what's going on everyone welcome back to the channel today is friday and it's the hottest
day of the year i'm meeting up with sam from wet mammal and we're going out for a two to three day
adventure slash expedition out on the boat you know catching and cooking everything that we
can come across for those who don't know sam is a really good content creator both on instagram
and on youtube and i'll leave the links to all of his stuff down below in the description now
i'm packing up all of my spear fishing gear as well as more my cooking gear and camping gear
so i've got a lot of packing to do i'm meeting up with sam at half 10 the pontoon and newton feras
and then we're going to shoot straight out to our first mark and hopefully catch some nice fish
so just pulled off at the eddystone or about 500 meters off it and we've come across a part of our
part of pilot whales so i take back what i just said it turns out they're a little bit different
from what we initially thought they were obviously i just said pilot whales but it turns out they're
riso dolphins and in actual fact they're quite rare to see down here on the south coast
and the majority of sightings of these dolphins occur on the west coast of scotland
and outer hebrides his apparent preference for the outer hebrides is likely due to the abundance
of prey and closeness to the continental shelf sam's literally just got his drone
up and you can't see it from the boat but if you look at the controller 10 seconds come on
you can see him there
you know what i'm going to say i've been feeling this way for far too long
and now you're gone
my fears
kept me away from my tears
right we've just pulled up at the eddystone um having stopped off to see some
pilot whales which sam managed to film on camera um for those who don't know this is sam
wet mammal as everyone knows him we've just anchored up on the reef and sam's literally
just looked over the side and seen two bass so there are some fish around today which is cool
getting kitted up and then we're going to jump in
i would just like to start off by saying that diving out here is very dangerous and should
only be done if you're accompanied by someone with a good amount of experience and knowledge
of the local area tides are extremely powerful out here and there's lots of deep drop-offs but
please please be careful if you ever venture out here it's genuinely a different ballgame
not only that when you're this far out to see weather and conditions can change in an instance
and if you're caught out or under prepared you can find yourself in a sticky situation very quickly
so
as you can see from that clip i was quite indecisive on what fish to shoot and it
actually resulted in me not shooting a fish on this dive with sam's video which is the
next clip he had the same sort of thing bumped into the shoal initially and then obviously was
waiting out for a bigger fish before he took his first shot unfortunately my gopro froze or died
and i didn't actually capture the the footage of me shooting one
but here's a little clip from sam's gopro and his point of view
uh
a couple of nice bass and our bag limit reach we decided to pack our kit up and head back to shore
absolutely stoked two lovely bass and this is probably perfectly in size bass
to be honest absolutely delicious
we finally made it back after a 2 hour and 40 minute tow back from the eddy stone
we dropped the blokes off in plymouth and we've come back around to sellers beach
sam's just sorting the fish out for dinner sun's going down um we're planning to have what curry
yeah curry bass and uh watch the sunset go down sounds probably gonna get the
drone up later and then we'll uh have a few beers and enjoy our food we got the sizzle
tree so what have we got we've got some kind of masala with moroccan beans and then bass oh and
we've got that red rocket red rocket by ocean ledge ocean lake motion ledge ocean ledge yes
well i'm pretty impressed with this a little bit
awesome yeah the moon was literally like that like two nights ago
we finished up our food had a few more drinks and then we got our
heads down for a few hours before getting up nice and early to start the second day
hmm i was asleep out like a light snoring i think i disturbed your sleep a little bit
it was good nice nice glass off this morning as well
but nothing ever stopped me from dusting off my shoes
with some nice fish caught yesterday day two was all about finding some nice lobsters to
take home to cook up within a few dives we managed to locate this nice gully which held so much life
there were one or two lobsters in the gully but both of them were put back as they were too small
there were a couple of brown crabs as well sam took one out for for us to
have a look on camera there were some squat lobsters right at the back of their holes
but unfortunately we couldn't film them because they were too far back and uh
sam actually managed to pull out a brill with his bare hands um but again this was released
we pushed out a little deeper and found another ledge which actually held four lobsters in the
space of about two meters there was one big one at the very back but as always they're
tucked in in a very awkward position the older they get because they they get a bit more wise
we worked as a pair to get the lobster out as they tend to move whole once they've been disturbed we
had one on the surface and the other below having the scrap of the lobster we alternated between
this until we managed to get the lobster out and then sam eventually managed to win the fight and
came up with lobster so it was up to me to find another one and i did exactly that
woof
yes
hello
big little update me and sam come back in out the wind now from where we were catching the
lobsters so i've got a really nice size one and i managed to get one right at the end
uh we've come back in now so i'm just put on some uh vegetable curry and something i can't pronounce
nice and good got it on the jet ball so it's nice and warm that's the scale size against my hand
love your work man good job boy sick
just a little update then so me and sam uh ditched the boat because the wind turned
really bad i think it was up to like 18 19 mile an hour and we're quite exposed on the coast so
we came back into the estuary um we did hope to go up kittley which is near newton ferris
and then up up to the end and stay the night up there but again the wind was just coming straight
through the um the asterisk we've come to the opposite side of mother can beach up the estuary
and we're just literally on the on the beach now we're basically just gonna chuck the grill on here
put our timber beneath set light to it get it going so it's nice and hot
and then we'll lay our lobster and our fish across it and we're gonna have a lovely meal
sam's just finished prepping the fish we have a lovely bass specimen and we're going
to wait for the flame to cool down a little bit and then we're just going to chuck this
puppy on and get him looking nice and nice and crispy poor camera skills on my behalf
i forgot to turn the microphone on the camera but what i'm putting on here is the salty sea
dog from the ocean ledge range and we're putting it inside the fish so it can soak into the meat
almost forgotten me the most important important part nice chunk of butter to go inside
just gonna put the lobster on the fire but beforehand obviously we're gonna
dispatch the uh the lobster and just on this cross i've explained it in previous videos
it's the best way to put the knife you just put it down through the top
and just drive it forward and that will be enough to kill the lobster
hmm say every time literally can't be special officer like that straight out of the ocean
sam's just cracked open the tail of the lobster i've just had the claws each and
now we're on to the the tail part which is my favorite part personally so here we go
just [ __ ] bit me again
like i said earlier because there's no seizing on it and you've just literally got the
actual lobster tail itself without anything else tastes amazing really good
right fish is done scales have done their job and it's actually the first time i've used or
kept the scales on the fish and sam recommended it as it doesn't burn the flesh the scales are quite
quite hard quite durable and you can see there that all the scales are burnt on the outside
on the inside flesh is completely intact which is exactly what you want and that bass looks amazing
