New subscriber bro. Well done mate. Love your content and love the fact you keep the language pretty kosher so I can watch it with my 7 year old who is mad about fishing .
Hi Desmond! There are plenty of great options for beginner fishing kayaks - I would recommend a Viking Profish 400. Ocean Kayak also make good kayaks, but I am not familiar with their models of kayaks. Jump on the Kayak Fishing NZ Facebook page as lots of fishing kayaks get sold there! Hope this helps. Cheers.
Is that the 7'6" 4-8kg veritas? That's what I've been using and really liking. Was nervous about it being a bit light but I've had a big kahawai run under the yak and it didn't snap and caught a few big snapper on it so far.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the Veritas mate. It's certainly my favourite softbait rod. I use the 6-10kg version which has dealt to plenty of 20lb+ snapper. A lot of the other softbait rods I used in the past couldn't hack it, as soon as you put the pressure on they cracked. Never had that issue with the Veritas.
Nice video as always. Does your audio come straight from the gopro or do you have an external mic? If gopro, which camera do you generally get the audio from?
Thanks mate! Audio coming straight from.the GoPro. Always head cam. Front cam doesn't sound great - being attached to the kayak there is a lot of hull noise. I edit the audio a bit to make it sound better too. Hope this helps 👍🏽
This makes me want to hit kawakawa bay super badly. Looks like a great action packed session and hot bite. Definitely seems very fish high fish activity now, Auckland harbour been super dead recently 🤣
Love the vids bro! Love fishing out at kawakawa bay man it’s so calm there. Just subbed to the channel ❤

Nice bro. Some trying times. My last 3 missions have produced bugger all . We shall keep on trying
Exactly bro, never give up 🤙🏽 at the end of the day I'm just happy to get out for a paddle
Looks very nice out there bro and bugger about the kingfish. No doubt you’ll catch another monster fish soon 🤙
Stunning area. That stretch reminded me a lot of my favourite Northland spots. Too bad there's no crays here 😂 plenty of ika though
Went out from mataitai bay just around the corner from kawakawa, brought home a couple nice pannies good first trip out from a kayak 🤙
Yaahoo! Nice one mate. Welcome to the kayak fishing community 🤙🏽
