Kia ora everyone, I hope you enjoy this catch and cook from the hook to the cook video. I have been thinking seriously lately about starting up a Patreon page where a koha is given to help me get out there more often and do the videos that you guys want to see. This will also enable me to purchase/ upgrade my gear to bring you better quality videos. And also to feed the family and pay some bills. I know that some of you are like me and find it hard to give to something like this, that is why I'm putting the question to you. TH-cam should stay a free video watching site and i will post up there but not as often as to Patreon. Let me know in the comments below what you guys, especially the loyal subscribers that have stuck by, commented and enjoyed my videos think. Nga mihi ki a koutou katoa. Mike
Weka Digital Media NZ I'm not sure what Patreon is, but I would gladly contribute in some way to help you continue making videos. You're one of the very few TH-cam accounts I follow and you're definitely my favorite, and I would be happy to support you 😊
Thanks Nicola, really appreciate that!. Patreon (/ˈpeɪtriɒn/) is a membership platform that provides business tools for creators to run a subscription content service, as well as ways for artists to build relationships and provide exclusive experiences to their subscribers, or "patrons." (Easier to copy and Paste)
I have used Patreon successfully in the past - and, to be honest, you have a lot of other great ways you can support the channel (gearbest and banggood will send you stuff for free, for example). Happy to talk more. And hello from Wellington!
Had the pleasure of meeting this chap today at the same spot this video was previously filmed..lovely bloke ....genuine ..and seriously enjoys his fishing and video making for the general public to also enjoy...no fish caught today therefore nil filming done ...however the dog was very busy digging holes in the sand .....
Cheers from the US! Lived in nz for a couple years and have fond memories of fishing for kahawai with the locals. Very nostalgic thanks my friend. Aroha
This video i still love to watch no mater what. Seriously bro. I cant stop watching your old videos... its just awsome. I find fishing not more of the fish only but... just to get out there get to meet people and enjoy the company of others, stress free hahaha... enjoying the atmosphere getting out there with the family away from gadgets or tv or gaming. When you can enjoy outdoors more better to be at home wasting the power hahaha. Its a great medicine. I dont know about anyone but thats how i feel when i go fishing hehe.
Bula vinaka Siti, thank you bro. Don't always catch but when I do it's good eating for the family. Catch and cook videos for youtube, well that is even harder lol
oh man catching cooking and eating in the wilderness speaks for itself bro weka....HEAVEN...... And the guitar jamming in te background bloody awesome. too much alrite bro. churrrr
Chur bro love your catch n cook videos best way to eat kahawhai can't wait to come back home from Aus and enjoy some amazing Kaimoana! Keep on making mean videos mate chur chur!!
Kia ora bro. Really great full for your videos. Thanks to you me and my family now have a BOP mouth we can finally slay at. Coming from the Waikato I moved to Tauranga looking for a good spot to catch Kahawai. We’ve always spent holidays and weekends in Marokopa on the west coast. Now we have a new one at the camp. Saw your last video you did here so had to give it a go Easter weekend, sure enough, heaps of fish. Camped there the weekend after awesome spot, safe as heaps of fish. Also in Whakatane harbour after watching your video had to give it go. Didn’t disappoint scored a nice snapper and two Kahawai. Just have to get your recipes locked down because your smoked fish is the bomb. Awesome work bro Keep it up 🤟🏽👆🏽💪🏾👌
Thanks for the comment, awesome you are gathering a feed for the whanau. We are really lucky here with so many great fishing spots. Thornton has been great for a while now, many have managed to take home enough ika to feed the whanau.
Kia ora mai bro awesome video finally get time too watch ur videos bn flat out shearing n Aussie flyn bk home Monday big thumbs up from me bro keep it up
Nice video mate. I’ve tried cooking our version of Kahawai... the Aussie Salmon, heaps of different ways and it always tastes like shite... not sure if your species is a little different to ours. I usually save the smoking for trout. I brought home some Manuka and Pohutukawa chips from my last visit, but I found I like hickory the best. Do you cook the kahawai any other ways? I might have to try one next time I’m in NZ (I try to get over a couple of times a year... love the place and the friendliness of the people.). My missus reckons everything in NZ is just that little bit better!! Went snorkeling last time and got a feed of NZ oysters and Kina... bloody sensational!! Keep up the vids mate 👍
They are the same fish. If you don't like eating fish that has a more pronounced/stronger fish flavor it's probably not the fish for you. I love eating pretty much all fish and some of my in laws will only eat flathead, whiting, snapper, etc. Pretty much fish that have a real neutral, whiter flesh flavor.
That fish would have to be the best thing you can eat. I think we should contribute something as you do teach us some great ideas and its real not reality tv crap. Only problem is i cant even set up an email. Got no idea how to use computers and still can't use my phone properly. That's why i still drive a 77 Chrysler Regal. Wife wont even let me near a computer in case i wreck it . Im stuck in the 70s . Love the video mate thanks.
It would have to be the best smoked fish ever, that one and the one I had for tea tonight. Never too old to learn Pete, I'm a self taught video/ editing fulla thanks to youtube and google. I managed to get out of the 90's lol
i was thinking of getting a 57cm weber , i just dont know how long the charcoal / wood are gonna last if im cooking some steaks or sausages on it maybe once a day. would it be expensive do you think? and would u still recommend a Weber? Thanks!
Haha! I remember going on a school camp exactly where you were fishing. Went kayaking and fishing in the same place a got nothing..... :( keep up the vids bro
Hey bro is this at thornton beach what a beautiful view you got there😍if it is Thornton I always swam there but in the fresh water up a bit more where the wolf is on your way driving down
I had a handful of chips, I kept adding a few at a time so there was always smoke. Hickory is not as harsh as pohutukawa or even manuka. You can contact me via my facebook page, I reply to everyone there. Kia ora back :)
It was way over an hour, felt like a week haha. My last cast( not in the vid) I hooked onto something really big but couldn't land it. I think maybe a stingray or a kahawai wrapped around a submerged log, but was hoping for something else.

Thanks Bob, enjoyed talking to you and your wife. Can't believe that guy next to you caught 3 fish.. haha! Hope you managed to catch one yourself.
Love watching your videos catching fish mean bro

Loved your video. You were honest with the wait time to start catching fish. Fishing requires patience. Your videos are my best catch and cook videos.
Bula vinaka Siti, thank you bro. Don't always catch but when I do it's good eating for the family. Catch and cook videos for youtube, well that is even harder lol
Thought I'd go an old school video with my Sunday morning coffee. Chuuurrr

Kia ora Black Barney, getting hard to comment on these vids lately, hope you good bro!
Oh mate I love smoked mullet fish roe and well smoked mullet the most with tea tree ❤
Have only eaten mullet once, was ages ago, people do rave about how tasty it is smoked. The (female) roe is my favourite, smoked or fried in butter!

All natural healthy fish. Best food ever.
I tried fish cooked with or without butter.lime. garlic it tastes awesome anyhow
I love fish anyway too, love it in batter as well, but dipped in flour and fried in butter is one of the best ways.
Watching from South Africa and love your videos. It's the best.
Greetings to you Tryon, not a bad place we live in here aye? There are a few of your Countrymen living here.
Not many people have tasted fish straight from the sea ...I always use fish at Tangimoana river mouth....Awesome stuff.

Haha! I remember going on a school camp exactly where you were fishing. Went kayaking and fishing in the same place a got nothing..... :( keep up the vids bro
Has been fishing really well these past few months, even along the beaches from here. I have had my share of catching nothing too.
You make me so hungry!!! D:
Rewana and butter wash it down with cold bottle of homebrew Honey beer. Tino pai.
Hey bro is this at thornton beach what a beautiful view you got there😍if it is Thornton I always swam there but in the fresh water up a bit more where the wolf is on your way driving down
Well done, fish looks delicious! Where did you fish? 😍
This is at Thornton just before Whakatāne
@@WekaDigitalMediaNZ awesome thanks! Might give it a go :)
Set up the Patrean Account Mike, you're good enough for it. Keep up the Great Vids.
Thanks for the positive comment bro, appreciate that!
Not smoked stuff before - does the smokey flavor come through nicely with three bits like that? Also - where can I email you?? Kia ora!
I had a handful of chips, I kept adding a few at a time so there was always smoke. Hickory is not as harsh as pohutukawa or even manuka. You can contact me via my facebook page, I reply to everyone there. Kia ora back :)
Yum!
Is Kawahai the same as Australian Salmon?
Chur bro,love the long video..
Thanks bro, tend to do some longer ones especially with fishing
Bro Nice.😆
Well done brother
Thank you bro!
Yum!! How long were you out there before you caught the first one? Great video
It was way over an hour, felt like a week haha. My last cast( not in the vid) I hooked onto something really big but couldn't land it. I think maybe a stingray or a kahawai wrapped around a submerged log, but was hoping for something else.
What’s this location mate?
Where is this England are Australia???because is only one type of fish u caught
You must added with pepper and turmeric,red chili powder,than salt.
