Catching Huge Fish - in a massive work up of Kahawai - Auckland fishing

There are few sights that stir the fishing blood more than a school of kahawai in full attack mode. When they are really on the bite, kahawai can be almost too easy to catch, but some days they can drive anglers to distraction by their fickleness. Despite the sight of fish slashing and splashing after bait-fish kahawai can be particularly fussy about what they will and will not eat. We came across this massive feeding frenzy on a ball of bait fish by Kahawai driving them up from below and birds diving from above. It was all on and decided to join in. It was ALL ON and we had a great time. Hope you enjoy watching us catch these amazing fish. Kahawai are a truly great fighting fish (rough translation in Maori is brave/strong water - a reference to the fact that these fish put up a fight) called Eastern Australian Salmon in Australia. Kahawai are found only in New Zealand & Australia.
