[@timskinner2040]

Thanks Rob, Just discovered your videos. Very helpful.

[@davidkappes4990]

Thanks for your video I love it I wish I lived near. I live in Minnesota United states of America I started Kayak fishing in 2014 pretty new to the sport I enjoy the heck out of it here in the Land of 10 thousand lakes. I am hooked. You are an incredible angler keep the videos going I promise Ill watch you. I am 47 years old this sport makes me feel young again.

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks for your comments and great to hear you are enjoying the sport of kayak fishing. Appreciate your support good luck with your fishing from the kayak

[@GimmieTheGaff]

[@NZkayakfishing]

Hey Will thanks for your positive feedback and will be doing more of this in my new monthly shows here: kzbin.info/aero/PL6qqT_DN45Lb2Zf-cenQE-uodtc0QSvJf

[@NZkayakfishing]

[@samshepherd3959]

Really enjoying watching your content old and new plenty of good catches fun times and helpful tips that will serve me well as I move away from bait

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks Sam and good luck with moving away from natural bait, once you make the change you'll wish it was done sooner cheers

[@dsr20631]

Good video Rob, thanks for posting. I'm new to kayaking and live on the south coast of western australia.YTK's are definitely a target species of mine but tell me, if a big king is towing you into the rocks and its getting a bit close to the washy stuff what is the plan? Do I throw out the anchor or is that likely to be a dangerous move? I have an anchor trolley on my yak so i can position myself ok but not sure if it's the right thing to do?

[@mikeyshook]

Still aiming for a shot at mechanical jigging but time wont allow me yet. Great video as always Rob. Beauty of coromandel never fails.

[@NZkayakfishing]

thank you and it will happen one day cheers

[@NorthofThe49th]

Sweet fish. Thanks for sharing. I hope to get there one day to see your beautiful country and do some kayak fishing. Cheers!

[@NZkayakfishing]

Sorry this reply has taken so long. I hope you have made that dream come true thanks

[@samkarena8938]

Where in coromandel were you ?

[@SchecterNZKayakFishing]

Thumbs Rob, you're a legend! Could you share with us you're jigging setup? Reel, rod, braid to leader knot, how much leader you use, etc, etc, etc...

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks man and have since done a number of clips on how to set up the gear and more. Some are in the RSK show and others are available in individual clips so check out the channels videos some more cheers

[@michaelparker1602]

Great video! Love your channel.

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks

[@kiwi-eddie]

Great video mate,

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks

[@anamericangosefishing2107]

is that an anglers kayak because it looks like a round hull or is it a kayak version of a deep v hull, i usually see multi v hulls or multi channel hulls like my tidewater 80ss but in the 10' or 12' size range, i have built out riggers for my tidewater and plan to vertical jig the hudson.

[@NZkayakfishing]

The kayak I am using is the Ocean Kayak Prowler Ultra 4.3 similar to the Trident 4.3 its a very stable kayak.

[@nmolinaro62]

New subscriber. Really like your vids. Cheers.

[@NZkayakfishing]

Awesome and welcome cheers

[@hunterstevenson9561]

at the start of the vid when u where talking, was that papa aroha camping ground?

[@NZkayakfishing]

Yes it is Papa Aroha and one of my favourite places to fish from kayaks

[@hanna2nv]

Hey is a kayak thats 4.2 meters long 83 cm wide weight about 33 kilos and a capacity of 300 kilos suitable for this kind of fishing? It has 4 fixed rod holders plus one that swivels but no sounder sadly

[@NZkayakfishing]

Any kayak will catch fish but some are more suitable than other, just be sure to set your drag correctly so you are not pulled out by big fish.

[@dafrankfuter]

Nice catch ! What reel were you using ? Braid ?

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks the reel is a Fin-Nor Marquesa MA 16 and the line Rovex depth finder 50lb

[@matty6032]

I love fin nor best brand overheads and spining got the lethal 100 it is outstanding but looking to get one of there over heads do you recommend this over head

[@NZkayakfishing]

It is a great set for anyone getting into jigging but once you are ready look at Jigstar and Maxel as the difference is considerable cheers

[@GCJetskiFishing]

Hey mate nice video, what is it like jigging and fighting kings from a kayak? I fish from a ski so i'm in a more upright sitting position and can stand if needed... This looks like it would be hard work and a bit awkward. Great videos though

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks and fishing from a kayak for kingfish has its challenges but time spent gets the skills up, kingfish certainly tow you around its a fun ride when things go well. cheers

[@Saiserg]

"Pez Limón" in México they give great and fun fights! Good Video! greetings form Guadalajara México!

[@NZkayakfishing]

Great video bro!

[@NZkayakfishing]

Cheers mate!!!

[@winsonhan9429]

Thanks for giving me the gear you used 😀👍🏻.

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks

[@mrgabriale]

hey rob do you bleed your kingis? is it ok to do this on a kayak or would you be concerned about sharks?

[@NZkayakfishing]

Yes bleeding a kingfish is a concern during wamer months when predators like sharks are around. In winter its not a problem and use a fish threader to connect the fish before bleeding. During summer they are bleed in the rear well are that has the scuppers plugged to prevent the blood leaching out of course.

[@mrgabriale]

thanks rob, i really enjoy your videos. wouldn't mind seeing some more on free diving tips from a kayak. i wouldn't mind getting into that and learning more

[@NZkayakfishing]

Awesome and glad you enjoy them. In regards to tips on using the kayak for spearfishing. My new show Reel Screaming Kayaks will certainly be offering this in the future if you haven't seen the teaser then check it out the NZ Kayak Fishing channel cheers

[@mrgabriale]

Rob, i have watched the teaser many times. can't wait. i am fairly new to Kayak fishing. only been doing this for a year. soon i am planning my biggest trip to paddle to rangitoto island from devon port and then to motatapu island where i will stay the night. i love kayaking.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome lol nice sized kingfish

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks

[@denisrailey777]

Good fishing.

[@NZkayakfishing]

Sure was a bucket load of fun

[@ophammerdin8579]

Latin: Seriola Lalandi/Yellowtail, Amberjack. Its what you caught. This is the first I ever heard amberjack referred as kingfish. Kingfish aka sea mullet or kingcroaker is in the drum family or Latin: Sciaenidae. In other places it is sometimes referred to as whiting.

[@safeandy79]

kayak Mike Its a Kingfish you fool. I bet you're a Yank. People fly from all over the world to catch Kingfish in NZ. PS, well done googling latin names for fish Mike !!!

[@ophammerdin8579]

Andy Gray Yank?? A hard jerk?? I bet your teacher is so proud of all the work she put into educating you.

[@NZkayakfishing]

kayak Mike Thanks for your comments regarding the fish species but its a Yellowtail Kingfish dude. Scientific name Seriola lanlandi completely different to what has been quoted. Its from the Carangidae family cheers

[@mattnev8625]

Hahaha that awkward moment when you think a kingy is a mullet lol

[@itbeginx]

+kayak Mike Sorry to inform you, this is indeed a kingfish more precisely "yellowtail kingish" commonly called kingfish for short. They are all from the same genus "Seriola":Amberjack and yellowtail kingfish are all subspecies of theSeriola genus. Amberjack is most common name in atlantic regions. Am assuming you're from USA, I don't blame you for being close minded and know it all but do some real research before you lash out on others. Reference www.fishesofaustralia.net.au/home/species/1662#summary en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowtail_amberjack#Yellowtail_kingfish

[@kiwifisherman5883]
