Escaping The Saltwater - SOLO Boat & Truck CAMPING 

Not into fishing, not into boating, but Rod makes this channel a mandatory watch for me. He brings them together and MAKES them interesting. Sutch a likeable bloke too.

Thank you for explaining the fish finder I’ve never understood what the hell im looking out until this video 😂 you made it so easy to understand lol

Really interesting to see some freshwater exploration. More would be good.

Have you seen the movie, "THE FOG"? All I will say is if inatimate objects start moving around...HEAD HOME!! 😂Great video as always my friend XOXO

I love bass fishing in America!it’s so cool seeing an Australia bass!they were tanks too!more fresh water vids rod!

Man those boats are epic!!!👍✌️

Its been years since I caught a bass but they are good fun when they are biting. This was a great series of vids, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Nice bass mate. Appreciate your work and remember - bigger isn't always better!

Epic dew! Thanks for the rad vids and all the effort and time you put into these vids. All the driving, boating, editing and time away from family and Rokkit Kat Ray is full on. Ignore the entitled whiners😊❤

Love the freshwater stuff mate! When you're chasing barra in those skinny stretches, try trolling squirrels or deeper lures up and down the middle. Often find them holding in the middle or moving up and down the river.

Love your videos Rod!!!! You are so lucky to have such a beautiful environment to enjoy and ocean and rivers to fish!!!

Beautiful spot! Love the change of pace in the fresh and all the birds and trees! Great bass!!!!

I live in the states, don't fish, don't own a boat, don't camp and spend most of my time inside. However, I'm addicted to this channel

❤ how you said..... "NOT the best weather", whilst *tying a knot on your line* 😉 I picked up on it and I hope others did too 😊

I am enjoying your videos. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into making this videos. Stay safe

ive gotta be honest, i prefer the rivers here. i grew up closer to one than the ocean. so peaceful and quiet.

All the fun, camping and fishing, and looking at boats. Oh, just did a search and see we DO have Stabicraft made in Washington state now up North. Thanks for never being click-baity, and titling your video, "Went camping and cops show up!" lol. Cheers!

Rod, that Bass! Trophy fish many would yearn to land. What a top spot🏆 Great episode

Couldn’t wait to put on the tv this morning🤩 Always epic!

I/m parked at 13:41 and i'm fizzin :) c'mon barra .... Good Luck my Bro ~~~~~~ !!!

We got a fresh water reservoir / lake down the street from our house. On the way back from fishing in the gulf like to set the boat in there an run the pumps.

Cool video, looks like some bigger waves out there 😊

I could almost feel that sunrise!

I'm watching from the UK ,just found your channel, dude your living the dream

I have been living in camper van, (pop up caravan)half canvas, like any enclosed area you get condensation, this is most likely what you woke up to, it's caused by the inside area being warmer than the outside area, however in your case I would suspect the water being warmer given the fog like atmosphere. There are several ways to rectify this but there are also other causes than mentioned. But for this case I would try fitting another tarp (same as what you have used)or cheaper over the top of your existing setup but with a gap between the two, what this does is create a thermal barrier between the cold ontop and the warm underneath. Also the gap under you current tarp could have allowed the mist/fog to simply enter you sleeping area, still similar concept though warm water cold air creates fog, hope this helps 👍

So relaxing to see this , congrats 😅

Mate. Get a decent synthetic sleeping bag then cover it with a breathable bivi bag. Then you have options. Snugpak makes some good and compact stuff.

Hey, rod head to the dam that system connects to good camping, and that's we're the barra are if you happen to go give me a shout I will come for the trip I know that area 😉

Grat video - as usual. Looking forward to my 1550 Frontier in October. Hoping you pulled that jockey wheel up - I leanred that the hard way.

Good looking size bass you caught.

yeah no yeah 😂😂😂 thought only us in socal who said that

Great vid mate! The sounds, ambiance, and fresh water scenery were a lot of fun to get a glimpse into. A couple good looking bass as well! All this vid says to me is that there is a fresh, unchecked box on the bottom of the to do list; would love to see ya go back sometime! maybe in bass season, or if there is a time when both are legal. Anyways, tyvm as always, always an adventure! 🤙🏾

Come for a drive to the Kimberley, WA and we'll put you on some barra, Rokkit.

Your boat is awesome. If I ever get a Stabi I'm taking ideas from yours.

Amazing how wet the bottom side of tarp was. cheers

Those are my favorite noodles lol Love mixing Kim-chi in them.

barra loves acrobatic jumping to release the hook... haha beware.. so smart..

What a dream to see all this!!!!!!

Hey rod absolutely love your videos mate I look forward to watching many more to come , if you don’t mind me asking where was that fresh water creek as I wouldn’t mind going for a look cheers mate

back in the day i will always remember that even on a short lil fishing trip i would always carry at least 5 litres of spare fuel (premixed to needed ratio)

Please bring us back some kayak fishing, i use to enjoy that setup. See ya soon!

He's back 🤙🤙🤙

Nice!

Glad you escaped the zombies, and got some good fishing in

I have never caught one fish in the river, and I’ve finished it for 15 years

i should also mention i carried a tool kit in the boat that contained a spare prop (the old one, might be a lil buggered but hey makes a good spare to get you out of trouble), split pin for the prop, spare spark plug, and a basic tool kit that could do those two jobs n then some possibly

When is the sea ever flat it's so annoying. Love your vids keep it up. Would love to tailer my videos similar one day here in the UK

❤love the vid

That “bizarre” dew is quite common in Eastern North Carolina in the summertime. You should have seen my yak trip yesterday! Glad I don’t film, THAT was a comedy of errors to say the least. Wind came up and caught a chop side to and broadside wind PROFISHA almost sent me for a swim in bull shark central, a lot of other mistake but ill stop wenching on….at what point are you near freshwater that has big man eating lizards?? Cheers man, top shelf vids always

Been live bait trolling for Spanish, holding the line with fingers while having the reel in freespool and been snipped off without feeling a thing.

I really want a stabicraft. PVC in the rod holders would make a great frame for canopy and tent.

Love this. I follow a few Aussie fishermen and they always catch the same fish. It's refreshing to see you breaking the mould. More of this, please.

The only sure fire way I know to catch a big fish is to not have your jet ready. 🙂

Hell yea!

Thanks Rokkit... Hey just a suggestion, you ever thought about scotchgaurding your sleeping bag?? Keep it alittle more water proof then.. Good call on leaving the creek... really enjoyed this series.. good to have someone putting in effort in longer episodes. Thanks heaps for sharing..

Great stuff (as usual). Do you have a problem with fuel vapour leeching through the plastic tanks? Breathers are closed when not running, however I have a problem with this when sleeping on the boat.. Even the 5L spare fuel tank does this. Will replace with stainless tanks at some stage.

Mate be super careful fishing that creek! The local youth in that area are super sketchy. I had my ute broken into and a brand new dometic fridge stolen while chasing Barra there during the day. Also if you do fish there again try a lot further up the creek to where it spills over some good Barra sit up there

There was a long wait for delivery of any new Stabicraft during and after the covid lockdowns, things look to be getting back to normal.

The sea fog has been so thick lately. Nice job in navigation at low tide can be tricky sometimes even in the fishing ski I find. I love how you specialise in the small crafts U make it look so easy👌 The time away must be tireing. And are you thinkn of going bigger in the stabi craft? Choppy weather is hard to deal with some days😂 "comedy of errors" your so funny rod. I recon foxes one was bigger👌beautiful bass🎉 Next time just say ya targeting bass and ya might get a barra🫡

Love ya vids Rod Get a swag

i think you need a waterproof bivi bag ...love the channel

The dogs!!!!

great vid, but may I suggest a polarizing lens that can see under the water better, we couldn't see the flat heads at the start of your vid... love your work bro, thanks for the video.

That's why u need a full on ⛺ tent inside your boat bro that way u don't wake up all soaked what a recipe for getting sick

I wish we have those stabicraft in the states. I love them.

Dude whhgat the hell bro lol. Stay in the salt. Less weird.i fell asleep before seeing the ending. Often times the best spots are dodgy in new orleans marshes too.

Great vid as always, it would be cool to see some more fresh water stuff in future. Is it safe to dive in these rivers or is there things in there that want to eat you?

If you are getting rid of your boat I want it!!! I truly love your boat!!!

😊hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦🤳🤳🌊💦💦🏞😊

Yeah Rod the 1550 when you hit 1 million subs. Wooo!

Hmmm pie oven 😋 im hungry now 😂

Mate you need go to a vanas place there can make a tent setup what will fully in close your boat ,,,with water proof cavas ,,,

Plenty of good spannies have been caught there atm mate, spewing it took your lure

Just get a really basic flat swag with a snugpak blanket or similar inside?

Haha I live like 2 mins from north side marine

I seen u spear fishing at the tennis court on Straddie

Cool as he'll but man I still love the salt....

Great Video Rod - can you tell me what brand your landing net is. I like how it folds up - great for my tinny.

I'd love to see you fish monduran. Only because it's local to me lol.

Enjoyed the fresh water, those bass were huge! How many kg? Any chance of a barramundi mission? You must have been a long way up. Always quality content.

Try to get a bivvy bag for the sleeping bag, will be dry and warm. Good vid. Did you leave your jockey wheel down at the very end?

Watching this episode the thought of a collaboration with Chris Bammam came to mind?

So Rod any chance you will be doing anymore sailing videos? Miss seeing you on Misty with the family. I know I sound like a broken record. Wasn't sure if you still had her or not. I'm not sure if you're able to see my comments or not. Like to see more freshwater videos if that's possible. Have a blessed day sir and looking forward to the next video.

Mate!!! That freshwater fishing wouldn’t happen to be out near Howard, QLD would it!?

Seeing those gas tanks on your boat.. have you ever thought about doing something with solar panels and/or batteries? Would be so awesome!

Gidday Rod, those bass looked like nuggets, very healthy how long do you think they were did you measure them? Good to see you in the fresh it's very peaceful.

I'm about to head into semi retirement and wouldn't mind giving a kayak a go just wondering are the stealth kayaks any good for beginners? Going to be spending a fair bit of time at golden beach within walking distance of the passage and the new bar crossing. Anyway though I'd reach out cheers. Love watching the videos ciao.

What’s with the dogs at the boat dealership?? They were going nuts !!

Hello my bro...luv ur stuff its humble honest and real..one day I must say Rocs..wen u dropped ur boat off for its service and as we followed u on the boat tours I felt sumthing that my gut is feeling I think its deep within you too...I wont mention it bru but I believe you'll accomplish not just ur goal but ur wish as well❤❤❤God Bless STAY BLESSED BRO❤

Awesome video as always! I had never seen an Australian Bass before. Looks almost striperlike. Pretty fish! Hey... quick question: Do you have to worry about crocs in your part of the continent?

Yeah...

"wet breeze" = rain

you need to learn a bait caster for that flicking of snags. much easier.

bivy sack!

hey mate is that tidal.? if not you can fish for bass in non tidal waters closed season dosnt count for non tidal waters

Just a quick question, what’s the liquid solution you keep your plastic baits in? Thanks. By the way, nice bass!

Is a live kayak video coming soon? Those seem to be the fave of some of us. Get to chat with you and others that sub to your channel. Thanks for posting another fun video Rod. ~Cheers

It would be good if you told us your location so we can find them

Get a wax coated canvas.
