Pure Joy! 🤩🎣 Oysters for brekky and Barra fishing! For those who know, there's nothing quite like the thrill of a Barramundi fight, is there?! That bend in the rod, the powerful runs and the way they jump in the hope of spitting out that lure – it just fills me with pure excitement! haha! And then, first thing in the morning, breaking my fast with fresh-shucked oysters right off the rocks... absolute paradise for me. All in the Kimberley, Western Australia ✨

These moments are what we live for out here in the remote Kimberley. But getting to experience them isn't always glamorous (in fact it's the opposite, haha!) and it certainly takes some practical know-how!

Want to know our go-to lures for Barramundi in these remote spots? Drop your favorites below – we're always keen to learn new tricks!

And for fellow oyster lovers, here's a little secret from the field: forget fancy shucking knives. A good flat-head screwdriver, a small hammer (for tricky ones!), and even a sturdy butter knife can be your best friends for opening those delicious shells safely and efficiently! Got any other unconventional shucking tools you swear by? Share your wisdom! 👇

We've got all these moments and more (plus the real behind-the-scenes reality of getting here!) in our latest episode on YouTube. I'll post the link in the comments or if the admins allow it, I'll share it here --> https://youtu.be/Wd8qrY1T4pw?si=DKFe0VYOd0HxkNXh

Here's the RAW and REAL Story. 🤯🛥️

You might think it’s all about the beers over seafood 🍻 – the fresh oysters shucked straight off the rocks 🦪, the mud crabs we pull from our nets 🦀, and the incredible fish we catch 🎣. And you'd be right, there's plenty of that! But in this episode, we’re showing you what truly made us feel every cell in our body: the unfiltered reality that no one fully prepares you for. It's about keeping calm 🧘‍♀️, staying collected 😎, and finding the humor 😂 in absolutely everything that goes right, and especially when things go wrong! Enjoy it here now!

In this episode, you'll discover:

* Life in Paradise (The Real Version!): Experience what it's truly like to live off-grid in one of the most beautiful and remote places on Earth, where every day is an adventure. 🌅

* The Ultimate Seafood Feast: Watch us gather our own incredible meals – from shucking fresh oysters right off the rocks to catching massive mud crabs and reeling in stunning fish. This is as fresh as it gets! 🐟

* Navigating the Unpredictable: We share the moments where our best-laid plans meet the raw reality of the Kimberley. Learn how we stay cool when challenges arise and why laughter is our best tool. 🤣

* Beyond the Beauty: While the scenery is stunning, this episode dives into the pure joy and simple pleasures that make all the effort worthwhile. It's about living in the moment and appreciating every single second. 🙏

This episode is packed with inspiration for boat owners 🛥️, caravanners 🚐, and aspiring adventurers 🌍 looking to tackle truly remote expeditions. It's a testament to the dedication required to experience the untouched wonders of the world.

We started another incredible journey today, travelling 150 km offshore to anchor beside a stunning sand cay. Ricky's remarkable catch, a queenfish, put up an awesome fight, and we savour the delight of fresh seafood amongst the hundreds we could have hooked today. Ricky fried the fish in garlic and olive oil whilst a beautiful clam shell that i discovered on the sand cay serves our mayo and sweet chilli sauce dip! Today couldn’t be any better!! Fresh catch beats sausages every time! What are you grateful for today? Share below ⬇️

Everyone talks about it, everyone dreams about it – the untouched, breathtaking beauty of The Kimberley in remote Western Australia. Majestic waterfalls, amazing seafood, ancient Indigenous rock art, pristine beaches all to yourself... it's the ultimate bucket-list destination. But how do you actually make that dream a reality?

In our latest episode, we pull back the curtain and show you the real, raw, and sometimes gruelling behind-the-scenes logistics of preparing for an epic adventure into one of Australia's most remote and beautiful places. This isn't just about packing a bag; or having the latest Minn Kota Terrova (Wire My Boat), it's about meticulous planning, serious muscle, and adapting when things don't go to plan! Join us share and enjoy this episode - it's not for the faint of heart (or wallet), I tell ya! haha!

Sunsets are just the best, aren't they? 🧡 Just WOW. Isn't it incredible how this one universal thing can bring so much peace and beauty into our day, every single day?

Got to enjoy it even more with our awesome new Minn Kota Terrova working its magic, holding us steady over beautiful reefs while other boats passed by. This mean machine is a game-changer for exploring! Wire My Boat installed ours in our 9.5m boat!

Check out Episode 46 in our YouTube videos for this boat modification and more where we feature the most amazing marine life we have been able to discover, all possible with being able to spot lock on top of the most amazing reef!
