  • D'Urville Island has to be the best Blue Cod fisheries in New Zealand, and given blue cod are one of the tastiest fish in New Zealand waters, we are looking for a few big blue beauties to take home with us for dinner. After staying the night in the beautiful Okiwi Bay, we spend a long day on the water targeting blue cod. Not only do we catch and release 50+ blue cod, but we also have a few other species on our lines - tarakihi, perch, barracuda and a huge ray! D'Urville Island is a wild area with strong tides, big swells and strong winds for most of the year, but in all our years fishing this location, this trip provided a best conditions we've had on the water here. Our fourth episode of our Big Island Boat Tour focuses on our time in Okiwi Bay and D'Urville Island, but you can watch the earlier episodes of our Big Island Boat Tour on The Angler's Logbook RUclips channel - we have a whole playlist dedicated to the tour. Next week we drive to the Tasman Bay in pursuit of snapper!
    Our BIG ISLAND BOAT TOUR will cover the majority of the South Island, and we will be visiting picturesque fishing towns and filming our experiences to share with you over the next few episodes. We're so excited to bring you this awesome footage, so do us a favour and subscribe to our channel so you don't miss any of the action!
    We drop new videos every week exploring different parts of New Zealand as we go fishing, hunting, travelling and making the most of any other adventure we find along the way.

    Definitely travel to bluff and go to stewart island and go fishing on stewart island. Amazing blue cod that is much bigger than what you're catching and way more abundant

    Nice day, you were very close to a spot that produces BIG snapper (and stingrays by the looks)

      What an awesome country we live in where we can debate such great fisheries! Looking forward to testing out the cod fishing in those spots in the coming years - they’re 2 spots I haven’t fished yet 🤙🏼

      You’re spot on! We kept six between the three of us fishing. It’s great to see the fishery is as good as when we used to fish here 15 years ago before the reduced catch limit.

    Durvil Island is bloody long way short of the best blue cod fishing in NZ!
    It's some of the worst in the South Island.

    • @theanglerslogbook
      @theanglerslogbook  2 года назад +1

      🤣 it can’t be that bad when you’re watching 10-15 large cod fighting over your bait as soon as it drops to 3 metres in 5 metres of water, and we had multiple instances this day where we had 2 cod on one hook. We’ve fished for cod all around the South Island over the last couple of decades, and it’s definitely in the top 3 locations if isn’t the best.

      Spot on. It wouldn’t rate in the top 50 places in the SI. I fish it dozens of times a year.
