Fun Day Catching Snapper at 300m - Catch & Cook Fish Roe in The Skin!

Adrian Rubba and I go for a drone fish to catch some snapper for dinner and we caught some tasty fish at 250m to 350m which were full of roe. Roe is one of my favourite parts of the fish that I love to eat besides the eyes and head.
I get some fish battered at a local fish and chip shop which was delicious. I also cook some tasty roe wrapped in fish skin and smoke some fish which most of it was given away.

[@glensteep4239]

Hi Mike great idea with the skin, next time maybe some egg dip will help skin to stick to the roe.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Kia ora Glen, what about egg dip then panko crumbed? Comment by Bruce suggested a toothpick

[@pally15]

great ! snapper is my nr1 NZ fish...pitty I was at Your beautiful island only 3 months in 2018 ...hope I will visit again next year..😎

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Snapper is fun to catch and have tasty heads 🙂

Welcome to the channel and the powdered milk makes the coffee taste better!

[@GunShot101]

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

That drone gets the bait out fast, just takes a long time to wind in 🎣

Yummy snapper ❤

What a great video Mike... lovely to see Adrian and with his drone! Those were some nice fish you caught👌 and the tasty cook up!! Skin and roe yarmmy my favourites 😋😋😋 cheers Mike hope your all well over there💞💞

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks Lisa, I only ate the roe skin and half a snapper head. 😬 Was a great day with the cuz Adrian 👌👌

[@saltybarenuts]

awesome vid mike, cheers

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thank you for tuning in 🎣

[@taitimoproductions4801]

Is Mr Calby related to Wilson from Home Improvements? cool Video. thank you

[@tuianarangi666]

Maybe if you smoke the seafood sausage roll first it will crisp up the skin enough to stabilise the roe for seafood rolls

[@henrymcclutchie5372]

My partner recently scored me the same drone, be cool if you mention rod types, braid/backbone poundage etc so us newbie’s know what to get for the set up. Love your content my bro keep up the mean mahi hopefully see you out there sometime I’m always fishing Thornton walkers area, wouldn’t mind a Hawai trip Chur bro.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Kia ora Henry, good score on the drone 🙏 The cuz Adrian has mentioned a few times in our past vids his gear. All I know is I have 25lb braid on my reel for drone fishing. 🎣 It's a great drone!

[@cheekypukeko]

Yummmmmmy! Awww that battered snapper looked tasty, and that fried skin and roe at the end looks lovely. Farout now i have to go buy some fish n chips for tea lol. Beautiful closeups with that camera. What kind of camera do you use Mike? I'd love to start saving my pingas to invest in a camera like yours.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

I don't eat battered fish very often but I really enjoyed it bro, great shop too😀 I have a Canon M50 as my main camera when not in the field and this is the 22mm f1.2 pancake lens, good for close ups and low light. Only films in 1080p, 4k is crap but can upscale to 4k.

[@shanedavies9564]

Great vlog mike , cheers , shaneo, Nelson, 👍

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks Shaneo, hope the kamokamo growing well for you

[@two_gun_gageyt1727]

Nice vid🔥sucks we have no snapper here

[@adamheazlett1179]

Fish for the future Used to buy rainbow trout fillets farm raised $ 10 a kilo

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Pass on farmed fish thanks, leave that to one's who don't fish.

[@boycelawrence]

Bro the skin n roe looks mean as, will definitely try that. Was thinking maybe toothpick or similar to hold it together might work ...

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Kia ora Bruce, toothpick sounds like a good idea, I think I will try that with the kahawai roe coming soon. But it was tasty cooking it separately 🤔 😄

[@user-yg5do9en6c]

Nice catch bro awesome🎣👍🏾

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thank you, a lot of reeling in which gives you a longer snapper nod session on the rod. 😃🎣

[@iain79]

Looks amazing mate 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

It's a great spot to hang out 🎣

[@tautahitahi2172]

E hoa you should invest in your own drone, there quite cheap, just need to shop around 👌👌

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

I just sold my seahorse kontiki last week, sitting in the shed for the past 15 years. 😬

[@JoshJoshin]

keep it up unkil

[@zsuperiorbeing5731]

You should sale your homemade seasoning bro. like what Stef the Maori does

[@fookutube501]

Smoke roe and liver are the best,liver remind me of pate

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Liver and onions 👌👌

[@nevillelamont6109]

Another awesome video love watching your stuff mate cool as. How long did you smoke your kahawai for bro??

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Smoke it till you think it's ready as not all cooks are the same. Could be too hot or not hot enough but the longer and slower the temp the better for a long not hot smoked fish.

[@JoshJoshin]

mean videos outder

[@nevillelamont6109]

Never mind bro lol I asked the question how long did u smoke the kahawai for before I got to the end of the video lol

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Next time use a toothpick to hold the skin together while frying

[@MegaSinglechick]

Her gorgeous girl Rubba ❤. Nice mike, yummy ..

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Rubba loves going on adventures then she has enough and wants to go home. 🙂

[@chrishallowes9729]

Hey Mike, I am heading your way with my fishing drone over the New Year period. Are you up for a fish?

[@ivanwhitehead2071]

😮

[@JoshJoshin]

baked not fried 😂😂😂🎉

[@adamheazlett1179]

Get some red potatos cut and cook in the oven less mess a little bit healthier

[@scottholmes8967]

Tino reka

[@seandrummond6525]

A fork is great to scale

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

True that

[@bedeudy149]

How does the drone drop the line?

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

It has a release button

[@adamheazlett1179]

Do you have beach worms in NZ? Where you gather oysters you may find blood worms.Hard work use a pronged hoe 90 degrees to handle grave diggers hoe is the best.You will never know if you dont give it a go..To old now used catch prawns by hand even my toes no one believes me.Your flounder posi might be good for prawns use a drag net night and somewhere to beach the net ie low tide you may also have day prawns taste great do not keep well.When they run to the sea at night a bit eerie at first but when they go hard catch in your hand if no net.Tip wear shoes get in before Xmas Have a good one Adam
