Hi m8 I have a request could you please do a fishing segment on Murray's bay beach . I grew up in torbay fishing long bay ladder bay the cove . Fished one night at Murray's bay did ok , but would love to see how it's fishing now . As I now live in queensland Australia it's a long cast . Cheers . Shifted to torbay in 1953 it was a great place to grow up , love your show and like what your doing wth the boys . Al from Australia

Hi Al Not sure if you have seen my You Tube fishing channel - Reel kiwi Fishing? I started fishing the bays in the mid 90's the exact spots you mention where ladders use to be my go to big snapper spot. My best there went just over 28lb guttered so may have reached that magic 30lb? The bays use to be such a magic place but sadly it is now only about 20% of it's glory days. Very rare to catch a double fig fish off the rocks now and if ya lucky you might get a couple nice fish to 5lb. I'm unsure what has really happened but it seems the the local fish are no more. A lot of their food does get collected by shoreline on low tides and also mask and snorkel but there seems to also be a lot of sediment - the inner gulf where we use to fish by boat is similar. it just seems the fish no longer come down that inner coast? This is a link to a playlist and the earlier ones is surfcasting along the bays mainly from Murrays to Rothesay bay. kzbin.info/aero/PLugHbdD0nCdGUwdPcFfxbHO7mAXiwk-bn Tight lines

Bro, did you leave Pea at home and forget to pack the fishing rod? Nice collection of stone, cheers for sharing.

[@nzkiwifamilyadventures4197]

Hahahahaha yea have to have a break from him sometimes :-) Nah was a family trip, was pretty cool place and crazy different stones everywhere... Cheers Jase

[@biancakulsen9103]

cool vid dude, shame you didnt get them checked

[@dracovenit9549]

Awesome video thanks for sharing. Just remember that you must have permission from the local iwi. The only reason I say is that I think there was some commotion around the issue.

[@nzkiwifamilyadventures4197]

Yip stayed away from the main river it comes out from as not allowed to take from there... Cheers Jase

[@biancakulsen9103]

@@nzkiwifamilyadventures4197 you can if u get permission or go with someone who is ngai tahu

[@Alisa-dy1nh]

Look at the arahura river on Google maps the local iwi have scrapped whole parts of the river bed for greenstone in my personal opinion they have no rights to claim it when they collect in the way they do

[@stevec5192]

@@Alisa-dy1nh they’re the biggest bunch of hypocrites

[@ynlglocc]

did you get permission from Ngai Tahu???? you can’t even say hokitika and you want our beautiful pounamu? get out of here

[@ilikeseeeeex]

smart

[@annettebertora4434]

I hope you all realize that the rocks collected MUST be put back......

[@bmci007]

You must be fun at parties

[@timtam184]

Sorry mate there are certain areas where you can't take but most beaches are fair game

[@kiamau]

I just found a 2 kg chunk last week . Not saying what beach 😜 But I watch the weather all the time and study the tides and currents . Iv got green fever real bad I'm obsessed with the stuff . Look on the north side of river mouths the current is always pushing north so bugger all on the southern side

[@clivejohnson2145]

The best place is down by the west coast

[@MTUnique]

You aren't sure if it's greenstone. If it's green and it's stone then yes it's greenstone. That doesn't mean it's pounamu.

[@ruatea1237]

I have a tip for you on where to look, It is like 1 45 minute drive from koitika, it is a private river, let me know if you want the location, it is garuanteed to have pounamu as it is a fresh water river.

[@mylesaway79]

Wow, give me that snow quartz 😭😭😭😭

[@biancakulsen9103]

theres so much snow quartz here in hokitika its insane

[@ilikeseeeeex]

go to bones and stones

[@ilikeseeeeex]

im a pro at finding pounamu

[@ruatea1237]

omg, please return to local iwi ! It is tapu to take without blessing from local iwi, esspecially if you are tauiwi

[@ilikeseeeeex]

are you super smart or always right

[@NewZealandWild]

A little way up the thread you were saying you know of a river he can get pounamu from, but you know it's not allowed.

[@stevec5192]

This is pretty typical double speak from some New Zealanders. See it everyday
