I love that you respect the fish and the environment they live in , great on you . the US need more anglers like yourself !! best shore fishing Vid I've ever watched
Thanks mate I've tried finding this info on dozens of fishing videos .bet your a gun at work aswell cheers
An excellent overview. Thanks for posting.
cheers bro ive been waitnig for a vid like this...very informative...thanks digi fish.....
Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Will be doing some more soon on set ups for setting up for Land Based Game - LBG for kingfish, sharks, tuna marlin etc...
Good on ya mate, a very responsible fisherman
awesome video lol i would go for spinning reel any day: easier to use and cast. but if i had to pick an overhead i'll definitely use the pen squall 15 or the okuma Cortez
Great vid mate. Been loving all the content you have been putting out. The rock fishing for snapper in NZ puts our australian fish to shame. Has actually inspired me to do a month on the north island targetting snapper in 2018. Cheers
Thanks - good luck!
hey man awesome vid you've really encouraged me so much I have started a youtube Chanel myself with my first hunting vid and a far north fishing vid coming soon.
Excellent info clip
Any forthcoming video on Slide bait and the knots used fro LBG fishing. been following your videos. really awesome and instructive !!!
Thanks, I have some knot video footage I have to edit and put together, I plan to do slide baiting but need some better footage of captures....
Im only just starting out surf cast fishing again, i bought 40LB mono, but not much range, thanks for the tips, i might return back to 20LB or 25LB
A lot of guys have switched to braid for surfcasting, but a plenty of guys still use mono for rock fishing....
I like 50/50 BRAID to MONO. I’m a MONO guy, but I do spool my first half of my reel with braid, to gain “yards” of available line, for those “big ones”. I use a “DOUBLE UNI KNOT” to tie the two together. I have more success in windy conditions casting MONO (BAITCASTER), and have lost A LOT fewer fish, while fishing structure with MONO. The braid cuts to easy in my opinion.
50/50 can be a great set up, so you just change the mono when it wears out. The braid will last a long time this way too.....
Hi i have a 11 foot rod and penn spinfisher 6500 reel i have 50 pound braid on the reel is that a good set up for fishing of the rocks
You'll definitely catch fish although 50 pound braid is more suited to kingfish. 30lb braid is a bit more sensitive for detecting bites. Your set up will still work without a doubt.....
Hi Scott, are you familiar with shore jigging? how effective has it been for you? the suitability of the reel high-, low or power gear reel? cheers
Yes, I have a video coming out soon on shore jigging. You need the right location especially if you want your lure to get decent hang time in the water column. It's been ok, good for hitting a spot that cant be reached by a cast bait. It also covers a fair amount or area. Some days still difficult to beat bait. Any reel that retrieves around 100cm or more per turn of the handle works fine.
I have a okuma cortez reel and cortez rod the only problem is its 6 foot and is miles too short when I fish off the rocks. what kind of rods do you recommend for overheads?
There's not a lot in the market for overhead reels in the 10ft length. You will have to do a little hunting, I would suggest you flick an email to Marine Deals or Go Fish to see what they have, also there will be options with salmon rods -try Complete Angler in Christchurch - they can be expensive but beautiful rods. Another option , if you have a bit of time to hunt one down, the Kilwell Rocky / Jellytip 8ft 10-15kg rods are awesome. There might be some shops that have them in stock otherwise look at Trademe, there is one on there at the moment, at time of posting. The other option is to take your reel into a shop and try it on a spin rod - sometimes the guides are configured well enough to suit overheads too. Caught snapper up to 18lb on a spin rod/overhead reel set up so they still work. Maybe try the Shimano vortex 10ft 10-15kg rod first if this is the route you want to take...
I have 20 pound mono line on my 6500 Diawi what would you suggest use for a leader off the rocks or beach ?
depends on how rocky the area is that you're fishing, how likely you are to encounter a big fish and how shy the fish are - 40lb would be a good start. If you are fishing in a spot that has a lot of pressure during the day then maybe go down to 30lb if you're not getting much action. In the Far North in remote spots where Im likely to encounter big fish I use 60lb.
hey digi what do you recommend for bait runners the thunnus or baitrunnner.
Cheers
Thunnus is Ci4 and nice and light and have the better featured gearing etc compared to the Ocea and D series baitrunners - buy the Thunnus if you can afford it, if you buy the D series or Ocea series, just look after it and you'll do well with those reels as well.
awesome thanks
Is the first rod a Silstar Crystal Powertip? By coincidence I just picked up the 10 foot version of this rod and also a Thunnus reel to go with it, especially for the baitrunner feature. I've found, a lot of the time Snapper like to pick up the bait and swim away with it and it's hard to get drag levels right. I've had good luck with the Crystal Powertips lately, got a 75cm Snapper on a lowish tide on sunset in knee high water about a month ago, on the 7 foot 2-5kg version with 12lb line and I was lucky to hook it in the soft part of the lip. Also got really lucky that it didn't take me onto the rocks. But I want to try some fishing off rockwalls and have some more stopping power for setting the hook, and hopefully the 10 foot version will give some good cast distance and work better with the heavier line. Have really enjoyed watching your videos, cheers.
It's similar to the Crystal tip but it's actually an ABU garcia rod....
Ahh.. interesting, will have to look into those.
Love the channel maye
hay digi fish can u make a vid on using diffrent types of sinkers, for tides please?
I can, I have a few other videos I have to edit and make first - will think about how best to produce it, what kind of info are you looking for?
DIGITAL FISH - Content that catches what kind of weight sinker to use in strong tides, and which types of sinkers are best for any situations... cheers for repling back digi fish...much appreciated. keep up the great work and awesome fishing....
Cheers, ok will come up with a script and a concept for the video, it may be a few months sorry as I have quite a few other videos to edit before then but I will put it on the list for sure...
thanks again digifish.. cheers.
Im am 12 and im on my mums account and i have been wanting to do fishing since10 i live right next to a beach will lots of rocks that go out really far i thought since i now have a surfcaster rod maybe i shoupd try it out but i cant affird the right bait for 8t so im wonder if i could use shellfish?
Yes, mussels and pipis are good bait. Catching some small fish like mackerel or piper can also work. Look for some patches of sea weed to fish near, as it gets dark and as it gets light are good times to fish - maybe take your mum along :) good luck...
Great video Scott, thanks again. P.s. Where is this location??
There's a few different locations in the vid but it was recorded at The Noises.
Hey bro, what line you using on your azores reel?
One spool had 25lb mono and the other 65lb braid
@@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches cheers thanx mate, just got me an 80s and the line that comes in the box seems a bit light, might give the 65lb braid a go.
Can you use fluorocarbon as mainline?
too expensive
Were did you buy your 10 foot fishing rod from
Coopers Beach Sports shop some years ago.
How would a 6-10kg 9ft spinning rod do landbased?
Yeah sounds good - may depend on how rough the terrain is eg how high off the water you're fishing, how many obstacles, how high the waves are washing up the rocks... plenty of places to fish that kind of rod.
DIGITAL FISH - Content that catches I fish the west coast over oyster beads just past the oyster beads is a channel.
Hmmm if you can get away with horsing fish and gear over the oyster beds, it would work but if you have to play fish you will lose a lot of fish/gear....may depend on the stage of the tide too....oyster beds can claim a lot of gear so if you're ok with that.....
are u going for marlin off the rocks still?
Yeah, still trying although I don't have as much time as I used to. Not sure if I will get off the rocks this season unfortunately.
DIGITAL FISH - Content that catches yea can be like that some years,I Wana see one caught off the rocks here this year hopefully be cool.
What size rod is that ??
The rod for the spinning reel is 10ft, the rod for the overhead reel is 7'6"
fishing is an expensive hobbies. DANG
Nah not true, depends how smart you buy and use
50lb to 65lb coated braid is a must or else you'll lose every single rig on every single cast
Hmmmm for targeting snapper, kahawai and trevally 20-30lb is enough. Been fishing 20-30lb braid for the last 8+yrs and lost few rigs. My leader gives up before the braid 80% of the time, and many trips I lose no gear at all. Landed snapper up to 7kgs on 30lb braid. The coating is to help with the casting, it will eventually wear off....still fishes ok.
Thank you for your service 🫡
