Hi, we just meet at French Pass last week and I was showing you my home made lures. This is the video I had watched of yours previously. So I had seen your channel :) Alex my youngest son caught a 50cm blue cod on this trip. Good fish.

Hi Rod, it was nice meeting you guys. Wow that is a massive blue cod, well done! We had a bit of luck getting a kingie after you left. What an awesome spot, eh.

Walk on the track past Elaine bay right hand side to red rock. You will see it easy enough as lives up to its name. Snaps kings and blue cod although a bit reefy. Lots of couta that will strip your gear around the pass in winter as well. Enjoy your vids from a local whos looking forward to getting back 🙂

Awesome feedback 👍 I'll check out red rock next time. Sounds like a great land based option.

Great video, thanks very much! I was particularly pleased with the balance you've achieved between time spent and number of places visited. Too many vlog-ers spend too much time in one spot with little or no result. Your videos show us the spots, touching nicely on the camping ( I live in a motorhome ) before moving onto the fishing itself. The short, diagrammatic maps form a nice bridge between places, much like a well written song. You've avoided my pet hate too - playing "background" music over the top of your own dialogue - I want to hear what you've got to say. All in all, a very nice presentation.

Many years since I've explored the Sounds and have never been out to places like Titirangi. Would you take a 7.4m motorhome out there?

Thanks a lot for a. very informative video. I live in the NI and next summer will head south to the Sounds and further south so your advice about fishing spots and camping grounds is very useful.

Hi Mark, just watched your last vid...Im about to buy a softbaiting set...would a Penn 2500 or 3500 be a good choice for a reel? I subscribed early and glad I did, always looking forward to your next vid...cheers
@FishingreminderАй бұрын
Cheers mate. I have both the 2500 and 3500. Very similar except that 3500 has a little bit more line capacity and is slightly heavier. I think I prefer the 2500 but only by a very very slight margin :) Are you fishing from a kayak or boat? Anyway you can't go wrong with a penn spinfisher. They are fantastic reels and absolutely bullet proof.

Hey mate looking to catch king fish from the land I've got a drone where is the best place to get them in the south island would drone fishing be good in the French pass drone an lift fully grown kahawia as livies
@Fishingreminder2 жыл бұрын
Hi there, I don't think you can lift a fully grown kahawai with a small drone. You'd need something like the aero kontiki. But you don't need a drone to target kingies as they come right in close to shore. The best places for drone fishing are open beaches. Golden Bay comes to mind or some places around Nelson where drone fishing is permitted. Perhaps even some places in the sounds over clean bottom. I found French Pass is not good for drone fishing as there are too many reefs and too strong currents. The best time to target Kingies around there would be summer to autumn.

Yeah, for drone fishing and catching a kingie I think Golden Bay would be a better choice than French Pass. French Pass is better suited for kayak or boat fishing. What kind of drone do you have? 3kg is quite a lot :)
