    Clay them Kahawai in your chilly bin were the perfect size live baits for kingies from 20lb up put them out on a balloon tied on with cotton so it breaks off when a kingi's hits
    This slows the Kahawai down and stops it hiding on the bottom.
    Used to catch them up a local estuary after-work in the summer ,then fish for snapper in the burley while you wait . Put the hook just behind the head sideways at 45 degree with point to the head, kingies always swallow head first, sharks go for the tail, the point will stand up when swallowed allowing a good hook up.
    Good luck
    Stingray's like the yellow eyed mullet on the bottom if you fancy messing with a freight train as we used to call them big UN's

    • @ClayTallStories

    Last trip from Okiwi was a test run of my replacement yak nearly two years ago. Paddled out to about halfway up Squally Cove as far as Samson Bay. Only forgot to take a couple of things, ... sunglasses, drink, food, .... Had a fish, tested out the long line I put together. Oh well, was still a good shakedown paddle in the Espri. Collected a Prowler 13 while I was there.

    hey Clay, like to offer a bit of constructive criticism on your fishing technique mate, you may have already tweaked to these but if not - with the overhead real (for right handed wind) if you put your left hand on the grip above the reel you can use your thumb to spread the line when winding in if you don't do that the line will build up in one spot and you can get a jam or tangle - also when winding in a fish give yourself a bit more line between the rod tip and the fish to allow for the curve of the rod otherwise you can snap the rod tip - other than that mate you smashed it and I'm sure if you haven't already managed to hook up on a Kingfish off your boat I'm confident you soon will...... still loving these vid's - lucky Pase didn't crap on the big boat......... hahahahhhhh, Cheers

    With kingfish it depends on the day,if its calm they can be picky with yellow eye mullet,if they are go down a size on the live bait hook and u will get better hook up rates,if its choppy they will take it easily,keep it up! And use 100 pound fluro trace max or 80 pound so harder to see your line.

    Awesome video Clay👍 I know you said it a million times but what is the setup (rod and reel) you use. The reel you use, does it automatically throw the ratchet on. Years ago I bought an alvey when they gave them a new look for for fishing the beach. The ratchet click couldn’t be manually controlled. It lasted 2 casts then went straight into the bin.
