BOWFISHING ON FLOATING TINY HOME OVERNIGHT!!! (Bug Swarm Disaster)

[@mirandamaher9465]

When you use a wet batter, you have to leave the basket down when dropping in the fish. Only lift the basket once the fish is cooked.

[@dalegereaux1863]

Brandon, you got to get a bug zapper for the front and back of your houseboat. That way the bugs are attracted to something besides your windows and the lights inside. 😉 The deck at the lake house what's 12 ft wide and 40 ft long. The bug zapper was in the middle hanging from the outside rail. I guess it's because the color of the light the bugs were more attracted to that and the lighting on the deck. They're not that expensive, so it's worth a try. Plus, it's entertaining to watch the bugs fly into it and snap crackle and pop !

[@lonestaradventures1862]

Agreed. If you had bug zappers it’ll help. Yes they attract bugs but they attract the bugs to the zappers and it will help greatly.

[@kurob3370]

That and put some curtains inside the doors to block the light

[@damianjerez1674]

they have indoor zappers also

[@KaiserSocase]

3 bug zappers, unfortunately because of the shower and bath it takes the place for one of the zappers

[@rellyfrazier-iu2ol]

Why u ain’t keep the fish u catch

[@TheSixWingedSeraph]

Don't know if it has been suggested, but a battery powered vacuum with a wide head attachment would be good for getting rid of the bugs inside the boat before bed.

[@Belznis]

For the bugs, just hang Thermacell on all 4 corners of the boat, the insects will keep distance. Those things come as gas lamps too and you even have a sort of ranger version which you can hang on your belt while being in the jungle. You can also place one inside, but I recommend to vent the room before closing it up, because people have said it is not good to be in the same room with it due to the substance used. But contrary to zappers, it reppels insects.

[@LouDawg78]

Definitely thermocel

[@lschoenrank]

I'd put a thermacell outside right by the door to keep the insects from gathering there. Then when they open the door to go in or out it shouldn't be an issue. Of course, they'll be going through refills fairly quick.

[@Krazykal]

Also try actually turning off your interior lights.

[@AithwenQuinn]

😂too many lights 😂 they are attracted to them

[@trippinoutdoors]

Don't they use concentrated DDT? I'd kill for a natural bug repellent and killer that's a great price for once myself. One that genuinely works wonders.

[@zachhopper9109]

One way to fight the bugs is maybe putting one way film on the windows so they cant see the light inside or just add the darkest tint you can find.

[@nicholasflick8997]

It would also take the visibility of the boat away.

[@FarmerFpv]

Peppermint extract works for spiders. It might work for flying insects as well. Spiders won't go near it.

[@LuisTorres-zc5do]

You guys made me laugh so hard with the top bunk bed situation that my wife had to come check on me 😂. Really good video and congratulations on the TV show!

[@michaelross1544]

For the bugs you should get a couple of those fans that go above the doors and point down and only turn on when the door opens. You see them at gas stations and grocery stores. Also, poor your oil back in the bottle through a funnel lined with some coffee filters. Keeps it safe from spills and saves money.

[@dizzlefshizzle]

19:00 you need curtains over the windows and doors so it doesn't attract so many at once and then also a bug zapper or two! The screen enclosure idea is also a genius idea for when you are fileting your fish and cooking with the lights on! 😏 😅😅😂

[@goneliftin]

Anyone else think Guga should join them on the Catch and Cook?

He would try to make a stake out of every fish they catch. With his experimentation might be a funny episode.

[@lyngreen-looms2656]

Don’t leave the inside lights on when you leave the boat. That’s what attracts the insects to the doors. Yellow lights on the porch near the door may also help.

[@williamcampbell6589]

The house boat videos are definitely great.

[@timmitchell8784]

Hey buddy when frying fish. Don’t lay them into the basket and lower it into the oil. Put the basket down and carefully lay the fish into the oil one at a time. That way it won’t stick to the basket and you’ll get an even cook all the way around.

[@oolong2]

You need to put screens/mosquito nets around that porch area so that you have a buffer between the bugs and the indoor area. All that light and concentrated C02 is going to attract bugs regardless. The door to the mosquito netting can simply be the kind where the opening closes up with magnets. Something you can can roll up or put away when you're moving fast or fishing. I would probably put overlapping netting in front of the door to the houseboat as well so that you go through one piece of netting going onto the porch and another curtain of netting when opening the door, just to have that extra buffer to prevent any that slip into the porch area from also getting into the indoor area.

Try break-cleaner and a scotchbrite pad maybe for the pontoons, also maybe some candles for the bugs or spray. It may be overboard to go syfy and put a chamber inbetween for debugging

Hey, Brandon. Nice to see the Nautical Bros again. Hudson went the extra mile to get spares for you. Lol'd when your girl wouldn't make the houseboat deal. Looks like you had quite the successful fishing/bow fishing day. And the bugs.. just grab a couple of those annoying lizards. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy and safe, all of you 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@CombatDoc54]

I live on Table Rock Lake and what I found their best solution for night insects was a one gallon shop vac. Once in for the night, suck up all you can. Helps a lot. Also on the generator exhaust, I took the muffler off, got steel threaded pipe and lengthened the exhaust to the edge off the boat and curved it downward with a 90 degree elbow then put a muffler on it.

[@StevenPrewitt]

I quote this is the most organized thing you have ever owned 😂 love the content keep up the good work. Much love from Indiana 💥

[@0311nick19]

Mosquito nets outside the doors. Yes inconvenient cause you got to slide them over but they will work. Also turning the porch light to something other than fluorescent would keep the bugs away. Maybe a yellow tone light.

[@oldladyfish]

Give the whole house and boat blue skys white fluffy coulds and blue crashing waves. Especially the poontons with blue and white water waves so it looks like is gliding through the water all the time.

[@CptCrunchBerryz]

You could put an air curtain above the doors so every time you open the door it turns on and blows air down to the floor so bugs can’t come in

[@maristresemann4552]

I would love a night on the house boat!!! I wear a CPAP so no problem with the bugs!!!!! Lololol

[@wackadoobrewsquatch3718]

I made the same mistake welding the stuff to the basket. When you're using a wet batter, get everything battered then have the basket already dropped laying them directly into the oil.

[@simonworthington3330]

Need to invest in those bug zappers at end of boat and could they have an extendable / telescopic pole to move it further away . Bright lights are attracting them inside , switch them off and have external ones on to lure them on outside. Dam your loving the food. Great video

[@rhondareynolds3931]

You guys should get a vacuum vacuum all those bugs up

[@PKAdventures]

when frying things with a wet batter you want to put the basket down first, then add the battered fish or whatever else you're cooking to the oil. this should help keep it from sticking to the basket like that. also it's not a bad idea to kinda half dunk the fish in the oil and hold it there for about 2 or 3 seconds before you let it go. this will cook the bottom and help keep it from sticking to the basket. and if you're frying in a pot without a basket, doing this will help keep the food from sticking to the bottom and burning.

[@TaylorMasonMusic336]

The music in this was a vibe, also your laugh is very contagious!!!!

[@drakeowens5592]

[@xDRAMx]

All you need to do to help with the bugs is install a net infront of each door. Some even come with magnets to hold it shut and you can make sure its closed. Got a few for my house to leave the doors open when its nice and cool in the summer.

[@TommyAlanRaines]

Awesome video to wrap up the weekend. Keep Orange Crushing It!

[@Seth_5569]

Put fans blowing across the front and back deck to minimize bugs. Also maybe air curtains that turn on when the doors are opened.

@@JigginWithJordan I would try screening both porches in and adding a screen door on both sides not sure what else would help other than fly strips and outdoor bug zappers on the porches

[@P-J-W-777]

Still need to get that big 4 stroke upgrade on the house boat so you have plenty of power to move the house in windy conditions and so y’all won’t get hurt with the 2 stroke exhaust. You could add a remote control system to it as well so you can drive it from the front deck if you want to.

[@carrieboykin2477]

Everything looks so amazing and fun I hope yall have an amazing week😊

[@roblindsey3751]

Screen the front and back with those as you see on tv garage door screens and get real good blackout curtains so less light to attract the bugs. Citronella candles are good too.

[@Tire_Shredders_Studio]

You can buy rolls of fly paper. Just hang a few rolls on each side. They will catch 1000s of bugs, just tear the paper and pull down more. You could knock down the amount of bugs pretty quickly. Or leave them hanging while you go fish. Side note - You should drop battered foods directly into a fryer by hand (or with tongs) instead of setting them in the basket and lowering the basket. The oil couldnt get between the fish and the basket which is why they were glued to it.

[@janellevoigt5481]

you need a hanging bug zapper, like they make for outdoors!

[@janellevoigt5481]

It might be worth a try?

[@AngelaMercer-x1r]

Hang a bug zapper on a hanger out over the water a bit.. when it zaps and kills the bugs they will drop into the water and attract fish right to your boat.. dead bugs.. fish right at your boat= win win

[@codeylaquee6878]

Grab a handheld vacuum and vacuum them up

[@Sun-ut9gr]

Pretty sure you gotta drop the basket empty into the fryer and then drop the pieces in one by one with tongs. Beer batter is annoying lol You can try screen curtains over the doors for the bugs but you really need bug zappers and some of those thermocells as well to really wage war on FL bugs!

[@middletnpyro]

spot on that's frying 101 👌

[@juliebugiyne4121]

Just a thought- bugs like yellow lights. Maybe you could mount yellow lights outside the house boat but toward the middle on both sides, away from the doors. And maybe those magnet style screen doors might help?

[@anthonyfields9728]

😅 get some yellow bug lights. the bugs are attracted to the white light.

[@jkreienkamp86]

For the Beer Batter, don't put the fish on the basket before placing them in the oil. Put the basket down and gently place the fish directly in the oil.

[@robo1422]

For the bugs you should add a bug zapper or some essential oils, peppermint lemongrass, those help will with the bugs problems. Love the house boat it’s amazing

[@rileyshane78]

Lake Hatchniha has the most alligators, I’ve ever seen. Used to go out there and run the edges in airboat and seen more than I’ve ever seen in one lake as a life long Floridian who grew up on airboats.

[@garrett5753]

Hey Jordan good idea for the bug solution. Try putting a retractable arm that sticks out on over the water so when the bugs get zapped they fall into the water and make good bluegill,brim chum then that attracts the bigger fish.

[@GreysonRoberts]

25:15 y’all stoned lmao

[@MelvinMaya]

You need to put a bug zapper on the front and back of the boat for some bug control. Or a small vacuum with a hose, so you can just suck them all up, lol.

[@waddles3858]

I think different colored lights helps not attract bugs and definitely some bug repellent candles?

[@chrishigdon3850]

Small vacuum is all you need for bugs bro. Just put one light on to attract them and go wild. 😉

[@rb2745]

in australia, we use yellow/amber lights with a lens filter. they dont attract insects period. its particularly good on minesites to avoid insects on nightshift and great camping in the outback

[@joeysvatba9964]

For the bugs inside you could use a vacuum cleaner to clear them out. Works well with fruit flies as well.

[@ProvoDrive]

You need a couple of bug zapper lights. The zappers are not attracting the bug from a distance like the lights inside. Add an anti sway kit to your trailer. I have one for my 4,200 lb travel trailer. A buddy has one on his 8,500lb travel trailer. Absolutely worth it

[@DerpSlayer9001]

For the bug zapper, what you could try is adding some kind of boom arm to swing out when you're out on the water to get it further away from the doors, but you can still swing it in to secure it for transportation

[@jaynegixer]

Brilliant video 😊

[@clifbradley]

If you want to get rid of the bugs like that, an oscillating fan works pretty good, especially if you get one that does misting. Another option is diatomaceous earth. They make a bug vacuum too. It has a separate chamber to trap the bugs, otherwise it will just spit the bugs back out. If you put soapy water on the walls outside the house, that willw also get rid of them. Drop in a tiny amount of cornstarch in tne mix to thicken the solution.
