Cheers for another great video Mark, these keep me going. Reminds me of winter fishing on the Tongariro dipping the rod in the river too unfreeze the guides so you could cast and a quick dip of the reel after hookup to get rid of the ice and ensure it hadn't been jammed with ice. Thanks for the mention Mark, life still throwing curve balls. Cheers Neil
Thanks for sharing, Mark! Some good trout well done, well worth the mission. I was out yesterday on a estuary with some pleasing success. Always great to be on the water, cheers.
Hi m8..thanks for the mention. Your one tuffmothertrucker..working up that neck of the woods last week..minus -8 overnight ..turned diesel to jelly and excavator wouldn't run.. keep up the missions so the rest of us have something decent to watch .bring on opening day and some spring hatchs ..track you down and catch up before then maybe. Churs bro ..
@ShaneGroome Yea bud, had a great early spring session on the river last year, the fish were taking off the top, if I can work out how to message you I'll flick you some details
Good on you, Mark, for braving the elements. Trying to change up rigs with numb fingers isn't an easy or pleasant task. But I always say good things come to those who make the effort and what clonking good browns they were. With the rather icy temperatures, I'd say that may have had a fair part to do with why your GoPro was turning itself off when it was. They don't like it too hot or cold I had found. That's why I've since changed my type of camera equipment over the last season or 2 and just recently upgraded for the new season ahead, which I'm looking forward to taking it out. Thanks for the mention there to mate 👌
Wish we had some winter rivers open down here. Only get a couple of hundred metres near the mouth :^( The lakes are OK but don't have the same appeal. GL for September!
@@waitaki_fly Cheers Paul, I have a couple of options but prefer this river, lakes are one thing I should target more over winter, perhaps September!!!!🤔

Great icy-finger fishing Mark. Your minimum operating temperature is quite a bit lower than that Go Pro!
😂, thanks Paul, may brave a day in September, hope the temp may be a little more finger friendly 😊
These trout have nice faces!👍
Thanks, I Agree😊
