Fish just started biting good again with the water temp dropping slightly, Got a 52cm snapper in 2-3m off Browns Bay the other week.

[@c-westfishing7230]

Great to hear . I haven't fished browns bay for a year or so now

[@johnriddell5822]

[@oliverdowthwaite5519]

Mean video bro. Been slaying with lures in the Waitemata harbour also, they said it couldn't be done.

[@c-westfishing7230]

Yep I used to softbait right up to the estuarys up greenhithe and get good snappers

[@lukepaul2882]

Kaipara harbour been smashing those ocean angler jelly babies. Bro it’s been going off out there.

[@c-westfishing7230]

Good to hear. I am up there next week

[@lukepaul2882]

@@c-westfishing7230 must admit, we been fishing the graveyard. Smashing them on softies and slow jigs. Black jelly babies getting the bigger fish. Can’t beat the kaipara aye. Can’t wait for your next upload bro. Good to see you back uploading! Chur bro

[@c-westfishing7230]

@@lukepaul2882 thanks mate appreciate it.

[@W1nterzzs]

where in the manukau is that

[@craigsimons5111]

Awesome to see. I have been rock fishing out there heaps but never seen any kayakers. Usually head out to muscle farms which is a big drive. How do you find the current out there?

[@bigmuddyyakkanz5760]

Choice bro!! it's definitely a myth with the softies lol

[@c-westfishing7230]

Big Muddy Yakka. I like the name

[@SB-fu5pm]

Where did you launch again?? Is it far to walk from carpark?

[@jasonalbert2180]

Good to see another vid bro, what was the batter you used ?

[@c-westfishing7230]

Batter was baking powder. Flour.cornflour. salt pepper and water. Stir until your favored consistency

[@wildadventuresnz536]

Great content 🔥🔥

[@stuartroberts1409]

Hi Enjoyed the video. I’m new to sea fishing and wondering what rods and reels are you using? Especially the soft bait one as I’d like to give that a go! Cheers

[@c-westfishing7230]

Shimano Stradic reel and a shimano Catana rod. 7foot

[@smee85nz50]

Been waiting for some fishing 🤣🤣🤣. When is your next colab with weka media digital? Those look yummy asss.

[@benny5899]

How does this kayak compare to something like a reload?

[@c-westfishing7230]

I've been using this one for around 4 years. Lots of offshore paddles and many fish caught. cost around $750 I think but they don't make this particular model anymore as this has a live bait tank. very stable though and weighs around 21kg. It gets Abit of water over the front through swell but you get wet on any kayak regardless. Ive never owned a viking kayak so cant really give much feedback there except that they are nz made

[@hayimtoast5clips982]

also how long do you normally wait for a fish

[@emperornugz89]

Hey bro, How did you get that bugger off your car?

[@c-westfishing7230]

The kayak? I have a technique but I just lift it off at one end and swivel it around on my roof racks.

[@soufslum]

What kind of radio is that?

[@c-westfishing7230]

Digitech

[@hayimtoast5clips982]
