Like the general attitude of attendees. Beautiful place, good food and good people. You are a fortunate fellow. Don't take what you are treated to for granted.
Awesome showing Rod! Two nice fish. Here in Southeast Florida we catch Kingfish with long dead baitfish using a "Stinger Rig". Rig is comprised of one straight shank and one treble hook tied in series with wire. Straight shank goes in the head area and the treble on the tail of the bait. Works great and guarantees that the fish will catch itself during the strike. Try it and good luck at the next Comp.
Cheers mate, I don’t run wire past the middle of the baits as if effects the swing action. Do sometimes get snipped of but I guess that’s the trade. of hey.
hey rod love the vids they have been a big help as i am still pretty new to yak fishing. but i am looking to leave the safety of the estuarys an head out more what advice would you give
Hey mate, glad your getting something out of the vids. I guess the best advice is to just build on the skills you have and just be comfortable with what your doing. It won’t take long to get up to speed with offshore. Just be sure to practice getting back on your yak unassisted in deep water and then it will be all up to practice 😀 good luck with it all👍
I haven't found a huge difference in heat on the water.. definitely when on the sore it heats up though. Most of my trips only last a few hours and are at day break so its not too much of an issue a lot of the time.
Out of curiosity Rod, do you ever cut your baits down to a flapper? removal of the spine, but leave the head with two fillets attached to tow behind you? That large bait would have been a good candidate.
Yep have done that, but get sick of dragging to many big things behind the kayak. I have found the small 5inch plastics seem to be a good all rounder, have had all types smash them in the wash of the kayak!
Great video, have you ever done any murray cod fishing? Very satisfying especially after a big one rips half your thumb up cause you dont have gloves 😂
Felicidades desde España 👍🏼 Por cierto, ya estoy informado de tu nueva nave para pescar, tendremos la misma 😬, estamos en contacto para ver las modificaciones que hacemos, un saludo 👍🏼
Hey Rod, love your videos! Thinking I need a new sport! Watching your videos has got me thinking of kayak fishing! I live near Noosa! Lots to learn though been a keen mountain biker for years so fitness is not Terrible. Would love to send you some free lures as appreciation for your videos. I work in an industry that get lots of free stuff. Let me know! PS using wife's TH-cam account!
Hey mate, Thanks for the offer no need to go to the trouble of sending the lures. Hope you give the kayak fishing a go, if you like fishing, paddling and getting wet your going to have a good time :) Noosa is a great place to fish.
RoKKiT KiT pm me at payfam4@bigpond.com and more than happy to get you some off to you! Wife and daughter have TH-cam channels - best part is the free stuff!!
Next time you hide cartoon pictures of sting rays in your videos can you make it a bit easier to see them? I spent way too much time figuring that one out. I wish that I was NEO from the Matrix so I can't help but look to see what those blips are.
Fuck. I can't watch again. I got a 2 month old to take care of during the day and am lucky when I get 15 minutes to catch your stuff. I guess next time I gotta pay better attention the first time around. Great stuff and love the Easter Eggs.
With horrible weather in Melbourne, rewatching some old videos, and remember watching these when they were first shown.
Congrats Rod. Looks like it was a great comp. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your vid.
Like the general attitude of attendees. Beautiful place, good food and good people. You are a fortunate fellow. Don't take what you are treated to for granted.
Absolutely mate, its always a great day... our comps are more a social gathering with a bit of friendly competition thrown in for fun.
Congrats Rod, couple of nice fish and a podium finish.
Awww spoiler alert lol
suggestion on how to measure the fish in the future. you can put a measurement sticker straight in front of the kayak to your compartment area.

Nice placement!
Next week i'm buying my first fishing kayak... I can't wait to hit the water!! :D
Cheers mate, good luck on the new yak
Cool footage of the eagle ray with the cobe on the waterwolf... Also awesome to see the yft earlier.
mungbean84 yea I kinda felt bad when I saw it... like I took away his mate.
Another great one. The troling camera shots where awesome
You should mark in the fish locker on the kayak, paint in or mark somehow a little measuring ruler along the side wall haha
hey rod love the vids
they have been a big help as i am still pretty new to yak fishing.
but i am looking to leave the safety of the estuarys an head out more what advice would you give

cheers hopefully weather stays good and i can see what Redcliffe has to offer this weekend
Always fun to watch your videos Rod, congrats on the placement!.. go get'em!
Thanks Butters!
Hey mate can you troll those pillies on skirts on a boat for mackerel and how fast should you troll those baits
Nice work Rod yet again. 👍👍👍
What reel is that, that big gold one
Big gold overhead is a Penn Torque 30 Star Drag👍 most of the gear I use is listed in the description of the vids👌
Cool vid. Perhaps the Water Wolf does something to alter lure action which helps!
You could be right, it definitely acts as a teaser I think getting the fish excited to strike.
Hey rod, great catches I’m just wondering how you rig the pillys to troll?
Check out this vid to get started
th-cam.com/video/I8OYqNC7kQs/w-d-xo.html
Great video as usual.... always fun to watch.
Great work!
Amazing catch! Nice job in time 9:29.
Buena pesca y lo mejor es compartir con tus amigos, me encantan tus videos saludos desde zihuatanejo mexico
On ya mate!
Great work m8 nice fish, where did you get your tow cam ?
I got the Waterwolf camera from BCF
im very much enjoy watching every vedio... i want to have kayak even a secondhand one..
Thanks for watching mate 👍
I’m binge watching your channel m8. Happy with my choice 😁
Love and look forward to every single video!
Congratulations Rod!!! As always another great vid!!!
nice mate!!! you heading down for the coffs comp? im not sure when its on
McGillus yea I’d say I will
sweet, who holds the comp. i found it months ago but cant find it now
Nice job man, quick question, doesnt the black colour of the yak make it extremely hot on sunny days
? Especially the place where you keep your catch?
I haven't found a huge difference in heat on the water.. definitely when on the sore it heats up though. Most of my trips only last a few hours and are at day break so its not too much of an issue a lot of the time.
Out of curiosity Rod, do you ever cut your baits down to a flapper? removal of the spine, but leave the head with two fillets attached to tow behind you? That large bait would have been a good candidate.
You should try a big surface popper at the back see if you have any better luck
Yep have done that, but get sick of dragging to many big things behind the kayak. I have found the small 5inch plastics seem to be a good all rounder, have had all types smash them in the wash of the kayak!
Rod when are you gana make a video of you spearfishing again?
Will try and do it soon, got to get in before summer winds down for sure. Just haven’t found the right time.. of any time at the moment 😬
When you mark those bait pods do you ever just catch some live ones and just freeline them? Congrats on your finish! That underwater camera is cool.
if im all set up for live baiting I have done, but often because of limited space and time I don't have a live bait ready to go.
Would be the perfect time to drop one down though!
ahah i see what you did there @10:01 rod. nice catch!
Mr Ray!
joy to watch mate, well done
Sweet finish man! Love those stealth yaks!
Great comp, looked like a blast.
Can you make a video on how you attached your fish finder
check out these two vids, they should give you the general idea:
th-cam.com/video/GHKxGiISvgc/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/N3il5pMtCCQ/w-d-xo.html
Great video, have you ever done any murray cod fishing? Very satisfying especially after a big one rips half your thumb up cause you dont have gloves 😂
No, but would love to give a Murray cod a go, will have to do a trip out at some point.
Nice job and great video as always!
If you had a drone or something you could fly it around to find the manta rays and sight fish them for cobia, would be great fun
That would be cool but that short battery time might get me!
Felicidades desde España 👍🏼
Por cierto, ya estoy informado de tu nueva nave para pescar, tendremos la misma 😬, estamos en contacto para ver las modificaciones que hacemos, un saludo 👍🏼
I want to buy one stealth !!!!
Your videos are amazing !!!!
awesome vid love the under water vid of the cobia biting on. definitely subbing
you are a weapon rod, south sunshine is a good drive from the bar which isnt far from where you lanched.. just under 10nm in the boat one way
Ha, yea its always a long paddle back in the hot sun, but worth the trip down that way for sure.
Such fun videos to watch
Great vid what leader knot do you use
Ethan A this was a double uni but I’m also getting my FG going for more casting.
RoKKiT KiT yeah try the fg it is so much stronger
Pretty sure those fish u were using were like mackerel I use them for facsimile in little bite sized pieces
the big bait I used was a Saury... I wish it was a slimy mackerel! that's our top bait in these parts
Nice vid mate, was a big paddle indeed haha!
#favouriteemployee
enjoy that trophy mate... i am jelly!
Awesome Rod! Great fishing
Awesome cobia man! I encourage all my fishing brothers to start calling them Cobras though. It's just fun.
Haha, cheers mate👍
Another great video mate, keep it up
Great video man!
Awesome Kayak community!
yea it a good group for sure
awesome vid as always
Nice work man!! Good fishing
3:48 in the sky... 100% aliens
Defs not a drone
Haha, yep pretty much 100% aliens
nice catch!
Good spot man! Compared to the subliminal 1 frame flashes inserts this one was a step up in production ;)
Im cheering for ya!
I was hand feeding a 1m mulloway from my kayak in 2m of water, couple of days ago. We were looking at each other, it was hanging in my shadow.
Sounds cool!
Rod me and my mate are
Into our fishing I think you have inspired us to compete against you next year😂
Nice one fellas, I see you next year!
Nice catches! Cool event! 👍🎣

Well done Rod
Good job mate.
Good hustle Rod!!
Well done Rod 💕
congratulation man,great wort as always, don't forget to fix pedal for next time ^^
is your overhead not waterproof?

Over heads seem to be able to take the punishment a little more then spin reels... apart from the sealed ones. They are not waterproof though :(
how often do you service the innards? looks like it gets drenched
Congrats!
I like your content
Cool vid!
congrates Bro 😎👍👍

Would like too, will have to plan a rod trip!
"road"

I have that big fishing booke
yep got to study up on the fishing!
Top effort nice vid
Lol @ #demoproblems. I almost always forget to move my pedals back too.
No matter how many time I remind myself to do it!
Oddly, I prefer to do it on the water. I can never get the rudder straight on land. I know there is a method but I suck at it.
Get that gaff ready, what are ya doin Rod!
nice video nice fish
Well done! too bad the tunas were picky!
yea I think a few guys got some but not many.
this guy deserves more subs like if u agree
Why are u asking for likes Wendy? Fuck off
Very nice
Nice dude
Yes daddy 😫😫😫😜😎
CROCS!
Haha, I know right! Im always taking the piss out of Ant for rocking the Crocs

Haha, keen eyes mate! There was one more easter egg in this one too.
Fuck. I can't watch again. I got a 2 month old to take care of during the day and am lucky when I get 15 minutes to catch your stuff. I guess next time I gotta pay better attention the first time around. Great stuff and love the Easter Eggs.
