BIGGEST BARRAMUNDI and MUD CRABS for days | Camping and fishing in Northern AUSTRALIA

[@samdavis456]

5:30 is why I watch this channel and don’t give any other fishing/wildlife channels the light of day 😴

[@WildReaches]

Haha cause we were running out of water and food?

[@samdavis456]

@@WildReaches yeh bc it reflects real life situations and reminds me of real times I’ve had out in the bush. Rather than some ultra fancy unrelatable setup or some plan with padded cushions all around the outside of it. You gotta suffer some of the pain, struggle and unknown. Even if everything’s successful. It’s knowing that with 5l of water left you could be up sh*t creek soon

[@WildReaches]

@@samdavis456 Yeah I can relate to that mate. Well what you see is exactly whats happening, we like to push ourselves and then mornings like this one its all worthwhile!

[@bigd4000]

@@samdavis456 yeh too true mate I’ve unsubscribed and turned off all notifications on insta/fb and KZbin from a certain channel that tows 7m long trailers loaded with free toys they systematically wreck while decimating the roads an tracks as they go👎 Ive know Nath for a bit an what u c on the vids is how he is so no bs scripted vids on Wild Reaches👍

@@WildReaches haha maybe I need to do a few trips with u to lose some weight as haven’t seen my abs in yrs🤣

[@gardeningguy3522]

That stingray at 20:34 brings back some good memories. I remember watching in awe in the Gulf as stingrays would leap out of the water onto muddy banks chasing mud skippers, then slide down the mud back into the water ready for their next launch.

[@WildReaches]

Amazing isn’t it! I love seeing nature in its element like this!

[@stuiescampingadventures]

How awesome is it to know that these please will never be commercialised. No big apartment buildings. No freeways. Australia is lucky to have these places. And that Stingray, great footage.

[@WildReaches]

So true Stuie. Awesome hey.

[@2ChukBuk]

It's the drone footage that really puts all of this in perspective gents. This is such a unique part of the world and it really does kind of blow my mind. I can only imagine how it is on the ground. Keep it coming gentlemen.

[@WildReaches]

It puts it into perspective for us on a daily basis too Teddy. Flying the drone each morning to get a lay of the land and river and just to get that feeling of just how remote we are.

[@marshallfarr5575]

Another classic!! Can't say it enough Nath, your channel is outstanding and the filming is awesome!! Love the drone footage and the music is great!! As always keep up the great work and stay safe

Love the authenticity Nath. Cool that you and your team love the basic approach of living off the land too. Thanks for what you bring into our lounge rooms, I think I'd rather being doing it though, very cool good on you!! PS: Would you be able to advise on the colour and size preference you have with your slim twichers? I feel they're are your go to lures more often than not. Cheers 🍻🎣🐊🕶

[@WildReaches]

You’re welcome mate, so glad to hear you’re enjoying it and the show is coming across the way I want it to! Yes, I love both sizes, 110 and 125mm and my go to colour is the fire tiger, they’re a brilliant lure but the trebles aren’t the best if your chasing 80cm plus fish. They’ll get the job done but won’t last 2 fish.

This episode I loved the music and the drone footage. Also Made me have to ask if the drain systems are natural? The winding rivers are they natural? If so how amazing! Also the work to get a mud crab woof! Hats off to you both. I’d also say you guys could sell soundscapes and or live wall papers just on the beauty you’ve caught. Cheers guys! Just all so rad

[@WildReaches]

They sure are natural mate, Wild hey? Flat country and a lot of water in the wet season for 1000’s or millions of years. It’s so amazing to be submerged in such an ancient landscape. Thanks for being a part of it mate

The string rays catching jelly prawns I’ve seen it many times in Arnhem Land

[@WildReaches]

Ahh ok, that makes sense

[@oweninall4591]

Have you seen how digging crabs out destroys where they live? Wondering as the big tides in the Kimberleys move so much water it washes the banks where the holes are after you dig a crab out. Destabilises the mud.

[@WildReaches]

I’ll look into it mate, but no I can’t imagine it would. We’re digging them out to eat them anyway tho? Once we realised 4 were female we gave up and left the rest

[@ryanmcmillan9795]

Surprised you don't hit more rocks hey - must have some confidence going in these unchartered rivers. I notice your bait caster has a nice parabolic bend to it, is it a jigging rod? Couldn't tell what kind of rod it was, looked a bit like a Shimano jewel from a distance?

[@WildReaches]

We’ve hit our fair share of rock bars 😬, try our hardest not too tho. What do you mean parabolic bend? I use mostly Samurai Refractions.

[@ryanmcmillan9795]

@@WildReaches ouch the loud crack of hitting rocks is the worst 😅 OK cool yeah rods with a parabolic bend have a gradual even load along the entire length of the rod, instead of just the tip. They look like an awesome rod
