wow alan, well deserved, the second i saw the notification i grabbed the popcorn and started watching, amazing videos and skills, keep going man your the best fishermen ever!
Wow! It really doesn’t get any better…yak fishing in 50m at one of the most stunning locations on earth, landing monster Snapper…and not getting sharked! The weather only adds to the drama 😉 Congrats Alan.
So cool. I wish I could go fishing like that it seems so unreal you’re living my dreams. I just caught my first fish of the kayak the other day. Keep it up Alan I love your videos!!!
Such a magical spot and awesome experience on the BH, every keen kayak fisherman should do at some point. Loved my trip, looks like you guys found the magic patch where the snaps come up from 50m to take softbaits as they drifted down crazy to watch on the sounder... great footage!
Thanks so much, it really was a magical experience, and it's definitely a trip I'll never forget. We battled some pretty challenging conditions but thankfully that morning before heading home they were switched on and a great patch with many big fish.
amazing trip, awesome fish loved evey bit of it,thanks for for putting this vids up ,can only dream of trips like this, way to old to do that type of fishing,so great to see how its done thanks:)
Thanks so much, yeah there certainly were some challenging moments to filming this one. The rain was relentless, the storms came through which were a lot worse off camera and the sharks were plentiful, but it was an amazing experience.
Absolutely AMAZING ADVENTURE! Glad you got to live this memorable experience. We've been eagerly following for the past few weeks (even more than the regular content, but this is NEXT LEVEL) We watched Byron Tea Hill fish a similar but definitely felt more personal watching your videos.
Thanks so much !! I really appreciate the kind comments. Really wanted to share this experience and show viewers all the different elements of it from the travel, the location, the scenery, the catches and the techniques whilst taking it all in and learning myself. It was a wonderful experience and i'm so glad you followed and enjoyed it. Hopefully, there will be more stuff like this next year and will also try and include some of the guests and banter on the boat which was also next level.
Yeah, I was stressing about the weather. It got a lot worse off camera too. But when the massive snapper was on the bite it was just incredible, despite the non stop rain and sharks
This was a recent trip to NZ you can see the start of the trip which has all the details on where we went and the plan ruclips.net/video/KIMm9rbISB4/видео.html hope that helps
The plan was to jig for kings at Arid Island the following day. Unfortunately, the weather turned very nasty and we had to cancel the trip a few days early. Might be a good excuse to go back one day and chase kings.
Yeah, those snapper were massive. The gear used was a Catch Pro Series 4-8kg rod, Shimano Stradic SWB 4000 reel, 16lb Tasline and catch 6" curltails. They worked amazingly
Amazing catches, mate. What a beautiful place to fish (despite the weather)!!! Would love to do a trip like that one day

I'm planning on going out tomorrow for flattys at Mornington I got lures by watching your flatty video 👍
Awesome, hope you get onto some good fish! and hope you enjoyed this vid
Well, I think you've had a most wicked day. Dodgy weather is the best 😅
Yeah, I was stressing about the weather. It got a lot worse off camera too. But when the massive snapper was on the bite it was just incredible, despite the non stop rain and sharks
nice catches
Thanks so much, it was a truly amazing experience!
Monster reds not many places left like that that dont get alot of fishing pressure these days.
Yeah agreed, it was incredible. I've spent a lifetime fishing melb and PPB so to go to an untouched place like this was a dream
That's mad!
Thanks !!
If i could get one of even half that size I would be stoked.
Thanks !! Yeah they were unbelievable sizes
What sounder were you using?
Lowrance Elite FS 7's which worked so well in those depths with standard transducers
fishing massive
good fish
Thanks !!
is that in Australia or NZ and great video man.

out of all the spots on the camera, the rain droplet was covering your face 😂😂😂
Alan, any particular reason why you’re fishing with white-colored braid? Does its color matter really?
Much respect, but you had your reward for effort.
Thank you, yeah was a punishing trip but so rewarding at the same time. A few hairy and scary moments but some unforgettable catches.
Why dont you go for kingys? If you have the heavier gear

Get a weight on any of them ?
what type rod and reel unreal their not snapper they are tanks
Yeah, those snapper were massive. The gear used was a Catch Pro Series 4-8kg rod, Shimano Stradic SWB 4000 reel, 16lb Tasline and catch 6" curltails. They worked amazingly
First
Hope you enjoyed it. Some good catches in this one.
If you had kept on live baiting you would have caught kingfish
