yeah it works pretty good. gotta get into making a little video about it :)

It's a dream kayak siren 10.5 Unfortunately they don't seem to sell them anymore in NZ. Torpedo 7 used to sell a similar pedal kayak. It seems difficult to get a pedal kayak these days.

@@Fishingreminder cheers thought it was a Hobie there is a place on the north shore that I have seen advertise pedal kayaks wavepassion_nz has them for $1,499 fish master elite4 I have 1 but didn't get the pedal version wish I did kow

Hey Luke, you mean how I set them up for targeting kingfish?

it's amazing out there when the kahawai are running, eh

@@Fishingreminder for sure especially when the big models are there fun all round

Thanks so much, Glad you enjoyed it and it was helpful!

fantastic to hear that, cheers

Hey mate, yeah thats also a great spot. Got a video on that as well :)

@@Fishingreminder ok must go look for it cheers

yeah for sure, it's a great drone. I think it will be ready for release mid July. As soon as it is release we'll get onto the full review.

@@Fishingreminder awesome! Will be waiting to watch it I’m sure you will have fun too!

cheers

@Fishingreminder I subscribed and got some 20 30 40g jigs today

@@bagheerasadventures awesome, good luck. Let us know how you get on.

cheers mate, will next time :)

awesome place to grow up

A big stingray would tow you around for a while with locked drag and you wouldn't be able to land it or unhook it from the boat. Eventually you would be able to get it close to the boat and then your only option would be to cut the line I think. Depends how big we're talking of course. Where I live we have stingrays over 100 pound and I would not be able to handle one like that from any small boat or kayak. But smaller ones could probably be half way lifted out the water to remove the hook. Although fishing from a little boat like that I usually use light tackle and a big ray would break off anyway.

Another option is to fish with lures. I never caught a stingray on a lure, good way to avoid them.

thanks man, glad you enjoy our content

cheers, hope you enjoy it

@@Fishingreminder got it in today, set it up to test for any leaks and now I’m on my Way for my first little kayak fishing bout. I love how you guys turned the seats around, gonna bring my lady tomorrow and the kids this weekend! Your reviews are really great and well explained!

@@92PapaG thanks man, appreciate the nice feedback! Good luck with the fishing.

hey mate, hard questions. I love kayak fishing, especially with a pedal kayak. Can't beat the stealth and cost effectiveness. But you got a limited range and you also depend a lot on the tides and currents. With a small boat you have an extended range and don't have to worry about currents and wind so much. Of course it depends on where you fish and how much exploring you're going to do. So yeah tough decision - at the moment I would probably tend towards the inflatable. It's good fun zooming around with it. And yeah I would buy the Aqua Marina again. I don't see any advantage of buying a True Kit. I would consider a Takacat because of the open transom. It would make it better for launching on a beach if waves crash over the bow. But considering that it is 3 times more expensive - not sure if that is enough of an advantage for me :) Hope that helps

@@Fishingreminder thank you for your advice & yes it certainly helps … cheers & have a good weekend 👊

Depends what you want to do with it. For me 1kg is plenty. I usually fly out two hook rigs and that's less than 500g in total. 5 hooks wouldn't be a problem. Don't know many applications where you'd need more than a kg payload, but you'd be looking at something really expensive and cumbersome like the aero kontiki drone.

thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video

Wow, thanks! Appreciate the nice feedback.

cheers mate, hope you get a chance to fish there one day!

Kaiteriteri is beautiful - except during summer holiday season, LOL

cheers, I use between 3 and 5 ounce sand sinkers

the standard phnatom 3 can handle up to 500 meters. I usually go 400 meters max. The pro version can do 1 kilometre I think and the phantom 4 even more. But you really only need 300-400 meters from my experience.

cheers Hugh, that was probably the longest episode we ever made, haha. Glad you enjoyed it.

Vuu😢😢​@@Fishingremindervusgnq❤vummzzz ASC ❤❤❤

Awesome, glad it was helpful. Definitely a great solution for traveling and camping.

Thanks Kevin, definitely a stunning spot, eh.

Cheers Craig 👍

yeah it's a ripper :)

Thanks for the warning. Another bullshit rule. Pretty hard to remove the guts and gills without cutting through the throat.

Glad you enjoyed

thanks mate, yeah always end up on my own when I catch a kingie and nobody around to film, haha

cheers mate, it's been great already - will have quite a bit of content coming up with still :)

I've heard about this. After seeing you advertise this and test this, I'm actually going to look into this Thanks for sharing

@@Fishingreminder look forward to it bro.

Thanks mate, yeah for sure kingies always get the old heart pounding :)

cheers Peter, that's a good way to get rid of them, haha. It seems that once they had their feed they need a little while to digest it.

cheers mate, appreciate the nice comment. Luckily the suspected engine noise turned out to be only a loose heat shield and the battery was already 5 years old and dying. Should have replaced it before the trip but was too busy, haha. The Ssangyong is a Korean car, eh? They produce pretty good quality stuff.

That was in late April

Ah was wondering as thought they'd all headed off by now- nice catch!!

haha yeah some good tips. I cut myself way too often, never seem to learn, haha. The only thing with wire traces is that they're a little bit stiff and affect the lure action in a negative way. But better than loosing all the lures. Have you tried kevlar instead of wire yet?

Yeah even used electric fence wire it works really well, do a lot of surf casting back home on the westcoast and it's pretty rugged conditions ,liked your video on drone just in the process of getting one to give it a crack.

@@muza1404 nice mate, a drone makes a big difference for land-based. You mean the Ruko or the new Aeroo Pro Drone?

cheers Dave, yeah man a hell of a drive. Definitely easier without towing 3 tons around. But the kingie and the beautiful spot were worth it for sure.

Cheers mate, yeah I was planning to go to Elaine Bay on the way back but we were running low on drinking water and fuel so headed straight to Okiwi Bay. But we camped at Elaine Bay before and love that spot as well. Luckily there's always a next time :)

cheers Peter, yeah that is the best trolling lure I have used so far and next time I'll definitely take a slingshot to scare away the shags, haha. It's almost impossible to release fish otherwise.

@@Fishingreminder think an airhorn is just as good to scare them off

@@BasicFishingNZ haha, good idea

cheers mate, thanks for the tip. Yeah I watched the Glowbite video on it. But the lure will still slide off when you cast it a few times. If you just drop it over the side of the boat then it will stay in place. But it's the same with any softbait/wormhook combination. It's possible to use a small piece of paperclip around the hook eye and make a little barb to fix the flounder in place. That usually works great for me and then it won't come off even when casting.

Hi Ronald, get in touch with the guys at baitcannons nz. They sell the weights separately. Let them know that fishingreminder sent you over :) baitcannons.co.nz

I don't think so - Hector Dolphins are fairly small and have black fins.

They are made by an Australian company called railblaza. www.railblaza.com/products/c-tug-dinghy-wheels/

It a 3.3 meter length

Cheers for the info. The DJI mini wont let you fly in restricted zones. It would have been just outside of the zone.

Thanks Craig, I wasn't sure if less editing and my babbling would go down well. Glad you enjoyed it.

Babbles good..your not far to Hori bay in your little boat, good landbased there for your drones. You made a release for the Roku drone?

@@craigwheaton2506 I might give Hori Bay a go, looks pretty good. Yeah I tried the Ruko with a bait release and it works surprisingly good. It's not the best drone for filming to be honest, but using it as a fishing drone turns it's weakness into it's strength. The motors are quite powerful and I did a couple 300 meter drops with my two hook dropper rig and 3 ounce sinker. It didn't even flinch a bit. I'm actually quite excited about it because I've been looking for a fishing drone that is very cheap, small and yet powerful. This might be it. Easy to stuff into a backpack when going for a hike, compared to the bigger fishing drones. I'll be making a video about this soon.

@@Fishingreminder I’d be very keen on it for slidebaiting for the same reasons, fit nicely in my kayak.

O that sucks, I didn't know that. Who would do such a thing? No wonder the fish look like that.

our council isnt the brightest bunch and thought so thats why you dont see any one here swimming in it because of that reason.

Hi Kevin, yeah the deeper has been pretty good. I used mine frequently over the last 7 years and I love it. Just that the battery was getting a bit weak. Since I hardly every use it for casting and usually just drop it over the side of my boat, kayak or paddle board I thought it be cool to have it run on an external battery for extended runtime. Funny enough when I got back home it worked again. I think just the connector that I used was crap. I will give it another try in the field next week. But I also made a review of the deeper pro a while back, if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/ZQOCBNBl3B4/видео.html

Yeah I really hope it won't be gated up. There are not a lot of good and safe spots to launch small boats and kayaks in this area. Places like this should be accessible to the public.
