@@NomadicKayakFishing This is my first year kayak fishing offshore NW Florida And I found your channel the first of the year. You've been a great help learning this sport.
Thanks mate, no plans to give it up. That said, so long as I'm happy within myself and living for the present moment, not the future or the past, I'll be living the dream- no matter what I'm doing. Tight lines bro have an awesome week
Matt I really think you should make a vid on the van setup - perhaps when conditions are too shit for fishing. You've got such a sick setup going and I'd love to know how you made everything work, what you've found hasn't worked and any improvements you're looking to addon in the future. Cheers
hey bro, thanks for the suggestion. when i get some free time I'm thinking of doing some upgrades to the van build then revisiting it then. cant say I'm totally happy with the set up as is..
@@NomadicKayakFishing Doesn't need to be perfect, the nice thing about having a youtube channel is getting feedback from others for things you're not happy with. Seems like the algorithm for the last few vids shows how popular the van stuff is.
i know it's a ton of fuel usage without a fire, but you could consider boiling those carcasses if you can build a fire. the stock for soups would be out of this world. you can even reduce it down and save it as a fish sauce. can freeze it. really great stuff you're doing. this is how we were designed to live.
Hi Matt. You seem wise beyond your young self and express yourself very well. Your videos are fun to watch and very entertaining. Would it be possible to show us how you have set up your van. Looks very practical. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Chch.
Awesome vid Matt, great to see the channel cranking, all down to the efforts your putting into the story and cinematography of each of these videos. Keep it up mate
Matt, loving your video's - great to accompany my morning coffee. Was great meeting you in the shop today - you're as good a dude in person as you seem in the vid's (and thanks for the great advice - hope the shonky weather clears for a while so i can practice some of it!) Go well fella.
cheers mate. was great meeting you today! feel free to come in for a yarn any time (talking about fishing is the highlight of my day) - hope you get a few on those softbaits
Les go bro a new video. That was mean as bro, Had me family watching this time around well I'm still visiting them., That was a mean looking feed, have an amazing week ahead aye, life's for living and simplicity brings the most joy I find.
@NomadicKayakFishing +Lol your language is super clean compared to the fams 😂😂,. They were buzzing out,. Hoping it'll inspire my neps etc to go and live life more abundantly. I was ment to pick up me nep to join my walk about but he pulled out.. rippa runnies..
Iv watched al ur utube clips 🤙👌I'm now in to it big time,judging by banana trees in one clip ,ur north ,,,I can't wait to see you round an show you that ur inspiration is fully appreciated,,, my van is white 2018 low roof ,,I like my kayike inside agsnt the side ,,steam line ,,,get those raw gurnard strips skin on ,soy wizzabi,,,,,cheers matt
Hey buzzbee, In the gentle light of morning's grace, Your words, like petals, find their place. A simple comment, yet so profound, In your kindness, my joy is found. A spark of warmth in a world so wide, A reminder of beauty, you’re on my side. With every syllable, a seed you've sown, In this garden of thoughts, I’ve beautifully grown. Thank you for noticing, for taking the time, Your words are a melody, a sweet, gentle rhyme. In the tapestry of life, your thread shines bright, With gratitude blooming, I bask in your light
U totally can bro, just gotta be willing to take a little risk and make a few sacrifices. That said, it's not for everyone. I'm a strong believer in living a lifestyle that makes yah happy (whatever that looks like). Thanks mate hope you have a great week
Another great vid nice snaps living the dream and getting out of the rat race on your days off,💯. you will have to branch out and come over to the East coast for a nose sometime.
Hey brother, was scanning TH-cam looking for something to watch and this video popped up, I love what your doing bro same stuff I live to do, keep pumping the content for us, I look forward to going back through your content and watching all your videos. Keep it up you learnt another sub👊🏽💯
Try capers lemon butter garlic fresh herbs parsley makes a great sauce very simple goes well with pearler potatoes and of course your fresh snapper try it bro
I was thinking that also... Based on the The Stealth S sticker I would say upside down also. @Matt, might be worth trying it the other way to see if it sorts out your "weirdness" you where feeling
seriously man, i feel like such an idiot lol. i assumed the curved edge if the paddle would be on top to get the most grip in the water... - shows how much i know hahaha
Have you done a get started guide on kayak fishing? I have a kayak, I have gone fishing on a boat before. I would like to not get sucked out to sea and die and be able to find the fish so any tips on that would be good.
I've got a playlist on my channel called "how to & educational videos" if you wanna check that out. if you've got any specific questions just leave another comment. cheers mate
24:25 Also bro you can fry the frames and get a bit of meat off them eh they go hard But great job throwing the frames back in. Lot of people think it's better putting them in a rubbish bin 🤦♂️
Hi Matt ive just discovered your channel and am loving watching all your vids. I also do a bit of van camping (not living) and kayak fishing from a Viking kayak, If your ever up taranaki way hit me up and we could go on a fishing mission or 3 haha, also bought a pair of floating sunnies you recommend from burnsco and they are excellent, cheers keep up they awesome work.
Great vid..... As ususual. You might have been Asian in a past life, with ur add ons in cooking. And Chop Sticks. May see you around one day. All the best. Daryl..... New Plymouth
Yes I know mate, problem is when your living in a tiny van there isn't enough space to store a BBQ/smoker. And my fridge isn't big enough to keep the frames and wings fresh. I'm still trying to figure a way to make it work👍
Hey Matt loved the video man. I finally got one shot stepped on a snake took a fall over heated almost didn't get out of the swamp got a haircut Florida is a humid hot place. Looks like you are doing great on subscribers. I told you you'll be big one day. 😅 Love NZ
My cheapo meal back in the day was mi goreng noodles in an omelette on bread🤣 been working and paying me way since about 16 working it all out as I go. id say you’ve handled it pretty well mate, and hey aside from the weather wanting to insert its finger further and further in ya, I really enjoyed this vid man. Looks very freeing doing what you do, day by day I get closer to going fk it and doing the same with my Pajero haha, keep on keeping on brother!👍❤️
Mi goreng noodles are goated bro. Not sure what u mean about the weather and it's finger🤣🤣🤣😭. Thanks bro, the mighty pajero is a sick vehicle, you could take it anywhere. Have a good week bro thanks for all your crack up comments
Absolutely, by far the best spin reel iver ever owned. That said I haven't tried many other higher end reels, but it's hard to look past the IPX rating for the kayak👍
It's good that you're not releasing those deepwater snapper. Too many people think they are doing the right thing by releasing them when all they are doing is making shark food. Catch what you need then stop fishing 👍

cheers mate, i know the stock would be amazing but I've only got a tiny fridge... no where to store it :(
thanks tho, appreciate the comment
Good on ya mate! Tight lines!!
I really enjoy your videos mate, you are truly an inspiration as well as a wealth of knowledge.

A good lightweight paddle makes an enormous difference.....further, faster, less energy burnt.

@@NomadicKayakFishing na keeps it interesting eh was a good hook
Great video 👍
Thanks boys! What've I got to to get one of your stickers for the van? "Dirty seamen" sums me up pretty well 😂
@@NomadicKayakFishing I’m sure I could arrange that 👍
Good work young fulla
paddle is upside down bud 😅😅 9:50
I was thinking that also... Based on the The Stealth S sticker I would say upside down also. @Matt, might be worth trying it the other way to see if it sorts out your "weirdness" you where feeling
seriously man, i feel like such an idiot lol. i assumed the curved edge if the paddle would be on top to get the most grip in the water... - shows how much i know hahaha

24:25 Also bro you can fry the frames and get a bit of meat off them eh they go hard
But great job throwing the frames back in. Lot of people think it's better putting them in a rubbish bin 🤦♂️
Cheers mate, will have to try
Hi Matt ive just discovered your channel and am loving watching all your vids.

Cheers mate, glad u r enjoying the vids. Will keep you in mind if I'm ever in Taranaki. Those sunnies are mint👌
Great vid..... As ususual. You might have been Asian in a past life, with ur add ons in cooking. And Chop Sticks. May see you around one day. All the best.
Daryl..... New Plymouth
Hahah maybe, but I don't think I eat enough rice. Thanks mate, tight lines
Bro you should take the wings off those snapper and just get any old bbq and turn it into a smoker or just grill the wings best part
Yes I know mate, problem is when your living in a tiny van there isn't enough space to store a BBQ/smoker. And my fridge isn't big enough to keep the frames and wings fresh. I'm still trying to figure a way to make it work👍
The difference a day can make kn Welly huh. What spray you using on your reels after wash down?
So true bro. I use crc tackle gaurd on the reels
Hey Matt loved the video man. I finally got one shot stepped on a snake took a fall over heated almost didn't get out of the swamp got a haircut Florida is a humid hot place. Looks like you are doing great on subscribers. I told you you'll be big one day. 😅 Love NZ
What you spray your reels with? CRC?
Somebody give him a portable smoker 🎉🎉🎉
👍👍👍
Chur brother I just started watching your vids, I live out hokio Beach not to far from you . Kean on a whitebait Mish?
Shot bro. I'm not a huge fan of wait baiting but thanks for the offer
Do you ever smoke the kahawai you catch?
Have done so in the past... but don't have a smoker in my van. Smoked kahawai is delicious
My cheapo meal back in the day was mi goreng noodles in an omelette on bread🤣 been working and paying me way since about 16 working it all out as I go.
id say you’ve handled it pretty well mate, and hey aside from the weather wanting to insert its finger further and further in ya, I really enjoyed this vid man. Looks very freeing doing what you do, day by day I get closer to going fk it and doing the same with my Pajero haha, keep on keeping on brother!👍❤️

Not sure what u mean about the weather and it's finger🤣🤣🤣😭.
Thanks bro, the mighty pajero is a sick vehicle, you could take it anywhere. Have a good week bro thanks for all your crack up comments
@@NomadicKayakFishing like at the start g you couldn’t catch a break with the weather haha, mint snappers tho like that’s a crazy good sesh
@@NomadicKayakFishing cheers mate thank you too🤙🏻
ae u goiing to take u kayak into the harbour to catch gurnad ?
do you rate the penn slammer ?
Absolutely, by far the best spin reel iver ever owned. That said I haven't tried many other higher end reels, but it's hard to look past the IPX rating for the kayak👍
@@NomadicKayakFishing what about the penn regenment ?
bro Matt, the eggs are missing. Boiled or steamed 😂.
Awesome catch and cook. That's a like
From me
Hahah I know! A soft boiled egg would've been sooo good... but in today's economy eggs are a luxury item lol. Might need a pet chicken 😅
It's good that you're not releasing those deepwater snapper. Too many people think they are doing the right thing by releasing them when all they are doing is making shark food. Catch what you need then stop fishing 👍
amen to that bro, no point in releasing a fish that will die anyways.. "limit yah catch don't catch your limit". tight lines mate!
Petone wharf?
Not quite
As a suggestion in northerlies, to catch a feed bro
Lol
🤙🏻pretty sure it’s still closed mate
Try some daishi with your soy and a little bit of sugar..
Will do... where to I find dashi
Im in Wellington too bro love the content bro
Should of freezed the frames to your Māori colleges would love them better than fillets😂😂😂
GREAT CHANNEL KEEP IT UP SUBBBED
