I love this place too. I have camped and fished here a lot but caught maybe 5 fish in hundreds of hours of fishing. It is very popular, but I have only seen a handful of fish ever pulled out of this stretch of beach by the boat ramp or campground. Much better further down at the harbour entrance where it gets deeper quicker. I think the problem is it is VERY shallow and the current is very strong. The harbour has an oyster farm in it near Ohiwa, so I think all the fish must head straight there. There is a crazy amount of shellfish and baitfish so I can't believe it doesn't fish better than it does. A great place to fish but not such a good place to CATCH!
I just use a soft bait rod, works well for me. You want to go light weight, it's more fun. Up to 30gram casting weight should be plenty for the type of lures you need for kayawai.
Kiaora was awesum to watch your Video ..Tinopai is my home town I was born in Paparoa 1967, grew up there through college so many memories. Nga mihi nui.
Boss mint sauce goes great with whitebait ,it really does i'm an ex westcoaster i grew up on whitebait & have shared that tip to many people & all were amazed & liked it ..I'm a bit of a slow learner i still haven't learnt to not watch your videos on an empty stomach the food always looks so good it's makes hungry .lol .
yeah I haven't seen them so tame before. The were very funny and came for a visit every day. I think they are pheasants. Quails are smaller. The rig get pretty large around here, eh. The biggest ones are always female I believe. Have you caught anymore rig up north?
@@Fishingreminder lol i meant pheasant haha not sure why i said quail haha i've been too busy going after squid. haven't done any surfcasting in a while
Very nice mate, I saw you and your wife at Bunnings and Pack n Save Blenheim few weeks ago, getting famous yey, anyway have fun! And it was nice to see you both in person! I always keep enjoying and learning lots from your videos! Fantastic
Hi guys they are awesome spots to go the walk to the lighthouse is great did this at low tide long way but worth it was Xmas a few years ago ,wards beach is nice on a fine day , cheers , shaneno, nelson, well done on the rig mark 👍🍺
Hi Shaneo, thanks for the comment. Yeah some lovely spots for camping. I went for a run half way to the light house. But started to rain. Next time I'll run the whole way. It'll take a bit over half an hour running to get there. Beautiful views and coastline.
@@PeterMacGrergor Okay :) Well then I guess it wasn't lake Taupo, haha. I don't want to put out any false information but I could not find any restrictions on treble hooks for Lake Rotorua. Perhaps you can share a link if you know where this rule can be found?
@@PeterMacGrergor there isn't any general ban on treble hooks. It depends on the regional regulations. Like Taupo for example clearly has a ban on trebles but I don't think Lake Rotorua has. At least I can not find this in the rule books. The rules for all regions can be found here: www.fishandgame.org.nz/
3:49 you used to be able to see the roof of the RAT TRAP pub from up there, painted with RAT TRAP lettering in bolds black on yellow. A very unique pub with animal skins on the walls and taxidermy abound. The place is long gone now, due to some very interesting circumstances. Not much to be found online, but locally, the stories abound.
Hi, I'm using the transducer mount from railblaza and attached it to my transom. check it out: www.railblaza.com/products/transducer-mount-xl-arm-only/
you dont own any section of the river you are fishing, if you walk away and rerig or whatever come back and someone moved to where you were you do the gentlemenly thing and move to another spot nearby. iv been fishing up and down the south coast since the 70s. you only got away with it because the other guy was a foreigner to. show respect to other fishermen and dont be so arrogant next time. these types of comments can only have a negative effect on your followers.
I recon you could run a paravane in front of it all so you can set the depth of the lure.Just a thought .Would love to try on of these off Canterbury but the water is always so dirty
yeah I actually have a paravane in my tackle box. I will give it a try - that should work. I agree, it's a bit difficult around the Canterbury coast. I'm up in Blenheim at the moment and it's the same here. I might give it a try in Port Underwood when it's calm and cleared up a bit.
cool u got given an underwater camera. i did consider getting this. i would b cool to see the float shot in action especially for squid fishing. the upward camera position was pretty cool. just wanna ask how did you transfer the files to ur computer? via wifi connection with the camera to your phone or can you plug it to ur computer?
I think it could be really good for squid fishing, eh. I wish there were any squid around here so I could give it a try :) To get the files to the computer, you first have to transfer the footage from the camera to the phone via the app (wifi) and then you can copy it from the phone to the computer.
@@BasicFishingNZ yeah I'll certainly try to use it more often. My biggest concern is losing it to a shark, especially down here on the South Island :) This would mainly be an issue if I attach it to the sinker when drone fishing and a shark would bite through the line above the sinker. Maybe I'll have to use very heavy line down to the sinker and then just lighter line for the dropper traces. But I think it would be quite cool for drone fishing. That way you could see what's going on all the way out there.
@@Fishingreminder i saw this good tip and someone attached a good lenght of wire between the camera and the main line to tackle that issue plus tied on a heavy leader. hope that helps
@@BasicFishingNZ yeah probably a smart idea to use wire in shark invested waters, thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. Just waiting for the water to clear up a bit. At the moment it's very murky after all the rain. Probably wouldn't be able to see much.
I tried another brand, quite similar (but different design) - was great till it failed, can't get it to connect to my computer to recover or delete the footage. It's really cool getting underwater fishing footage. Be interested is seeing an update after you've used it a dozen times.
yeah I will do a bit of an update in a future video. I wanted to try it with drone fishing. Attach it to the sinker and have it point up to the hooks. Would make some cool footage if a big rig, snapper or elephant fish takes the bait. Just a bit worried that a shark bites through the trace and I lose it right away, haha.
@@Fishingreminder As long as you don't get broken off. I was running mine in 50lb braid with 15lb leader from the camera, so the week point was after the camera. I also wonder about adding a weight to the front of the camera to keep the nose down, I found it also came to the surface trolling mine.
@@snappagrabba yeah I will give it a go with a weight in front of the camera next time. I also recently bought myself a paravane. People use them to troll lures deeper. You might have seen them. I could try to use this in front of the camera. That should keep it down. Not good for casting but should work for trolling.
I love reviewing and testing fishing gadgets and gear. But we only pick the ones we like and use ourselves. We get a lot of requests but most products aren't really suitable for our channel. Some of the products we test have issues and we try to point that out.
Haha, yeah I wonder about that too sometimes 😂 RU-vid is not a great source of income for small channels. Making videos is lots of work with little reward. But at least it's fun to make videos. And sometimes we get to test out some cool products like the Aeroo Drone. But we also run an international fishing website - fishingreminder.com and thousands of people from all over the world use our site daily for their fishing times and that's how we can keep going and how people can support us :)
