One of my best day's fly fishing for Snapper on a shallow reef plus some solid kahawai from spring workups. I also show my saltwater flies and gear. It's fantastic to have this good fishing in Auckland and so close to my home.

If you like the hoodie and hat I'm wearing in the vid check out my merch at caffgear.co or if you want to look at the rods or reels check out caffgear.co/saltfly. Let me know in the comments what you think of the hoodie.

love the underwater shots m8, completely different perspective.

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Yeah its pretty neat. Want to upgrade the UW gopro at some point to get more stabilized clips

@tornagawn 3 года назад

fantastic vid, unmistakable ‘noddy’ at 9:30

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Haha true it is certainly unmistakable. Glad you enjoyed the vid

Hi Johan, good camerawork, lovely day on the water with an excellent boat and good seamanship and I especially liked your safety procedures. The area looks very familiar and has produced some lovely memories. That fishing the flats from the boat was outstanding and produced a lovely snapper for the table. The description at the end was appreciated by a lot of new anglers as it gives them an idea of the kit and rigging required. Yep, one of your best Johan, keep it up. Cheers mate. Harera

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Thanks very much Piere. A lovely piece of coastline largely unexplored for me and it has already produced so well. Look forward to what I will find in future. Safety is key for me. I have kids that come out with me too. Always need to be prepared on the water. I'll keep pushing for better quality and presentation with each video as best I can. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated.

@jasoncrang1455 3 года назад

What an awesome video Johan! I swear with that 47cm snapper you were going to lose it given the background music! So so cool!

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

That's so funny, my wife said it sounded like an Alfred Hitchcock movie 🤣🤣. Tell you what I was worried with only 10lb tipped on there. There are a lot of sharp rocks and kelp in there. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to bring more soon.

@waynenaylor5734 3 года назад

Great to see you back on the water Johan, some really nice fish there, those kahawai were beauts! 🤙

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Thanks Wayne, it's been great to be able to get out.

@balbirg3 3 года назад

Love the water wherever it may be, river or sea, your videos captivate me! You are rocking it, you look so comfortable out there!! Music 10/10!

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Thanks very much doing my best to make these as good as possible

@markhoffman9655 3 года назад

Some exciting action well captured - looked like some nice sized parore under the kahawai around the 5:00 minute point.

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Thanks. I only saw those parore once I looked at the video. Will have to try and fish for them next time I fish there.

@sportsfanatic4538 3 года назад

Nice vid bro🤙 since it's level 3 in Auckland could you head down to wairoa river? Keen for some freshwater action!

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

I will contemplate it. Certainly not my favorite place. There are some trout in there but I'm not sure it's worth the effort. It is tough times so I will consider it 😊

@flytrout_nz 3 года назад

What a joy Johan, thanks for all your efforts. Great stuff 👏 👍 👌!!!

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

My pleasure! Very glad you enjoyed it

@schmoonkie 3 года назад

Thanks Johan for posting. I enjoyed the video quite a bit. I've never fished for salt water fish before, but you made it look like fun.

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it, saltwater is certainly different but a lot of fun. The fish are so strong for their size.

@TroutHuntingNZ 3 года назад

So good

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment. I've been enjoying your SI monster trout. Those things are the size of kingfish.

@AdriftFishing 3 года назад

That was epic bro!

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Thanks man, it was such a good day out

@darrylgulp5878 3 года назад

Great vid. Have an old flyrod in the cupboard. Goin to hit the shallows around kawau this summer!

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Absolutely. That island has some great shoreline for snaps and there must be some big kelpies in there. Enjoy and hope you get heaps.

@darrylgulp5878 3 года назад

@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing yeah man! I know my shallow water zones like the bak of my hand. Hav had a lot of fun with a sedona 1000 6lb braid and 3" soft plastics :) i have no doubt flies will slay!

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

@@darrylgulp5878 they will and its so good on the fly gear.

@FishingForeverFilms 3 года назад

You should head out and film some kingfish fishing around there bro, get a few live baits and troll them around that island. I’ve fished that spot before and did okay on them.

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

Yeah I'm heading there tomorrow with my son. Want to get onto some kings. Will try to catch some livies. Either kahawai or if that fails mackerel.

@FishingFinatic5438 3 года назад

My friends have that exact boat the smartwave great vid enjoy the saltwater vids

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 года назад

They are awesome little boats. Love mine. There will be more saltwater vids coming even after they let us out. Have my eyes set on few firsts. While we are locked in here though it will be all saltfly for a while. I will try to keep it interesting with different things.

@willmaynard9016 2 года назад

Is the rod you're using a maxcatch predator rod? Some lovely fish mate.

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 2 года назад

Thanks mate. Pretty much the same rod but not maxcatch branded. It's from www.iloveflyfishing.kiwi in Auckland. There are more links in the the description to the specific setups I use.

@willmaynard9016 2 года назад

@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing thanks for the reply. I'll make sure to keep watching the vids. As an Irish man..... Bad luck yesterday mate 😁

Haha yup. Great game.
