- With a mint break in the weather, I head offshore to work the slow pitch jigs on outer reefs. I'm joined on this adventure by kayak fishing legend, Kerry Flowers. Enjoy!

Cool edit mate! I wondered if you would admit to the accidental release of the first king lol! I must hurry up and finish off the edit of my day...
Ahahaha not my finest moment eh 😂 not the first though, and sure won't be the last
that burst up at the start was pretty sick haha the SPJ did it again great effort on getting that 1st kingfish. plus a good mixed bag too
Thanks Pete!
Mint conditions and fantastic fishing, so hanging for some kingfish action. Good to see you catch up with Kerry and thats a great spot cheers
Cheers Rob! Definitely a slice of paradise there.
Some Epic fishing greg! Yeah kingfish love that pink jig aye lol
Yeah boy! The long contact was working a gem 🤙🏽
Another quality video Greg. What a stunning place and a great mixed bag too.
Thanks Jeremy. One of my favorite parts of the country!
That pink maomao is part of the hapuka family so you basically got what you set out for.
Hahah love this thinking!! I reckon I'm gonna have to claim that now 😂
The nuts on that last big snapper 😂
😂 no shame in letting them hang out
@@gpfishingadventures7834 totally! Impressive 😆
always amazes me how stable those kayaks are
Not as stable as other yaks, but once you get the hang of it they're great.
Eventually, after a protracted period of very average videos, a decent bloody kayak fishing video with decent hard fighting catches. Great watching
Haha thanks Rob 😂 hoping the recovery is going well mate. You'll have to live vicariously through the TH-camrs until you're back to full strength I guess.
@gpfishingadventures7834 I am gagging ti get out there again.....only another 5 months to go 😂
Love your vids mate. Good to see kerry out there with ya. Kingfish is still my goal fish, based in wellington. What is that hanging out of the snapper always been curious?
Thanks mate!! Stick at it with those kings, warmer months are coming so you'll be in with a shot soon 🤙🏽 those are the snappers guts hanging out. Unfortunately when fishing in deeper water, snapper are susceptible to barotrauma which can result in their guts popping out like that. One of the big downsides of slow pitch fishing deeper water...
Hey GP. Enjoyed the vid as always. Was wondering if you would be able to do a vid on your kayak setup? I notice you have moved from a paddle (viking) to a pedal (old town) and am considering it myself but wanted to weigh up the pros and cons. Seeing as you have put it through its paces, I wondered if that would be possible?
Thanks Simon! One of these days I'll get around to doing a video on my kayak set up. Just struggle to find the time as I'm generally out fishing/diving every weekend!
What sort of fishing do you do and what do you want to get out of your yak?
Cheers for getting back to me GP. Largely inshore (within 3km), but have a Viking 400 which I really enjoy using but have seen them become more popular and I would like to head further offshore to some of the deeper pins like yourself. Ive been a bit worried about their weight getting them on my roof, and also of their setup for fishing compared to my viking. Thanks again mate@@gpfishingadventures7834
Unless you're doing over 20km in a day, I'd say stick with a paddle yak. The PDLs are great for big days on the water, and they're definitely more efficient for traveling distances, but if you're just going to be doing 10-20km days, the paddle kayaks are better bang for buck. And they're more practical off the water for loading onto your car etc. @@simonsurfnz
Good shout. Thanks GP. I have a viking 400 currently and it does the job on all fronts, but just have the itch to get out to deeper water and thought the pedal kayaks would be more efficient, but they look to be quite different boats and setups. Thanks for the thoughts@@gpfishingadventures7834
Greg .. how is the speed of your ship compared to the old Profish?
It's great thanks. I generally average 5-7kmph all day. Whereas with my 440 I'd start the day at about 7 and end at about 4.
Hey what would you recommend for a good slow pitch rod and lures? Ive got a spare 400 accurate slammer i want to setup on but have only slow pitched on charters. I fish that spot you at and far north a lot. Got a batch up there
Hey mate. I'm currently using a Penn Battalion SPJ rod and it's worked a gem. Tbh, I'm pretty new to the SPJ game, so I don't have much to compare it to, but that rod is my go to at the mo. What sort of species you gonna target with it?
Sweet spot that place. I'm jealous of your batch bro!
Yep sweet, slow jigs don't normally work around where you were so just for the deep water stuff when kingies off the bite. To get the big snaps up there the best way is drop small livies on them
