bitweb8279]

You could not done a better job of timing the music with the waves excellent

[@m3rkgaming683]

Hi to the most beautiful people on KZbin.You always bring such beautiful content to us all each and everytime.Thank you both..We love you much ❤️ God Bless

[@outdoortherapy6596]

Definitely going whiting fishing now.

[@mickmccrohon]

Another great vid guys. I'm anchored off Scarness beach at the moment but Pancake creek looks like a must visit. So many Rays... Yabbies are great bait but they don't last long on the hook. I was talking with a Kingfisher Bay local the other day and he reckons if you put your yabbies in a container full of metho then put it in the freezer overnight the yabbies firm up and last longer on the hook and the fish don't notice the metho because it's so volatile it evaporates away quickly. Bow and arrow would be great for rays. Love your vids.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thats the second time ive heard of metho yabbies Mick. I think it may be a bit of old timey wisdom

[@cigarmann]

Off the coast of New Jersey rays have saved many a fishing trip. I cut the meat into strips, add a bit of Bisquick, deep fry the strips and slather them in Franks hot sauce, similar to hot wings, kids and i cant eat enough! Wanted to add, i use pliers to remove the skin.

[@sawingate]

Loved the aerial footage of the stingrays! Would have liked to see how Pascale was going to prepare the fillets. New word and creature of the day...yabbies! I never fail to learn something new from you guys. And, of course, Pascale gives good lense! Be safe.

[@tooldiebum]

Looks like an awesome place

[@lesabre1972]

Those yabie look good enough to season and crisp up to use as a fill or a snack if you catch enough of them

[@petermathewvanaardt74]

i love stingray//skate s we call it. Tasty, soft and even with skin on and on the grill its delicious. Good video. Great for fish stock to

[@whisper7373]

Bloody beautiful

[@malcolmmcleod9784]

Yippee got my T shirt thanks for the great uploads cheers Free Range Sailing

[@Mytyweav]

Yer Killin' me!! I'd like some of those Whities this morning with my eggs!!! Love it!

[@dondevine5129]

nice video thanks

[@brendanbarker2095]

Thanks

[@OMGWERDOOMED]

Getting the yabis reminded me of the first video I saw of chimps using sticks to get termites. Troy has a better stick.

[@georgelewis8904]

Thanks ,how I grew up in that area long ago ,neaver tried rays wood like to sometime .The drone footage is great, have fun

[@philbox4566]

I love that area around Bustard Head. Pancake creek and Jenny Lind Creek is an amazing place.

[@sailingpopao]

Interesting stuff guys, looking forward to watching the stingray cook up. We need to pull our finger out an catch up to you, looks like we’d have a lot of fun together!

[@tbonemc2118]

It's no wonder Gladstone is nick named "happy rock" as we all got a good licking from Pascale there. Bloodworms are the best bait for Whiting but then everything in the sea will bite on Yabbies. Taught my kids how to fish catching Whiting. They caught themselves which was just as well with the attention span of young kids. The best fun was to catch the fish and then feed the resident Pelican who was always on station. That was until one of them was a bit slow throwing the fish and watched their arm disappear into the Pelican's bill along with the fish. Happy days.

[@robertmecalis7189]

What can I say brilliant.

[@cncbuss1]

Wonderful!

[@bobbyrogers5052]

Really enjoy the demonstration of stingrays. We'll give it a go in Texas!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

I think bow-fishers really get into them over there. It seems punching out scallops from the wings is very popular. I bet a 2 inch pipe with a ground edge would be perfect.

[@user-earthandfire]

Another super informative video. you guys are so inspiring... THANKS

[@jimwarmington3933]

Nice work... thankyou.

[@henrykoester6770]

cool thanks

[@AltheaMark]

Hey Troy, I find pumping for Nippers (yeah, I’m a southerner living in the north) is better to have a little water over the flats. Great video again guys!

[@OcRefrig]

Good vid ! i've seen probably a few hundred video's on youtube but, i think That was a First! Lens cleaning By Tongue 👅. Twice. 🤣 Omg. i Was amazed it Was not smudged or anything. it actually worked quite well. ill have to remember that one when diving. i Was Stunned 😳 , 🤣 & amazed all at the same time. Pascal you are some kinda Crazy fun girl. 🤣 Omg. Too funny ! i Love the look on your face after you did it. 🤣. Have fun you guys. as allways great Vid. and thanks for mentioning the davinci software. ive been looking for a video editing software. im going to check it out. thanks again.

[@wanderingsteve849]

Just discovered your channel! Great job on the Video i really enjoyed it, keep em coming and fair winds!

[@russellesimonetta3835]

Watching your vids is interesting. Advantages and disadvantages of a little boat . Seems more versatile as a coastal cruiser. Is it good for long cruising?? I like sting ray. In japan we eat dried sting ray. It,s tasty grilled and a little lemon and beer..

[@bandulasri]

Wow..lots of stings rays mates `

[@wildtimbrown]

LOVE the pelicans! We have Brown Pelicans mostly here in my part of Florida but the larger White Pelicans can be found not too far away. I love how Browns hunt by diving like a giant Kingfisher while the Whites work from the surface and herd the bait-fish as a team. I'm guessing that is the technique used by your sort? Fish on!

[@jbburton5928]

Omg ya can give David Attenborough a run for his money with ya photos encore ya fish looks scrumptious just need sum chips and a pint Yahoo!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We're pretty deep in the shade of Sir David!

[@Viper_Poker]

On the west Coast of the United States we call Yabi Sand Shrimp or Ghost Shrimp and we use them to catch perch, greenling, lingcod, Rockfish, Snapper Striped Bass and Salmon. They are a great Bait fish source we also use kelp worm and Sand Dab or Sand crab they kind of look like a mutated Potato Bug with a harder shell. Depending on the time of the year we really like them when thier in the molt. When thier shedding thier shell and when they are egging out because they produce these bright orange eggs and fish really like them. Ghost Shrimp are great because you can use them for bait all year long for just about any species of fish. You can keep them in your fridge and they will keep up to about 5 days. Just make sure that you keep them in a container with air holes in the lid and keep them in a bed of seaweed if possible because you don't want them drying out. Take some out on the reef with you fishing and see what you catch. I think that you will be pleasantly surprised....😊💕🍽

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Good tip on the seaweed shrimp storage

[@jeffreyhalter2975]

Another enjoyable video! It's been as hot in ohio, as it has been down under. Jeff in carrollton ohio

[@clifflong1203]

Epic effort again mateys! Best tube on the you!!😏😉😘👌

[@Vepoch]

Amazing episode!!!!

[@turbotimism]

here in canada we use crayfish like your yabbis, they're a bit bigger and come from freshwater

[@CraigOverend]

Interesting seeing all the rays feeding where there was a trail of leaves and organic matter on the surface of the water coming from the mangroves. Really highlights wetland importance and reminded me of the work bluecarbonlab.org are doing.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

They are focussed on the yabbie beds and I would guess that those little critters enjoy a rich detritus diet. Gutters formed by the outflow of creeks are natural fish highways and will always be the place to look for fish aggregation.

[@MrDannyr2000]

stingray flaps yum ,tried this a few years ago and the guy that caught and cooked it just cut the wings off and cooked with skin on then just peeled the skin off

[@trumpetmano]

Those Rays sure know where the Yabbie buffet is located....

[@brianboys9015]

And fabulouse diting

[@briantrishflay4731]

Great vid . Interested to find out what water maker you installed . There don’t seem to be many reliable ones , but we haven’t seen Troy doing any repairs to it as yet. [havent watched every episode yet either }

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We recently put up a water maker video. A bit dry but shows the ins and outs of servicing.

[@jimjenkins673]

,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,fair winds you two. Showing the sailing world how it’s done again.....by the way, the fellas are right, the uniform suits you just fine.

[@Wellmanneredcanine]

So glad to hear about your editing software. Looking to start editing tutorial videos of ours.

[@bronco351mal]

Great Video!! Have you caught Shovel Nose Shark/Ray and eaten them? If so how do you rate them as an eating fish? Thanks, Todd.

[@christophemulotti2169]

Rays are amazing ! I love them well cooked. Aussies are always a bit sceptical when I say that. I do cut the whole wings, remove the skin but keep the kind of cartilage with the meat. Then cook them with capers ! delicious! Here is a link to the recipe! www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette_ailes-de-raie-aux-capres_172258.aspx Sorry it’s in French :) but a good google translate and here you go :)

[@CaptainBax]

Great area for Jacks, Cod, Flathead, Mudcrabs, etc. even the odd Barra, the rocks in front Bustard Heads hold good Spanish Mackerel and reefies at times. Check out Hard Yakka Fishing Kayaker on KZbin for some tips on fishing that area next time you're up that way. Interested in seeing the next few installments to see if you fish Fitzroy Reef, 1770 or head straight down to Bundaberg and hey... I'd rather get a double lick off Pascal then a single lick off the Morning Tide Crew any day.

[@geanozz8940]

No wonder Troy doesn't share his ice cream..........it be gone

[@brucedeane8]

you met someone named Daryl ? ... that name has become even more rare than a Bruce ... crikey , you two lead an interesting life ... stay groovy
