Fishing - Bait Cannon - Drama Down The Harbour Police Turn Up!

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Kia ora everyone, Mark and Hyeshin from Fishing Reminder came to Whakatāne to meet up with a couple of fishing supply businesses and we get to try out one of the things they were gifted. Always good to catch up with these two, and you can find out more by checking out their KZbin channel. www.youtube.com/@Fishingreminder

[@Fishingreminder]

Always a pleasure meeting up with you and Rubba. A great edit, really enjoyed the video from start to finish. What a fantastic couple of days. We'll have a video up soon on our channel about the manufacturing of the bait cannon locallly in Te Teko. It'll be a very interesting watch :)

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Enjoyed hooking up again Mark, we have a lot of fun don't we? Look forward to the next adventure. Safe travels down south 🙂

[@muzzasmsmadness1081]

Most of those problems are overcome by using the frozen plug. It provides a good seal if it is slightly melted when inserting. Plus the bait and trace are inside the ice so don't provide any resistance or get tangled when launched. You can use a smaller sinker (or even a grapel one) because of the weight of the ice. You can also put plenty of burley in the plug. so as it all melts tada

[@stevejohnson810]

Awesome..love NZ..

[@yanphuc]

In the future I think you might want to shove in a piece of paper as a wad before putting the lead it. This way less air pressure will escape from the sides of the lead. Essentially it will push the paper and create a seal around the lead which will use the air to its full potential like how blackpowder guns are loaded.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Not mine but Mark might see this, thanks for the info

[@williesful]

Good stuff and good luck. Will be interesting to see what’s around in that very vast land.

[@shanedavies9564]

That was awesome mike I think the biggest cast on a surf caster is 270mters they hold some competition sum where I saw this that cannon is a weapon mate ,by the way I had to put in a new kumu kumu seed as the winter got the first one ,but this plant is growing hard out , fingers crossed , cheers , shaneo, Nelson, 👍,

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Hi Shaneo, had a lot of fun filming this vlog and trying out the cannon. Another way to get your bait out. You should be feasting well on kamokamo this summer, awesome news 🙂

Kia ora my brother Mike another beautiful☀️hah😋 over hea ohiwa harbour ni place spinner ons 🎣✨🌝 seafood 🥬pilchard delights salted anchovies👍🍛🌭🔥🥩🍳🧅🍅🥗 asparagus👌Ohope scenery awesomeness 😁☺️😋🤳🐟cannon bait💯🧀🍞👏♥️🐕

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Kia ora bro, it's a great place to hang out before the tourists arrive to enjoy our beautiful harbour for a few weeks.

[@Stetsonhatman]

Clever, this is far simpler than using a drone to fly to the bait out further.

[@user-dy6zf1ct2r]

You can purchase a used DJI Phantom 3 dron fairly cheap and place your bait exactly where you want it. Only limited by line capacity of the real. You can even pan the camera down to look into the water if it's clear. Once bait is dropped just hit one button and it will fly back and land where it took off

[@bill3641]

Cool, it's a practical application for a "Spud" gun .....

[@lordkered]

if you have spare tube, its easier to throw your weight, rig and bait into the spare tube... fill up with water and freeze. Perfectly sized ice missiles that keep everything together and stop the bait from flying off ;)

[@patriciamaka7802]

Exciting stuff Mike

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thank you Patricia, I do enjoy going to the harbour, one of our favourite spots for activities.

[@adeptusmagi]

Id guess its not abrasion caused by the cannon but more to do with line stretch caused by the rapid acceleration and initial slack take up

[@lisasnell8927]

That bomb was a beast... once you figure it out😁 man it emptied out your reel in no time! 200mtrs worth like far out?!😲 rubba enjoyed her day out as usual too🤗🤗 nice bit of entertainment with the popo there lol cheers Mike and Fishing Reminder🙏💞

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Nice to have a tutu with some new gadgets Lisa and it attracted some attention from the campers. I ended up having a good chat with the two guys whose boat was found and rowed back with the kayak. Shout out to you two, not sure I should mention names though.😬😃

[@RiseFNBR]

love watching these amazing video

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Glad you like them!

[@teealbert9838]

That was good i enjoyed that, like all of them if only it could launch a sand sinker id be sold

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

A sand sinker would be a good addition to this system

[@chestercraven4660]

Kia ora Bro Mark and Hyeshin great vid guys love the content. Peace and love from the Whanganui Awa ✌❤

[@SoleAdventuresNZ]

That bait cannon was pretty Impressive. Lucky your line had a good knot ae 😂. Awesome vid bro 👌

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Haha yea bro, haven't seen the end of the reel since I re spooled it, legend knot 💪🏽😀

[@anotteroutdoors]

I've done the bait canon before and ended up going to the drone. I do miss firing bait out to the horizon though, great fun. Also I'd tell Mark to position the canon pressure chamber away from the family jewels when hes launching, because if something went wrong it might hurt a bit 😂

[@Fishingreminder]

Hahaha, good tip. I'll keep that in mind next time 😂

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Ouch 😬

[@charlieeparaima825]

1st time watching.... I have not fished in Ohiwa in a very long time. I use to fish a lot out at thornton and Matataa. Watching from brisbane, enjoyed your video mate....cheers

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Ohiwa is on and off most of the time, summer night fishing is my favourite time for snapper there.

[@timbopaki542]

Awww smoochy rubba 😊

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Rubba wanted a sausage 😀

[@JenniferA886]

Hi mike. Great vid. Appreciate the uploads 👍👍👍

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks Jennifer for watching!

[@kuri5771]

Seems way to violent on the rigging and bait, be good home security for pesky robbers lol imagine copping that lead but plug, straight up the clakka 🤣

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Probably needs a silencer for home defence, wake up the neighbours 😀

[@morskasvinja2049]

Just lov listening to a sizzling bbq..is that a improvised grenade launcher

[@tarunkopanati2643]

In this cannon fishing more fishes to get, large size, long distance is

[@tanioraaura1274]

I be using that weight caster for bird scaring. Nemine using lead. Use lemons or any fruit that would fit the cannon barrel 🤔. Less fishing gear is best.

[@timbopaki542]

Good Kai 👍, with good friends 😊

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

The first kai we had was the best, smoked kingfish belly and lemon dill pikpiko

[@johnrowlette7430]

Ok boys, CATCH SOME FISH NOW.

[@EthanSkinner-vb9ww]

Surprised how good the Shimano bait runner reel on Mark's rod performed, I wonder what the rod was in the combo?

[@eddiehope8291]

It's basically a BIG air gun! But freezing a tube with that diameter, including sinker and baited hook(s) and defrosting for a few minutes, before firing, should give a free shot for max distance without friction in the tube and tangling whilst flying! Than slowly the bait/hook will be presented to catch.....! Could it be this simple?

[@susieblossom1337]

In the present climate in the westen world if your not doing something wrong your probably not awake

[@juliantorres8403]

Man were have you been I haven't seen you in a long time .

[@robertmurray2843]

All that gear and no fish 😂 id prefer good old fashioned cast like matuas way simple

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Interesting concept though

[@markdawsonbruce4457]

Bro where is Rubba 😅😊😅😊😅, i had to say that, even if you said rubba is not allowed at this place😂

[@kalalatauapai3500]

Omg raw fish that snapper but I prefer tarakih,i kawai Moki or red tuna for the raw fish which I totally prefer fish part from flounder fried nom nom

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Was a bit small that one, this is not Auckland, some trevelly would have been nice 😀

[@trinityparore4721]

i didn't want to say it but, big hooks, big baits, big fish, i personally use quarter fillets of kahawai or grey mullet, left to maggot up, then salted, which firms up the fish and kills the maggots (pour the water off so it doesn't soak back into the bait), it stinks, but the fish don't seem to complain and the bait stays on the hook so the little fish can't nibble your bait off in one go. i ain't no fishing expert, but i've done it to survive for a year with no money and very little support, till i ran out of fish hooks and my net got too shredded , then i decided to rejoin societies rat race again(no money=no resources)

What’s your opinion of the Bait Cannon.. for someone unable to cast out.. due to balance issues?

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Drone would be better

Oh I had to day something bro....ya doin it all wrong eh 😆😆👍

[@cjod33]

Funniest thing is , the majority of fish caught from shore are within ten feet of the shore.

[@morskasvinja2049]

Just use a remote controlled boat or drone that looks dangerous hope it don't explode

[@caseyrawiri5193]

Ive got feeling rubbaz not a super fan of the cannon cool gizmo tho

[@user-mc5vs1zo2m]

Use the rod holder ???😮

[@royjervis200]

Hey weka What do you reckon about using a little 12v compressor to pump it up?

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

That would be the easiest way to do it

[@joshe3713]

might need to find new fishing spots bro

[@brendonosborne2119]

Hi Mike, that bait cannon looks fun ! what were the two rods and reels you were using ? The reel that got spooled was an Okuma Distance Surf Arena is that roiht ? and was that paired with an Okuma Sensor Tip ? If so, what length is the rod and do you usually get pretty good casting distance with that reel/set up ?

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

You have good eyes, that is correct. I don't like the Surf Arena very much, the bail arm keeps knocking the winder when you winding in, bloody annoying! The rod is okay for the price, not sure the length but I like the wooden butt. Not my best cheaper Okuma set up I have owned. I did like the feel of the balzer in this video but I can't see it handling our bigger saltwater fish for too long. The butt on Mark's had tape on it.

[@brendonosborne2119]

Thanks for the quick reply. But other than the bail arm issue do you get good casting distance with that reel ? What is your best cheap Okuma set up then ? Cheers B @@WekaDigitalMediaNZ

[@johntripp2028]

Treat that air launcher like a gun. Assume it is charged and loaded. Never put the tube against your chest. She has her finger inside of the tube. Use your brains my friend. Now go catch some fish.😊

Mike... Why do you listen to the morons that whinge and complain and go out leaving rubba behind. You know as well as I do rubba will be feeling rejected right now. He's part of the family and Dad's best mate. Its not right that you should leave him at home because of some morons complaints .

It's the rules dude?🤦🏼‍♂️your the moron if you do get that😬

Rubba is getting older now and does struggle been out so late. The night she was with me, she had enough long before we came home.
