The Most AMAZING Work Up Fishing I have ever Experienced! Hauraki Gulf Magic.

Springtime in New Zealands Hauraki Gulf can be nothing short of magic - schools of baitfish invade the Gulf and bring with them pods of Dolphons and Whales. Flocks of Gannets dive bomb from the sky, and schools of predatory fish attack from below - it truly is one of natures great symphonies and gives those who are lucky enough to witness it a rare glimpse into the cycle of life on the Hauraki Gulf. And for the Angler who is fortunate enough to be amongst the action, the Hauraki Gulf Work Up Fishing can be breathtaking.
It has been a dream of mine for a long time to document the magic that unfolds on the Hauraki Gulf during springtime, this season the stars finally aligned and we experienced the Hauraki Gulf at its absolute finest. #BuiltToFish ‪@daiwanewzealand7206‬ ‪@SurteesBoats93‬

[@jacklawson1367]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing that. Fantastic!

[@BuilttoFish]

Thanks for that mate - stoked you liked it!

[@DuckShooter09]

Must be due some more time on the water? Haha Keen as on another episode!

[@BuilttoFish]

Too much time on the water is the problem mate. Plenty coming real soon!

[@DuckShooter09]

@@BuilttoFish Good to hear bro don't blame ya. Really enjoy your content can't wait for more!

[@robinblight4053]

Best video i have seen for a long time. Love to know how many fish you pulled from the sea that day. Absolutely amazing . CHEERS GUYS AND THANKU

[@BuilttoFish]

Glad you enjoyed it! We actually spent more time watching the show than fishing so we only kept enough fish for a feed - very enjoyable though!

[@FNMAD]

Saw your car and trailer in the gulf harbour carpark the day you went out to film this. Unfortunately I was off to work catching the ferry into town so couldnt take my boat out that day but it was a beauty of a day and that area out by Little Barrier is pretty special. Great video. Thank you.

[@BuilttoFish]

Yep it's a great place to fish mate - hopefully you've been getting amongst some of the spring action!

[@kyleryan2788]

ras u legend

[@BuilttoFish]

Hahaha, don't give him too much credit mate!!!

[@timmy1tap678]

I'd be mesmerized just watching the birds and dolphins, much less catching beautiful Snapper..never been able to go out into the ocean on a boat just yet

[@BuilttoFish]

Yeah we were pretty mesmerised by them mate, the fishing definitely took a back seat.

[@marcocapozzella]

Awesome footage guys sitting here in Scotland your making me miss the Gulf and those work ups, will never forget my first work up out by Kawau Island on the slow jigs about 9 years ago i had never witnessed anything like it one of the best days i have ever had on the water and will never forget the action it produced, NZ is a true fisherman's paradise a blessed place, thanks for the upload. Marco :)

[@BuilttoFish]

Thanks Marco, so great to hear you enjoyed the episode and have had the chance to experience the magic yourself! Hopefully you get to come back to NZ and enjoy it again sometime soon.

[@toddrh88]

Insane footage bro 🙌

[@BuilttoFish]

Cheers bro, it was a good day!

[@bernieshore]

The footage at 0:58 is incredible 👌 awesome episode

[@BuilttoFish]

Thanks Bernie, imagone how good the work up fishing is going to be with the new Fujinon Binos!

[@antonriefler9287]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that epic session mate. The drone footage of the Gannets diving is next level. Spring fishing here in the BOP is starting to fire up too!

[@BuilttoFish]

Thanks mate, stoked you enjoyed it - might be time for a BOP adventure by the sounds!

[@mattsmoments7204]

Cool video. Would be great if you put links to some of the lures and gear you're using in the video description.

[@BuilttoFish]

Great idea mate! I have added them now, hopefully they are helpful.

[@madangryfisherman]

Cool vid bro, any thoughts on the watersnake? I've got one for a project i have going.. Rare to see them on nz vids.

[@BlairHellyer]

Amazing footage of the work ups and Gannets going crazy. How do you top a snapper mission after that ?

[@BuilttoFish]

Thanks mate, it is certainly gonna be a tough Snapper mission to top but I have a few tricks up my sleeve...

[@mathewranginui1657]

I love the video but kinda guys using such light gear aye

[@BuilttoFish]

You don't like the light gear mate? It's super fun to use.
