- Hey everyone, this episode we leave the High country and arrive to the wet windy coast at Rakaia. Nice to plug into power and Toby breaks the fishing fast, by finally catching us a fish, which we all enjoyed eating.

Just thinking back to my own childhood, these are the kinds of times that would shine in my memory. Still think back to early camping days, waking up shivering in my sleeping bag, but warming up to my mom and dad talking over the sound of frying bacon and eggs. What absolute marvelous experiences for your children! Bruce and Otis
Oh mate, your making me feel hungry now... bacon and eggs... This will be a hard life style to change from, definitley enjoying it... Looking forward to some longer days now though.
Well done Toby on catching the fish. Another great video thank you.
Cheers mate, he let me know about it as well. "Hey Dad, do you want me to teach you how to catch a fish..." cheeky child.
Well done Toby! I wouldn't have thought of putting brown sugar in.
I think thats what they do when they smoke Kahawai, it did give a nice little sweetness to it thats for sure, was good.
Well done catching the Trout Toby. We put a couple of lemon slices and a bit of butter inside the trout before wrapping it in tin foil. A little tip scrape the line of blood off the back bone before cooking use a teaspoon. Great video 👍
Thanks for that mate, the good old tea spoon aye. We'll be looking forward to catching some Kahawai off the beach on the West Coast hopefully.
Great video. Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos. Its great to follow you all on this amazing journey.
Oh your so welcome I really enjoy making them, Its a cool hobby.
Im enjoying your families travels. We’ve moved to Australia and are missing lovely nz and our Toyota coaster. Great memories watching 👍👍👍
Oh awesome guys, hope your having some great adventures across the ditch. No place like home though aye.
Well done Toby fish looked delicious. Hope you catch some more. Pies looked yummy too. Enjoy the snow. Travel safe 🥶🌞
Pies were awesome something that seems to have sky rocketed in price, good old couplands provide a cheap options of those of us on the road who are willing to warm them ourselves... Bring on more fish alright.
As usual Mike awesome video you give us such a wonderful new view of New Zealand from the air. Toby is once again the man. Congrats on catching a trout Toby. Team Kawerau
Thanks Guys, that salt spray in the air made for some great scenary aye. Toby is the winner winner once again alright. Hope your staying dry and warm up there in the bay.
@@leopardsgowild the weather has been good for a while now. No rain not to cold and sunny. You guys take care.
Another great video! Well done on the troutToby 😀
I think he was pretty surprised himself bring on fresh fish on the west coast
Pan fried trout in butter, garlic and lemon. Yum.
Yum I love anything with Garlic and butter, Soph is dairy free unfortunaltey... We need to catch 2 so we can do a garlic butter one and a diary free one...
awesome. rakaia huts and mouth is one sweet spot
Yea there are some free camping spots on the otherside of the river, but after 6 days off grid we were keen for a powered site and at $15 bucks its a bargin.
Some great East Coast experiences before your journey through the mountains, snow and off to the Tasman sea. Well done on the Trout Toby. Looked delicious and the perfect way to cook it. A bit of lemon, herbs and butter goes well too. If it's a big fish I sometimes remove the fillet to fit it in the BBQ or oven. But usually just gut and cook whole.
You captured some awesome drone footage there.
Beautiful evening sunshine aye, and the rough sea made all that beautiful golden salt spray. That fish was pretty awesome, Can you cold smoke trout like they do Salmon? does it taste similar?
@@leopardsgowild absolutely, smoked similar to Salmon or Kāhawai
It's not quite as oily but comes up very nice. Brown sugar, herbs and a bit of salt
I've been known to make a smoker out of a cardboard box. Wood chips in a tinfoil package heated until smouldering. Cold smoke and then finish in the oven
That sounds like an awesome idea, I love the cold smoked raw YUM
how lucky your kids are ,, this is living👊
Yea this was like a back up spot for us for power, the kids really enjoyed it though... nice price at $15 a night
Ka pai Toby great fishing 🎣 great video Whanau keep it going ❤
Cheers Brother Charles, need to teach that boy to enjoy eating his catch now, then he'll really be into it.
hey Leopards! great episode as always!!! definitelyrespect to the ocean, its awesome ur getting ur kids familiar with it ,,,, dude those birds were so cool!!!! id try to get like 8 or 10 to follow me and do all my errands!!!!!!! i love the New Zealand names for stuff theyre so epic lol.... great fish Toby!!! i dont like to eat fish either, or gross onions 😂🤢.. cant wait flr the next 1, see yah soon !!!!!
HA HA, grose Onions, well I think Toby likes onions, especially fried onion rings. That ocean was pretty rough I wouldn't want to see anyone out there in it... We got snowed in over the weekend, we've got a good video coming up.
@@leopardsgowild ya dude I'm pumped. Never seen anyone hunt for snow like u guys 🤣
Glad you caught that fish Toby, maybe you can catch a Kahawi on the coast, the Mokihinui River at Gentle Annie is a great spot for this, looking forward to seeing the excitement when it snows in your next adventure
Yea mate looking forward to trying for some Kahawai, I see @Gallichantrucklife have been catching plenty up at kaikoura. There was a lot of dissapointment before we finally got that snow, took till the last night..
@leopardsgowild yeah Marcel has been reeling them in, most important thing with Kahawi is to bleed them immediately
Yip that flesh goes pretty bloody otherwise.
Fantastic family fun. You guys are great. 🎣 well done on catching the trout Toby.
He has made me hungry to catch a fish, I don't know the last time I caught a fish I could keep and eat...
Fantastic video Mike, so wish we could go into that area but sadly with the dog it’s a no go 😢 well done Toby for the fish, now to teach dad how to fish 🤣
Dogs are allowed mate, this if off the website...
Dogs are welcome at the discretion of the campground manager and must be under effective control at all times.
@@leopardsgowild superb will need to have a look when we head back that way 👍
what a fish
It reignited the fishing bug.. hopefully we hit some on the West Coast
*Well done Toby, good sized fish that was. Also, so gutted you didnt film the cow scenario hahaha. Cooked that fish pretty well, I woudlnt know where start, y fish is normally deep fried in batter.*
Oh man these bloody aggressive cows, last time we didn't stick around long enough to be charged at... lots of trails in NZ go through farms so it can be common to walk through the animals. Yum battered fish, I don't thinkbit works as well with fresh water 🐟 🐠 🎣 fish. Hope ya'll have had a good summer, I'm expecting some videos soon of your holidays.
@@leopardsgowild yes wont be long. We are going on Saturday, excited 😁🇲🇽
Fantails will often follow you to catch the 'bugs' you disturb as you are walking along.
clever little birds and here we all were thinking they were friendly, they are just after a feed lol.
Well done Toby. I was expecting a kahawai not a nice trout. The fantails are looking for insects that are disturbed by your foot steps.
Toby was as happy as I was, so nice to eat some fresh fish and our first time doing fresh water... Interesting about the fantails, no wonder they follow us so far along the trail, smart little creatures.
The fantail is in fact following to grab the small flying insects that are disturbed as you walk along. True fact.
I find that so cool. I did like the fact they were just friendly though ha ha.
Bro....
Hand in your man card!
Hunt gather provide!
My family need to hungry, they don't like sea food, venison, I only need to catch good for me and Riley lol... hopefully catch some fish up here at the top of the West Coast
@@leopardsgowild 🤣🤣 we're watching..... do venison burgers... everyone likes burgers!
on the otherwise of the river is a great little community and you camp there for very little money.
Yea we were heading that way, but some other traveller said this was a great spot, after 6 nights off grid it was nice to come back into cell service, wifi and unlimited power and hot showers lol... I forgot to mention in the video it's $15 a night at this site for a powered site.
Is that child actually yours!!!!😆😆I just start to think I have Toby work out and boom he comes back with something that seems completely out of caricature to what I thought he was like. "I want to catch the fish but not eat them." Says no one ever. 😆Never mind the fact of lets carry what looks like a kilo rock at times just to throw it off the bridge. 😆
ha ha, he's his own person alright, a very loveable kid. He's enjoyed some great stone throwing today and bridge dropping...
@@leopardsgowild Oh good. I am so glad that he is keeping up with tradition. I don't know what would happen if I don't regular videos of Toby dropping rocks off of bridges. 😆
Hes getting a pretty big throw now as well, i'm impressed at how far some of those rocks fly...
@@leopardsgowild all I can say is don't stop letting those children be themselves. 😇
Brown sugar like that?!? What a way of ruining your health! Try soya sauce & chopped spring onions
We had carrot sticks and hummus for pudding
Showers at that spot are $1 for 5mins
But it doesn't take 50c coins
Who does?
Mt Somers 2x 50c coins for only 4 minutes... So you need about 30 coins for a shower
@@leopardsgowild 😂
