Thanks mate. It was a fun one and glad it panned out in the end. Thanks for watching. Thomas.

Thanks for watching mate! So glad you enjoyed this one. That’s amazing you saw your dad’s boat. Do you get out on it much? Neat you’ve got land up north. It’s so beautiful isn’t it. Please do yell out if you see us. Thanks so much for watching. Thomas

@chasingacatch6017 . Dad had to sell it due to his health. We can't wait to move home at some stage Australia has been good to us but it's not home . Love your Melbourne eats those oysters. I will definitely say hello if I bump into either of you maybe even at the beach box . Keep it up. I love both channels. Mat

Hey mate. You don’t set them like you would a J hook but you still need to give them a little bit. You need to account for slack line, stretch (I was fishing mono), and snapper have some very hard bits around their mouth. I wasn’t giving it too much when setting the hooks. Thanks for watching. Thomas

​@chasingacatch6017 thanks. On another note hows the boat for multiple people?

I’ve fished 3 with comfort and ease (all adults). Also managed my top speed ever when I was 3 up (all adults again) which I thought was interesting. I really like it. Let me know if you want any more info. Cheers, Thomas

​@chasingacatch6017 follow up, how much did it all cost, and how much did you tell your missus it cost

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks heaps for watching! Thomas

Wow that’s a catch of a life time. Congratulations. They sure can be unpredictable wee things can’t they! Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas

Easy if you’re good at fishing 😜 hahaha Glad that day panned out in the end. Thanks for watching. Thomas

I always wet my hands first and then softly hold them. There is a lot of thought out there that this is better than using a towel. I talk about it often in my videos. Thanks for watching. Thomas.

Lots of info about towel vs hands here and how a towel isn’t good. Cheers. legasea.co.nz/2017/02/28/fishcare/

Sure was! Thanks for watching guys.

Thanks heaps Alister. So glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Thomas

I didn't even know you had this channel but now I will be going back over your vlogs and check it out Thomas.

Thanks mate! So glad you’re enjoying them. I really enjoy my fishing. Thomas

Great comment. I do have some tools on the boat and I really should have included that. Thanks heaps. Thomas

Haha love a splash of colour to keep things interesting. You know what’s funny as about your comment….my mum did give me those togs for Christmas 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching. Thomas.

@@chasingacatch6017 Classic, HaHa

Thanks mate. It was cool fishing that sallow. Thanks for watching. Thomas

Thanks for the kind comment Steve. So glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching. Thomas.

So fun. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas

Thanks for watching mate. Thomas

Sure were. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas

Haha I’ll trade him for a crazy hat 😂🙌

Thanks bro!

Thanks mate. I’ll check it out. Cheers, Thomas

Yeah hard out. So yum to eat too! Thanks for watching. Thomas

Yeah good call. I did actually have a second rod on the boat but with getting g used to it all, running the cameras and the fish biting anyway I never ended up using it. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas

Thanks for watching mate! Cheers, Thomas

​@@keastymatthew2407😂😂😂😂

Yeah good idea re no weight. The tide was running hard but wasn’t quite as strong as I expected. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas

Thanks Don! Hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Thomas

Hey mate. Shape things near the boat is definitely something you have to think about. I always made sure to net fish and drop them directly in a fish bin. I’ve now got a different boat (you’ll see that in my latest videos) and it’s a lot my casual dealing with sharp and pointy things I must say. The TrueKit is amazing for the ease of storage and start up cost but does have some drawbacks when it comes to fishing that’s for sure. Hope that helps. Cheers, Thomas

That’s a great call and it’s something I’ve had on my to buy list for a few months now. Thanks for the reminder I needed! Cheers, Thomas

Thanks so much Jaci. I love that you’re enjoying these videos even though you’re not a fisher. That’s really cool. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas.

Thanks mate. That was a nice day out. Cheers, Thomas

Haha get amongst it! I do think some of the safety gear I mentioned is very needed to keep us boaters safe though and keep others safe by not having to come and save our butts. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas.

Good call and thanks for all the technical info. My engine does have an emergency pull start option which is nice for peace of mind also. Thanks for that and thanks for watching. Thomas

Thanks mate! It’s good to be back. Been trying to film a bit but weather and lack of fish has been making it hard. How are things going for you with the boat share? Thats a cool set up. Thanks for watching. Thomas

Thanks for watching mate.

Sure didn’t expect that as an addition 😂

That’s a great idea. My engine actually has a pull start kit built in just in case so I sort of cover that one off another way. Thanks heaps for the great addition. Thomas

Sure was! Like a pond out there. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas

Thanks mate! So glad you’re enjoying them. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas.

@@chasingacatch6017 I'll be Aulk in a fortnight, just for the day Have my own boat, want to go fishing?.

Nice one. I’m based in the Far North. Thanks heaps for the offer though. Thomas

That was such a fun fight. It really pulled! I didn’t get a weight on it back it sure wasn’t small. Thanks heaps for watching and commenting mate. Thomas

Thanks for watching! Thomas

Thanks mate!

Thanks mate. The reel is a Penn Slammer which is a 3500 size and using an Abu Garcia 6-10kg rod. Let me know if you need more info. Cheers, Thomas

Just replied to your other comment. Let me know if you need more info. Cheers, Thomas

Good call. Not seen the seducer before. I’ll check it out. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas

I'm usually up that way on holiday for the last week of march & first week of April, might get in touch next year we head out for a fish

Wicked! So cool you get up here every year.

yeah have been holidaying at various places around Doubtless Bay since the mid 90's. Use to stay at Coopers or Cable, but these days I stay over at Whatuwhiwhi. I think the fishery in D.B is very underrated and it would be level peggings the best lure fishery for snapper etc in NZ. Level with Tryphena G.B.I pre Calurpa days....

Neat! Yeah it’s one heck of a place to throw lures around. We’re very lucky. Caulerpa is looking like a scary one. Fingers crossed some way to control it is successful.

Hey. Depends on the conditions and depth really. My preferred is 3/4 oz but I’ll fish 1/2 oz and 5/8th also. The lightest possible to reach the bottom I find a good rule of thumb. I do like to feel in touch with it though so prefer a bit more weight at times. Sorry that’s a bit of a vague answer. Let me know if I can be any more help. Cheers, Thomas

Hey there. I’ve got the 4200cc. Let me know if you need any more info. Cheers, Thomas

The good sort of kablooey I hope? 😀 Were you out on the water? Thanks re the boat. I really enjoy it. Thanks so much for watching. Thomas

@@chasingacatch6017 not Saturday which I think is the day you were out. I was out last Thursday. Hope to catch a few more kings before winter weather sets in ☺

Nice one! I wasn’t out Saturday. Hope we keep getting some nice weather. Cheers.

I’m sold on that new penny! So glad I busted it back out. I love a bruised banana also. Such a great go to. Thanks heaps for watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Cheers, Thomas

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve tried paddle tails but not grubs. Do you cast and retrieve or drag paddle tails behind the boat? I’ve had success with both methods. Thanks heaps for watching. Cheers, Thomas

@@chasingacatch6017 Either works, but dragging a grub gets a bit more movement from the tail than a shad IMO. You just need a slightly shorter shank hook to set the bait right

Yeah very true re the shank. It’s easy for it to sit too far back I find. Where I normally fish dragging is a real option and the bottom is very flat. Must do a bit more of it. Cheers.

Thanks mate. Haha those shorts are pretty wild 😂 Thanks so much for watching. Thomas 😀
