TROPICAL ISLAND FISHING | Exploring from a TINY BOAT

In this episode I fish and explore a North Queensland tropical island paradise! I jig for live bait before catching the highly prized Coral Trout, Mackerel and more. I enter the water for a snorkel and get greeted by a large Cod. It is exciting to swim with such an abundance of marine life. I hope you enjoy the natural beauty of this spectacular island as much as I do! Thanks for watching!

[@returnoutdoors2210]

It is my pleasure to share the trip! Great to hear it brought back good times. Thanks for watching!👍

[@Jimmyjames738]

Fantastic as usual mate. I can’t get enough of the island vids you do. That inshore reef is pure magic. I can’t wait to get up there again in a few months.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Hopefully the weather is favourable for your visit to the Island! Appreciate your comment! 👍

[@jenl2131]

Another great video Brad! The kids are loving watching your adventures! 😄

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Great to hear the kids enjoy coming on the adventures! Hopefully one day soon they will have a boat of their own to go exploring!😉

[@1isdom]

Good plan B👌🏽

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Excellent plan B!👍Cheers

[@sidinuga3352]

A good day for it #fishon 😎🎣

[@returnoutdoors2210]

A good day it was! Thanks my friend!👍

[@williambornatici132]

They are some nice looking Corel trout one of my favourite fish very good eating fish well done

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Coral Trout are also one of my favourite fish to eat! Thanks for your comment!👍

[@appclickable]

The waters around the Island just look amazing. The way the light lickers through underwater is mesmerizing. (I did find myself holding my breath.) It is astounding that the fish don't even seem to care that you are there. Thanks for the great video. I will be waiting to see what you get up to next and if the fish aren't biting, there is always plan B.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Glad you enjoyed coming for a snorkel! Don’t hold your breath for too long!😉Sometimes plan B is just meant to be! Thanks for your comment!👍

[@jasonhancock5881]

Another great video showcasing the fact we live in a beautiful part of QLD with great fishing on our doorstep for everyone to enjoy on a good day. Let's face it mate there was never a plan A. 😂😂😂

[@trac3pace]

You beat me to it.... "Forgot the frypan." Yeah right, Brad. Love the addition of the underwater footage. Well done!

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Totally agree this is a spectacular part of Queensland! I guess you will never know how plan A would have transpired!😉 Thanks for your support!👍

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Always great to get in the water and look at the environment from a different perspective! For the record I did forget the frypan but couldn’t get to plan B quick enough!😀Thanks for your comment and support!👍

[@aemiliancharles1615]

[@randysajul4610]

Have a good catch bro.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Sure was! Take care!👍

[@alexbyrne9477]

Super cool, thanks so much brad. My and my dad have been to some of the same spots that you have and still don't catch anything. I don't now how you do it but please keep it up as I love watching you fish .

[@returnoutdoors2210]

It is great to hear you and your dad go fishing together. Every fishing trip is a great memory, catching fish is just a bonus. Good luck with your fishing. Thank you for your kind comment!👍

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!👍

[@kevdimo6459]

Thanks Brad it doesn’t get much better than that! Another quality video mate and loved the underwater part, it’s beautiful down there. 👍🏻

[@returnoutdoors2210]

[@jmr5551000]

Nice catch

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Thanks for your comment! Cheers 👍

[@williamtukeyjr3661]

That's a nice beamy boat.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

It is quite beamy for its length!👍

[@ramatkhmat]

Hello really good💗⛵🐟

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Thank you for your kind comment!👍

[@matthomas6575]

Chips look good

[@returnoutdoors2210]

😂They were good! Cheers

[@Itchy-Feetz]

Who says you a big boat in order to catch quality fish, thoroughly enjoy your videos.👍

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I agree it is not all about big boats, big catch! Thanks for your comment it is greatly appreciated!👍

[@Mark-pz4ox]

Nice feed mate 👍 good trout , plenty of fish life ,can't beat that hey quick run over the island and get a feed 👍

[@returnoutdoors2210]

A couple of fish to take home are definitely an added bonus to a great day on the water. Thanks for your support!👍

[@aaronjarvis4524]

Another great video, good to see so much fish life on the fringing coral, I reckon those 2 trout you followed underwater knew they were in the green zone. We live in a special part of the world to be able to head close offshore and be a chance of catching quality fish. Thanks for sharing, lunch or a coffee at that hotel is a highlight of any trips around the island definitely a good plan B.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Too true, the trout certainly were confident in their habitat. It is always great when the trip ends with a snack and a quiet reflection on the day. Thanks for your comment it is genuinely appreciated!👍

[@leochiu1675]

Nice 👍

[@crispernator]

Gday mate a very productive day 2 coral trout ,ive only ever had that once and it was amazing to eat .What species of mackeral was that i only know the spaniard .I hope that lad with the tinny is watching your videos and sees how much you actually catch you dont need 35,000 dollar boat to catch a good feed take care .

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Coral trout are definitely superb eating! The mackerel was a Qld school mackerel! Very fortunate to have access to such beautiful locations from a small boat! Thanks for your support!👍

[@thebayslayer1]

@@returnoutdoors2210 Thanks regards from Greece. Keep up the good work.

[@stevehershberger2672]

I enjoyed that. Underwater footage was a good add..how many kg you reckon that grouper was?

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I am not sure of the weight but it was definitely a nice bonus to swim with! Glad you enjoyed watching. Your comment is greatly appreciated!👍

[@johnsykes706]

Do you keep the wings off your Trout mate? Do yourself a favour and cook the wings like sweet chilli crab they turn out fantastic.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

From time to time I cook the wings, but I have not tried with sweet chilli sauce. I will definitely give this a try! Thanks for the tip, Brad.

[@MattFogarty95]

What a vid mate !! Where about are you in north qld ?

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I usually fish between Airlie Beach and Mission Beach! Glad you enjoyed the video!👍

[@denisebrady6858]

Does your Wife & Family not eat fish ?? as you always cook up for yourself. Hey not a bad day fishing but come on teach us how to fillet fish- I am learning the tying of crabs but now to learn filleting fish please. Cheers Denise- Brisbane

[@returnoutdoors2210]

The family enjoy eating fish very much and it is a big part of our weekly diet. It is great to hear you are keen to learn new skills. Cheers, Brad.

[@davidcrossingham2997]

[@jenl2131]
