Secret FISHING SPOT on the South Island of New Zealand

A fishing destination that should be on everyone's bucket list.
Remote Jackson Bay on the West Coast of the South Island is a true wild fishing paradise.
This is my favourite fishing spot on the South Island. It is very protected from overfishing due to it's remoteness and often un-fishable weather conditions.
The closest basic facilities are in the small town of Haast, 50km away. There's no cellphone reception and the NZ sandflies are ferocious.
Nevertheless this is a dream come true for every fisherman.
There is a long wharf for great land-based fishing. I went for a kayak fishing adventure and also for a dive. I caught so many Gurnard here, it was crazy. Diving for crayfish is also popular and productive here.

I've dived Jackson Bay so many times it's one if my favorite spots in the world

[@OCEANOUTKAST]

excellent team. Enjoyed the watch

[@Fishingreminder]

thanks man, glad you liked it. Was a little while ago but just got around to edit the footage :)

[@jakebrew9517]

Catch any crayfish mate?

[@Fishingreminder]

water was too dirty. I went for a dive and eventually found one but it was too deep in a crack to grab it :) But they are definitely there

What fish finder do you use on your phone mate? By the looks of?

[@Fishingreminder]

Hey, it's a deeper pro wifi fish finder - made a review about it a while ago. There is a new model out now. It's called a deeper chirp.

[@walkintomydream7208]

Lots of huge gurnards to see.

I went there last weekend... it wasn't good weather like this. But it was fun, nice pedalling to the islands, blue cod, red moki, kahawai.... when I was leaving the islands a seal was chasing my kayak.... it didn't seems so friendly at the time 😂😂 But I couldn't go to that (jackson bay) spot on the next day, very rough conditions ....next time. Great video mate!

[@Fishingreminder]

cheers man. Wow you get around quite a bit as well, eh. JB is a magic spot. Haha yeah those seals... Luckily it didn't try to jump on your yak. What was the sandfly situation like?

[@aranha9365]

@@Fishingreminder First time I went there, the sand lies were crazy.... the only place I got more sandflies than JB was at Lake Hauroko. But this time I think it was too windy for the sandflies haha

[@aranha9365]

I've been there quite a few times now. I have no idea how you managed to get so many gurnards on that area, I haven't see any other thing than harrings on that spot where you were. When diving I've seen plenty of marble fish and harrings on that place. If you had went to smoothwater bay with your kayak ( and not through the walking track) you would had hooked some kahawai or a skipjack tuna. The shark on the jig was a surprise too. How was the dive? Nice spot for crays there.

Nice

Thanks

Don't forget to take a full can of insect repellent when you are planning to go there!!

가고 싶어도 갈수가 없네요.ㅠㅠ 그냥 대리 만족만 암튼 자세한 포인트 설명 감사합니다. 아주 아주 훗날 혹시나 기회가 되면... 남섬 한번 가보고 싶네요.

[@Jannik-TravellersMindset]

hey mate, what exactly is that pedal boat you got there, from where did you got it and how much is it? was in jackson bay the other week and thinking to buy one aswell, would be mean. you sound german btw, grüße 😆✌🏻

[@Fishingreminder]

Hey man. It's a dream kayak siren 10.5. checkout my other vids. I made a review of this yak last year. I bought it in Christchurch for about 1600. Yeah you got my accent right, haha.

[@richardmcgrath9729]

I really enjoy your vids but eating trout but catching and releasing gurnard??!!

[@Fishingreminder]

Haha, yeah. We love eating gurnard. Normally I would keep one or two. But we had so much trout to eat that we didn't feel like eating fish anymore 😆 Better release than potentially wasting them.
