Yeah i will be honest that I am less interested at the tic. One of the recent ep's just had him cooking a fish on the beach. Whoop de doo.

And doing stupid shit like riding dirt bikes with no helmet  

I guess he's laughing all the way to the bank and has probably opened up a whole new demographic as my mates kids loves the show, I asked them what's the best parts of YBS you guys like and they both said "we like to see him do stupid stuff". I honestly can not see anyone above the age of 12 who would find the latest content enjoyable to watch.
I cringe when he drives his boat by himself and walks up the front.

Anyone recommend another channel that has really good content ? I like the "back to basics" guys and watched quite a few, the french chick is damn hot. I tried and I mean I really tried to watch Andy's Fishing, just not quite there yet lol.

 Cringe cringe cringe

 Or riding the front of a boat on auto pilot with noone else on board.

 Agree it can be cringe worthy - but at the same time i love the thought that he is exposing a huge audience to the ocean/outdoors etc. His underlying message re: conservation seems to be very basic but one that if the younger generation pick up it can only be positive. 

But that is somewhat offset by diving solo, riding on the front of the boat etc etc

The Missus reckons he needs to take his meds  definitely got a lot cringier of late. 
Dixon brothers fishing is good  

I actually don't mind Andy's fishing & wild cooks too

 I dont want to seem like a tall poppy chopper but everyone ive spoken to says the same thing, just lost the mojo when he went to mass producing every second day.  Hes obviously made a heap of coin and good on him too, not knocking success but finding myself skipping through a lot of the episode as it just doesnt have the same feel as it did in the earlier days. Really hope he gets it back as I feel the same as much of the sentiment above, just seems to have lost the vibe for mine.

 Defiantly are not his best work. But he can do what he wants aslong as people are watching the eps and buying his merch. Dixon brothers can fish but the videos i find cringe worthy.

Gidos landbased is my favourite. I actually get excited when there is new content

 I know we all love the Aussie larrakin, but him especially with such a wide following should be setting the example saftey wise especially on boats, jetskis etc. there are plenty of young blokes  who'll follow that lead and come to grief. We all know only too well the ocean can be unforgiving. He's a good character and fun to watch and especially his ahem scantily clad girlfriends  :P ooo la la and I love his dog. The bloke has a good knoweledge base so it's good he's sharing it. 

Cheers for the recommendations and will look at a few more vids.

I actually really like the bloke, just the cringe worthy factor of screaming and dull content is outweighing for me at the moment, more spear fishing with the odd rear end shot of a few girls and bingo lol.

 Yeah im deff in the Gidos camp , real guy doing real fishing with knowledge and no uuuew uuuew noises and hand signals every fish haha.

 I get a laugh out off Doms fishing adventures haha, you dont get more raw than that!  ( throw the fu@@king anchor in son!) 

 Dixon boys are young , super keen and great fishers but not up themselves , and finally fish eagle ( Eddie is it ?) is very interesting on local stuff.

 Look I dont think im a dinosour , Im 55 but like all music , ride quad bikes and hoon around , have a great rappour with my teengirls and there friends but I still 

 dont get the whole ,,,,, im a blogger thing ,,,,, and agree old mate in above mentioned show seems to appeal to a younger crew. 

 I agree lost some of the appeal for me. I'll through one out there for you try outer line adventures! Fishing north Brisbane.  The red emperor video is incredible, blue bone fishing and mud crabbing. He's just got a underwater drone, footage is awesome .

 Def not the same any more  . Lots of episodes are I find straight out booorrriiinnnggg . Needs to get back to the way it was when he first started

 If your looking  for something different to watch jump on YouTube and watch Black As episodes.  pretty cool and  funny not alot of fishing  bit like that old show that use to be on bush mechanics , worth checking out but 

Go through the comment section on his personal instagram and you cant blame him for targetting that crowd,seems to be paying off for him, at an expense of losing the die hard spearos and fishos.

My favourite Youtuber at the moment is Pelagicpursuit. Quality footage and red hot fishing https://youtu.be/QG7tJf_N738

Cheers Beau, I will have a look.

 Gido is really good and Rokkit Kit? Is usually good to watch too with his island trips. 

These boys produced the best work.

This was my Fav....boat retreival. 

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npla5xYvMV4

I hit unsubscribe about a year ago.

When I started watched him many, many moons ago it was raw and slightly scratchy in the way of content product.
That was more than adequate for my viewing needs. Things got better, in fact stupidly better. The man is very good at editing, yet there's only so many beach cook ups and secret sauce wraps I can handle. Content is a tricky thing to beef up when you're doing the same thing all the time. Let's face it all he's doing is going out on the water for a spear and a fish and spending a day at the beach, for us it seems perfectly normal yet for someone in Holland or Uzbekistan it's a WTF moment. Points to him for showcasing the Nor West Cape and surrounding areas.

Give a man a seemingly endless pot of loot, sponsors and Instagram Hoes and his internal flux gate compass will be lured to not its true initial bearing.  
Interesing to see his normal bunch of mates are not appearing as much as previously, perhaps the free GoPros were not enough payment for Mr Moss' appetite for content?.

As for acting like F@#238t on a dirt bike he will have the honor of filming his date with the Flying Doctor.

Let us prey that his fluffy lil mate Stryda knows how to operate the:

Auto pilot on the boat

How to call sea rescue

How to operate the camera when ( its a given here not if, when. ) his master takes a header over the side whilst in the middle of nowhere.

Perhaps Mercury can come to the party for a man overboard kill switch ?.

He won't be the first man to go overboard whilst boating solo up here and I'd doubt he'd be as lucky as the last man who did. 
Cheers for the other YouTube alternatives gentlemen.

Surprised noone has mentioned "waterboys fish surf spear", now that guy knows his shit.

Very educational and great to watch.

WA bloke

Stumbled across these young blokes a little while ago. Short but pretty cool clips 

Worth a mention too... 

 not a fan of how he treats shimano as a sponsor. The ep where they sent him a whole kit and he just went through it like heres some shiney shit some spinny shit few of these and a few of those. If i was shimano I'd want atleast 5 mins of content showing exactly what they sent rather than another wrap made from what he caught on the gear. Few months back he bagged them out and baught daiwa gear. They still helped him out and he dogged em again. Without his squid jigs and rods and reels 50% of his content is gone. Never bite the hand that feeds you i say. Having said that am i jealous.... hell yes.

Don't forget the bagging out of Ford, sometimes you want to slap some sense into people but I guess there is no point.

Branding branding branding
He is building a brand, the changes mentioned above may not be to everyones liking - mine included, but it is about getting a following and building a brand that will sell products - his or others. Sometimes these have short windows - so he is making hay whilst the exmouth sun shines. I suggest he has someone advising him on this as the changes seem very specific and targeted to a younger audience -eg. my son wants one of his hoodies - i dont......
:-)

If you enjoyed the NZ produced show Big Angry Fish Milan and Nathan are now on youtube.  Look for The Lateral Line. 

 When number 2 joined our family, I rocked up to hospital the next morning and the wife had Big Engry Fish on the tv. It is  the first show my young bloke was positioned to watch.

 Yeah some of his antics are a bit much at times, but the ass on Brinkley keeps me coming back hahaha

Interesting topless shot of Brinkley as well, what a different world it is today. I am so thankful that there were no phones or social media platforms back in my early 20's when I lived in Darwin.

 His new jet boat looks interesting 

There is nothing smart about jumping off a ladder into a pool and blasting it all over the internet for everyone to see, just stupid. I too liked his episodes early on, especially when he had all is crew involved. Now days its pretty much just him and maybe his Brother. I wonder if there have been issues in the group, with some not wanting to be involved anymore?

In with Veau, these guys have cracking fishing content, Pelagicpursuit

 Weve had so much swell and good weather up here all the deckys would rather surf I think that is why you dont see them.  I just love how brody comes up with scenarios where by he can get some footage of swimming with whales or being way to close to them that he can stick in his vids.  Totally scripted to keep dpaw  happy. 

Good on him . Heaps of people seem to know more about him and his background .I’ve only watched a few of his videos . Seem okay . Getting paid for something you enjoy doing ( I would hate that) . I like merv Hughes one good laugh . Down to earth.

 My kids have been flicking through the videos after our Exxy trip. 

Funny thing is that when we were in the Newsagency in Exxy, my daughter (6) said 'theres Fire Baby'. When i said 'Where?', she pointed to a stubby holder with a naked dude on it that is targeted to guys who love guys, or in our case, one of our mates who loves a laugh. 

Last night, when watching the latest video, she asked why he had naked photos on a beer cooler?

My young bloke loves the stupid dirt bike stuff. 

Looks as though he's getting to be the salesman for Genesis these days, goes through boats quicker than I change undies. Seems to be a good relationship for both parties. As for the scamming insta hoe, she will come undone one day not too much foresight on her behalf there. The centre console looks like it's going to be a better rig for up here. 

I agree his content has become a bit pedestrian for my liking. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Saltfix. Love watching his vids and other than spots he's not shy on sharing what he knows. 

Some pretty respectable fisherman making them. I can’t understand why . After reading everything I’ve been watching a few more episodes. Not the worst I’ve seen . Maybe iam missing something?

 I agree LJ but also agree with comments about the irresponsible stuff he does. Just trying a bit too hard. Not as big a fan as I once was but haven't unfollowed so that's my position.

Some of the other sites you guys have mentioned are awesome though! Thanks

Just goes to show the quality of the content when he does a handful of 'questionable' things and people react to it. I don't think Brodie is alone as much as it seems with the footage, I may be mistaken, but the footage angles and content are done very well to generally focus solely on him.
I might be biased somewhat I guess, but I think he's built something that has spawned most of the You Tubers previously mentioned in this thread. Good on the lot of them I reckon.

.

 Feel much the same. 

His original videos where amazing and worth the watch but not sustainable as they take forever to make. Hats off to him for making a living out of it but his target audience has really changed I feel. It's hard because as mentioned above videos purely just fishing are hard to get huge you need to compromise to cater for a wider audience which he has done well at the cost of the hard core anglers. 

 Big angry Fush have the right idea, they are a couple of units with character and you can relate. Love watching them pull in the big Kungy's.

 Ive seen all his vids and i gotta say they are dead set cringworthy now. When i first started watching i thought he was a tool but the content wasnt bad so i put up with him , the latest with his new boat , house and toys seems to me he is just showing off. 

Gildo and the Dixon bros are the real deal and cant wait for new content from them , the other guy well he wont be missed lol.

Thanks for the Gido recommendation. Love his cruisy demeanour and enjoy watching the abseiling down those cliffs as much as the fishing!

Brodie Moss (of Youngbloods) has generated over 150million youtube views in the last 12months.
By my calculations, that's probably in excess of $500k of revenue from that alone.
And he has done it by chasing a dream and working hard on some quality video production and editing.
Bloody good on him. I suggest to all you knockers out there to simply don't watch or try doing it yourself if you think you can do better.

And a huge vote of appreciation to all those who do put themselves out there in the public sphere and share their fishing and marine experiences. I watch and take valuable information from as many of them as I can. Some of them, sometimes rub me up the wrong way, but I still appreciate their effort and content that they freely provide for my entertainment.

And anyone who went to the Perth Boat show in 2019 would have witnessed just how popular the Youngbloods are. I'm quite sure their presence at the show would have increased the show's attendance by at least 10 to 20%. They were by far the most popular attraction/stall there.

Finally for all you Karens out there that love to have a whinge, go feast your eyes on some other Aussie video producers that your teenage kids are probably watching and idolising ... tinnybashing on tik tok ... I'll go get my popcorn.

Settle down asskisser, take a read of the comments and I would suggest if you don't like this post then go have a whinge somewhere else.

 I watched some after reading this didn't make it to the end of any video only watched about 4 though so not a real fair amount all quite new to I think. I'm more interested in fishing. 

 Nobody said it wasnt successful, nor that it didnt attract an audience. All they said was the vibe and content had changed from the original and some people no longer found it as enjoyable.  If that generates more traffic then good for him.

As for calling people a "Karen" (God I hate that term), I think its people like you that are acting like "Karens". Did I mention that I hate that terminology.

PS, being a "Karen" is not based an whether you air an opinion or not, its based on how you air that opinion and whether you are being an inconsiderate prick or not.

 how about the latest episode back to him and his mates plenty of sick underwater footage

Good call, would be happy to watch one episode a month compared to the day to day boring, mundane content fillers of late.
Good bunch of blokes doing what they love.

 let's also not forget he lives in exmouth where it can blow its tits off for weeks at a time  and making that fishing and diving content isn't always a possibility

I watched Mikey Cunningham from Darwin last night, that guy does not go anywhere without a beer, his mrs gave him two hours to go for a fish, he stops at the bottlo and orders a 6 pack of lights and 3 tallies of great northern. I guess anyone can throw up content these days lol

 Was there a reference to this thread half way thru the last vid about grown man child? Liked the last ep as a bit more back to the roots, keep the spearing vids coming!!

Haha - I think he said "heap of grown ass men acting like kids" - to me that's just blokes having fun, was really enjoyable to watch a bit fun and great footage again. I just know now to bypass the solo beach trip and around home segments.

A couple of others that are not too bad are;

Deer Meat for Dinner - A Yanky bloke that mainly fishes with the odd pig and deer shoot thrown in. 

Skidpig - QLD bloke that is not real flash at fishing, yet has a crack and always has a XXXX in his hand. Probably not for kids to watch because he does drop the F & C bombs a fair bit.

 good bloke

Yep, sammy is pretty good, gets into a few too.
