How do you "lock-off" the anchor at the desired length?
Would've liked the video more if you showed techinique. Thank for upload though.
Thanks for all this valuable information. A quick question: Why not use an additional treble hook at the bottom of the lure instead of relying solely on the assist hooks when using a boat? Much appreciated.
Oh wow, I was just sitting here thinking about where I was going to launch the yak this weekend and thought of you. Did a UA-cam search and found that you are back👌🏼👍🏽 Great to see you back mate
That wave artwork was fantastic with the sunlight showing through
Do you use cury tails or jerk shad?
Both
Hi, yeah your on to it. Myself and my friends and family are on a similar journey. Growing vegetables and trying to be more self sufficient. Its a good direction to go after. Cheers for that
Are you using curly tails or jerkshads?
Nice! - trying this now. Had great success getting kids into eating fish (especially if it's a strong flavoured fish) in the restaurant scene back in the day using the smaller "bite" sized pieces and adding some maggi chicken soup to the crumb. Also for fish tacos crush some corn chips into a course crumb for a taste hit coupled with smashed avocado mayo. Thanks for the inspiration Rob.
Hello Rob, great to see after looking for tips and tricks and seeing SOOO many Big Mouth Bass in dirty rivers rather than views of NZ - finally hooked a good 'un here. Just moved to West coast of Auckland and learning my way around the very different Manukau Harbour but finding some good fish there. Also REALLy pleased to watch anything presented in this friendly and relaxed way on growing, cooking, being more sustainable and just re-connecting with the simpler ways of doing things.
Heya dude,very cool vid 😅,you wont remeber through ammount of people you met but i have a kingi print of yours hangning on the wall,a snapper singlet and a johnny t-shirt...fukn awesome dude...humble as hell dude for anyone reading this people i was lucky enough to get a full look around with taxidermy,shop,and yarns genuine kiwi champ 🤙🤙
Love to see anything ie fishing, harvesting, trapping, cooking, preserving, etc, in NZ. The world is interested. Cheers from Canada. Cheers from Canada
Heya bud, long time since we chatted mate, Dallas here… sorry to hear covid screwed everything mate, good to see your diversity into other stuff, feedback from me would be, maybe showcase more of your artwork and what you do there, and yeh fishing of course maybe where you fish and how you pick a spot, clothing etc ( I know it’s sharkskin) but just in general and yes your gear, otherwise just keep doing what you’re doing mate!👍
Yum 😎
Brilliant video and content, inspiring.
Thank you
Hey Rob, somehow missed this video but so glad to seeing you back making videos. I always enjoy your content. Hopefully we'll get to catch up the next time we're up in Coromandel for a little collab.
Hey great to hear from you and yes a colab definitely a great idea cheers team
Nice Trev Rob, beautiful spot..
Like how you recycle all kinds of stuff, good to find a use for things rather than just chucking them in a landfill👍
Thanks so true cheers👍
Maara kai looking fab mate!
Cheers bro
Sweet gardens man. I love my gardens. I find the fish makes plants fruit for a lot longer.
Thanks yes bang on cheers
Nice, but your filming is terrible
Thanks for that had some camera issues but hey considering the amount I get paid to do this really couldnt care less and if you dislike something then just don't watch, it's that simple
I like your videos but just giving you feedback that your filming made it difficult to watch@@NZkayakfishing
Love the recycled hot house cuz. Recycling is my thang... No vege garden for me this summer due to the move, but got most of the fencing done to establish a new one today. Got to keep the chooks, ducks, cattle, and horses out before planting, or there'll be none for me..
Thanks cuz
Just found this page. Would love to see more. Been Kayak fishing Rodney area.
Welcome to the channel and great to hear from you, more videos coming soon

Hi Rob great to see you back in action ,I have just had a chance to watch all of the latest shows and would like to say awesome job mate . Life has defiantly changed after covid clad to see you have come the other side in a good place. looking forward to seeing more content soon some of your life skills more than welcome
That's so awesome to hear and thanks for taking the time to give words of encouragement. I look forward to bring you more vids and keep the comments coming, its so appreciated cheers
Great catch for the day buddys awesome channel i like it😁👍
Thanks so much
Hey Great video mate. Question on the micro jigs, what weight are you using and how do you know which weights to use?
Thanks. Was using an 80gram jig. I started with smaller versions however when the current (which is quite strong in this area) starts up its best to up size to ensure you don't get to much line angle (the more vertical the better) and this keeps the jig more below the angler which assist with working the jig better, hope that helps cheers
Well that was a productive session! What an awesome trev. Imagine I can guess what raw fish dish you're going to be doing with it!
Cheers bro and good times for sure. Yep that trev had so much meat and the thickness of the fillets made it perfect for cured fish recipe MMMMMMM tasted bloody good mate
Incredible fishing mate that video was epic! I hope you have a bumper holiday period with the business.
Thank you
Great vid! Love the quality of light and vibrant colour. The trevally was awesome and the Octopus gobbler! See you next year.😎😎
Thank you appreciate it cheers
Almost like the govt reaction to covid was the problem, but what do I know.
Could be, cheers
Thanks Rob. See you next year. Have a happy new year and merry Christmas!! Cheers
Thank you cheers
