TROPICAL ISLAND FISHING | Exploring from a TINY BOAT

In this episode I fish and explore a North Queensland tropical island paradise! I jig for live bait before catching the highly prized Coral Trout, Mackerel and more. I enter the water for a snorkel and get greeted by a large Cod. It is exciting to swim with such an abundance of marine life. I hope you enjoy the natural beauty of this spectacular island as much as I do! Thanks for watching!

    The waters around the Island just look amazing. The way the light lickers through underwater is mesmerizing. (I did find myself holding my breath.) It is astounding that the fish don't even seem to care that you are there. Thanks for the great video. I will be waiting to see what you get up to next and if the fish aren't biting, there is always plan B.

    Another great video, good to see so much fish life on the fringing coral, I reckon those 2 trout you followed underwater knew they were in the green zone. We live in a special part of the world to be able to head close offshore and be a chance of catching quality fish. Thanks for sharing, lunch or a coffee at that hotel is a highlight of any trips around the island definitely a good plan B.
