- Kingfish smashing stickbaits - Hauraki Gulf Carnage . A day looking out around Kawau island and Flat Rock produced packs of kingfish while stickbaiting with carpenter lures. A cool encounter with dolphins at the end of the day finished things off nicely.

insane video as always! Keep it up Scott
Thanks....I have a few videos to try and get out.....
too good!!!!!looks like fun...
Was a great day, one of my favourites in the Gulf....
Love this video. Great music choice
oh wow that is seriously awesome as. not every day u get to witness a school of fish swarming around like that especially the kings that were smashing ur stickbait to pieces! haha
Great video as always
Great video man!
nice sized king for the gulf!
Good vid
Wicked kingi action. Gulf seems to be fishing really well for kings this season. Landed a couple off the rocks myself. Wonder if it will bring in any billfish. Certainly not unheard of in the Hauraki......... Might pay to have the gear onboard just in case......
Awesome
Great upload mate :) new friend here:)
Thank you Scot. I am going to try stick baiting. Any recommendations from rocks and wharf? LK
Early morning change of light can be good. Choose a place that doesn't have too many places for a kingfish to cut you off. It can be hours of effort for not much reward, just be prepared for a lot of work.
@@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches Thanks Scot. I appreciate your advice as always.
If you can, I want to ask you why do you prefer such set up for this application such as DaiwA saltist 5000 and daiwa demon? What would happen if you choose anything small such as daiwa size 3000 and lighter rod?
A smaller/lighter set up means you can't put as much pressure on the fish. If you are fishing areas where the kingfish can drag the line over obstacles like rocks or wharf pylons you will quickly lose the fish and your lure. It also means you will have to fight the fish for longer and if you want to release the fish, it may be too exhausted to survive. It does depend on where you are fishing and how big the kingfish is you are hooking. A smaller outfit can still land fish but has those disadvantages, it also means you will put more pressure on your gear that it may not be able to withstand over a longer period of time and parts will wear out more quickly or fail. Smaller reels have a smaller line capacity as well so you run the risk of getting spooled if you can't follow the fish fast enough.
Awesome video as always. What was the stick bait you used? Couldn't make out the name.
The first one was a carpenter gamma in koheru colours, 105gr, the second was a carpenter bluefish in jack mack colours, 60gr...
@@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches Awesome! Thanks I will get a couple..
Holly crap those stick baits are expensive...
@@wemme Look for them second hand, I can't afford brand new either.... :)
Hi Scott, we want to go to New Zealand land base fishing for big snapper, but we don't know any tour guide, I know you are very experience in this area, is there any chance you could recommend a tour guide to us? and what season is good for big snapper?thank you
Owen Wills at Epic charters has a good record for catching huge snapper in the Coromandel, I would get in touch with him, the other guy is Marty Benson in the Far North, he is a guru and knows his stuff inside out. landbasedfishing.nz/fishing-adventures-2/
Thank you for all the tips, your channel is very good, hope to see more videos and I will continue follow.
Hi Scott do you put anchor
On that's 27m of water or just a sea anchor?
Hi sorry mate thought I had answered this, no anchor just drifted with wind, it was pretty gentle.
what type of rod u using for big fish above 20 kg or more
Hi, I've got a Synit Van Dieman GTM79 PE5-8 Max drag 14kg.
Whats the name of the lure & where do you buy them ? thanks
I was using a Carpenter BF60 in jack mackerel colours, they are difficult to get, Yeehaa has them (in store, not always online). They come up for sale on Facebook market sometimes on groups like Topwater buy sell....
how long is your leader?
About 1.5 meters long
How much drag dose that saltist have
10kg max drag
For the 5000 special edition that I was using. The 6500 saltist has 15kg
Not keen over eating kingfish bro
It’s smart the way you change your stickbaits and the action you work them with til you find the winning combo. It would be better if you didn’t gaff fish you intend to release tho. It’s not good for the fish and it promotes bad habits. Putting fish back is admirable but pointless if they are unlikely to survive as the first fish seemed
Agree about release unless they will survive.....careful lip gaffing is industry practice. It wasn't shown in the video cause it took a bit longer but any kingfish I released revived and swam away strongly, no bleeding from the gills/mouth. Fishing in an inflatable with tubes introduces the new danger of getting a puncture so I need to be able to control the fish as well as protect myself from getting hooked. Gaffing accomplished safety for me and fish were successfully released.
Damn did that first kingi die😢
No, he sat there briefly but after like 10 seconds kicked away fine....
@@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches thats what i want to here.fish for the future!!!still lovin ur work mate.il let u know next time im hittin the water and u can and will join me
Why the gaff thou? This is of course a rhetorical question ....especially when planning on releasing the fish,
That first kingie barely swam away after having a gaff go through his head.
Tristan Berkowi it was thru the lip mate
Why use a gaf when realising seems like the first fish was definitely going to die
Gaffed through the lip, the fish took a breather on the surface and was gone like 3 seconds later. I had to be careful to control the fish to remove the hooks as trying to remove hooks beside the boat in the water was too dangerous with hooks potentially going through the inflatable.
Thought they was the case, Tight lines mate 🙌
@@cosmicbrah8669 Cheers, I tried to get them back in the water quickly to maximise chances of survival, while keeping myself and boat safe at the same time. If I played them too long to tire them by the boat and release they may not have the same energy to swim away and be ok....
100% agree. Never fished with an inflatable boat and i understand know with top water trebles and a powerful kingy thrashing around could be a disaster waiting to happen. Cheers for replies Scott have a good day mate
Nice 👍 video man new subscribe here, never been to hauraki gulf do you mind to give your email so I can follow you one day.. cheers
