I'd never complain about a good snapper session Mate. Beautiful day you had there. I'm very jealous with the shite weather we've had down Wellington way. I feel for you on the one that got away, I was intrigued to see it surface. Ah well, you'll get em next time! Take care Matt, I'm looking forward to the next video ✌️
Hahaha thanks mate. I'm down your ways atm and bugger me it's cold here, hopefully I can showcase your neck of the woods :) Thanks for the comments and tight lines bro
Not getting bored at all. Had a wonderful time watching your fishing as its too cold in Chch at the moment to do much myself. Thanks for your hard work.
It's the rating of the rod, PE stands for polyethylene (braided line) and the number relates to breaking strength. So PE 3-6 means braided line 30-60lb
@@NomadicKayakFishing good grief, you must run your drag at only a fraction of that rating. Surely you’d be destined to turtle otherwise. So where you point the rod and the drag setting must be key? Also, do you any idea what you set your drag to?
I run a minimum of 12kg (30lb) of drag when jigging for kingfish, so long as you keep the rod tip pointed at the bow its no problem. With kingfish it's best to use heavy gear and set the drag as heavy as u can handle otherwise they'll run straight to the reef and break off
I hate when you lose a fish and you know it could have been a new pb looked like a really good one that you lost. Hey I know where your fishing close to home
Hello there bro, I met your parents at a freedom camp they told me about your RUclips! I'm living the same sorta life as you in a similar van with a kayak fishing! I'm just watching one of your videos up north snapper fishing great stuff epic videos and production. In the most respectful way bro I use to be a watersports, white water kayak, canoe and sailing instructor for 7 years and Im hard in perfect efficient paddling. You could use a little coaching on your paddle technique! And there heaps of strokes and bits I could teach you. Id be mean game to do some padding and fishing with you! Even join for a video if you were game. I messaged you on Instagram reply to me there if your interested at all 🤙✌️
hey bro thanks! i know my paddle technique ain't the best, i always get too caught up in the fishing to worry about it lol. haven't seen a message on instagram, maybe try resending it. cheers mate tight lines

Sorry I’m late honey, I was stuck in a cave looking for that massive 30lb snapper!!
Hi Matt, great videos. It's a bugger when the big fish stick it to you after a good fight.
