CATCH n COOK Fishing Trip- Outdoor Fish Smoker- Diving for Kina

We head up the coast, fishing for the hard fighting fat Motu kahawai. Also go diving for some kina ( sea urchin). Smoking the fish in the outdoor smoker, the best way to cook the fish using manuka.

Hello I am a Chinese. I was very shocked when I saw your video. I am fascinated by the lifestyle and status of your family. Thank you very much for your video and I am full of expectation and sunshine for my future life. I really want to go fishing and hunting with you and your friends and your lovely children. I am an excellent Chinese chef. You can cook different foods for you on the road (joking) but if you like! But I am in Auckland, I really want to experience your lifestyle! Thanks again for the joy and surprise that your video has brought me.

Just unbelievable. That's the only way to go and enjoy life. You're a legend mate. So much to learn from Maori. Great video and some of the best things I've seen . No wonder you went back to Nz . That was fantastic to see . Thanks mate and take care.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

I really enjoy fishing at this spot, my favourite place to fish ever. Haven't gone back though since this video.

[@petergoodwin2465]

Weka Digital Media NZ i had to watch it twice. Beautiful place and great fishing as well as the cooking. There's not many good places left in Victoria anymore. Nz is such a beautiful place. My grandmother always went for a holiday there. Always makes me wonder why the kiwis would want to come to Australia with its traffic and over population. Take care mate and thanks for these videos.

[@SRVACE]

Awwwwwwwwwww man I'm hungry for some smoked roe on hot buttered toast

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

The roe don't last long here, the sausages of the sea we call them

[@nepiahemopo1702]

Dripping sweat . Looks really nice there and your cooking is fantastic. Time for a beer after welding and shaping metal all day . Enjoy mate . Take care.

[@JORDSKIEZ18]

Good VID mate ! Oh yes the legendary Mighty MOTU I've been there myself and TeKaha , Lottin point and Hicks bay, I'm from Wellington and done a few trips to the East Cape over the years ,. Its our favourite fishing destination . PS make MORE VIDS. cheers

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Heading there next month for some epicness bro, filming for some other cameras though

[@sintytyson]

Mean as vid bro! Diver's Ear Remedy (two-day treatment) - 20ml of Dettol, dilute with 500ml of water in a clean spray bottle, shake until a cloudy mix (when using it). Set to spray not pistol. Fit nozzle to your ear canal and spray; a gentle trigger finger works best. The stinging pain is momentary. Have a spray bottle of water, only, to flush out Dettol if you don't enjoy the pain. Tilt your head towards the nozzle if you have to spray more than once. Spray morn, midday and after tea. Bonus ball: It also works well for Black Toe (spray once every night until it looks right) and for an itchy body part in particular, as well (One part Dettol, dilute with 750ml of water; test on a patch of skin first).

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks for that bro, took a while to sort out the ears. Just shouldn't put thing in them, a bad habit of mine. Will keep that in mind for next time.

[@rowanotago]

Mean bro

[@scottholmes8374]

Bro yr timekeeping love yr vids david sort of guy I wood get on with really well

[@Toymit]

Mean bro, just stumbled across your video. We used to go camping out at Omaio all the time when we were young but havent been back there since the 80's so its been awhile. We used to camp by the bridge when you go past Omaio shops towards Te Kaha, the first bridge after the shops, there was a little grass section just before you get to the bridge, thats where we camped. When it rained hard, the river would overflow so we'd go back toward Whitianga Bay where one of my uncles had a bach out that way and stay there but that camp site was better cos you had deep water and a tree to do bombs off. I heard you can no longer camp there which is a pity. Spent nearly every summer over there. Im sure there was a pub at Te Kaha, us kids spent half the time camping and the other half waiting in the car outside the pub.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks bro, it's a great spot up there alright. Wished I had some whakapapa back to there, oh and some whenua. A great hunting and gathering food cupboard! A few camping spots are there no more.

[@georgiariri5033]

mean vid bro we fish dwn the motu evry year too chase the kahawai run with the whanau awsome cant wait too head on down this summer

[@tetapuaroberts1502]

Love your videos bro, I remember the time I went to the motu it was amazing, and the kahawai were fat as. I'm a Te puke man that usually fish at Maketu (the cut) so many people there at the cut, but anyway I miss fishing so much, i moved to Aus for 10 years with my wife and now I live in Dubai, I think I'm going to come home for a good holiday. Thank you your video was awesome

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

You're welcome bro, never fished the cut. I tend to hang around here or go up the coast. Sure is great fishing at the Motu.

[@mohdfirdauslong5010]

Wauuuu...nice cook and perfect coverage 😍👌👌👌

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

My favourite places to fish are here, thank you

[@edwords1637]

Nice catch and looked delicious!

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks Ed, was really tasty. Made some raw fish with the snapper, that was delicious!

[@Gerrard519]

Bro you made me bloody hungry eating that smoked fish....bugga lol

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

I love this place! 👍🏾

[@colinzhang3211]

can you do a video on what gear you use and what type of rig setup? and how it's setup? also how you put on your bait

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

I'm no expert, far from it. Just a 5oz running sinker then a trace and swivel with 2 6/0 recurve hooks. Half pillies sometimes whole ones with plenty of hook sticking out. And normally about 5m of shock leader double uni to the main line. Haha sounds like I'm a expert

[@oofersgoyeet]

holy thats amzing!

[@mrmister9515]

What a great life awesome vid bro

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks sandman, we had a great time!

[@thamesfishing-3468]

mean vid bro. i saw one of your thornton beach fishing videos a while back and i was staying there the other night so i decided to take a surf caster. best day off land ive ever had. loaded up the bin

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks bro, the kahawai are running at the moment at Thornton. Saw a few getting caught this arvo too, don't look like big ones but great eating. Glad you had a good day there, I love days like that too, awesome!

[@isaacibnoumaryama5779]

[@Snowman666]

[@hicktownguy2]

owsome video bro had me cracking up

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks for watching, and the comment!

[@outdoorswithtez2131]

Use spinners on that river mouth it is by far the best way to catch the kahawai

[@timsteven4116]

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks Tim, not bad for a old fulla

[@tuakanakoreteinaki2890]

[@shane0nz]

Another choice adventure bro, do you know how i can get rid of all the moisture when i smoke kahawai? Only use a portable 1, when i pull out the fridge too much moisture, too mushy my whanau dont like it like this, might buy some netting and put in the sun before cooking

[@ralfokaukau4547]

[@debbiesimpson8861]

Was the camp site, where an elderly man who used to breed pig dogs, and wrote a book on how to train them, live? Or lived, or used to stay etc lol. It looks like the place Dad and. Used to go to pick up wool, the man had two or three sheep. So was a few years worth of wool all covered in dust lol. It looks like the same place. Looks like it was a good few days away, and the weather behaved for you. The young fella u took with u. How did his fishing go?

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

That would be just past Torere that fulla, not sure his name. Devante got a snapper and a kahawai. Did film him a couple of times but there was nothing on his hook.

[@saltdogg]

[@Chur_Cuz]

Is the motu running

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Not running this day but always come home with a feed from there

[@jaceNZ75]

I think we've used "motu" to mean something else. "motu" its not a fish. But we do luv smoked kahawai, best in raw fish. Orsum place...

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Have you fished this spot jace? Pretty awesome spot, well liked by many. I caught more than everyone else as I used bait. Always got to bring both bait and spinners here, one will always do better.

[@jaceNZ75]

Yea looks familiar aye, not your first vid there though.. Every summer we would head over to spend a couple weeks in Te Kaha, Makatu and Thornton with Whanau, ALWAYS loved it, but we're Westies aye, Rocks,Rips and BIG waves, couldn't wait to get back to our whenua in Marokopa.. Its why I like watching "weka digital media" good times..

[@cococharliematenga4829]

Awesome bro, thanks for sharing.
