- Hey all,
Today started off with a fantastic sunrise and nice warm summer conditions.
At certain times many fish can be very fickle and appear to be hard to catch and that also applies to the Kahawai. One minute its full on and they are on the chew, the next minute you wonder where the heck they have gone to. As you will hear in my video, it is all about trying different fishing techniques and varying the speed you are winding at. Also the water depth plays a big part on where the fish will lie, you just need to find out where that lie is exactly.

Good to see people trying an array of gear and technique. A great educational fish.

Heya mate good fishing I miss fishing out there with you guys, scotty
Thanks Scotty. Where have you been lately?
@@canterburyfishingadventures west coast gold mining
@@scottmckean9571 hope you are getting a heap
Nice morning there that's for sure how soft is the sand down there can a fwd car make it that far down or is it only for 4wd.
Can be very soft in parts on the main beach and can sink down 2-3 inches on the waters edge. I would not risk takin a 2 wheel drive car down the beach. Many get stuck.
A New Zealand fisherman without pliers. Who would have thought. Isn't that a novel idea. Try changing to single hooks and casting streamer flies.
I do use a single hook and I do carry pliers, they just weren't on me....lol
Hello Aaron, what part of the tide do you think is best for catching Kahawai at the Waimak?
Hey Rohan, I would be fishing the High tide down to the low tide. Any time between that time would be ok.
Hi Aaron what rod and reel do you recommend?
Hi Peter, I would go for an 8ft rod and any decent reel. eg Penn spin fisher 4500 cheers
What tide are you fishing there bro
low tide
What sort of tides and moon fases and shit do you aim to fish thier for kahawai on???
Low tide and outgoing tide. Full and new moons.
@@canterburyfishingadventuresthanks what about south shore it’s been a abit hit and miss when I’ve been
@@matthewmarshall4331 yep, it has been the same for me as well. Last few times I have fished at the Redcliffs Rockwall it has been very quiet. Same goes for South Shore.
@@canterburyfishingadventures yeah same with me that Rockwell seems to be good at a full or new moon at the last hour of incoming and slack or first 30 ish mins of out going and when the water is clear and then I’ll be on like every cast I’m like 2 mins from there and go there quite often but it’s been murky
@@canterburyfishingadventures are the kahawai there at the waimak all the time or just tidal??
do you use a gopro to film?
Yes I do.
sweet as might pick one up for myself would be cool to look back on all the crazy kahawai hits,
hey I was wondering what the best tides for the rakaia mouth are?@@canterburyfishingadventures
@@elevate4277 that is exactly why I purchased one. It is good to look back at old footage. For Kahawai, it can be any time but I would target the outgoing tide. Cheers
do you need fishing licence to fish there?
Yes and no.
If you are just after Kahawai then no licence is required.
Yes you do need a license if you are targeting sea run trout or Salmon. If by chance you land a sea run trout or salmon without a licence then you must release it immediately without harm back into the river.
