Love to see anything ie fishing, harvesting, trapping, cooking, preserving, etc, in NZ. The world is interested. Cheers from Canada. Cheers from Canada
That wave artwork was fantastic with the sunlight showing through
Awesome to see you back Rob! Making good videos is hard work, adding more personal & life style content sounds great! We are not here just for the fishing, we actually really enjoy your company and stories. Another nice day in Coromandel :)
All the best mate!
Oh thanks so much for this and so good to hear the effect I have on many cheers
Oh wow, I was just sitting here thinking about where I was going to launch the yak this weekend and thought of you. Did a RUclips search and found that you are back👌🏼👍🏽 Great to see you back mate
It’s so good to see you back Rob. I’m sorry to hear all the struggles that you’ve been through. Looking forward to see all your new ideas for the videos, these all sounds like good ideas for videos to me! Let us hear your voice on the changes around our ocean!
Thank you appreciate it and cheers for the feedback 👌
Hello Rob, great to see after looking for tips and tricks and seeing SOOO many Big Mouth Bass in dirty rivers rather than views of NZ - finally hooked a good 'un here. Just moved to West coast of Auckland and learning my way around the very different Manukau Harbour but finding some good fish there. Also REALLy pleased to watch anything presented in this friendly and relaxed way on growing, cooking, being more sustainable and just re-connecting with the simpler ways of doing things.
I'm extremely happy to see you back in action on RUclips, awesome.......all the best .....
thank you cheers
I'm stoked to see you back making videos Rob. I need to get back into it aswell 😅 as a fellow tuber I think including other interests you enjoy into content is a great idea. Catch and cooks are a good way to incorporate your vege garden!
Thank you Corey, great feedback and will certainly include veges and seafood, in fact I have just the thing for another clip and some footage I've been sitting on so keep an eye for these cheers
Nice to see you back..
Hi, yeah your on to it. Myself and my friends and family are on a similar journey. Growing vegetables and trying to be more self sufficient. Its a good direction to go after. Cheers for that
It's great to see you back on the water mate. Welcome back bud
Thanks it good to be back cheers
Good to see you back Rob. Cant wait to see the new stuff
Cheers
Hey Rob, somehow missed this video but so glad to seeing you back making videos. I always enjoy your content. Hopefully we'll get to catch up the next time we're up in Coromandel for a little collab.
Hey great to hear from you and yes a colab definitely a great idea cheers team
Good too see you back rob.
Thanks Eugene hope all is well with you and the family cheers
100% agree on bleeding snapper. I’ve also been doing this the last 2yrs and I’m convinced it improves the quality and lasts better in the fridge. I iki my fish before bleeding though.
Awesome and yes will try the iki first cheers
Great news you're back!
Thank you
Good to see videos again. Learnt alot off the old ones when I was starting out. Keep it up
Thanks and awesome that these vids have assisted you cheers
great to see ya back. gardening cooking harvesting food is great to watch so keep them coming. maybe look at a video of harvesting and cooking different seafood
Thank you and appreciate the feedback. Yes the harvest and cook is one that others have also favored cheers
Hey Rob, So great to see you posting vids again, I've missed them from you. I like any DIY so anything you do (fibre glass work, artwork, gardening, rod and reel servicing) would pique my interest, I think the "lifestyle" idea is a good one. Hope things look up for you and we can catch up soon. Cheers Pickie
Cheers David appreciate it and some great ideas cheers
Oh man I'm so happy so happy your back I hope you keep on posting videos and I wish u the best bro
Thats awesome and thank you for the feedback
Woohoo - welcome back Rob. It would be awesome to see all of those types of videos. I would also be keen to see videos about your artwork - that surely deserves a place on your RUclips.
Thanks Greg appreciate some feedback and yes the replicas is also to be added. Great to see you doing well with your channel also mate cheers
Glad to see you’re. Would love to see the lifestyle stuff!
Would love to see more videos explaining what’s going on in our oceans and what we can do about it.
Absolutely part of my plan so watch this space its scary what's planned by those in charge and enough for me to resist voting this year as I don't want to buy into the nonsense cheers
Hello stranger! Awesome to see you back. Look il watch anything you produce, not sure that will help but.
Thanks mate good to know that cheers
Great to see you back! Luv the ganjigs too.. I have been bleeding snapper for a year or 2 now, and it is better eating. I prefer to ike first, put fish out of misery. The heart will keep pumping the blood out for several minutes after ike. Just my thoughts.. See you in November.
Thanks those gan jigs for sure! Thanks for the bleed tip the idea was introduced to me when out fishing with some of the fishing dot net crew and will certainly try your way as I did struggle with letting them sit while bleeding this way especially given I keep aquariums and fish at home. Look forward to catching up in November and will be a goody this year I reckon cheers
Awesome mate!
Glad your,e back...keep it up and I look forward to any new content you come up with
Thanks its good to be back cheers
Great to see you back Rob, keep up the kayak fishing would like to see some land base fishing.
Thanks appreciate the feedback
Yes!!! The best NZ Kayak fishing channel by far. Welcome back. 😊
Thanks that is very humbling cheers
Welcome back rob. Looking forward to the life style videos. I think that’s what people want to see more now days. COVID has lead to people being at home and forgetting what real life interaction feels like. Hence, why people want to see real life style content 🙂
Thanks bro great to hear from you, for sure many have been far to quick in turning there back on the fundamentals of living and its my aim to change this as much as possible, appreciate the feedback cheers
Good on you Rob. As a fisherman and Social Worker I commend you for sharing and expanding. Life as you say is for living. Great to have you back Onehunga Mike
Thank you Mike
Sounds good Rob, I think the direction you are taking is spot on!
Thank you appreciate it
Welcome back dude....onwards and upwards
Cheers
Always appreciate your videos Rob.
Thank you and looking forward to bringing more
I've watched your vids since I started learning how to kayak fish. Still have the rob fort video CD I bought with my first kayak . Mate, you are the original ambassador of kayak fishing in new Zealand , it's good to see you back out. 👍
Thank you and really appreciate these words. Awesome you have one of my DVD's I originally sold 500 of these after the so called experts claimed it wouldn't do that well so thanks again for your support.
Rob, it's great to have you back. I discovered this channel pre-covid when I came to NZ and wanted to start Kayak fishing, your help and advice has been great. We will be heading back to NZ as a family soon (job dependent) and I'd love to see more lifestyle and land based fishing. Open it up, give it a go and enjoy yourself.
Thank you for the feedback, if I helped you discover adventure and kayak fishing then job done as far as I'm concerned, its what drives me to make these and why it will continue cheers
Your tutorials helped me and my dad so much, when we were learning to fish from a kayak. So thanks a ton Rob 🙌🙌 Really good to see you back on RUclips. Even if you post different content, we will still watch your cideos for sure🤙
Thanks, that is really awesome appreciate your thoughts cheers
I think it's a great idea. Check out clay tall stories, he does a bit of kayak fishing, hunting, gowing veges etc. It is my favorite type of videos to watch
Cheers
Great to see you back, yes totally agree with you and comments on lifestyle, ever since me and glen moved north and grown more fruit and veges, trying to live the permaculture life we have really enjoyed it. Getting back to nature with hunting and fishing, knowing where it all comes from is good, great to see your back
Hey Craig thanks and yes it looks like you guys are doing well with your lifestyle change which anyone can make happen if they put in the effort cheers
Welcome back mate! Love the Kai sovereignty message!
Cheers bro bigs ups to you also mate
Missed you mate. Make vids what your heart tells you.
Thank you and certainly will now the passion is back cheers
Heya bud, long time since we chatted mate, Dallas here… sorry to hear covid screwed everything mate, good to see your diversity into other stuff, feedback from me would be, maybe showcase more of your artwork and what you do there, and yeh fishing of course maybe where you fish and how you pick a spot, clothing etc ( I know it’s sharkskin) but just in general and yes your gear, otherwise just keep doing what you’re doing mate!👍
So good Rob, delighted to have you back!
Thanks appreciate it cheers
Hey Rob, so stoked to see you back!! I love your approach to fishing and life. Its just great to keep getting the message out there about sustainably and respectfully gathering from Tangaroa. I love anything Kayak fishing related, but I love seeing some of the great places around Coromandel (and further afield maybe?), I love any gear reviews/maintenance, any wildlife you come across is always great to see. Yip, definitely food topics. Its been way too long since we have been up, if the planets align I might get up there with the boys in a week or 2, will definitely drop in if we make it! Thanks as always for everything you do. Ben from Pirongia.
Awesome Ben appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoy the vids, hope to catch up soon cheers
Good to see you back Rob. I have taken up kayak fishing thanks to your video's. I keep will looking out for your posts. I also bleed all my 🐟 we do it for other things so why shouldn't we do it with fish.
Thanks and really awesome to hear which is what drives me to keep doing this cheers
Mean to see you back Brother Rob. I think personally what I dislike about some fishing channels is that they talk too much about fishing and fishing gear rather than just filming how great it is to be out on the water. I also enjoy the yarns especially :D Excited to see more content
Thanks bro really appreciating all the feedback after putting it out there and very humbled by the support from everyone who commented here and on social media. Look forward to hearing more from you on future videos.
Good to see you back. I definitely enjoy the lifestyle videos as well as pure fishing. It’s all part of it and coromandel is the perfect place to make those sorts of videos.
Thanks and appreciate your feedback, lifestyle and fishing is definitely on the menu for future videos along with my home Coromandel
Good insightful view of life always enjoyed your video. Bought a lot of gear over the years after watching you mate! Keep the good work Rob you are a legend.
Thanks a heap and great to hear my gear choices have assisted you in making good decisions when it comes to gear cheers
Welcome back Rob
Hey Joe thanks mate
Good to see you again rob. I think your spot on with your thinking regarding lifestyle videos, I personally love my vege garden!
Thanks Jason appreciate the feedback cheers
Good to see you back Rob. Interested to watch all sorts of content from you. I have also started bleeding my snapper only way to go. Big difference. Cheers
Thanks and awesome to know you are enjoying the snapper bleed also cheers
Welcome back mate good to see your well. I love ok forward to seeing your lifestyle side of things. Covid pushed me in a similar direction...gardening and living off the land.
Thank you, yes covid has certainly made many rethink there lives and its great to hear you are spending time in the vege patch cheers
Good on you Rob, great video I always learn a lot. Keen to see more technique type videos, what happens in the minutes before the fish is caught
Thanks again
Jeremy
Thanks appreciate you get something from the vids and its something I try to do so will certainly keep it going and add more often cheers
A pleasant surprise to see a new video from you, stoked! Your plans sound good, looking forward to it. I personally would love to learn more about targeting kingies from the kayak, have seen some of your previous videos on the topic but hungry for more :)
Thank you, yes kingfish are something I enjoy targeting and this year hasn't been that conducive for this and some of the areas I target them. The bronzies are also a problem now so I will do something different than just mechanical jigging especially now I have a bad shoulder from painting art for 40 years which limits my time doing so, watch this space cheers
It's great to see you back mate, could you please share some safety tips regarding kayak fishing in future videos?
Especially for new starters who have strong ambitions but without much experience. Thanks
Thank you. Yes safety is an area really lacking these days in most videos and as a big promoter of kayak safety I think it's important to keep reiterating this, especially given the recent incident cheers
Welcome back Rob. Well done on weathering the "COVID Storm" and the effects it had on you = great show of resilience and adaptability. Love all your videos - I'm just on final prep for getting back into kayak fishing and taken a lot of lessons from your vids (and purchased some of your items too). New direction and new content = lots of scope there - perhaps look to include some content for those younger members who have no-one in their life to show them how to forage for a feed emphasizing you don't need expensive $5K+ kayak + $3+K gear/setup to get a feed. Subjects like minimal gear and how (and when) to make a fire on the beach, to scoop some white-bait, to forage - what sandy beaches offer and what rocky areas offer - catch and cook up some crabs, pipi, cockles, seaweed, how to site and construct an overnight shelter and surf cast or rock-pool forage - many young ones would if they knew how and would drag them away from the "device" and the fish n chip shop. Go well Rob.
Thanks and all very valid suggestions which i will adapt as much as possible cheers
Welcome back, look forward to seeing everything you have to offer - it's been too long
Thanks, two years was a decent break however its certainly given me time to reflect and get some new direction cheers
I'm not a fan of kayak fishing, more of a land based guy, but do still really like watching your videos, and would like to see more, I feel the same way about everything after covid, get out there and do what you enjoy, life is for living !
Thanks and that feedback is gold and really appreciate your honesty cheers
Welcome back :)
Thanks
Welcome back. Looking forward to the lifestyle focused content.
Thank you bro I'm sure you will enjoy my lifestyle content, what till you see my fish tanks 🙂
I think your plans and some lifestyle videos are great ideas. This video is positive, informative and inspirational kōrero.
Thanks so much and cant wait to share my lifestyle which I know many will enjoy and get a lot from cheers
Awesome video brother :)
Thanks bro cheers
Hi Rob - awesome to see another vid, and I now use Gan jigs from your earlier vids.
I’d be really interested in the self sufficiency how to vids ie growing veggies, fertilisers from seaweed and fish frames etc…
Best wishes
Thank you great feedback and yes all those things are part of the process. I bury fish remains in the garden also so will certainly bring this type of content cheers
Hey Rob it's really great to see you back! I've always enjoyed your kayak videos but as the creator of those videos, you have to be happy making them. Personally, I'd enjoy seeing a bit of variety in terms of subject matter. Maybe you could try a mix of 25% Kayak fishing, 25% land based fishing, 25% home life including gardening and artwork and maybe the other 25% could be traveling to new fishing locations, camping and catch n cook stuff. Don't put too much pressure on yourself mate. You've got to enjoy making the content otherwise what's the point. I've always found your work to be educational and entertaining so i look forward to seeing more of you in the future.
Thank you and all very valid suggestions which I will certainly take on board. I will do my best to find a balance and try to mix these up to bring different subject with each video cheers and really appreciate your feedback
Hi Rob, It's your channel put up what you want. I recently changed my channel and added "& Adventure" to it, to incorporate things other than kayak fishing. Do what feels right.
cheers
Great to see ya getting back into it! Love your content. Everyone should be growing their own vegetables as they are way better tasting with a lot more nutrients. It’s not as hard as you think.
Thank you really appreciate it. 100% on the veges and once you get the results its a no brainer to grow your own food and know where it comes from cheers
gr8 to see u return haha i do agree with the concern of carbon foot prints. i always try to b careful myself as best i could try not to be wasteful and such.
Nice one, yes we have to do our part to help preserve what makes this country so special. Most kayak anglers are very good with the environment cheers
Yes the forts back
Thanks appreciated
Any time just be ur self on ya channel an remember y u started fishing 🎣 an nobody will doubt the thing u love to do looking forward to the uploads cheers the capchur naychur crew
@@capchurnaychur6614 cheers
Mate, I have always liked your approach to videos, you are always unrushed. Have you thought about some freshwater stuff. I only fish vicariously due to my health sp whatever you do, i will watch. Looking at probably autumn next year before I can kayak again.
I concur regarding the Gan jigs too. #thatkayakfuy
Thanks for the feedback and definitely be doing freshwater in the mix, all the best with your health and hope you mend sooner than later cheers
Tomatoe plant's a rob😂 shureee
Choice!
cheers
As much as I would like to hear about your gear you use and been using for years, the sponsorship would help you out
Thanks it really appreciated
Can absolutely confirm Gan jigs do the business, ask my partner Jan who frequently catches fish above 50cm.
Haha thanks mate and I know exactly where you got those jigs from cheers
P R O M O S M 💐
Almost like the govt reaction to covid was the problem, but what do I know.
Could be, cheers
