Giant Swamp Eels, Escaping Mt DOOM, & Surfcasting the Dunes of Whatipu

[@adpatrick7239]

Awesome vid man Fantastic way to end the year and kick off the next! Spots definitely a gem and good to see healthy tuna lurking deep in the swamplands👍

[@DarkmoonAngler]

Very healthy 'Tuna'. Probably as no road access and too far walk for most Aucklanders. Also protected as area part of a Auckland Regional park. Was good to see and fun to feed them. Glad you enjoyed. Cheers for the comment.

Great vid as always bro. What a hard case that young fullah is.

[@DarkmoonAngler]

Cheers bro, he is a crazy one...

[@saltnfreshwaternz1974]

Nate is a legend! Definitely some very epic footage you have incorporated into this vid. Decent fishing as well. Happy near years

[@DarkmoonAngler]

Cheers mate. Over 400 scenes in this one..lol. Not to sure if what Nate got up to was even legal...lol but yeah he is out there doing more than what most dream of doing...... true adventurer. Happy NY

yo ant, awesome video bro!! I had an awesom time in NZ, back in Austria it´s cold as! Have a good 2020, stay safe and we´ll catch up when i come back;)

[@DarkmoonAngler]

When you come back we will hire some gear and I'll teach you to scuba dive. Then you can teach me to para glide.....

@@DarkmoonAngler hell yea!!! that sounds awesome bro!!!

[@lesliekistanministry191]

Wonderful video, I am surely going to write tide and bite times from now on. Thank you

[@DarkmoonAngler]

Writing things down is just how I remember best. But if your away from civilization for a while its a good idea. Sunrise and set, a long range weather forecast, and tide heights are also valuable data to have.

[@lesliekistanministry191]

@@DarkmoonAngler Thanks again.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video far out must have been one hell of a walk to get there but still you got a snapper which is a bonus lol maybe i'll try there next time im at whatipu. plus that was a good size tope you got too

[@DarkmoonAngler]

Plenty of those Tope around and a few bronzies too.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

@@DarkmoonAngler haha the topes r fun to catch although shark numbers has been increasing lately.

[@mattharrison9550]

Top notch awesomeness!

[@DarkmoonAngler]

Cheers mate.

[@captragnutz523]

Another top vid darkmoon! Looks like that earlier recon trip payed off. A nice spot on west coast killed it.👍

[@DarkmoonAngler]

Thanks. Definitely a hot spot for the west coast of Auckland.

[@poozandweeez]

ya reckon its better to walk from karekare? ive always wondered what karekare beach actually fishes like

[@DarkmoonAngler]

Slightly shorter distance from Karekare and there are a few good guts and holes on the way. from Whatipu its all shallow white water with a massive long shore rip caused by the harbour entrance.

great stuff mate! looking forward to your future content! I just posted a video fishing with a $10 Rod and reel :')
