Registrace 15. 07. 2012
These little vids I put together is of my own experiences and show the way I like to fish for some of NZ fish species, I fish a lot on the Hauraki Gulf (my back door step). I also travel to the far North each year where I target Kings on jigs and have started to enjoy straylining for Snapper in the shallow Bays and Harbours - Occasionally we also like doing a bit of softbaiting or micro jigging but our main fishing revolves around straylining. I hope you enjoy some of the footage and I will also try to incorporate a few tips and tricks on how and why we fish some of these places.
A hard day softbaiting in the north but a nice colorful bin in the end
Our day 3 in the far north saw the winds drop but the fishing got harder.
Launching in the Harbour just on day break we made our way along the coastline towards Houhora. We thought we would start the morning off once again flicking a few softies around the wash and shallows like the previous day. We had caught nothing of substantial size snapper wise at places we had caught monsters every time fishing the area.
We started our softbait adventure at one of our favourite rocks we always start at and have had some nice fish pulled from here. It was a perfect setting with no wind and the sun only just creeping out of bed (nice low light). It was a very quiet start with only just a little rat king caught by Stevo at our first spot. As we headed further down the coast to our next favourite spot we tried a few corners and coves with little to no action, it was starting to look like it was the beginning of one of those days.
We arrived at our next spot where we had caught a few horses from but once again it was very quiet apart from stevo landing this time a little snap around 50cm. We tried and tried, it was hard to give up such an epic big fish spot but after a hard hour of trying here, and a couple more corners and coves we had to pull the pin and head for the deep. If they weren't in here we were hoping they were schooling in the deep. We do love to get a couple of deep water softbaiting seshes in when in the north. The other great thing is being in the deep and on foul ground we normally pick up a few reefies. It didn't take long before we had a few reefies starting to hit the deck of the little Osprey.
Stevo's first reffie was a granddaddy hapuka and mine a nice size johnny. If the snaps weren't here at least other species were. We were constantly getting hit on our softies which was nice to have and my next fish was a pig fish which made its way to the bin. Dropping my softie once again, mid water it was hit and hit hard. I actually couldn't stop it so had to bust it off before I lost all my line. I didn't even have a chance to turn its head. I was picking it was a shark? but wouldn't have thought a big boy would be interested in a softie.
At least we were into the action unlike this morning fishing the shallows. Our reefie plan was coming together nicely as I landed another grandaddy. Stevo had changed over to a slow jig which had been starting to hook up a few fish. After losing one he managed to land a nice size parrot fish which also made its way to the bin. It's actually quite nice to catch other species every now and then instead of the norm. Snapper fishing can get a bit boring if you're doing it all the time and to be honest some of these fish are a lot tastier. We caught a few more before they also went a little quiet so once again we wound up and headed off to another spot.
We decided to finish the day off in one of the bays trying for snapper on a spot that has never let us down. It's a nice little reef that rises up from 20mtrs to 12 and fish seem to feed on it. Arriving and flicking out the softie it started off in true form. It looked like our little reef might just produce a few kelpies for us. We did manage a couple for the bin but it was really turning out to be one of those days. With the mussel farm being on our way home it was time to put the softies away, head back to where we started the day off, but this time drop the anchor and berley at our big Trever spot in the mussel farm. This was our last spot and we were hoping to add a couple of big trev's to the bin.
It was a fun ending to our day battling a few nice trev's and we even managed a couple mussel farm snaps to add to the bin. Although a bit of a tough day we had a nice colorful bin and in the end even though it was a hard day on the water it was still a fun one with a mate....

Softbaiting the wash in the far north - a fun day with kingfish surprise
zhlédnutí 3,3KPřed 21 dnem
Our 2nd day in the north saw us launching the little Osprey off Rangiputa, The wind had calmed a little more for the morning. It was going to pick up in the arvo but the high cliffs running north of Houhora would give us shelter through the day. The plan was to softbait the wash along this area where we have caught some beauties over the past few seasons. It was great to be out at last in the l...

Mid morning snapper antics of Tokerau - back into the snaps on the surfcasters 🎣 Having had a good snapper bite the previous night before off Tokerau, we decided to come back and see if the hot bite could follow on into the daylight hours. Normally that kind of hot bite happens more so during those darker hours, so it was going to be interesting if the fish were still there with the sun up. We ...

We like to waste no time on these trips to make th...
A fun solo - bait'n berley bash and a bit of softbaiting on a west coast Harbour.
zhlédnutí 3,3KPřed 2 měsíci
With a nice weather window during the week I decided to ditch work and head out on the Harbour for a good ole bait'n berley bash. The water temp was still a little warm as I was hoping it had dropped enough for the smaller fish to disperse but it wasn't to be. With a bit of a hard morning on the bait's I switched it up in the arvo to the softies which was a great decision. Kingfish, trevs, carr...

The Young-ones had been camping in the Bay of islands and were keen to get a line wet. The trouble was we had a bit of wind hanging around so i decided to take them further north for a fun couple hours fishing one of the Harbours that can hold a lot of fish. We left early and a couple hours later we were on the water having fun.

Do you use a mic attached to you bro?
Yep I run a sep mic then put the two together when editing. Tight lines
@@Reel-Kiwi-Fishingbloody great job editing bro cheers
I like your content bro, by far best fishing show, need to get up far north sometime looks beautiful
Cheers for the support lh5734 the far north is defiantly a special place 👍
Your hard day catch is still bloody good! It would be awesome if you showed your sea anchor technique next time as there is so much conflicting info on the best approach.
Nice vid bro, may seem like a hard day but it's better than being at work! 😅

Would I fish take the fake squid on non baited hook?
Whats the line you have on the 8k ?
Where is that river you drove down?
It's on the west coast top of the north island - Te Paki stream.
Have been using my mechanix gloves recently due to the cut I keep reopening lol, shit sucks but I love fishing so I'll keep pushing through
You can get what they call a casting glove that goes just over that finger - www.okuma.co.nz/product/2698/okuma-glove-one-finger-casting 👍
Hey bro, Great fishing, good viewing, cheers man
Well you launched at the right end of the beach thats for sure. Hard sand down that end.
I miss living in the north. You live the dream cuz!
Epic bro, mean as session of slaying!
If you were to choose between the rods you set up, which one would you go for as a long term ownership.
The all rounder would be the new MC Nano - it has the sliding reel seat as well but if it had LR guides would be close to perfect. It is a little more chunky than the Kotare and heavier. The Kotare is super light with a extra fast taper. Not a lot in the way of EVA grip etc on the Kotare but that's why it's a super thin and light blank. The Kotare is more a high end profile rod so needs to be looked after more than the MC. Hope that helps as it still comes down to personal preference. Tight lines
It's actually 55 miles not 90
Thank you!
Thanks for another entertaining video. I really enjoy your dark sky intros. You drive up North quite often and seem to have several of the beaches wired. Would there be any issue with saying when you fishing? Maybe just the month? I hope you can keep up the fishing fun in the coming months during the weather windows. Cheers Sir!

Hi gk It's great to hear they have helped you and hope your fishing journey is a fishy one 👍 Tight lines
Please stop referring to the mighty Kahawai as….. just a Kahawai.
Have you had it long enough to pass judgement on it ? Out of 10?
Fished with it for 3-4 seasons now and pretty hard to fault - you can never get that perfect rod but it is a pretty damn good rod. It really does come down to personal pref when it comes to things like this as some will like it being super lite others not so much. Some want EVA grips etc others don't worry - it has a super fast tapper others like a more parabolic feel the list goes on. Best thing is to get one in your hands and give it a flick, feel, bend etc. 7-8/10 Tight lines
Sad there hard as hell to find in America.
The talk around Kahawai being JUST a kahawai is a bit yesterday. Be awesome to hear…. Yee hee hee a KAHAWAI… yeee boy.
Hey bro, what brand is your sand spike rod holder.
Hi t42 One was a prototype which didn't seem to come out the other is my ali fish tech which is available.
Grew up over the other side, caught a load of awesome fish in the shallows off Herne Bay and either side of Rats. Great memories
