Fishing the Wild West coast of New Zealand

#fishing #snapper and kingfish #the lateral line The month of December is an awesome time of year to go fishing in New Zealand’s beautiful harbours. But, Nato has been wanting to cast lures along the wild west coast of New Zealand for years and the weather is finally going to allow that to happen. The boys are fishing in the harbour on day one. All going to plan? day 2 the boys will be leaving the shelter of the harbour and attacking the mighty West Coast. As always it’s all about trying to have as much fun as possible and catching some thing to eat.

Sensational content, you guys keep producing the goods! Appreciate the effort it must take to organise and edit this stuff for our enjoyment, thanks fellas

[@TheLateralLine]

Very very lucky to be able to use Dicks music! It just makes it all work 😎 thanks for watching 😁

[@stephen.oreilly-nugent8293]

If I’m not watching your clips for the amazing fishing then I’m watching it to see what gets cooked next. Love your work men.

[@TheLateralLine]

When I first started filming a bit of the cooking, I thought it might put some people off 🤔 but, we get so many good comments about the cooking and food we eat that it’s now all part of the fun 😁 we really appreciate the comment brother 👍😎

[@martinbedford4796]

As always it's another great episode.... been a mad fisherman for years and have recently purchased my 1st boat. Can't wait to get out and explore our mighty country in the coming years. You guys inspire us to get out and what can only be described as the best pastime ever.

[@TheLateralLine]

My brother 😁 you have no idea how good it is to hear that people are getting out in the wide open spaces and going exploring and fishing! Especially when we have helped with the motivation 😎 I hope you have as much fun as we do trying to catch something to eat 😁 Chur chur 👍

Great program. I am a Kiwi living in Darwin NT Aust and am quite jealous of your fishing adventures. I have done a fair bit of deer stalking in the Tararuas and once caught a kingfish in the Bay of Islands and a huge schnapper near the Makara coast. I am just saying that I can relate to your adventures and that there should be more of it. Great going Guys! And what a great boat. Cheers, Barrie Andrews

It's a pleasure to be able to take the opportunity to watch the show and I hope that you will be able to continue to work with your team and provide a great experience for your viewers and the future anglers to be learning from your experience and love of the outdoors.... I have definitely been learning how to approach different types of weather and techniques for snapper and the mighty king fish.. My mother is now based in New Zealand from south Africa as she has her partner Gary who is a new zealander that loves fishing. Gary has a 24 footer boat that is very nice from the photos he has sent me and my mother has been catching huge 10kegger snappers. I will be visiting her next year and maybe I will be able to make it to see you guys for a session out... Big up for the work and fun. you make the videos great to watch never a dull moment even when you're not catching them... I am living in Mauritius and if ever you want to make a trip out here you have free accommodation and the fishing will not disappoint you believe you me... Cool Nato and marlin maybe see you around... Peace and love... tight lines.. From lucky luck Mauritius Indian Ocean....

[@TheLateralLine]

Wow 😳 thanks so much for taking the time to right that comment 👍 we really appreciate it 😁 if you are a keen fisho then NZ is a great place to come visit. I hope that fishing gods are smiling upon you while your here. Chur chur my South African brother 😎👍😁

Hey Nathan and Milan, I just watched your video. Great episode. Makes me home sick! I know that area well. Next time, head to Albatross point, and work the deep channels in close to the coast with your soft baits. A bit of chum or burley would also be super effective. When I managed to get a day with good vid on the west coast, I was free diving around there and snapper up to 10 pound were swimming right up to me. It’s like the snapper had no fear of me. This was in February I think, in the evening time.

[@TheLateralLine]

You legend! thank you 😁 I wanted to go where you said also after looking at the map! But, Milan thought different and I just went with the flow 😂 next time I’ll listen to me 😂😂 thanks for watching 😎

4:20 back in WW2 the coffee the troops had access to was apparently horrendous. They used to add saly to take away the bitterness and make it more palatable. Perhaps the salt air also has the effect of making coffee better.
