This is a dream that I have always wanted to see and carry out myself - The best New Zealand clip that overseas fishers would give their eye teeth for. You Sir have done remarkable things for the far north that I hoped would remain secret. Please keep them coming. From a bloke that is just getting a handle on 'smashed' 'Sick' & 'Bust up' The ONLY disappointment would be how the camera does not have a polarized lens and we as the viewer cannot see what you can see. Great how you were able to show the true depth of the water with your paddle and how remarkable there are still places in NZ that have been basically untouched. A snapper of 8 kilos takes about 40-50 years to get to that size and its so nice to see you return them back to the nursery. I know from experience that a snapper needs to be just over 40 cm as a cooking fish and anything else is not so nice. Great Great clip and again thankyou for your efforts and sharing 🤩One day I will get back to the far north and I am definitely going to work out a way to experience just what you have filmed.
This looks like a fantastic opportunity to cast a crab or shrimp pattern. So much fun fly fishing for snapper in these kinds of settings. Thank you for the beautiful footage.
Good to see this again William, we used to camp up there 50 years ago and you could see the big snaps boring for shellfish even further up the harbour……cool vid. P.
@@danielboy3594 there is no camp ground, when your in this part of the country and your family has been there for 100 years , you just camp , it’s not like other places that have been over run
So good William, that would be a epic experience getting so close to them. Well put together vid to mate. Keep up the cool content and cheers for the entertainment 😀
FFN 👊 mean footage brother willz... Big fish in a small pond.. haha seen the green machine around up herr .. will Chuck you a hola dirty big Dogg bust upps🤙
When I'm in Aussie I fish the same very shallow water but mostly with surface lures. The fish I catch aren't feeding off the surface but the lures induce strikes. I use lures like the Bassday Sugarpen and MMD Splashprawn. You would have to take the silly little trebles off and put on stronger singles. Real exciting when they bow wave in on the lure.
unreal spot bet some micro stickbaits would be a blast there, i remember seeing a vid of milan lateral line a few years back hooking snaps in a harbour on stickys in the shallows .thanks for the drop loved it
Hi there man what an awesome sight. Can you tell me where you are I live in Sydney I used to live up north in the Hokianga. Just love your shows well done.
The Willis has offended Tangaroa by throwing his Gift back in his face ... Poor William the Maori God Tangaroa is offended ... When Tangaroa offers you his gift its like walking out of the dentist without paying if you throw it back.
Quite possibly best NZ snap footage I’ve seen . Gold.🤝

Saltwater flyfishing on those flats would be the dream 🔥
2:10 big bust up
Best fishing program in NZ yet. CHEERS BUD. VERY WELL DONE
Awesome video is one of the best fishing videos I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing.
What an amazing vid. Nothing beats catching a big fish off a kayak and getting towed around....the action is so much more 'amplified' than off a boat
Epic footage! only heard stories of this pretty awesome to watch the snapper tails on the flats

Your videos are so good, so great. I really enjoy watching your videos. Wishing you lots of health and success
Remember when casting, the prey doesn't chase the predator so try not to reel the lure into the fish. Awesome footage, well done that man.
Remember too shut up
Does any one know where this is

Peddle kayaks so good. Try one bro
My old man when he was young use to see acres of snapper tails above the water in raglan harbour
Sick!
Nice 😊 🤠👌👌🤙💯💪
💪
That would have been fun on the fly
You NZ snapper guys are seriously spoilt
Where is this?
I can guess, but hey there are spots like this all over NZ - TH-cam estuary fishing 👍
Where is this bro
When you see dog island in coromandel
need bow and arrow bro 🤙🏽
Thought about doing a collab? Reckon you and Ollie Craig could have a good adventure
ollie and je wilds
they all hunt too
You know they can hear you eh
Ffn❤
Bro how do I give you $50?
cooked cnt saying he doesn`t want to cast too close can barely see the rod xDDDDDDDDDD
pararanga or hohoura
Bow and arrow would have been the go
Try to keep your good young Kiwi show clean and don't follow your down country attitude
your funny as alright
Man your full of it aye

What a load of bullocks. Lots of fishermen throw their first catch back to tangaroa in appreciation.
Tangaroa is a myth
Who made you Tangaroa’s official spokesperson?
Ooh truth hurts, all that crap you have been taught is not true
