Yet another awesome episode, thanks for the effort y’all are putting in. Just a request / recommendation for the channel. Would be awesome if you added in playlists for each of the seasons, would help to group up the episodes and for those watching to jump around to find things that you reference along the way 👍❤️

[@WildReaches]

Thanks Shaun. And great idea re the playlists mate, I’ll sort that asap. 🤙🏼

[@WildReaches]

Hey Marshall, glad you liked it mate. Yep, amazing system hey, really enjoyed this one. Merry Christmas and happy new year mate

[@jackcirrito3458]

You da Mans¡! ¡! Don't know for sure, but I think what you call a Barra is at least related to what they call a Snook in the US. Here in Mexico where I live the name is Robalo. Years ago i caught one in Manzanio Bay that weighed over15 kilos on live bait. I thought i had a shark or a ray the way it fought. Couldn't believe my eyes when it finally popped up after like 1/2 hour. What you do is an INSANE adventure that I get to share with you. So fortunate you have that resource. Thanks for the videos. Jack in Mex

[@WildReaches]

Love hearing this Jack. So cool you’re able to watch our adventures from Mexico. 🤙🏼. I’d have to check if they’re related but iv seen pics of snooks before and they’re similar. Dane gets one in the next Ep that has him hanging on like that experience of yours. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts mate. 👍🏼 spread the word there too

[@jayne3480]

It’s how it should be hey. Trading 👌🏼

[@glennbellamy8492]

Hi Guys, just a note with the use of the lip grips. You should put your hand/wrist thru the 'laynard' on the grip, the issue being that if one of those fish flick themselves free and overboard with the grips on, other than losing the grips the fish is very unlikely to be able to be able to free themselves and will most likely die. Great video as usual cheers

[@rickheaton3003]

Useful tip.. ill keep that in mind myself

[@WildReaches]

Yep iv lost a set doing that. Felt terrible about it. Now I just hang on but you’re right we should use the lanyard

[@autoglassprofessionals5130]

agreed..... i lost a pair of grips on a barra for the same reason..... worst thing was knowing id killed the barra

[@joshnewboldnewy]

I don’t think I knew that one. I thought there were females in the dams that just couldn’t breed.

Happy Healthy New Year guys. We loved this episode great fishing and what an place to be. Well we are still trying to live the dream here in the UK. We needed extra heat so Cheryl has purchased 9 hair dryers seem to be working😳 The new hammocks we got for Christmas hanging from the ceiling timbers are comfy you will be pleased to know. Now interesting what you said about Barra changing sex at a certain age , I think we have Barra genes in some people over here Nath, Hmmm! Looking forward to your trip up the river in the "African Queen". Take guys....

[@WildReaches]

Hahahahaha 🤣. You need 40 degrees Celsius in the shade Roy, and maybe I could send you a box of mosquitoes to let free in your living room then you’ll really appreciate the hammocks! You’re onto a winner there with Cheryl, she seems to be able to put up with anything!

2 complete different families mate. Coral Trout stick to the ocean, reefs bombies etc and cod find habitat in estuaries and offshore around reefs. similar flesh although Trout is better in my opinion

[@WildReaches]

Hey mate, well it could be our fishing skills 😂. Commercial fishing definitely plays a big part. They’re still there you just need to put in the time to get it all right, tides, bait, moon cycle and position etc. because we’re here to film the whole thing we can’t just concentrate on that or the show would be pretty boring most days.
