MASSIVE KAHAWAI INVASION @ Waimakariri River Mouth - Insane Fishing

[@dougleandmaize16]

Back in the mid sixties,I was a young 16 catching them in the surf as the tide turned. They were so thick,they would brush past my feet.

[@canterburyfishingadventures]

Hey man I am just getting into watching your videos and it’s always nice to see a person uploading nz fishing vids, I frequently go to the river mouth there and have caught 1 good kahawai ( around 60 cm ). Anyway just wanted to say that I love the vids and please keep uploading. 👍

[@canterburyfishingadventures]

Thanks for watching it is really appreciated. Yes I will be uploading more videos very soon. Maybe I will see you at the mouth one day.
