What are we up to in 2025? It's the start of a new year and this post will be a good one to look back on for us at the end of this year because to put it plainly, we don't have much penciled and locked in as yet for 2025! Still not too sure if that's a good thing or not, we have parts of the year pl...

How's everyone's weekend going? Any adventures or mischief happening out there? 🙌🙋‍♂️

Our good mate Mr Wayno popped out to grab a feed yesterday before the demersal ban kicked in for a couple of months in Southwest of W.A. Picked up a lovely Baldchin Grouper using one of our Demersal Slaya Rigs! A lovely feed and solid slayin there Wayne 🐟🤺👌

Happy Australia 🇦🇺 Day Team!! Who's up to Mischief this weekend??
Talking about Mischief, we headed out to my sisters place last night to hunt down their chook killer...Jo has been baiting the Fox over the past few days to bring it in close to the house.
Anyway first kill on the new (2nd hand) thermal on my trusty CZ .22

Hey there Team! 2024 has been just an epic year for us not just through our Adventures but also as a small YouTube Channel. It still blows my mind to think people tune in to seeing what we have been up to, comment on our videos and we even cross paths with a few crew along the way!
Was a great confidence boost to hit over 5,000 subs recently and make a bit of revenue from Youtube which isn't much but gets invested back into our channel for better camera gear, Starlink and a bag of snakes here n there 😉!
Through having our channel we also have a small Patreon Gang which also grew to over 30 Patreons! We use this money for Pink Ribbon Fishin Charity and over the last 3 years, together as a Team we have raised nearly $20,000 for the McGrath Foundation. Absolute Legends!
Anyway Have a bloody epic New Year everyone!

Much Love to you all and thanks so much for the ongoing support, cheers to 2024! 🍻

Got into a few Western Reds off the south coast. Bigger tides made it a bit murky but we still managed 14 with a coupla big fellas. Was good to see lots of females with eggs around and was good we didn't bump into any big sharks! 😳😆

Cheers Wayne & Kenny 🦐🤺

A bit of a lastest yarn about towing, we see these issues all the time. Some crew know, some don't and others just don't care.
Anyway this is my 5 cents worth...

Safe travels over the holiday madness Team, may your adventures be epic and the times be good!

Merry Christmas to ya'll 🎄🍻👍

Much Love, Team Jelly

Whether you're a novice at trekking or you've lapped Oz a dozen times, the conversation of vehicle/caravan weights will be mentioned more than once in your journey. The conversation seems to get flogged to death, but I feel it's always for good reasons as a lot of people are out there towing crazy w...
