The Fish Were BITING! Catch And Cook

[@agentorange3117]

Rod & Mark = 2 chillest fishermen on the tube, 1 true mate is worth a million non, fr. 👌👍🤙

[@mato9282]

Seriously. I love watching Rod and guys like Mark. I can’t stand a lot the big boisterous fishing channels. So much yelling!

[@agentorange3117]

@@mato9282 Def agree with you there, they so chill together it's bliss, beats the screaming and everyone talking over each other to the point of being painful

going through all the old vids with mark in them haha. Love your guys relationship and the banter

[@myfathertaughtmethat]

Hi Mate, always love seeing your posts pop up. I am excited to say that in the next week or so, I will take delivery of my very own 1450 for Northside Marine. A couple of months back, I spoke with Jason about upgrading my tinny, and without hesitation, he handed me the Stabicraft brochure. I think I was instantly hooked, but your videos made the 1450 an easy choice. This morning, I got a sneak peek of some of the 2024 1450 upgrades and, must say, some very pleasant surprises. It just get better and better, I plan on putting a video up so people can see. Keep up the great work; your openness and transparency are refreshing. Any man who ventures into the ocean in a Kayak is someone to be respected. You are a braver man than I am. I would be keen for a 1450 dual trip one day if you are up to it.

[@TheNeokido]

Glad to know you are still posting. These videos are very therapeutic for me thank you😊😊

[@foobar8485]

Good to see Mark and his amazing squid catching and cooking skill again, looking forward to more frequent presence of him.

[@mikeladley5149]

Excellent video! Awesome eats. I remember fishing bonito, yellowtail/amberjack, and calico bass off La Jolla, and Point Loma in San Diego in the late 60's, 70's, 80's. Some of the best numbers ever. 👍🐟

[@martinquintana5837]

Another epic video Rod, good to see you with your buddy Mark that guy can cook. A simple dish yet so healthy. Aloha from Kansas

[@noraleestone2859]

04:25 Whoa!! You could almost just net them! 😁

[@arthudson81]

Thanks for the great video guys! Always a treat when Mark is around. Always super chill and good vibes from the guy

[@Here4ucantbe]

Great video!!! I needed this after watching almost 5 stinking inches of snow fall 😠😡And now, as per usual, I am hungry!! Wonderfall as always Rod XOXOX

[@utahjag]

Not sure if I told you but you were my first KZbin subscription. From the kayak to the better kayak to the small inflatable to quitting your job to the bigger inflatable to the boat... Your episodes are like a fishing trip. That's why I Love them. You have great trips, bad trips and everything in between. But we get to see the set up, maybe the location or drive, the cool morning start out on the water. Such a treat, all of it. Thanks, Rod, for the continued excellent filming, trips, good, bad and all the effort into your awesome editing. My first channel and hopefully my longest lasting :)

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks for sticking with me for so long mate🤙

[@pedroescalona1310]

Man, Rod I just absolutely love your videos. Blessings to you and yours.

[@rcsutter]

That's such a blast when you get a bunch of hot fish stacked up underneath you! Those Bonito are hard fighters, looked like a lot of fun. And that bait that had the clean bite taken out at 7:53 - like you said, holy smokes! Was that a tailor? Bad ass fish, whatever it was. No skinny dipping there for me, he'd take your pecker clean off! Always a great way to start the weekend, thanks and take care Rod.

[@peterm6199]

Bias opinion being from Sydney town myself, just love the vids with two old mates getting together and getting it done ✅ fantastic gents 👌 👌 👌

[@wadeflores6978]

Lmao “he’s having a bad day”😂😂😂 “He’s got a bit of beans all of sudden!” “He’s full of beans!” wtf Rod, the phrasing in this episode is next level 🤣😭

[@mrcrankyank]

Once again killing the simple fishing / simple recipe game. Mark always makes those dishes look so easy

[@verogjoseph]

Right on time - thanks for these fantastic videos. Without a doubt my favourite channel Rod😊

[@paularuotsalainen979]

Thank you for the very enjoyable video, Rod and Mark 😍 Great fishing and inspiring cooking!

[@James-3000]

No better way to start the weekend than kicking back with Rod’s latest adventure!

[@kuma9069]

Good vid, man. Nice to see ur in good company. Lovely dish u shared. Greeks know, they have Mediterranean blood, which also flows through our Catalan veins. Have you ever heard of "Arròs Negre"? Rice cooked with bits of squid and tinted black with the ink gland they carry? "Black rice" in English. Look it up, it's deelish.!!

[@robertomalundo314]

Your fishing blogs are always great. Thanks for sharing same passion with me 😊. Cheers!

[@JMS_Outdoors]

Some of my favorite content to watch. Love your videos and when you fish with friends. The meals always look fantastic. Makes me wish I was back in the Florida Keys again. Love it! Be well, guys.

[@Nate_Squared]

Always good when Mark shows up🤙

[@BadgerBJJ]

The guy cutting the fish and tomatoes knows his business cutting on the backstroke. Always slice on the backstroke like a culinary samurai. A sprinkle of seasoned breadcrumbs would have been nice.

[@rokkitkit]

Yep, mark was a chef before switch to builder👌

[@MikaeleIosefa714]

I love all the videos you put up, I love seeing the live kayak videos and the ones where you camp on the island and fish around the perimeter. Island tent camping was great. I love the boat!! Are you able to go to new islands further out than you were able to on the pocket rocket? Much love and respect!!

[@Outerrythem]

Half a lifetime ago when I lived in Rose Bay (now up in QLD), we used to fish the wooden white markers in the harbor for kings, flicking plastics and dropping a live bait more often then not resulted in a king. The corner of Rose Bay/Vaucluse was always worth a troll at first light in the summer months.

[@petereaton6740]

7:30am and I'm watching you guys cook what looks to be a very nice breakfast, where's mine? Lol damn you always make me hungry

[@JohnFishingOfficial]

Quality fishing! Some nice fish caught there

I look forward to seeing the bonito every year. This year was a funky one in San Diego. Good size fish when they popped up.

[@Jake-ky9ed]

We will call them choppers as well here, a lot of times though when we say “choppers blues” probably talking about a bigger blue? I like blue fish fresh, a lot folks look down their noses at em but they are good straight out the water. Cheers man, looked like a fun day

[@frednurk8590]

I absolutely love that recipe, I usually do anchovies and garlic with some slices of lime or lemon on top, and it also goes brilliantly with a herb breadcrumb topping. Well done, it looks delicious and has inspired me to get that recipe back into my rotation.

[@twinflowerfioretta]

I'm only a little bit envious lol 😄 you always bring fantastic content and views wherever you go, two top Guys addicted to Ocean life and food, both great cooks ✌️👍👍Thanks !🤿💙Love It. Btw. I am on a little Island in Thailand, underwater is my fav. and the food😅

Looking forward to watching this later.. Love your channel sooooo much!!! :0) Hello from Ireland

[@SlCKB0Y-sb1kg]

I’ve spent most of my life living in this area so the heads, Rose Bay (where the boat went in) and Watsons Bay (ice run) are so familiar to me.

[@debramage739]

Thanks Rod and Mark, food looked so tasty 😊

[@ultramoon4]

Lovely surprise

[@pigsandapples]

Thanks for another great video. Really interesting to see you fishing in your old back yard. You mentioned tailor off the rocks - I still spin up the big ones from time to time but usually in March/April where I fish on the Northern beaches. I seem to get the biggest in the pre-dawn.

[@cakesnipher7024]

I jave been waiting for this all day. Thanks Rod

Thanks for watching them mate 👍

Still plenty of XL Tailor getting around rod, gotta target em' to catch em'! Nice vid once again mate.

Hello Rod, i would like to have the recipe in the description ? all your cooking is special and delicious...thanks !😋yummy

80th view in under 4 mins! That meal looked amazing and I'm going to try that recipe with a local Canadian fish. Thank you for the inspiration chef!

Great footage of the Yakkas eating bait Rod!

[@jackgalloway8314]

Wicked, Rod! Love the channel 💜

[@Brian_Kwan]

Your in the right spot for livies at the first place. I find burley really helps! Small sinker the size of a pea and smaller hook sabikis so it floats a bit more naturally. And go right in to the corner where it's shallow.

[@BRZZ-xw4hd]

great vid .thanks ....peace out

[@nathankirkwood9744]

Didn't know you caught bluefish in Australia. Cool.

[@biggieBoy84]

Man that looked like a great time!

[@ClassicallyMish]

Love the haircut

[@aricarr247]

Try a second gang hook 4 inches below on the tail for the bite that comes at the back. You will get that back bite.even use wire from the main hook.

Onya Rokkit 👍 Just planted a finger lime, bloody leaf miners are killing me. Inconsistent watering or rain and or lack of potassium sulphate makes the citrus fruit drop early

[@Well_Edumacated]

4:49 are you allowed to used cast net in AU for getting bait?

[@rokkitkit]

No cast nets allowed in NSW, they are fine up in QLD where I live👍

Fantastic Video! I loved the bonito action. I will get out to the same spot and have a go next week. I am just wondering what Bait board you have? Would love to grab one.

Daily fish is fresher than stored.

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

Better put old mate on boat washing duties. Bloody amateurs 😂. I cringe everytime i net a squid in my yak too. Its a process to keep them pointed away from you lol.

How do you have your live bait tank? Thinking of something similar for my 4.15

Hey Rod what fishing rods and reels do you use and what sizes? I'm planning a fishing trip this spring to El Salvador with my wife and children and plan to go fishing. Thank you for your time and very informative videos. Always enjoy them. Blessings!

[@danny88dh]

4:47 damn that's alot of bait is it illegal to use a cast net there? You could of had enough bait for days in 1 throw lol

[@rokkitkit]

No cast nets allowed in NSW, they are fine up in QLD where I live👍

[@briancummings9760]

Can you use a cast net in Australia?

[@cakesnipher7024]

That is a good question. I don't believe I have seen any of the other vloggers in Australia use them either.

[@rokkitkit]

You can in Queensland but not in New South Wales. I actually just brought one for use back home, so soon it will be coming along… but I need to learn how to use it because I grew up in NSW so never thrown one😅

[@JonathanMark-sf5tm]

Live baits were thick rod ! And it's so much fun when they wake up and run when they see the boat nice bonito. Thanks for the magic you create. And it's awsame to see the big blue fish and the story again of you and your father fishing as a kid off the rocks was nice to see your perfected style catching these tasty fish. What size reel were you using for your live baiting? In the authority range?

[@jarod2321]

Saturday morning magic! One of the only times I didn't wait for the upload before bed, work nights. How are you?

Ya good thanks jarod cheers for asking🤙 How are you bro? God I love the adventure rod has created over the years. I recon he should start screen printing his shirts again I would buy some merch of him for sure👍

Farkkkk bro I’m camping in lake Illawarra tonight would be mad if you came down but ik it’s a long shot should really plan to do a camping mission buddy boating would be mad I’ve got a 480 coast runner with 150lt of fuel can basically go anywhere hay

[@benives254]

If you catch a nice one, but have no ice, can you put them on a stringer in the water while you carry on fishing to keep them fresh and alive, or would they likely get eaten?

[@Outerrythem]

You would have saved some time catching the yakkas at the jetty before you launched. They are stacked up under there. A piece of mince beef on each hook and that bait tank would have been full in 10 mins.

[@jarod2321]

Always enjoy the uploads with Mark, will try this recipe. Any other types of fish you would recommend for this? Mark needs his own cooking channel.
