Overnight Tinny camping adventure to Shag Rock - North Stradbroke Island

Hello and welcome back. Im stoked to be back on the water and in this video I go from the Gold Coast to Shag Rock on an overnight boat camping trip. I do some fishing and spear fishing around Shag Rock and catch absolutely nothing. I also have a go at grabbing a cray fish and can't get that either. Despite this its great to just be out in the boat relaxing and having a few beers. That is was camping is all about.
If you go to Shag Rock maybe you will have better luck so get out there and get into it.
So hope you enjoy the video. If you want to support the channel, go check out the Aus Adventure website and grab yourself some merchandise.

Glad you’re back at it mate, great vid 🤙

[@AusAdventure]

Thanks mate. 🍻

[@jamesr5741]

Yeah I agree with you on the Flathead, their pretty dry when they get that big anyway. It was crazy that reef was so empty of fish, they must come through periodically? Maybe Burley up the water? Could you try fishing for squid at night? It was all a great day in paradise anyway, thanks for the video!

[@AusAdventure]

Cheer mate. That reef gets hit pretty hard by fisherman and spearos so I wasn’t surprised. It was great to be in the water though. Thanks for watching Jim

[@jeffreyflynn9106]

Rarely anything there except baitfish

[@tylersalmon-patrick9321]

so keen to have you back making videos you should try going for sharks at night that would be a cool vid

Yeah I might give that a go one of these days mate.

Solo spearing. Safety wise, Do you display blue n white flag? Great tinny adventures BTW.

[@AusAdventure]

Hi Andrew I do have an Alpha flag that attaches to my float. But I sometimes stick it on the boat instead. Just depend on how rough the water is. 🍻

[@bigd4000]

I was out that weekend. Didn’t get much myself. Not that I can catch

Where were you fishing Peter?

[@guttermanws]

Awesome video mate! Just wanna know how much fuel you carry to make these massive trip!

[@AusAdventure]

Thanks mate. I had 75l for that trip but only used about 55l.

[@guttermanws]

Thanks mate keep up the great stuff!

[@bartekwus1]

How long did it take you to get from runaway Bay to up north straddle?

[@AusAdventure]

Took me about 2.5 hours. Pretty slow trip when the tinny is fully loaded

[@AlexBegg1]

Hey Shannon, such a sick video man. I'm hoping to do the same thing and was just wondering if you had to go out through the bar between moreton and north straddie to access shag rock? I've got a similar tinnie and had heard that bar crossing can be pretty hairy, but from google maps it looks like you could sneak around close to shore on the northern point of straddie? Thanks man!

[@AusAdventure]

Hi Alex, yeah you do have to cross the south passage bar to get to Shag Rock. It can be a very dangerous bar so you want to cross it near the top of the incoming tide and when there is a small swell. I did stick pretty close to the shore of North Straddie when I did it.

[@AlexBegg1]

@@AusAdventure awesome thanks so much for the info man. If you get low swell and the top of the rising tide is it more or less an easy journey? I haven’t done a bar crossing before so I’m a bit hesitant!

[@AusAdventure]

That’s the easiest time to cross a bar but you also need to take into account the wind and swell size. If you are in doubt about it being safe just don’t go.

[@ashlielowry8625]

Hay mate. What brand of canopy is that? cheers

[@AusAdventure]

I believe it is Ocean South. I have a video about installing it so check that out if you want more info. Cheers

[@theowoollett1826]

Have you thought about an ally under floor tank mate?

[@AusAdventure]

There isn’t a lot of room under my floor and would be a big job so not for this boat. If I ever get a new boat I will definitely want one.

[@theowoollett1826]

@@AusAdventure I’m looking at fabbing up a few I’d be keen to sponsor you with one for a bit of advertising 🍻 love the vids

[@AusAdventure]

Do you own a fabrication business mate?

[@theowoollett1826]

@@AusAdventure no I work at a sheetmetal shop. We do stainless kitchens but I’m looking at making a tank for mine and maybe a few extras and seeing if they sell. Will be within next month or so but I’d be happy to donate you one for a shoutout. Been watching your vids forever

[@AusAdventure]

Thanks for the offer mate but I’m thinking of selling this boat soon but send me some photos of a finished product so I can check them out.

[@Musclehustlerz]

Antarctica next?

[@AusAdventure]

😂 that would be an adventure

[@desgamble7643]

How is it sleeping in that Dune swag mate. Thinking about getting one for exactly what you are doing. Overnight fishing/ camping trips. Cheers

[@AusAdventure]

That swag is ok when its cooler but in summer it can get a bit hot. I do have a new swag which is also a Dune buts its the King single and has vents at both ends and is higher so it doesn't touch you when you are sleeping. That all makes it much more comfortable. Only thing is that it is much larger to store in the boat. On a clear night with the swag open I do find I sleep like a baby. Hope that helps
