SURFCASTING AROUND EASTCAPE

I catch up with a couple of lads, Damien Sinclear and Sam Morrison (Bounty Hunters) as we head around the East Cape for a few days in fairly average conditions trying to find decent water and big fish.
There was allot of fish caught, mainly 1-3kg fish, Sam caught a couple of decent fish up to 7kg and i chipped in with a 5.5kg snapper which wasn't caught on camera.
The footage is relatively raw, give me feedback, and we will continue to let you in on what happens on our adventures.
Thanks for watching

[@darranadam992]

bloody awesome video bro

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

Thank you bro, appreciate it.

[@pt4036]

good to see the bay is still producing the gurnard, always caught plenty for a feed

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

Damien pulled 3 gurnard out. And there was allot of other fish that I didn't edit in. Great places, and so many to visit. Cheers mate, hope it brought a few memories back for you.

[@henrynglam3766]

Nice video mate,nice catch too. Just a question,what is that sleeve over the butt end of your rod?

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

How's it mate. The new rods don't come with protection these days. So we use shrink wrap or winn tape to protect the rods from any damage bro. You can find shrink wrap cheep online at timu or winn tape on eBay. Applied with a hair drier, so easy as. 30mm shrink wrap is what your looking for

[@fullclip_nz]

cool vid, what size mono are u running and are you using a leader? if so what knot is the best cheers wgtn

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

How's it bro. In this clip we are running 6.1kg suffix advance. Using tappered leaders and back to back uni knots. Shimano is going to release some new lines soon, and they look.and feel amazing.

[@racepics]

Well done lads

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

Thanks Chris, appreciate it. A bit long winded, but sometimes it's nice to watch something with a bit of length to it. Hope your well

[@racepics]

Yes videos covering several days and places are great :)

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

@@racepics nice bro, thanks for the feed back. There were a few other good fish caught, but it was spread across different cameras, and added to the challenge of combining it. Hoping to develop a better system so it's easier in future.

[@shanemckinnon7101]

Hay I'm just looking at get new sand spikes rod holders just wondering if you could help out in letting me know where you got your one's...

[@rosscokm]

Hi just wondering what rods you guys are using as I’m looking for a good surf casting rod?

[@trimble42]

What’s the rods you’re using . Did you add the yellow cover?

[@WhitebaitRS]

awesome vid, also keen on where those rod holders are purchasable from, also curious about the brand of the rig beads and are they 5mm? cheers

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

Hay mate. The rod holders we won from competitions, they were made from Surtees, the boat manufacturer. They are as light as a feather, super awesome stands when there no wash around the base. There is a few others making duplicates now, so should be able to find some

[@WhitebaitRS]

@@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ cheers and if you mind sharing the make and size of the rig beads?

[@90millie20]

O Chad! i looked up to you as a fisherman,😔 if? i had a five your old son even he would kick your ass😀 ,P.S good camera work, See you soon BONANZA ON!

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

Haha, Sounds good bro, leave me a couple please. Can't wait!

[@darrenkilkolly2479]

Is that hicks bay bro?

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

Certainly is !

[@treehuggernz]

What’s the wrap material you guys are using?

[@treehuggernz]

Ooh and where can I pick up one of those rod holders? They look the ticket.

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

The product is from sea harvester. It's called "bait elastic" and it's bloody good stuff. It doesn't clog the hooks like other brands and it's reasonably easy to remove. There's a heap of other brands that release similar products to

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

The rod holders were won at a competition, made by Surtees boat manufacturers. They are amazing, providing there are high and dry out of the wash. Super light and very strong. I believe a number of folks are not replicating them and selling them. But if you google aluminium rod stands, something should show up, otherwise I happy to share any dimensions of our gear.

[@treehuggernz]

Sorry I shoulda been a bit more precise … the wrap I was referring to is the wrapping on your rods. Chur.

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

Shrink wrap on mine, WYNN type on Sam's

[@Thoeun-uj1sy]

Can you light a bombs fire on the beach too ?

[@HARDCOREOUTDOORSNZ]

Providing it's not a fireman at the time, yeah bro, plenty of wood there to light a fire, cook a feed and enjoy the place.

[@emmerichcoleman2490]

I don't even finish watching it, I'll give it like and hopefully the video will get 4 views, just kidding, let it be 4 million, just so I wrote that you find a service that will allow you to promote your channel.
