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

[@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.

[@maryjohnson5776]

😂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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

A shop vac to suck up the bugs before bed works amazing!! 😎👌🏼🤣🤣

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@goneliftin]

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

[@Belznis]

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

[@thesandtiger]

good to see Hudson again glad to see he is doing well

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@williamcampbell6589]

The house boat videos are definitely great.

[@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.

[@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 👌

[@saintsefo4763]

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 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@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.

[@ryanreynolds720]

For the bugs you could get something that blows high pressure air down when you open the door. Those bugs couldn't fly through that

[@kimpedigo6411]

I like the houseboat in the catch and cook and the bowfishing good video❤ great seeing your girlfriend take her on a trip with y'all

[@joeysvatba9964]

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

[@williamcampbell6589]

When you have a wet badder, you have to drop the fish in the oil. You can't put it in the basket and then drop it in.

[@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

[@hallelujahhomestead]

Alright, Brandon, I thought you might enjoy another recipe for the catch and cook cabin. Here’s a recipe for your next tilapia catch and cook. 😊 Ingredients: Tilapia fillets 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (not the powder stuff) 1/4 cup softened butter 3 tablespoons mayo 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 pinches of dried basil 2 pinches Black pepper 1 pinch Celery salt 1 pinch Onion powder Parchment paper Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and broil the tilapia fillets about 3 minutes on each side. Mix all other ingredients in a bowl. Remove the fillets and slap the mixture on top. Stick back in the oven for about 2 more minutes until golden and bubbly. You can KISS and enjoy it by itself but I like mine over herb n butter rice. You could serve with a little roasted asparagus with garlic and butter.

[@rileyshane78]

[@daisymossie]

For the bugs you should bring a mini cordless vacuum and then you can suck up the bugs off the ceiling and wall.

[@Mooch1222]

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

[@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.

[@skelley6136]

House boat is lookin awesome! Good to see Hudson saving the day too! Need to screen in that back area or something

[@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

[@JigginWithJordan]

It’s a nice touch 😂😂😂

[@FtBallJock6]

@@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

[@jeffwilmot847]

need buy one of those over the doorway air curtains. Makes a curtain of air to keep bugs out!!!!

[@nisivon]

for the beer batter, drop the empty fry basket in the fryer and then put them in one at a time and let each one cook for like 5 seconds before you put the next one in. That should help them not stick together. For them sticking to the bottom shake the basket a little a few times while they're cooking, that will help a little but it's kind of hard to prevent them sticking to the bottom.

[@jim3099]

Love the Channel ! I know it's not great for filming, but yellow and red light don't attract bugs like white and blue lights do. You should get some waterproof RGB strip lighting, then you can change it up as needed. If you hang an outdoor bug zapper out over the water, the falling insects should attract fish and keep the insects that are nearby busy.

[@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.

[@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.

[@cardsfanbj]

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

[@jbuck3592]

U guys need a little shop vac to vac the bugs up before bed and also a ton of fly sticky strips

[@michaelcuchinelli5598]

Citronella oil tiki torches attached to the railings on both ends of the boat should help take care of most of the bug problems along with shades pulled down on the windows to block the light from attracting the bugs.

[@wilo3244]

FOR THE BUGS: how about those fan that turns on when you open the door to keep the cool ac air from escaping. It probably will keep the bugs out as well.

[@petrokemikal]

Get some bug zapper lights for the deck outside and tint your windows.. In the middle of the lake at night, your lights are attracting pretty much all of them lol..

[@KaedeSenou]

For the bugs, my suggestion is to turn off all the lights inside the boat and hang some bug zappers outside. Open the doors, and the bugs will fly out, lured by the light. Use a broom or a cloth to flail around and encourage the bugs to move. Close the door before turning the lights on again. It won’t get ALL the bugs, but it will get most of them.

[@nicholasflick8997]

You would need the zapper on the roof to pull them away from the doors. Also depending on size most of the time you would only need one.

[@carrieboykin2477]

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

[@matthewgietzen6630]

Different color lights outside at night. And a bug vacuum for inside. 👍🏻

[@perry5598]

Those bugs are attracted to the white lights, you might want to try Amber lights or yellow. Bugs are not very attracted to the yellow spectrum. 🤔

[@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.

[@TaylorMasonMusic336]

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

[@matthewphillips1971]

Tint or put pull down blinds on the windows and paint the porch a dark color.

[@mikeg1449]

For bugs inside to get rid on the cheap get a decent size fan and some mesh bug screen and attach an led light strip to the inside of the bug mesh on the fan. If you keep the fan on bugs will get sucked in and trapped inside the mesh not being able to get out and dehydrate.

[@chrisbergeron860]

Love the house boat. You mentioned swaying issues when hauling on the road. That is usually an issue when your tongue weight is to light. Try scooting boat forward 6 to 12 inches. Also with the bug issue we always strung multi colored Christmas lights outside when camping. Bugs aren't as attracted to them as much. Also set up softer lighting inside and just use fluorescent lights when absolutely needed. Hope you get all the bugs worked out. Lol. Again really enjoy the videos.

[@stevengaskill6515]

The house boat videos are awesome! I would have brought my 18v Milwaukee vacuum to clean up the bugs once I came in for the night. Or try all the different ideas in the comments. If those ideas doesn't work it will probably only be a winter time boat.

[@brookemaples8411]

You should hang the googan bait wall on French cleats. So they are sturdy when hanging but can easily be taken down at night. Love the boat!

[@IInfamouss]

When I go camping, we use lights that you can toggle between White and Orange. Orange helps a lot against bugs compared to white UAV

[@theadventurer3234]

You need a heavy duty quality blanket to go and end of the patio hangs down for when you leave at night and on clips in the morning covering the whole patio window like a big sheet blanket

[@fusionaddict]

Have you considered getting some solar panels for the roof? You can get a battery box generator that can store a couple days’ worth of power and it can recharge during the day for free or by hooking up to an RV outlet when you’re on land, that will save fuel costs & runtime on the gas generator.

[@dominicw.g3722]

[@ricenutz]

Love the videos keep it up. I had a thought on your sway problem at higher speeds. You may be heavy in the back. Relocate or add weight towards the front of the boat while towing.

[@michaelcuchinelli5598]

Sway bars added to the Trailor and truck will take care of the swaying problem even at higher speeds

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

You could hang a bug zapper off a 10 foot boom on the quarter of the deck. Run it off a solar/battery/inverter set. It may draw bugs but it will also kill them and it'll be away from the door. Currently your lights just draw them in. The tralier looks more like a yard/ramp trailer than something meant for the main road.

[@CarinaRockliff]

Change the lights to yellow globes if possible or cover light lenses with yellow tint, bugs aren't attracted to it light white light. Then, have the white light shining out the front and back away from the entry points. Also but some magnetic fly screen doors to put over doorways 😊❤

[@ryanwethington8188]

[@theetactician]

You definitely need different lighting for the night. Red or even black lights. Keeping the interior lights off when gone or like I said dimmer colored lights. I know that’s harder to film with, but its still possible for the night shots. I personally wouldn’t mind.You could also screen in the back porch at least so you can use the bathroom and fill the generator without letting bugs in. Maybe also build some extension poles with big bug zappers to get them up over the roofline when anchored. Love the content man can’t wait to see more.

[@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

[@RichSanDiego1969]

[@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

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@speedxxxing254]

For the bugs consider spraying your boat deck down with a fogger can of bug repellent. I live in southeast Texas and it works great. It can be found at almost any hardware store. It’s made to be sprayed on your yard for temporary bug relief but I’d imagine it would work great out there and it smells good too!

[@TheCritterWindow]

Get a small shop vac for the inside bugs. Or they also make a bug light that has a fan inside so when they fly too close it sucks them in. I use a shop vac for lady bugs in the house.

[@drtsprt]

With a wet batter like that, put the basket into the oil first and slowly drop the battered fish into the oil. It'll create a crust fast enough that the batter can't stick to the basket. Otherwise, the wet batter creates its crust around the basket and the fish since it was already touching the basket.

[@fishinwithpippin2381]

[@adamduhbomb8239]

For the bugs you gotta get a door fan that blows air straight down, so the bugs don’t settle. They make them for restaurant doors to keep bugs out.

[@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.

[@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! 😏 😅😅😂

[@dabeev]

Absolutely get a couple thermacell lamps. You could also get a portable fogger to clear it.
