00:00 under this mangrove root there's a little flatty it's right there
00:05 I don't think he can see me so today I've challenged myself to catch my own
00:15 food out here in the mangroves now the only thing I brought with me to help me
00:19 do this is this bow and a few arrows right here I've jumped on my kayak early
00:24 this morning got out here tides coming up we're gonna be hunting through the
00:27 mangroves and through the water to try and get something with the bow we might
00:31 even have a chance at getting a big mud crab as the tide comes up a bit later on
00:36 out here there's a lot of deadly animals we'll have to watch out for as well
00:39 there's a lot of stonefish and stingrays that live around this area so we're
00:43 barefoot right now exactly what you want when you're sharing this place with
00:46 those deadly creatures but we're gonna jump in the kayak start heading around
00:50 and see if we can get something first up in the morning then we're gonna cook it
00:54 all up later on mangrove survival eating only what I catch out here let's get
00:58 into it
01:01 big school of mullet busting up just over here look you can see some little
01:19 ones in the shallows Oh big one sitting around there just out from those trees
01:32 oh just took off that was so close so the tides coming up pretty high right
01:42 now what I think I'm gonna do is all these little channels they're getting
01:46 too deep and too murky for me to actually see the fish in but what's
01:50 gonna happen is as the water starts coming up these fish are going to be
01:53 pushing further into the mangroves here we go
02:01 heaps of big mullet yep there we go got him big mullet where is he yes got him
02:25 there we go I've been hunting through the mangroves for ages that's where all
02:31 the mullet go all the mangrove Jack go so what I'm gonna do park my kayak up
02:36 far into the mangroves go for a walk around and see if we can catch some
02:40 lunch
02:42 all right so we're trekking through the mangroves now hunting for mullet big mud
03:06 crab whoa where is he oh he's next to my leg I got a close look at the crab and
03:30 it's a big female so we're not gonna worry about catching that one we're
03:34 looking for a big male that we can cook up the tides getting higher there will
03:37 be more mud crabs coming out as the day goes on so hopefully we can get one soon
03:43 [Music]
04:09 mangrove Jack just down there well that didn't go to plan
04:19 completely missed him
04:23 mud crab right there just sitting in the shallows already seen me so when the
04:37 tides this high they will come out looking for food and that's exactly what
04:41 this guy's doing and you can see him sitting right down there he's probably a
04:47 male and he's probably a legal crab as well so the idea for this video was to
04:51 go bow fishing you're not allowed to bow fish these crabs but what we're gonna do
04:55 grab him chuck him in the kayak mate all right so we'll just grab him as he's
05:06 trying to grab me well nearly got me there we go big male mud crab out here
05:13 in the mangroves look at that that's awesome he's a nice light color this one
05:17 he's definitely legal as well we'll measure him up just to make sure but I
05:20 reckon that's gonna be my dinner so you've seen me catch plenty of mud crabs
05:23 in the mangroves before this one is not a monster compared to some of the ones
05:27 that I've pulled out of this mangrove section but what we're gonna do now is
05:31 we're gonna jump back in the kayak we're gonna go hunting and see if we can get
05:34 one for dinner along with this mud crab
05:38 surely
05:56 there we go
06:02 ah miss him again
06:10 Oh missed him that was so close big brim was just sitting up in here feeding as
06:39 the tides pushing out but he got away that's alright keep hunting alright so I
06:48 just missed that brim before right here and what I didn't see was just up under
06:54 this mangrove root there's a little flatty so I don't know what the best
07:00 angle is to get a shot at him see if I can find his head
07:07 Oh
07:09 it's right there I don't think he can see me yes I got him
07:30 oh he's trying to get away there we go take a look at that right there not a
07:41 good shot but we're gonna kill him straight away yes we got dinner and we
07:49 got a mud crab as well we did it mate take a look at that illegal flathead it
07:53 went 43 centimeters the legal limit for these guys is 40 so what we're gonna do
07:58 is we've got the mud crab in the front of my kayak we're gonna start heading
08:01 out of here find a place to build a fire it's getting into the later hours of the
08:05 day at the moment but it's so cool that we got a flathead and now we got a mud
08:09 crab that we can cook up this is my go-to place for bow fishing the amount
08:13 of flathead the amount of cod and brim that I've shot with bows both primitive
08:18 and bows like this in this area is absolutely crazy they all push up into
08:22 the mangroves and then as the tide goes out they'll wait for little fish to swim
08:26 past them but we did it we got dinner all right let's go cook them up
08:54 so we're gonna make up a little fireplace and cook up this mud crab
08:58 first and then we'll chuck the flatty on after yes got a fire going not a bad
09:09 change of scenery going from getting eaten by mozzies in the mangroves all
09:13 day to being down a creek like this after I cook these guys up I'm gonna go
09:17 for a swim
09:19 [Music]
09:22 so here's the mud crab and here's the flatty we're not gonna do anything too
09:32 fancy with them we're just gonna pretty much chuck them straight in the fire
09:35 gonna take the guts out of this flatty but yeah been a pretty cool mission so
09:39 far got dinner out here in the mangroves that's all I wanted to do today that's
09:42 what I challenged myself to do so it's cool to see that a bit of hard work going
09:47 through the mangroves paid off all right I reckon the fires ready we'll chuck
09:50 this mud crab on get it cooking we're actually gonna chuck the flathead on
09:53 first so we'll just whack it straight over like that that'll cook up quickly
09:59 and at the end is when we'll chuck the crab in and cook it in the coals
10:04 [Music]
10:23 all right I reckon that's ready and we might as well chuck the mud crab
10:28 straight on so we've just killed this mud crab so he's dead now and we'll
10:33 chuck him in
10:36 cut up a lemon
10:41 and a bit of fresh fish mate after a big day of hunting
10:51 tastes like a freshly caught flatty if you ask me so that mud crab is nearly
10:58 done we've nearly finished the flathead already we still got a whole mud crab to
11:02 eat we'll get it off and eat it up the creek
11:06 the Sun is just going down through the canopy right now I don't know what I'm
11:23 gonna do tonight I might start filming another video I've got some really cool
11:26 videos planned we're heading to Tasmania soon so if you know any cool places down
11:31 there to explore I'm gonna be looking for things like wombats those giant
11:36 crayfish Tasmanian devils Tasmanian tigers hopefully so yeah if you know any
11:41 cool places let me know but I reckon this crabs ready
11:46 [Music]
12:02 that is so good
12:14 it's probably one of the best mud crabs I've ever cooked and I'm in such a cool
12:18 creek system what a way to end the adventure
12:23 catching my own food out in the mangroves challenge successful mud crab
12:33 and a big flatty we missed a couple other fish but if you want to see me do
12:37 more of these challenges I'm posting videos like this every week so thank you
