Aussie Wild Camp Canoe Trip- I FINALLY Catch A Bass!! 

Your stories take me to a better time when my wife and I were a young couple camping she has cancer and will leave me soon after 37 years of marriage so thank you for transporting me to a better time!

The fact that you pulled in just to set up the shot and then paddled back out to pull in again for the shot.......you are awesome brother!!! True dedication to quality content!!

Beautiful video, as always. Congratulations on the Fish!!!!! Thanks for taking us with you.

Hey scotty, reckon you could put a gear list and general location for your trips in the description or About section of the channel? Would be really helpful for other hikers here in Sydney like me! Might get me into regular old camping too, looks very appealing to not have to worry about weight and cook up some feasts like you do.

You could always put a damp paper towel around the corn/potato then roll it in aluminium foil, this way it keeps the vegie moist and steams it in a way. It doesnt burn the vegie aswell i found.

I love my canoeing too so really enjoyed watching this video. Keep up the great work, not enough Australian canoeing on youtube.

A great 54mins has inspired me to get back out! Thanks mate

remember when fishing it's not about how big of fish you caught, it's more about the expereience and the vibes you get but,you for sure caught a decent fish man,nice,thanks for another awsome vid.

You finally got one and now YOU are hooked! Keep up the good work.

Onya Scottie. Nice fish. And you let it go. Seriously mate if there is a nicer person in this country I want to know about them. Love your adventures. Please keep them coming. Legend.

Thanks for doing a canoe trip! That was a great trip! So glad that you decided to slip away... Congrats on the fish Mate!

Thank you man. A real pleasure to watch your trips. You enjoy so much small stuff, the sound of the beer, the sheer joy of catching this fish. It s a good inspiration to enjoy life in all it s aimplicity. Cheers from Switzerlabd

Well done catching that monster bass mate. Love your stuff. Keep going.

I’ve got my window open and listening to the birds in this video and outside is amazing

You stuck with it and you got on the fish! A great feeling isn't it? Beautiful spot and beautiful big bass! Thanks for another great video with fantastic filming and editing I might add. Cheers!

Well done with the fishing cobber. Thanks for taking us along

Trolling for Bass is great fishing!! Congratulations on your bass brother❤

Hey Scotty congrats on landing the Bass! I'm so jealous of you when you head out, I'm in QLD and I'm really limited to the places where you can go and have a camp fire. Thanks for the videos keep them coming

wow yet another good good trip, love watching your trips. So glad you got your fish all the best Matt & Lorraine

Beautiful spot mate. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Love the look on your face when you land that perch. Great stuff!

Next up ... Catch, Cook, and Gin.

Mate,when you got stuck in to that roo steak and onions my mouth watered with salivation. Thank you for the awesome content.cheers from fnq.👍

Congrats on your first fish, I knew you could do it ! I love your videos, Australia is on my bucket list because of you and another Aussie youtuber.

Hit rewind on you fixing the knots to the tree about 5 times - sure is better than the double granny I use for pretty much everything.

stunning vid mate!! thanks for sharing these amazing experiences with us

Another great video mate, congrats on the fish. A huge thanks to you, my sons and I watch your vids and it has inspired us to buy packs and venture out and enjoy nature. Learning about nature and experiencing the high country of Victoria. Thanks again

Good tucker mate, good tucker!!!

Amazing video Scotty. All I can say is, it’s beautiful place to get out & enjoy. Here in England it’s very wet & dark coming in to winter. It’s good to see where spring has gone! Enjoy it. Thank you Andy

Congrats, that’s awesome!

Your Bass are way cooler looking than ours here in the States. But, we make it up by having way cooler looking perch. Our Sun Perch are orange, blue and brown. Thanks for the awesome videos. I've always wanted to go to Australia and never have.

hi Scotty awesome videos and congrats on the bass also thanks for sharing Aus with us in the uk. the video of you guys getting together at the beach has gone and it was my favorite and great inspiration to get more people out into nature so please, please ,please put it back up, good luck Scotty and thank you.

lol when you on about prehistric looking i saw beer tin swimming in front with shark fin, on a tin as beer can art, logo somthing to take a bite out of a bad day

Try a plastic paddle tail on a jig or a plastic senko worm either Texas rigged or wacky style. Both are very effective and pretty easy to learn. Good luck!

That's not even my line.... lol cracked me up :) so excited that you caught some fish, can't wait for the catch and cook videos. Congratulations and hopefully plenty more fish to come.

Thanks for the video Scotty. Good luck on improving your fishing skills this season. Cheers!

Love seeing out the front of the canoe instead of a constant selfie, anyhow nice vid. Congratulations on your bass

Awesome mate congratulations on the first bass, it won’t be your last 👍. I love it how you leave your campsite. Thanks for sharing another great video. Cheers Shad 😎

You beauty! Great first Bass.

Gotta love catch and release. should be a mantra, fishing is a fun SPORT, leave the fish for the next generation of sport anglers. Good on you!

good fishing!! thank you, as always, for sharing your magical land...

Fantastic as always Scotty!! Great Bass. You have an amazing ability to treat us viewers to beautiful scenery as well as practical advice in relation to camping/hiking/and now, fishing!!. Well done. Life can be stressful but you are able to put things into perspective. Well done for sharing your chopping board "fail" last episode. Just lets us all know that we should not sweat the small stuff. I find your videos amazing in that I can vicariously live through your adventures. My wife and I have two young boys and look forward to taking them camping soon (your last few words in this video only inspired us to do this sooner). As a Clinical Psychologist, I am always thinking of ways to reduced stress in my client's lives and recommended many (and will continue to do so) to subscribe to your videos. Thanks again and if you can, it would be great to see you shoot an episode in Victoria!!

What a awesome vid thank you legend

Well done on the fish mate. You will find that when paddling in valley rivers like that, the wind will swirl around a lot. Once you get round a corner, it's in your face again etc. Wind is the enemy of canoeing, but really you can only 'kind of' pick the right direction to paddle. Places like Shoalhaven Gorge and Berowra are especially bad landscapes for this effect. Onya for another good trip vid,

I'm so excited you got a fish! I thought I was going to have to make a paddle down under to help you out. Time and patience is what it takes. Great videos. Love your cinematography.

Finally. Congratulations mate. I almost screamed.

Looks like a perfect spot, certainly worth revisiting as the weather warms up. Congratulations on the the fishing success!

Great success on the fish mate. Beauty shots as we come to expect, thanks so much Scotty! Glad to see you wearing a vest as well - a la Doug!

Awesome videos! Looks amazing ! I’ve been wanting to visit Australia since I was young! You do an amazing job on your videos also! Keep them coming!

that was awesome man !!! well done and congrats on your first Bass !!

a solid bass mate well done. Open the bail on your reel to get some slack line though (once you've got the fish on board of course ha!) otherwise you'll snap the tip off your rod bending it like that, I cringe whenever I see people do that. Another top vid thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

Its so CRAZY, camp sites in my area, people will travel miles to get there and then SET UP CAMP next TO EACH OTHER ????????? Sheeple ???? Im always hiding aS FAR AWAY AS I CAN !!! happy dAYS111 great video Scotty, THANKYOU!!!

What a beautiful area. Great drone work!

Nice work scotty awesome stuff mate Fish on🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣 🤙🤙🤙🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Heaven. Annoying when folk pitch so close, & then noisy. Great LNT approach.

Finally a good size fish, nice one Scotty.

Great work Scotty. Next one up, a bass on fly!

What a way to get you hooked on Bass fishing! Well done mate!! You mentioned casting accuracy. Try a baitcaster style reel for better accuracy over short distances. Also, look into weedless rigged soft plastics as you can chuck them around with a bit less worry. Keep your rod tip down when working your lure for more control. It also gives you more room to strike up. When you get it to the boat keep a rod length of line out and hold your rod tip up high to bring it alongside the canoe. That gives you more line to grab and less chance of snapping your rod tip! A fine mesh net would be ideal but it means more to carry. Oh and lastly, keep your finger tips hidden under the belly and hold them out towards the camera for better photos 😄

If your bass are like the ones here in the States ,you were doing the right thing by fishing around the trees. That one was a beauty.

Nice vid Scotty! as always! and CONGRATS!! on your fish mate!! ABOUT TIME! hahahaha. Ok... so now ya caught a couple , i think its time for a catch and cook? I love your canoe trips as i have a couple myself (Canoes). Keep this content coming!😀🎣🛶

Well done Scotty 👍🚣‍♀️

Great news! You caught some fishies!

Nice fish!

Nice Bass mate!! The froth was definitely real haha 👍👍 great video as always

Surf and turf would have been nice m8. Congrats of the fish, bloody lovely -)

Scotty you should have mounted that bass and put it in the pool room.

Loverly spot, great fish

Congrats on the fish, Scotty!

Thank God the drought is over congrats mate that first fish was a beauty. Your a legend keep doing what your doing mate 🍻

Nice!!

Another cracking video Scotty! Good work on the fishing. Reckon the next mission to save your plate should be carving a spatula...how about it?

Congratulations on the fish mate the first one was a nice size, maybe get yourself some lipgrips to handle the fish easier when you bellie lift them into the canoe 👍 Cheers Daryl

He's done it. And it was a decent size too.

Well-earnt!

i've just recently found you, your vids are great keep up the good work. One thing when you're fishing try not to leave the line so taught (especially in a canoe) it can easily rip through a fishes mouth and cause you some serious problems. just lower the tension on the back of the reel so you can easily pull the line out and make it safer to handle.

Nice catch Scotty. Is it still 35cm or has the story got it to 50cm yet? You do know they get bigger as the years pass by. Good vid mate, love the music in your vids.

Well done on that first bass, and the second as well (which looked much more like a small bass than a perch to me) - all the perch I know have vertical stripes on their sides, although I can't say for sure as around the world, some things are called the same but are different, and others are called something different but are the same!

Who? Put a thumbs down on this. Show yourselves! Congrats. I enjoyed.

Ha ha about time you caught a fish. great videos

Nice one mate! Great to see the fishing drought finally break and with a decent Bass too! I managed to dunk my GoPro with the mic plugged in on the weekend, about as successful as my fishing has been this year!

No way. A successful fishing attempt?

I NEVER throw the first keeper size back. I have been fishing when I caught a keeper, put it back and never got another keeper. Also been times where I caught one keeper, put it back and Never got another bite.

Hi there, really liked this video. awesome views too ^_^ Just out of wonder what sort of editing software you use ? have a good day.

Hey Scott! I'm your age and live on Sydney's North Shore. I've been getting my own kit together and want to go on my first solo camping trip (just for a couple of days). Can you please suggest a great place that's not too far away, allows you to cut wood and make your own fire and has some nice scenery? I want to stay away from heaps of people and feel like I'm off the grid. I know I'm not asking for much. Hehehe Thanks in advance and I love the videos!

nice trip Scotty. Have the wild fires caused much damage to the places you go to?

You should name your channel to burning food with Scotty 😂

Every new video levels up. Your video contents among few is my benchmark to achieve. You have beautiful wilderness in your country. I do not know fishing but I am hoping to do camping like you and chris bamman or able to do some tiny part of what you do. Was that Tofu or Paneer that used in mushroom dish?

Nice Bass mate!!!

get yourself a net mate. u don't want to lose a big bass with your lure still in it's mouth. lol.

Hello Scotty your video's are brilliant.How do you not get attacked by snakes and alligator's out there

Congrats mate 👍 Really chuffed for ya! That was a decent size bass too! Location, video quality etc was class A. Best video yet. Love seeing the canoe buddy, need more of it RU-vid ay 👍 Can I ask what camera and drone you’re using? Very curious. Ta mate, look forward to your next one ✌️🇦🇺

G'day Scotty. Love your channel and videos! The only thing that would make them better is if you could level the volume between music and talking ... the music is WAY too loud and my partner yells at me to turn it down during your cinematic sections, so I turn it down, and then I miss your first few words when you start chatting. 🛶

Another great vid... keep em coming mate. Shame those campers set up so close to you!!

G-Day Scotty Love your video's. I watch them over & over. Just wondering about your cooler bag... What brand is it and where can you get it? I like the look of it. Cheers! Hopefully I will catch you out there some day.

Scotty, love your vids...keep them coming! What hat are you wearing? thanks

Scotty where are you? Really worried.

It's awesome to see how early in the video your working the lure was somewhat stiff but after getting those 2 fish and what I bet was a lot of practice towards the end 51:24 your technique looks much more refined and finess, glad to see your improvement!

Grouse bass mate!

Anyone know what lake this is?

What river was this one on mate?
