Exploring Stunning Fishing Spots On The Karikari Peninsula, Far North, NZ

[@cameronwin6696]

That Rahui at Matai Bay has been in place for 3 or 4 years now to build up fish numbers again. The Rangiputa spot that you moved to fishes well at night or early morning. Nice video cheers

[@walkintomydream7208]

Do you know why they started to do Rahui at Maitai Bay back then?

[@Fishingreminder]

yeah, we did this bit just for fun. We knew there was a Rahui there. I think it's good. We should have more marine reserves and rahuis.

[@cameronwin6696]

@@walkintomydream7208 The local maori felt that the area was getting too hammered and they weren't seeing the same fish, cray, paua and kina numbers that they'd had in the past.

[@walkintomydream7208]

@@cameronwin6696 thanks for the info. That’s nice to protect the eco system. Hope to see the improvement😉 . Wondering if we can do it more populated areas.

[@StuWNZ]

Such a beautiful area around there.

[@Fishingreminder]

it really is

[@pnoelb]

I grew up in Mangonui and Rangiputa was always a special place. It's like being in the island's the water is so clear. Thanks for the drone footage I've fished there for years along that beach but now I know exactly how it looks. Love your content keep up the good work.

[@Fishingreminder]

Cheers Phil, what a great place to grow up. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[@toaniue2210]

used to dive for kina at matai before the rahui. caught my land based snapper pb at Rangiputa off the rocks at the end last year got a 69cm 65 and a 55 within an hour and a half

[@Fishingreminder]

nice, great fishing out there :)

[@enlightenment6278]

really nice video guys

[@Fishingreminder]

Thanks mate, appreciate that

[@StuWNZ]

That bird was quite relaxed about it!

[@Fishingreminder]

haha, yeah. I was surprised how calm it was

[@jasonhutt9117]

See how relaxed that bird was change of light fishing is usually very good that harbor will be great to have a kayak

[@Fishingreminder]

Cheers mate. Yeah I thought about kayaking but the current is very strong. Only possible at slack tide I think.

[@bbadomi]

ㅜㅜRAHUI 저도 지난 번에 캠퍼카 여행 했을때 봤던 사인이네요. 와투위위 TOP10 도 그렇고, 반가운 경치 나와서 좋네요 ^^

[@walkintomydream7208]

이고😂 아쉽지만 생태계 보호차원에서 하는거라니깐 낚린이를 위해서는 좋은거겠네요! 그래두 경치가 넘 예쁘고 해서 꼭 다시 가고 싶네요😅

[@Kahawai68]

Wow…that was a really patient gannet

[@Fishingreminder]

Haha, yeah :)

[@highoctanechampion]

Love your video's guys. I've just got back into surfcasting properly again. Spent many years as a kid fishing around Auckland with my late father. Trying different spots on Eastern beaches, Nth Head down to Maraetai with little luck but will definitely try the mussel bait 😉

[@Fishingreminder]

Thanks mate! Yeah surfcasting in Auckland is a little more difficult. Your best chances are the west coast beaches or perhaps in the Manukau harbour.

[@rob.e.t.9107]

Surprised the dairy never mentioned or had some sought of signage informing where a Rahui was in place. Upside the fish can swim wherever there's water.

[@Fishingreminder]

yeah, probably a good idea if they would put up some signage at the dairy. We actually knew there was a Rahui. Just went there for fun anyway. It's a beautiful spot for swimming. Next time I'll go for a snorkel.

[@davincifpv3983]

Nice one!! A video about Saltwater Fly Fishing next? Or something like how to target Kahawai (mostly overlooked) ? Cheers from Auckland, keep up with the great work!! Andy

[@Fishingreminder]

Great suggestion! I've been wanting to target kahawai on my fly rod for ages. Good challenge for 23 :)

[@davincifpv3983]

@@Fishingreminder SAME!! KY on the fly from the shore is my goal for 23

[@Fishingreminder]

@@davincifpv3983 Nice! Let us know how you get on with it.

[@fisheatrepeat]

Awesome gutted about the lack of fish but wicked drone shots

[@Fishingreminder]

haha, yeah a kingfish would have been nice. But one fish is enough for us anyway, better than none :) How was the fishing down in Gisborne?

[@fisheatrepeat]

@Fishingreminder yea eh it was really good!! When the wind was down and we'd passed the rahui haha

[@da6jdmgarage595]

Caught a nice big blue cod off the rocks at matai Bay back in 1996 as a 9 year old with the family great place

[@Fishingreminder]

o wow, that was a luck catch. Was it during winter?

[@da6jdmgarage595]

@Fishingreminder nah I'm not sure I'm sure Easter holidays or summer holidays it was quite a hike up and over down to a solid steep rock face and drops into some fairly deep water. We have a batch and great spot in oakura,whangaruru been rock fishing there since a kid. But got spearfishing gear last year can't wait to head up when this weather clears up. Love your videos keep them coming we should link up for a shore dive sometime.

[@da6jdmgarage595]

My father was jumping with Joy I remember it was a lucky catch were targeting snapper tarakihi and travs

[@Fishingreminder]

@@da6jdmgarage595 yeah mate, for sure some good diving around there. We're on our way South at the moment but hopefully will be coming back up here towards the end of the year.

[@SouthWestNz]

That seagull is the best shark bait you can get

[@Fishingreminder]

Haha, have never thought of that

[@toshadavinci5379]

BEWARE: I pulled up to Matai bay and was reading the rahui sign (that you pictured)and a member of Iwi offered to punch my head in . He asked what I was doing , I said reading the sign then he rammed my car with his motorcycle. I asked what was the problem -he continued to threaten me. Some militant bad news entitled Maori in this area look out.

[@Fishingreminder]

Thanks for the warning! What a horrible experience. This should be a place for everyone to enjoy.

[@tosha5052]

@@Fishingreminder 100% Sadly there are a few entitled scumbags that think they own the place.

[@tosha5052]
