@@SIDEWAYZNZ Yeah definitely bro! Chuck out a line and see what you get. I don't think I've had a day down there without at least catching a few small kahawai.
@@paulglucina1184 welcome to the fam mate! Much appreciated. The bucket I got through mighty ape here in NZ: tinyurl.com/bdeb4etp and the bubbler I use with it these days is one from Rapala, got that through Burnsco Marine: tinyurl.com/5n7z5s25 . Makes a pretty good combo for keeping live bait alive or if you're taking kids fishing and don't really want to keep the fish
@@treasuretrails Will have to give it a go! Went over to Matarangi last year, caught so many kahawai with my dad off the beach. What's the usual over Whitianga side?
Oh absolutely! Don't taste too bad to humans either if treated right, but small kahawai like that definitely make amazing kingfish bait if they're lurking around. Still trying to catch one of those beasts, somehow they've eluded me so far. Thanks for watching mate, and look forward to more content.
Yeah I've gone digging for pipi on slow fishing days, sometimes there's heaps but sometimes it's a bit hard to find decent ones. What kind of jigs do you throw out there?
@@otklfnz yeah Bubba's is my go to when I'm down that way, legends there for fishing supplies and local knowledge. Will have to give that a go, haven't done much jigging for a long while.
@@loonatick0072 yeah mate I find morning/evening there is good - think there's a bunch of rocks along the channel boats use to get into the marina and the snapper hang close by because of the shellfish beds.
@@SkySeka dunno about that mate, I've seen some decent snapper and kahawai caught up and down that beach at times. Especially when the pipi etc are prolific on the sandbars
i ALWAYS SWIM HERE, NEEDA BRING MY RODS SOMETIME.

Great vid! New Sub. Where abouts did you get that bucket? Great bit of kit.

Come try fishing in Whitianga it is the best!

@@Ride_Reel Can catch huge record breaking trevally over here off the beach in whitianga!
@@treasuretrails awesome! Haven't caught a good trev for years, will definitely add that to my list of places for my next road trip.
Mullet, and fresh kahawai, excellent bait..

I like to cast jigs from that very spot. Good pipi’s on that sand bar to your right on the shallow sand there too.

@@Ride_Reel 30-40g micro jigs mate, it is awesome fun. The Catch pocket rockets, see the guys at Bubbas supplies Whangamata

Went at tht second spot December last year 5am got 6 good size snappers in two hours

Fishing there is crap everywhere

Beautiful spot! But 15:31 too long! 😁
@@seaview1997 thanks for watching and the feedback, planning to make some more short form content of beautiful places soon enough.
