Thankyou, they're a special species.

Thank you, I enjoy telling people about my day.

@@rawlosfishing Yes. But your videos are not reaching the right target due to lack of SEO

Thank you so much, fishing means the world to me. It's my down time from work; it also challenges me physically and mentally, further allowing me to interact with wonderful people all over the world. I couldn't ask for much more.

Thank you for watching. Light tackle fishing is a huge challenge, especially one up. You get to see the struggles in this one.

I've found every year a little different, with our non winter bite this year I wasn't sure if they'd show at all. I'd say they're about normal however the kings are slow.

@ I reckon it’s only gonna get better though

The frustrating part was a mate raised a mako in his boat and wasn't fishing for them. That's fishing I guess.

Yeah on the Portland complete angler instagram a heap of people got them

Cheers mate, was a heap of fun and a great change of pace.

Sorry for the late reply... I sure did, this was the pic of them. There's plenty of small fish on offer, I had the most success on small occy type lures with squid strips attached. I'm sure they'll take metal slugs or plastics if you pull up and cast at them.

Thankyou... I'm out of practise, puffing a fair bit.

It's not often we get glassed out conditions, it was just unreal.

A few Makos taken today but we couldn't raise one, conditions were awesome.

The Schoolies teeth dictate as to how they are dealt with boat side. They are extremely dangerous and could inflict a nasty wound if bitten by one. The decision to gaff is purely to protect those on board and minimise the opportunity for the fish to bite through the leader and find freedom.

This is in forty metres of water east of Lawrence Rock. I have a previous video called "My Portland Gummy Mark" which will show you the coordinates and general area on Nav Maps.

Thank you, I love sharing what's happened in my day and lucky enough to catch a few on the way.

Thank you and you're spot on, a westerly wind change saw the fish come on. Say hi next time you're in Portland.

Thanks Pete, hoping to see you on the water soon.

Thank you, it was an amazing session once they got going.

Was an amazing trip.

As Robbie Alexander says, I think you had a near Cod experience. In all seriousness, great to hear you broke the drought, yell out if you see me up there... I'm always up for a chat.

@@rawlosfishingi tried to look out for ya but i think i woke a bit too late

A few choice words were edited out, hahaha.

I would've preferred the leader to give way rather than knowing the lure snapped. We certainly keep the tackle stores in business.

I sat in the boat and pondered what might have been, it keeps me going back though.

Hi mate, the bite has been in the mornings for me and all over by lunch time. I've tried to match the hatch and use small redfin / perch or minnow coloured lures. Don't be scared to go as slow as you can and get as close to the bank as possible. The Berkley Twitcher and Rapala Shad Rap lures have been really successful in my trips, for some reason they're taking the smaller lures. I'm hoping to be up there Saturday if you're still there, come say g'day. Orange DMax.

@ alright mate, I’ll try look for you tomorrow haha. I’ll be in a blue kayak with shimano stickers. Thanks so much for the info mate

Thank you, I'm having way too much fun chasing these fish.

Sure will, trouble with Rocklands is the timber... I hate losing good lures when I forget my tackle back.

At the moment I go as shallow as I can, I have to downgrade the lure size though to adjust. Reason for the shallows is the warmth, today was two to four metres.

You can’t get much better then a big yella

Thank you, we had an amazing trip. I travelled with my own reels, they're Shimano Stradic 6000's which were loaded with 30lb braid. The rods were various Daiwa and Shimano sticks provided by the trip organiser. Don't be scared to fish light, if you start losing too much line the skipper will assist and chase the fish. The locals use reels as small as 2500, 3000.

@rawlosfishing thank you

@rawlosfishing which charters do you recommend?

We booked through the Australian based Ocean Blue Fishing Adventures. They were amazing. 😊

I've had a heap of fun... look out 2025.

They're such great fun on light line, I'll run into one soon that I won't be able to stop.

Hope you boys have had a wonderful trip.

Thank you... I've just subscribed, can't wait to check your video's out.

@ thank you so much man!

I love their colour range too, they certainly do a great product. Sunday arvo online shopping?

Will head up tomorrow for a look... fingers crossed.

Cheers mate, loved catching this one. 😊

Have you ever went a bit further to Taylor’s lake near Horsham because that’s also an awesome cod and yella fishery

Taylors has some huge fish in it, thinking I'll head up that way in a couple weeks if the weather holds.

This was in 130 metres... we were lucky enough to have glassed out conditions.

@@rawlosfishing i was behind rock drifting, couldnt find a bite, n yes backed right off through out the day

We actually expected more on the day being out deep, the sharks didn't move in. Always next time for us.

It was amazing to be a part of...

It was so good to be part of with Mick.

It was an amazing fish to be a part of, I'm thinking March, April may see my return.

He's a truly talented angler.

They certainly are, Lake Pukaki, Lake Tekapo and Lake Benmore all hold great fishing in their own right.

Hi and thankyou for watching, the area we were fishing is in the central part of the south island of New Zealand, no connection to the ocean that I know of. They do have sea run Chinook Salmon in NZ however, I'll do some homework for you.

Definitely not a seatrout ronny. Everything is just big in the south island of NZ. Including deer and other game. You have to come here to believe it 🤝🏼🐟🐟🐟

NZ is such an amazing place, we just love coming to visit.

@rawlosfishing there's some dinosaur sized trout in those canals . Glad you enjoy the fishing . Great video bro 🤝🏼👏

We had such a great week chasing them and can't wait to go back. They continue to challenge angler's and we wouldn't have it any other way.

A range of long Samurai and Daiwa rods matched with 2500 sized reels, my personal reel is the Vanford however I do love my Stradic. All matched with 4lb braided line and 8lb leader.

Was the best week mate, and I learnt heaps about the NZ wilderness thanks to Trev. Hahahaha

@@rawlosfishing I think we all did mate lol never to go down tracks you don’t know 😂

Was the best trip brother, can't wait for next time.

@@rawlosfishing most definitely mate

Thanks again for capturing this memory for me Mate and also being the man for the job on the net you done a great job of both and I really appreciate it… So glad you had your camera rolling for this fish 😅 Nice work and cheers mate was an awesome fish and glad I got To share with you all on this trip.. team effort 100% 👍 Can’t wait to do it All again some day 🎣

But not a boat

I would but have commitments. Let me know how you go, we need to get you a go pro. 😊

@@rawlosfishing you should come

For a fish

@@rawlosfishing I I hate put Australian salmon on the lures also we are heading to rocklands on the week end you should come to glendening

Thank you, I personally had a challenging trip but was so happy to be a part of the fish that were caught. I just adore NZ and will definitely head back in 25.

I agree one hundred percent, I had such a good week and adore New Zealand. My personal fishing challenges will only encourage me to return. I'm open to all suggestions to help take the pressure off this fishery for future generations.

I've been trialing a new jig head -that you should try- they are super sharp+++++ & tungsten..they are an* outbarb and just been super impressed - if you get a chance try them..japanese "Ichikawa"for all things trout.

I'll jump online and check them out.
