This weekend I will buy one of these sabiki rigs! Thank you for this video, yours and a couple I found of people catching mackerel off Wellington harbour have helped me to figure out where to start with fishing! I’m a student and fish costs too much to have been in my diet since moving to welly, so I thought what’s stopping me from going out and catching my own? Think I’ll start with mackerel since they’re in the harbour and apparently pretty edible!
Hey I really enjoyed this video. I'm just now starting to get into fishing, this is just the kind of video I need! Thanks a lot for the work you put into this video
Videos have come along way mate!! Haha I always carry about 15-20 packets of sabikis at all times as if I can get a livey it's away with all the snapper gear and out with the liveys every, single, time hahahahha
im not surprised haha the sabiki imitates the kahawai's natural food source which is krill. not to mention they seem to prefer tiny baits wen they r very picky
hi thank you for ur comment. the hook size i used for pilchard that day was a size 8: makes it a lot easier for the fish to get hooked up. for yellow eyed mullet its the smaller mullets that will attack the sabiki rig(when it's baitless) and only the bigger ones will go for the bait. hope that helps
thank you for ur comment n support. tbh there is no such thing as 'best area' it all depends on the day condition and the tide. i fished in many unlikely places n managed to get some good fish on the right conditions.
Hey Everybody. CC/Subtitles are now available for this tutorial. Hope you enjoy watching this video plus my other tutorial videos.

the sabikis really comes in handy haha especially the spares
Yes, those hooks do hurt like crazy!!
I hooked myself accidentally today. 😂
oh man haha
Hi Peter just wondering which wharfs in Auckland do you fish off?
there are lots of wharves to drive like around tamaki dr, cornwallis mangere bridge and queens wharf
Had fun with my first sabiki last night, I admit was really fun catching and releasing the small mackerel then waiting to hook a big fish
haha really addictive wen it goes well
Cool video mate, enjoy watching your videos. Very good information and well put together. Cheers from up North!
thank you for your comment
nice one bro, I usual cut my sabikis in half it makes them easyer to handle and less tangles.
haha thats a pretty handy method to do. especially for children cause less hooks means less risks of getting hurt as well as tangles lol
2 for the price of one, also easy to unhook fish 🐠
A great way to catch bait fish for livies. Nice drawing of wharf. :)
lol haha thank you
I caught a big kahawai on those hooks 😂

Excellent video bro. Just wanna ask, what is the weight of your sinker/weight?.
hello thank you for your comment. since i was using small/lightweight rods I was using between 2 - 3 ounce sinkers.
What size hooks do you recommend for catching pilchards or yellow eyed mullet?
hi thank you for ur comment. the hook size i used for pilchard that day was a size 8: makes it a lot easier for the fish to get hooked up. for yellow eyed mullet its the smaller mullets that will attack the sabiki rig(when it's baitless) and only the bigger ones will go for the bait. hope that helps
Basic_Fishing cheers.
Good tutorial thx
thank you. hope it will help you catch fish haha
Hi Peter. I am a big fan of you. But I have a question, for wharf fishing, which one is the best area?
thank you for ur comment n support. tbh there is no such thing as 'best area' it all depends on the day condition and the tide. i fished in many unlikely places n managed to get some good fish on the right conditions.
were those really pilchards u were catching, I thought they were a deep water fish
lol yea they were. i was surprised myself haha that bridge was full of surprises during the days wen it was opened
That water looks mad nasty.
i've seen worse conditions lol
