Catching Big BLUE COD On MICRO JIGS | NZ Fishing

Boat fishing adventure for Big Blue Cod in Oamaru, South Island, New Zealand
Fishing with Micro Jigs from my trusty Aqua Marina Air Cat inflatable fishing boat.
Hector Dolphins following my boat for a while plus seals and shags close by.
We are also visiting the Oamaru Penguin Colony and watch them waddle up to their nesting places.

Another great video. Pretty gutsy taking the boat out there, but your efforts were rewarded! Nice to see a bit of wit creeping in there, too. Cheers.

[@Fishingreminder]

cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the video. Always good fun exploring a new area.

[@kingmarz3635]

YES! This is the video Ive been waiting all my life for! Thank you

[@Fishingreminder]

haha, well there you have it 😂

[@StuWNZ]

Well I've been toiling away in my garage most of the day catching up with your latest videos and it's been a generally pleasant day! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@Fishingreminder]

haha, glad the videos helped making the day more pleasant :) Hope to catch up next time!

[@rajivsiram5902]

Awesome Video. Was waiting for this one. You make driving the boat look so easy. Hope you guys had a good time in the South Island. ❤❤ Did you try fishing the Twizel/Tekapo canals.

[@Fishingreminder]

Cheers mate, yeah we did spend a bit of time around Twizel. Another video coming up soon :)

[@deanhoward7534]

I love your sense of humor 😂. Pretty bave going out there in your little boat, but what a great result! Great bit of editing work to. Very witty!

[@Fishingreminder]

Cheers Dean, glad you enjoyed the vid and my attempts at humour, haha. We've been catching loads of fish on the grim reapers. Bit behind on our videos but one of the upcoming videos will be Kahawai carnage on the grim reapers at the river mouth. They went nuts for them. How is the Salmon fishing?

Oamaru! Great video, cool seeing blue cod being caught so close to the shore.

[@walkintomydream7208]

Looking forward to visit you again! Love Oamaru!🥰

[@Fishingreminder]

Cheers Daniel! Hopefully see you again soon :)

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome session mark those were some good size blue cod. plus pretty cool how u got to see those hector dolphins up close plus the penguins. the gen jig did a great job on the blue cod. would have been a good opportunity to try a slider for the blue cod.

[@Fishingreminder]

cheers Peter, yeah I actually wanted to try some glowbite lures that day. But the window of opportunity was closing fast as the wind picked up and I really wanted some dinner. So I just used my all time favourite jigs as I'm most confident they will produce the results :) Have you had much luck with sliders? I think I've seen you using them in one of your vids recently. I find them a little to heavy for my fishing style.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

@@Fishingreminder tbh i use them because they guarantee good results especially wen ur out deep and the fishing is super slow. and personally i really enjoy using them so easy and catches a lot of fish. plus u dont have to work too hard either which is a bonus

[@Fishingreminder]

@@BasicFishingNZ that's interesting , shows how the fishing styles and preferences differ quite a bit :)

[@BasicFishingNZ]

@@Fishingreminder yea of course i still enjoy soft baiting in the shallows

[@Fishingreminder]

@@BasicFishingNZ Btw. I'm keen to know what is your favourite slider? And what size/weight do you usually use? I got some grumpy fish I want to try. They just seem a little too heavy for my usual setup. Perhaps a slightly heavier overhead outfit is better suited for sliders?

[@wtfftwshrug7956]

You guys should try Moeraki 👍😉

[@Fishingreminder]

Yeah been very keen on that but it was too windy when we were there. Next Time!

[@rajivsiram5902]

How far away from the Boat Ramp did you have to go Mark?

[@Fishingreminder]

I didn't go too far. Perhaps 3-4 km. There was quite a bit of current out there.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Nice solo mission Mark in the boat, how do you rate blue cod for eating?

[@Fishingreminder]

Cheers Mike, blue cod is probably my favourite eating fish. It has a mild taste and great texture. So I would give it a 10 out of 10 :)

[@bigsmellysockhead]

Maybe the french guy was thinking of puffins?

[@Fishingreminder]

haha maybe, I had to look up puffins. They do look like little penguins 😆

[@bigsmellysockhead]

@@Fishingreminder It's a charitable explanation for "we have flying penguins in France" lol

[@vanoriding]

Have you tried French pass for blue cods ? 😊

[@Fishingreminder]

Yeah, awesome spot, eh. One of my favourites. Have an old video kayakfishing for blue cod there, but haven't been back since :)

[@vanoriding]

@@Fishingreminder nice spot on the left side . Fishing from the rocks, one Cod every 10 min 😅 so so easy

[@Fishingreminder]

@@vanoriding haha yeah for sure. just a pain sifting through all the undersized ones :)
