Two year old video but I enjoyed watching it. Motor oil seems to be the one alright according to all the comments and other channels.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoy this one. Yep they’re still my go to when things are a bit tough. Love them!
Hi mate, what weight jig head are you using?
Hey. Depends on the conditions and depth really. My preferred is 3/4 oz but I’ll fish 1/2 oz and 5/8th also. The lightest possible to reach the bottom I find a good rule of thumb. I do like to feel in touch with it though so prefer a bit more weight at times. Sorry that’s a bit of a vague answer. Let me know if I can be any more help. Cheers, Thomas
Do you have worm baits down there?up here it would be ragworm or lugworm. What might go after a spinner?
Not so common here. The fish sure would eat them though. Of spinning (in salt water) one of the most common targets would be Kahawai. I great fighting and underrated eating fish. I’ve not caught one on the channel yet but it’s bound to happen soon. Thanks for watching this one Don. We hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Thomas
Awesome video mate!! Gotta get me some motor oils.... Where were u fishing? Or is it one of ur secret spots? 😅 awesome video with tons of advice cheers!!
Hey mate. Thanks for watching. Those motor oils are amazing. Nothing too secret. Just in the channel between the mainland and Kawau Island. Cheers.
Motor oil and Smokey jershads are pretty good results for me...great stuff!
Great to hear. I’ve not tried a Smokey. Those motor oils are amazing!
What a treat of catching your dinner! Good weather, good water, good company, good fish. I can't find anything to complain about, there. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for coming along! You're totally correct on all fronts. It was a brilliant day out and some great eating afterwards. Thanks so much for watching mate! Thomas
I can absolutely see why fishing in NZ is so special! Loved watching this second video! Glad a “hard” day out still meant you got what you wanted!
Thanks Jaci! It’s a bit cheeky saying it’s a hard day when we get those results isn’t it. Another special day on the water. Thanks for watching. Thomas 😀
Two things, where are the sunnies & shorts from?
All top shelf stuff here - Kmart and H&M 😂
The paddler z was put on correctly, but your bruised banana curly tail was on upside down. The tail should be sticking up. That sign midwater, was probably squid
Thanks mate. Need to play around more with those. Haven’t fished them much to be honest. Thanks for watching. Thomas
motor oil zman definitely my favourite
They just work right! I can never get over how they keep bringing me results. Thanks for watching mate. Thomas
