Those blue Mackerel are stunning table fair, great sashimi if bled and awesome in the smoker.
looking forward to giving that a go one day!
Great day on the water. JD a great bonus, amazing how big a lure some fish will take. Blue mackerel apparently are good smoked - very similar to the UK mackerel, according to Brits living in NZ.
Anyway, thanks for your considered replies to the comments various people made on your last vid re the gut hanging out the 'rear'.I know you have conservation at heart and will look into it. I think fishing at the depth you are, kingies will release no problem, but snapper not so. The guts hanging out means the internal organ has been displaced and forced out by the blown up swim bladder. I have read that kind of 'injury' makes the fish very vulnerable - ie it won't suck back up even if it gets back to the depths. Maybe better to keep any legal snaps you get at that depth - but your call after looking into it, mate. i enjoy the content!!
Thanks for the thoughtful response mate - appreciate it! I smoked one of those blue mackerel once and it was delish! And yes, I've done a bit of research since the last video (both videos are from trips a few months ago). To be honest, the research I read on the subject seems very variable. Some studies concluded that fish released in these depths (even up to 180m) can make a full recovery, while others said they are bound to die, even when caught as shallow as 30m deep. It makes for a tough decision, as you are right, I (and I'm sure most of the viewers of my videos) have conservation at heart and would much rather see these larger snapper swim off. Someone said to me that if you take these fish, you guarantee they die, whereas if you let them go at least you give them a chance to survive. That thinking sort of makes sense to me. Then again, we have no way of knowing what does in fact happen to these fish. We all just make assumptions about what we think will happen. Long story short - it's a tough decision and I'm still considering what to do if / when this happens next! Cheers
@@gpfishingadventures7834 Good one. Not telling you what to do at all. Just to be clear, my comments are specific to the guts hanging out situation. I understand standard barotrauma is definitely survivable (according to the research - mainly out of Australia- on dermersal species such as dhufish and snapper) if release weights are used. They can be bought in shops over there, but not here for some reason. I am in the process of making my own, but the first one was a failure.because the wire hook turned out to be too flimsy in practise. Felt fine on the work bench. The research in Australia is based on scientists returning fish to the water and checking survival. I think that is as good as we'll find in terms of what does happen once they go back. As you'll have seen for yourself, smaller fish seem to handle coming up from depth better than bigger snaps. I think it's a fish by fish decision, and your call in the end. Keep up the good content, mate.
keep up the good work
Cheers John!
i actually love your videos man, really makes my day when you upload
Thanks so much! You've just made my day mate
great work on the kayak Greg especially that pb kingfish. that trevally was really long at 15:14 haha. that was a close call at 18:25
Thanks Peter 👍🏽
Good one mate, Thanks for the video mate. Enjoyed it
Thanks!
Mean as!!! Too much Bro 😎
cheers bro!
Can you do a kayak set up vid 🙏
One of these days I'll get around to it! Too busy fishing most of the time 😂
Another epics day fishing greg.Some close calls with those hooks mate haha! Anyway your 111cm kingfish would EST to be 17KG. Nice catch
Haha it's only a matter of time before I get one in my hands or legs. Should probably invest in some cutters before that happens 😂
another epic video👊
Thank you!!
How does that kayak hold your huge balls? Respect
😂😂😂 haha thanks mate! Just out there having fun
do you reccomend the rods that the eyes turn around the rod or do you just like the straight eyes all the way up for jig rods
Either is good by me! For the kayak it might be better to use rods with eyes going all the way up on the topside so as to avoid the line rubbing against the side of the kayak.
Hi Greg, what type of anchor do you use to hold your kayak? it looks like you are quite far away from the shore
Hey! No anchor, I just drift
I swear thats like 10km off the coast. ever feel sketchy being that far out in a kayak?
Yeah about 10-15km off the coast. My kayak is an extension of myself 😂 I carry all the safety equipment and spare parts etc. so I feel pretty comfortable out there. I have to have 100% confidence when I'm offshore - if I ever feel uncomfortable I'll head back in. It's all about getting the weather right and having the right gear for if/when things go south.
