Slow Jig Fishing Blue Cod in New Zealand

Blue cod is one of my favourite fish to cook in batter. A beer batter actually. In this mission a I am showing a couple of my Patrons one of my fishing spots. We are doing our best to catch our bag limit of blue cod. We did not manage that but we managed a feed. I am fishing this slow jigs from Junkie Jigs, using a Jig Star rod with a Maxel reel. Clay Tall Stories videos are self filmed in New Zealand mostly in the South Island

Love these lyrics bro “Price you’ve paid for the choices you’ve made has left a scar on you” “forget your sorrow, jump into the now”

[@ClayTallStories]

Cheers mate. Wrote that ten years ago after watching one of my family members destroying their life with drugs

[@cailewilkinson8362]

Where can we go to buy your music brother

[@TheSebtrain]

What a life man. Fishing in the morn, hunt in the avo. Get me to NZ 🙏

[@jackbryan6350]

Hey clay quick tip for ya, instead of buying ice every time you go fishing you could just pull up a few 1.5L or 2L bottles and freeze them and just re-use them and just add a little bit of salt water in the chilly bin and yeah. Sweet as bro have a good one

I've parachuted hundreds of times, I love kayak surfing on big breakers, but sit me in a fishing boat that's bobbing up and down and it makes me sick every time. Funny how that works 😂

[@ClayTallStories]

I have thought about getting back into parachuting

[@taranscott155]

@@ClayTallStories There's no rush like it. I started jumping in the military and carried one after I left. Weird how my stomach is fine on a halo jump but lets me down on a fishing boat 😂

[@oskiprojects]

Epic song Clay

[@ClayTallStories]

Thanks. Wrote that for my band Conscious Fusion about ten years ago.

[@tiarnanvanderbrun8260]

Nice cod clay, junkie jigs killing it again!

[@londonclubbernz]

Everytine I throw and undersized blue cod back off my boat the shags catch them and guzzle them down. Should just keep them lol

[@ClayTallStories]

true lol

[@brendont1082]

Well you could maybe follow recommend practice and move spots when the shags turn and start doing that. And using bigger hooks to limit catching small ones as well

Thanks for a great video, Clay. I'm just getting into, slow, Jigging my self, see how it goes.

[@downunderfulla6001]

Captain is a trooper. I’ve never been seasick but imagine like all sickness it’s not very good. Do you not get snapper in winter. For us in North Queensland it’s our only time they are on the bite🍺🍺

[@juditharichards3394]

Howdy Mr. Clay: Sure is nice to see y’all. It’s Sunday morning, 4:00 am July 9,2023. Just happened to check my phone and saw y’all’s notification, so I ❤ watching you and your friends fishing and it tickled me when that young fella was fighting back sea sickness. Many many years ago I went out on Lake Erie, with my big brother and my brother in law. I was turning green, and I had taken Dramamine but it did help a little bit. I couldn’t do anything all damed day except watch the boys fish. Gary, my brother in law had been in the USA Navy for years as a young man; said he pucked his guts out when he went with Mike my brother. Just so you know, Mike, is an ASSHOLE. Unfortunately, Mike caught a pike; that was it for the whole day. I couldn’t eat, drink, or even smoke all day long. Ohhhhh well, I enjoy being with Gary; he was a really good man. Well, have to work in the yard, cutting grass and cleaning shit around the house; so the roofers don’t break their necks. Lots of snakes, garden variety but these are aggressive. Anyway back to your videos. Hopefully you guys do good hunting pigs. You look 👀 well, keep up the good work and take care. I will text you later when I get back in, I can’t come back in the house until I am done for the day. I have to wear special clothes for ticks. I pack my food and drinks in a cooler. Get everything ready, work from day light to dark, come in shower and do what I can until I cain’t go any more. You know Mr. Clay; I think we just may have to fight the Civil War all over again. Yeah, folks just don’t know what FREEDOM really means. Sincerely. Jude

[@ClayTallStories]

Entertaining as always, Jude. Love your stories. Where exactly in the world are you living?

[@leonardvirtue5753]

[@juditharichards3394]

Dear Mr. Clay, It’s Tuesday morning July 11,2023 and the time is 5:31 am. Just received your message. Well, I live in mid- Michigan in a fairly small town Howell. It used to be a nice little town to live in. Not so much anymore, things are changing and not for the better. Ditto on finding your videos interesting. We are going to town to the doctors. Taylor it’s just west of Detroit, Michigan. We go one ☝️ time a month for our necessary meds. It’s one of those things;where you are damed if you do and damed if you don’t. I dread it because my husband is never ready on time, then he rushes around here like a chicken with its head cut off. Most of the time we are late for our appointment. So, are you ready for this? I have been telling him we have to be at the doctors a half hour sooner than we need to be. Am I bad? Most of the time, we are late regardless of doing it this way. I always tell him that the only reason he’s not dead is because he is always late and he has been late for his own death. Haha! Ohhhhh well, it’s the truth. Ohh shit it’s daylight already, hold on I have to turn the outside light off and open the blinds in the living room. Be back in a little bit. Ok I am back. That’s the fastest I have moved in a couple of days. Like a dose of sauce threw a widow woman. Yeah, I am so sore from working in the yard last Sunday, cutting grass trimming trees bushes raking and I am not done by a long shot. Alrighty, Mr. Clay it’s time for me to lay down before today’s madness starts. So, y’all take care and I will let you know how this day goes real soon. Sincerely.

[@ClayTallStories]

Hey Jude. That man of yours is lucky to have someone steering the ship. Get him our in the yard working hard for his tucker. Tell him, no work, no food. Good to know where you live so if I ever come to the states I can pay you a visit and make you some Sourdough bread.

You should be wearing a hat, you good bastard, protection from the sun, just lost a friend few years ago, not wearing a hat in the hot sun in Aussie land, cancer. Consequently, wearing a hat outdoors may reduce the level of thermal stress by limiting the amount of solar radiation to the head. Just saying brother❤

[@ClayTallStories]

Thank you mate for the reminder 👍

[@phillycakeboss]

I'd stick to skills or atleast change the lyrics to happy days

The only 100% cure for seasickness is smoking a joint. Works every time😉
