Crossing the MANUKAU BAR WITH A JET SKI to catching KINGFISH at a local spot

Join us in this video where we cross the Manukau bar to head out on the blue west coast! this is just to show the places you can go with a Jet ski. Even if you have a smaller one like we do, the Seadoo GTI 90 is perfect to get through a bit of chop. we then get straight into the kingfish at a local spot off the coast of Auckland. the day started slow and the sharks were thick. we were lucky enough to get one away from the sharks.
let us know in the comments below if you guys have any suggestions for our videos and what you would like to see or see more of!

That’s one of the calmest day’s crossing the manukau bar. Gets crazy out there sometimes

[@RSLivingFree]

It sure was a calm day, the Manukau bar can be very dangerous.

Is there a group that you can join that heads out that way done it heaps in a boat but would love to do it on the ski

[@RSLivingFree]

There is a Jet ski fishing community group on Facebook where guys usually post for guys to join in the trips. We post on there sometimes as well.

[@RSLivingFree]

Hi julle , ek het n' gtx limited 215 en will ook graag begin visvang hier in Wellington ,enige advies , specifieke box rigging ens ?

[@RSLivingFree]

Hi Bennie, ek is nie seker watse visvang stelle pas op die GTX nie maar ek weet die manta jet ski fishing kit met ń 70l icytech werk baie goed en hulle is nie so duur nie.

8:12. Jet ski's lol. Watch out for tiger sharks, they are out there, and great white sharks, even in the harbor, in 1987 there were two great whites spotted in the harbor, a 35 foot and a 15 foot great white

[@RSLivingFree]

Jip! We have encountered a few sharks out there before but no great whites yet! That is crazy! I would like to think I will be excited to see a great white but think i will need a change of underwear 🙈

[@piscatorialpursuits8815]

Boet get a shorter jigging rod. Kingies will use the leverage to kill you otherwise. Great catch though!

[@RSLivingFree]

Thanks Barry! I have just bought myself a new jigging rod and works way better. 👍🏼

[@ballisticrooster5541]

All I would be thinking about is how many great whites I'm passing over 🇺🇲

[@RSLivingFree]

That makes it exciting! Lol we have come across a few bronze whalers but no great whites yet.

[@ballisticrooster5541]

Exciting scary shit!!love it
