23.01.2022 Wild Ways, the next Barramundi Masterclass. Gladstone, 9th & 10th November https://www.wildadventuresjm.com.au//saltwater-barramundi/

21.01.2022 Wild stories continue... around 1999. A gusty Southeast wind was pushing air up the dam wall and into the nose of my only hunting dog, Drapess. We'd walked abou...t 10km to get here and sat patiently side by side as a wild pack of two. He had dog skills. I had bloke skills. Mixed together we thought we were pretty cool treking hours through the dead of night catching large pigs. Anyway, time ticked and nothing came in so we quietly walked down the side wall and straight into a head-on with an evil boar. The punch from this pig was monumental and for some reason I was taking photos instead of helping. The explosive power was next level and Drapess was in trouble, his front feet off the ground connected to a 125kg+ boar. I joined in, we ended the fight and right there two bodies lay motionless in the settling dust. I'd made a big mistake. About a minute passed and Drapess was gone..... killed by a large boar...........then like cracking a joke he hopped back up on his feet wagging his tail. As if that wasn't enough, the night was only young. We sat together for a short while before making the decision to carry him. Off I went, a 35kg dog in the arms, his chest plate on the shoulder and 10km from camp. After numerous breathers and a few kilometres done he seemed happy to walk. We walked near side by side when disaster struck. Another 100kg+ boar appeared, we had walked straight onto him, just four or five metres ahead. Drapess being a hard arse gave no fux and hit up only to be thrown immediately. The boar bolted just few metres, stopped, turned and coiled like a spring to nail Drapess like Tyson. He lugged and by now I was in there to help and put this big boar on deck only for him to stand straight back up with my full body weight on him. This happened twice and next time it stayed down and the dog got away without a touch. Fast forward some hours, carried Drapess some more, lead him on a rope and made it back to camp. Here's where the story really starts lol. The mozzies were bad so I lit a small fire in the salt couch grass to let it burn to a metre diameter before stomping it out to place a small fire in the centre. Well life is twisty hey and we learn some big lessons. That fire took off like a bullet in the 20 knot winds. ... It was a losing situatuon and within a minute or two was now burning a narrow bush peninsula and 6ft up paperback trees. The fire was about to take over and burn a giant island. I'm not one to sit back but man was there trouble brewing. There was just one chance at winning this battle and that is all it was. The tides had been massive and about 10m away across a soft sticky mudflat was a very shallow puddle of saltwater, maybe 20mm deep. I grabbed the dog bucket, skimmed the water and ended up with about three cups full, approached the flames and ditched the water across it and to my surprise it put out a snippet of fire. Now imagine this, one bucket, three cup fulls at a time, 20m return laps for water, a strong wind, a fire burning two metres up trees and covering about 15m in length, and a NEVER GIVE UP attitude. When flames were extinguished some came back near on instantly. Two steps forward, one step back. As dawn skies emerged my exhaustion grew but hope had now changed to being in control. The next battle was the mental one. Give in to pain and weakness or push through to win. Just writing this brings back the emotion from that night. A near dead dog, a long slog carrying a 35kg mate, wrestling another 100kg boar, then sheer exhaustion after more than an hour putting out an advancing fire with an attitude that wouldnt take no for an answer. Those trees still bare fire scars from 20 years ago, Drapess has since long passed, and I learnt so much about life in just one night! And honestly what better way to learn than by fukkking up. #wildways

20.01.2022 One keen adventurer is going to win this deadly prize, click through to find out how to enter. I love these types of adventure trips, clients climb out of helicopters like life has just begun.

20.01.2022 A quick video screen grab from a school of 300+ chunky, wild saltwater barra. The barra masterclass seminar teaches anglers to put down their rods, slow down, o...bserve and become a part of incredible cycles. I call it teaching people to 'see'. Once they see these things they can never be 'unseen', and a whole new life story on fishing begins. Masterclass students lay low but their results appear weekly and on a high level of achievement. Our next barra seminar is in Gladstone, in September. Another for Darwin, in October. https://www.wildadventuresjm.com.au//saltwater-barramundi/ See more

19.01.2022 These things are dead-set popular, will continue to express post orders until new year. Johnny Mitchell https://www.wildadventuresjm.com.au/

18.01.2022 A brand new seminar title added to the barramundi growth path. 'Reading Water' is a skill, and every angler can benefit. This time we explore freshwater lakes and share the magic on reading the waterway, by eye, no sonar, directing anglers to barramundi feed zones.... Click on the link if keen to book a seat.

18.01.2022 The comprehensive online sonar training package is becoming quite a powerhouse tool for fisherman. Prime feedback weekly, anglers acknowledging the gaps and missing links in their past learning, many realising just how important sonar knowledge really is and the significant role it plays on the water. https://www.wildadventuresjm.com.au///online-sonar-course/

18.01.2022 Will be sharing a few cool stories on the Wild Adventures page over the next two weeks.

15.01.2022 Approx two to two-and-a-half year old mudcrabs. Both completed a shell change (molt) likely during November and early December. Shell changes allow growth, the ...new shell starts soft like rubber and needs to harden, otherwise the crab is vulnerable to predation. 'C Grade' crabs are very soft, having only recently molted. The crab on the left has since hardened to now be classed as an 'A Grade' crab. The crab on the right is in between, still partially soft shelled, classed as a 'B Grade' crab. Some crabs harden faster than others based on diet and food intake. 'A Grade' crabs typically have well formed muscle fibres and well suited for eating. 'B Grade' crab muscles are still expanding. More food and time is required to fill the new shell space, yet still edible and consumed by the gazillion. . #mudcrabs #wildways

10.01.2022 Sign up to the WILD ADVENTURES website to stay up to date, we have some new content not too far away. Here's the latest news article on Precision Fishing/Sonar.

10.01.2022 SONAR COURSE UPDATE This sonar content is helping a lot of anglers better understand the capabilities of their units. The feedback from many subscribers highlights they weren't even set up correctly from the start which near on stops any fish finding ability. Clients, even tournament anglers, also openly admit they have been driving past fish and not recognising their presence on muddy, but especially rocky bottoms. I was impressed with a client after doing the course with h...is new abilities to point out hard to spot fish while on charter. Significant fish catches hinge heavily off sonar use and image interpretation. It's critical. Anglers are spending $2k to $4k on a modern unit, the sonar course fills the gaps and helps teach fisherman how to see. There's nothing worse than losing the advantage and driving away from big fish the untrained eye overlooks. If an angler never learns the skills they'll never know what they miss. https://www.wildadventuresjm.com.au///online-sonar-course/ See more

05.01.2022 Passion and drive push people to chase dreams and succeed. My saltwater barramundi training programme is showing its value through anglers from NT waters, Weipa and the rest of the Queensland coast. The average size of the wild barramundi pictured, caught through the masterclass system average 124cm. www.fishingmasterclass.com.au Our charters have been producing great results with some amazing sessions and catches recently, some trips just a blur of action with guys having difficulty putting the experience into words. We have an exciting business development happening in back play, there's plenty going on behind the scenes. More will unfold as time rolls on. Johnny Mitchell

05.01.2022 Eliminating blind spots and side-stepping fixed vessel obstructions can be done by using two side-imaging transducers, plus overall benefits include sharper ima...ges, better transducer positioning and the advantage of having a spare transducer in the event of breakage. Having a second is a great backup when on long-range remote adventures, miles from civilisation. See more
